Philadelphia bolsters its pass rush by adding Za'Darius Smith, while also hosting seven players for a workout and signing Patrick Johnson to the 53-man roster. The front office then adds Montrell Johnson and Hollin Pierce to the practice squad, releasing Elijah Cooks from it. A surprising late move sends Tank Bigsby from Jacksonville to Philadelphia to deepen the backfield behind Barkley, Shipley, and Dillon, with Bigsby valued as a potential returner. The RB room now carries extra competition and cost-efficient control for next year, signaling a shift toward versatility and return-game upside.

The moves emphasize Philadelphia's bet on depth over a single-spot fix, with attention turning to Bigsby's kickoff return ability and the RB rotation in Weeks ahead. While Shipley recovers from a rib issue, Bigsby's role will be watched to see if he pushes Shipley or Dillon for touches or if Barkley remains the clear workhorse. In fantasy terms, the Eagles’ backfield dynamics and Bigsby’s special-teams potential create more volatile but intriguing weekly options.

Dantae Chin claimed Rutgers’ Week 1 left tackle job after a training camp battle stretched across Needham, White and Langsdale. Langsdale’s season-ending injury opens a clearer path for Chin, with a rotating plan likely to persist as the Knights gauge best combinations. Hollin Pierce’s pro path provides a high benchmark for the room, inspiring Chin to keep developing and proving consistency every week.

Rutgers’ offensive line growth hinges on Chin’s continued progress and the rotation’s effectiveness. Week 2 vs Miami (OH) will test protection and run lanes as the Knights aim to stabilize what had been a flux-filled position, turning the Chin-Needham-White trio into a reliable front five.

The dynamic around the line sets the tone for Rutgers’ fantasy relevance on offense, with pass protection and opening running seams influencing targets and efficiency across skill players.

The Jacksonville Jaguars have made bold moves in their latest 7-round mock draft, responding to their offseason needs and free agency changes. At the fifth overall pick, they selected Mason Graham, a disruptive defensive tackle from Michigan, highlighting the need for depth at the position after not addressing it in free agency. This choice is particularly strategic given the deep talent pool available this year.

In the second round, they picked tight end Harold Fannin, known for his pass-catching prowess, which adds versatility to the Jaguars' offense. The third-round pick was edge rusher Bradyn Swinson from LSU, who had a standout season, enhancing the team's defensive line. Other notable selections include Hollin Pierce, an offensive tackle, and Kyren Lacy, a wide receiver, both aimed at boosting competition and depth. The Jaguars' final rounds saw them address key positions like cornerback and safety, completing a well-rounded draft.
