IR stashes and late-week pivots drive week one prep. Tajay Spears and Marshawn Lloyd loom as priority adds for backfields with uncertain early workloads. Jalen McMillan and Jaden Shirden offer rookie upside for those hunting cheap Week 1 upside, especially in deeper leagues. Chris Godwin’s status and Cade Otton’s role add nuance to TB’s pass game, while Roschon Johnson sits on deck for Chicago as the season opens.

In Jacksonville, Etienne and Bigsby shape a nuanced backfield dynamic, with coachspeak signaling continued usage. Brandon Ayuk and Brandon Johnson offer potential Week 1 relevance in shallow formats, and the wider WR corps in Green Bay and TB holds intriguing late-week potential as rosters settle.
