Philadelphia’s roster shake-ups continue to echo through fantasy rosters. Mekhi Becton’s exit to Los Angeles opened a door for Tyler Steen to seize starting right guard duties, with Philadelphia keeping veteran depth around him—Brett Toth and Matt Pryor in the wings, and Trevor Keegan in the mix. The move underscores the Eagles’ tendency to gamble smartly in free agency, saving money at guard and leaning on internal development. Becton’s health in Chargers camp adds a layer of uncertainty to his legacy, while the Carson Wentz and A.J. Brown trades remain a reminder that blockbuster moves can quietly shift fantasy ceilings for multiple players. Steen’s emergence is a clarion call for fantasy managers to monitor Philadelphia’s interior line mechanics, as improved blocking could unlock Hurts and the skill-position group, especially if Becton’s injury timeline stretches.

In LA, Becton’s absence from Chargers practices after a quiet entry to the lineup fuels questions about roster fit and injury timing. The situation highlights how a former champion’s fortunes can hinge on a fresh start and health. As Philadelphia’s line solidifies behind Steen, the door remains open for seizing late-round guards who could seize Week 1 roles, with the potential for real-season gains if the front five locks in. The dynamic between Steen, Toth, and Pryor will shape both run and pass protection, offering a nuanced angle for fantasy bettors tracking weekly line shifts and matchup dependencies.

Herbert will lead the Chargers’ offense in a preseason clash with the Rams, aiming to test live rush and build timing with a revamped receiving corps that includes Tre’ Harris, KeAndre Lambert-Smith, and Keenan Allen. Allen will still log limited snaps as he ramps up, giving Herbert a sense of comfort against a real pass rush before Week 1 in Brazil. The plan to play the starters despite injuries signals urgency over caution.

With Derwin James and Khalil Mack sidelined, Daiyan Henley steps into a leadership spotlight after a breakout season, while Joe Alt shifts back to left tackle to anchor a reimagined OL. Oronde Gadsden II has impressed with route-running polish and could push for more snaps as the Chargers explore a TE committee behind Will Dissly and Tyler Conklin. The Rams test should illuminate depth and chemistry from top to bottom as LA readies for the regular season.

Herbert takes the field for a preseason debut to test a live rush from the Rams, a crucial tune-up as Los Angeles reloads its offense. Allen returns slowly, while a reshaped receiving corps, rookie reps, and a revamped line try to unlock Week 1 tempo. On defense, Henley steps into leadership with Derwin James and Khalil Mack sidelined for precaution, and the TE group leans committee as Dissly and Conklin clash for snaps. The game also frames Mehkhi Becton’s absence and Alt’s shift to left tackle as the offensive line retools.

Live reps in SoFi Stadium matter for fantasy managers. Herbert’s willingness to push, Allen’s conditioning arc, Henley’s growth, Alt’s alignment, and the Dissly-Conklin dynamic all feed into early-season projections, while the defense uses this stage to calibrate communication and leadership without its big-name veterans. It’s a practical, high-leverage watch for fantasy prep and betting angles ahead of the Brazil opener.

Key takeaways center on how quickly the Chargers translate a banged-up roster into rhythm against a Rams unit hungry to pressure a young offense. With minor injuries shaping roles, the outcome will tilt how fantasy rosters value Herbert, Allen, Dissly, Conklin, and Henley early in the season.

Landon Dickerson escaped a major knee injury after practice, with doctors calling the meniscus repair minor and a week-to-week outlook. The Eagles hope he can be ready for the season opener against Dallas, but his status is uncertain.

With Dickerson sidelined, the Eagles turn to Tyler Steen at right guard and potential first-team reps for Kenyon Green and Matt Pryor. Mekhi Becton’s departure to the Chargers adds depth questions. Week 1 versus Dallas looms large for Philadelphia’s interior line and run/pass protection, shaping early fantasy projections around the offense’s strength and continuity.

Landon Dickerson’s MRI on a knee injury casts a shadow over Philadelphia’s interior line ahead of the season. If the guard misses time, interior protection and run blocking could be stressed, nudging projections for the Eagles’ offense and the supporting cast around Hurts.

Alexander Mattison’s season-ending neck surgery reorders Miami’s backfield chemistry. The Dolphins pivot to De’Von Achane, Jaylen Wright, and Ollie Gordon II, with Aaron Shampklin adding depth. Colts and Ravens injuries also reshape depth charts, testing fantasy timelines for their pass defenses and run games.

Kenny Moore II’s knee issue and Robert Longerbeam’s season-ending injury hit Indianapolis and Baltimore earlier in practice, tightening the pressure on rookies and veterans to step up. Bilhal Kone’s ACL tear for Baltimore deepens a thin sixth-round class, amplifying the need for immediate contribution from youngsters. Mekhi Becton’s free-agent departure further shakes team-building plans across the league; the ripple effects touch multiple fantasy rosters as rosters re-balance.

Across the league, the headlines tilt toward depth-chart shuffles, MRI outcomes, and the immediate fantasy implications for backups and situational players. Managers should monitor practice reports closely for early-week movement, snap shares, and potential waiver targets who could fill in for injured stars.
