Xavier Gipson cracked the Jets’ 53-man roster, adding a dynamic WR option behind Garrett Wilson and signaling depth-building over hype. Tyrod Taylor secured Week 1 depth at QB by avoiding the PUP/IR level, a relief for roster stability. Malachi Corley and Donovan Edwards were among the notable cuts, underscoring the Jets’ preference for proven depth over draft buzz. Expect waiver churn and possible practice-squad moves as Week 1 nears.

The Jets didn’t swing for splash, but they created a flexible, competition-driven group with clear roles. Fantasy angles hinge on Gipson’s gadget/return potential and Taylor’s backup floor; both could influence late-season rosters and DFS in select matchups as the Jets navigate Week 1 and beyond.

The Titans sit with the No. 1 waiver position and aim to add depth across RB, DL, LB and DB after cut day, targeting 15 players who could spark a quick roster boost or longer-term development. This group emphasizes athleticism, versatility and scheme-fit, offering Tennessee multiple lanes to upgrade the depth chart without giving up future assets.

Key targets include Armour-Davis and Brents at corner, Dulcich and Jenkins at tight end, Audric Estime and Sermon in the backfield, Foskey and Leal along the edge/DI rotation, and Watts on the edge. Veterans like Maulet and Moss would add experience, while the rest provide immediate upside or situational versatility.

Fantasy takeaway: monitor waiver moves closely. Several of these players could carve roles quickly if injuries linger or performance opens passing-down opportunities, making the wire a potential game-changer for Titans depth and fantasy value in the early portion of the season.

Buffalo's 53-man cut includes Maxwell Hairston going on short-term IR with a right LCL sprain, sidelining him for at least four games and impacting the Week 5 return amid a tough early slate. Tylan Grable also lands on IR. Without Hairston, Tre'Davious White and Christian Benford take on boundary duties, with Dane Jackson, Ja'Marcus Ingram and rookie Dorian Strong stepping up as potential Week 1 fill-ins while White’s status remains uncertain.

Hairston’s return timing shapes the Bills’ ceiling at CB for fantasy playoff runs, and Buffalo’s depth moves hint at confidence in their youth to carry the load until Hairston and White return. The Ravens, Jets, Dolphins and Saints loom in the opening stretch, making early defensive metrics and WR targets key as roster depth is tested.
