Penn State's 2026 season will feature a completely overhauled roster following an offseason of significant transition. A coaching change led to a flurry of activity in the transfer portal, which led to a number of new faces on the program. We have taken some time to profile each player on the roster this season, but now it is time to dig a little deeper on the 25 players who will play the largest roles on the roster.The tight end position has been one of the more consistently productive positions at Penn State over the past decade, but there is a new coaching staff putting together the offensive game plans now. Despite the changes, the tight end position should still be instrumental in the success of the Penn State offense in 2026, and the return of Andrew Rappleyea gives Penn State a possible star in the making at the position as he enters his redshirt junior season. Could this be a breakout candidate?2025 in reviewAfter essentially missing the entire 2024 season due to injury, Andrew Rappleyea saw action in 13 games during the 2025 season, including eight starts. Rappleyea recorded 20 receptions for 180 yards with three touchdowns, and he ended the season with some momentum in the offense. Rappleyea had a career-long 53-yard catch in the regular-season finale against Rutgers, and he ended the season with a pivotal 11-yard touchdown in the Pinstripe Bowl victory over Clemson. In the Pinstripe Bowl, Rappleyea had five receptions for 18 yards.Biggest question for 2026What exactly will the tight end position look like in 2026, and what role will Andrew Rappleyea fill in it? Rappleyea was the second-leading tight end on the roster last season behind Luke Reynolds, who followed James Franklin to Virginia Tech by way of the transfer portal this offseason. But Penn State brought in former Iowa State tight ends Benjamin Brahmer and Gabe Burkle from the transfer portal to fill the roster. All three could see some action in the offense this season, but Rappleyea could be one of the leading options if he can prove worthy of being a primary target.2026 will be a success if...Penn State has developed a nice track record for tight end development and production, but this is a new coaching staff running the show. In order for Rappleyea's season to be considered a success, he does not have to be the leading receiver the way a guy like Tyler Warren was a few seasons ago, but picking up where his 2025 season left off would be good to see. Catching 30 passes for a few hundred receiving yards and a few touchdowns may be all that is needed to qualify as a success this fall.2026 will be a disappointment if...If Rappleyea does not end the season as Penn State's top tight end in terms of receiving production, that would be a bit of a disappointment. That may not mean the offense is hindered, as Benjamin Brahmer could be an option to be a leading contributor.Realistic outlook for 2026Do not expect to see Andrew Rappleya turn in a massive year in terms of receiving yards and touchdowns, but it will be fair to expect to see him be a consistent factor in the offensive game plan. At the end of the season, Rappleyea should be among the top-five receivers on the roster, and he may have a shot at being the team's leading tight end as the season goes on.Penn State Top 25 Players in 2026Previous: OL Anthony DonkohKevin McGuire is the lead writer for Nittany Lions Wire, part of the USA TODAY Network.

A few untamed Broncos emerged during Denver's practice on Tuesday.Practice fights aren't out of the ordinary during NFL training camp, as emotions run high during sweltering weather. It is rare, though, to see a quarterback at the center of it all.Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix was reportedly at the center of a training camp fight on Tuesday, after the passer pulled the leg of a teammate during a scuffle.Per reports, Nix was sacked and taken down to the ground earlier in practice, leading to the passer throwing the ball out of anger. A few plays later, several offensive and defensive linemen converged and began to brawl, when Nix would then pull pass rusher Nik Bonitto off the pile by his leg, according to reporters at the practice.Bonitto would have to be held back by teammates after he was pulled off. Offensive lineman Calvin Throckmorton had to leave practice after he was bleeding from the head.After practice, the quarterback was pretty welcoming of the scrum."I love it, it's football," Nix told reporters. "It's getting me ready for the games coming up. It's a physical practice out there played by physical people. It got intense, and we were just really enjoying it. Sometimes during the dog days of summer, practice gets long and the intensity runs high."It's crucial for Nix to avoid hitting the turf at all during practice. While the passer has been cleared to play following an ankle surgery that derailed Denver's Super Bowl chances, they'll need him healthy to continue to work through the upcoming season to reach the AFC championship game again.This article originally appeared on USA TODAY: Broncos' Bo Nix at center of training camp fight: 'I love it'

Unlike players who are drafted in the first few rounds, a sixth-round draft pick like Houston Texans wide receiver Lewis Bond has to fight to stay on the roster.There's plenty of time left in the preseason, but Bond seems to have already secured his roster spot with how well he has done in training camp so far.Bond did not do much in Houston's preseason opener against the Los Angeles Chargers. Still, he will have more opportunities in the teams games against the Las Vegas Raiders and the Carolina Panthers before the regular season starts.One factor that helps is having a veteran wide receiver mentor you, as Xavier Hutchinson has done.Xavier Hutchinson on Lewis Bond:Lewis is a great player. Far beyond anything that Ive seen as a rookie receiver coming in. He has a chip on his shoulder, hes hungry, but he also knows what the job at task is. For him having that understanding this early on its huge & it pic.twitter.com/1etr99Wp94 Houston Stressans (@TexansCommenter) August 18, 2026I love Lewis. We always joke around, Hutchinson said.When we were finishing up OTAs, he stayed at my house for like four days after everything. So really just getting that time with him and really just telling him where I fell short in my rookie year, or some of the things that I felt like I could have done better at. Just kind of sharing those vulnerable moments that I had my rookie year and trying to pass along to him to where my door's always open for him and I'll always be there for him. Lewis is a great player. Hes far beyond anything that I've seen as a rookie receiver coming in. He has a chip on his shoulder, he's hungry, but he also knows what the job at task is. I think for him, having that understanding this early on is huge and it'll play a factor for him this year and the following years, as long as he's playing football.Hutchinson can relate to Bond.As a fellow sixth-rounder back in 2023, the Iowa State standout had to fight to get on the roster. His best season statistically came last year with 428 receiving yards.He also had three touchdowns despite not having any touchdowns in his first two seasons.Bond and Hutchinson are part of Houstons deep receiver room that includes Nico Collins, Jayden Higgins, Jaylin Noel and Tank Dell, who is returning from his horrific injury back in 2024.While they both will make the roster, they will have to continue fighting to see significant playing time this season.This article originally appeared on Texans Wire: Texans WR Xavier Hutchinson on Lewis Bond: 'He's far beyond a rookie receiver'

As we get ready for the 2026 fantasy football season, there's no better way to prepare than doing mock drafts. And while live mock drafts will give us a great idea of how things might shake out, sometimes they're hit or miss and can be time consuming. Fortunately, Yahoo is offering its Instant Mock Draft tool again this season, available with your Fantasy Plus subscription.If you're new to the instant mock tool, here are some of the benefits:Draft immediately: That means no lobbies and no dropouts.Drafts tailored to your league: No more guessing if a mock draft from a generic 12-team league with standard scoring matches your custom setup. Draft against our algorithm, which mimics your league opponents.Test strategy: Simulate and try out different draft strategies from your exact draft slot. Find out which approach builds the strongest roster, then nail your live draft with real-time, on-the-clock recommendations.Subscribe to Fantasy Ultra to unlock our Strategy Lab, 150+ page Draft Playbook and more!In this series, I'll be performing an instant mock draft out of each pick slot for 12-team leagues with default half-PPR scoring. We've already mocked from the No. 1 spot now, we move to the second overall pick. Below is the full roster, plus key takeaways.Full RosterQB: Caleb Williams, CHIRB: Bijan Robinson, ATLRB: Quinshon Judkins, CLEWR: Chris Olave, NOWR: Malik Nabers, NYGTE: Mark Andrews, BALFLEX: Rome Odunze, CHIKicker: Jason Myers, JAXDefense: ChargersBench: Parker Washington, JAXBench: Blake Corum, LARBench: Isaiah Likely, NYGBench: KC Concepcion, CLEBench: Zach Charbonnet, SEABench: MarShawn Lloyd, GBJoin or create a Yahoo Fantasy Football league for the 2026 NFL seasonStrategyI went over this a bit in the first instant mock, but I'm not straying from Jahmyr Gibbs and Bijan Robinson at 1-2. Yahoo analyst Scott Pianowski has been preaching the same going into this season and has Robinson as one of his favorite targets for 2026. Justin Boone also prefers the No. 2 pick in the draft because you get your pick of Gibbs or Bijan in most cases. I agree with both those sentiments; drafting in the 1 or 2 slot at least makes your initial decision pretty easy, so you can focus more on what's to come in your draft. As for strategy, in the No. 1 mock we used more of a Hero RB approach and waited a bit at WR. This time around, we made a concerted effort to go WR in Rounds 2-3 (but also balanced things out a bit throughout). Running backs will likely fly off the board so I made it a priority to shore up my starters before the fifth/sixth round. You can check out some of our analysts favorite strategies for this season here. Rolling the Dice on Malik Nabers + More WR ThoughtsNabers has been the most talked about player in fantasy football this offseason. Right now, it's looking like he'll be OK for the start of the season. And even if Nabers were to miss the opener or a few games, I feel good enough about my WR room withstanding that early on. But with this pick, I get a player with first-round upside at a third-round price, which feels like a risky (but potentially rewarding move). When Nabers is healthy and on the field, he's one of the best WRs in the world. The Giants also don't have a ton of target competition and I trust the new coaching staff to make sure Nabers gets his. Joel Smyth breaks down Nabers' potential to bounce back and what history tells us. I love Olave as my WR1, especially after it looks like Jordyn Tyson will miss the start of the season with a hamstring injury. Though, you could argue it'll hurt the Saints offense overall. But given the type of game scripts New Orleans should be in (and the offense's pace of play), Olave should be a target hound all season. He's also coming off his best NFL campaign and is entering his prime years at age 26. Kellen Moore is an exciting young head coach and Tyler Shough is an exciting young QB sign me up. Hayden Winks talks a bit about Olave's stock moving up after Week 1 of the preseason here. I decided to roll with another QB-WR stack in this draft with Williams and Odunze. I'm a big Rome believer, same as my colleague Matt Harmon, who has Odunze as one of his "My Guys" in his Draft Day Blueprint, which you can check out here. Odunze feels like the perfect Year 3 post-hype sleeper in a great offensive environment. Plus, his draft cost is great at an ADP of 68.4. I had to reach a bit for him given my draft position, but don't be afraid to do that every so often, as Pianowski writes in his draft mistakes to avoid. Late-Round Tight EndI'm a big believer in the strategy and am also fine streaming the position in most cases during the season. But if I'm going to grab a TE late in my draft, I usually want some type of Plan B. In this case, we went with a TE approach that had multiple angles. Likely left for the Giants, leaving Andrews as the clear TE option in Baltimore. I like both situations a lot and both players given their ADPs. Likely also gives me insurance on Nabers; in the event the WR isn't ready for Week 1 or gets hurt again, I can see Likely being a top target for Giants QB Jaxson Dart this season. Boone highlights Likely as one of his breakout TE candidates for this season. As for Andrews, there's virtually no competition behind him on the Ravens' TE depth chart. Rookie Matthew Hibner is getting some hype but he's the only threat to Andrews' snaps/targets it seems. Andrews feels like that boring, overlooked veteran who goes on to finish as a top-12 TE this season (sort of like Dallas Goedert in 2025). Quick RB OverviewI like Judkins as an RB2 given his upside. The Browns aren't the best environment but I think Judkins' talent can win out; he's an explosive play waiting to happen when healthy.I like the idea of taking Charbonnet and stashing him in an injured reserve spot until he's healthy. That allows me to pick someone up off waivers after my draft. Plus, if Bijan and Judkins are great, I'm not worried much about RB the rest of the season. If something happens, Charb could be a solid RB2/3 option by the middle of the season. Lloyd and Corum are high-value backups who should have some role behind their RB1s, but have an easy path to fantasy relevance through injury. Final ThoughtsThe bench and TE position are a bit weak but I really like this build. I have enough insurance if something happens to Nabers and there's tons of upside with guys like Odunze, Caleb Williams, Parker Washington and Judkins.
