We had our first full wave of NFL preseason games for the 2026 season on Thursday night, and this week has been riddled with news, including injuries and a certain QB being named the starter on his new squad. Below we're going to go over all the most important news coming out of camp and preseason from this week that you need to know for fantasy football.

We also saw WR Chris Brazzell's rookie season cut way short for the Panthers. This week, we haven't seen many "big" injuries but there was enough to note if you're drafting early. Here's a quick overview: Puka Nacua, LAR (groin)Emeka Egbuka, TB (toe)Luther Burden III, CHI (groin)Jordyn Tyson, NO (hamstring)Chuba Hubbard, CAR (hamstring) week-to-weekAll the five players listed above aren't expected to miss Week 1, per reports and their coaches. Nacua and Egbuka's injuries are considered "minor. The only one that could be super impactful appears to be Hubbard. The Panthers RB missed time last season due to a hamstring injury and Jonathon Brooks is healthy and already breathing down the veteran's neck. Brooks will be a big mover in terms of ADP over the next few weeks while Hubbard remains out. There was already plenty of analysts who considered Brooks the better option over Hubbard going into this season. Head here for the full injury tracker for training camp and preseason. Week 1 preseason recap from Hayden WinksLast night, we got our first big taste of the preseason with 12 teams in action. We got a nice glimpse into what the Raiders offense may look like under Klint Kubiak, as well as the Chargers and Cardinals new-look systems. If you're looking for some takeaways for fantasy football, Yahoo analyst Hayden Winks has a full recap of the action right here. Kyler Murray named starting QB for VikingsIt was surprising it took this long for Kevin O'Connell to name Murray the starter over J.J. McCarthy. But that's the deal, like we all thought after the team signed Murray. Any improvement at QB over last season will be good for the offense overall. We know Murray likes to use his legs, so he's a trendy late-round QB option in re-draft formats. You can see where our analysts rank Murray for 2026 here. Join or create a Yahoo Fantasy Football league for the 2026 NFL seasonShould you buy stock in the Chargers? Mike McDaniel thinks soSo does Yahoo analyst Scott Pianowski. Los Angeles should be one of the more exciting offenses in the NFL for 2026. From Justin Herbert to Ladd McConkey and Omarion Hampton, the Chargers have plenty of appealing fantasy football options. It should be a bounce-back season all-around if the offensive line can hold up. Read more about the Chargers' new offense and McDaniel from Yahoo's Jori Epstein here. Panthers sign Darren Waller to dealFor a while, it looked like Waller was going to enter the 2026 season without a team. But Carolina scooped him up to add some depth at receiver and another red-zone target. Remember, last season the Dolphins brought Waller out of retirement, shaking up plenty of fantasy football matchups from late September to late December. Waller would score four times in his first three games in Miami, adding two more scores later in the season versus the Steelers. Tommy Tremble, Mitchell Evans and Ja'Tavion Sanders are the other tight ends on the roster, but none were on anyone's fantasy radar. Waller may not be a target on draft day but he's not a bad last-ditch TE option. If anything, keep an eye out for him as a waiver wire pickup early in the season if he's back to scoring touchdowns.

JaKobi Lanes highlight catches have raised expectations, and the Ravens preseason opener offers his first chance to deliver in a game. Lane has been one of the Ravens most visible young players throughout training camp. The rookie wide receiver has produced a steady collection of difficult catches, drawn praise from teammates and coaches and created legitimate excitement about what he could add to Baltimores offense.The preseason provides Lane with his first opportunity to prove that his summer production can translate beyond the practice field.Training camp success has put Lane in the conversation for a role behind Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman, but preseason games introduce a different test. Lane must handle unfamiliar coverage looks, maintain his timing with Baltimores quarterbacks and show he can execute assignments without coaches standing nearby to correct mistakes between repetitions.His size and catch radius have already distinguished him in a crowded receiver room. Lane has demonstrated the ability to win in contested situations and make catches outside his frame, qualities that could eventually make him a valuable target in the red zone and on third down. The next step is to show that those flashes are repeatable when defenders are allowed to play with greater physicality.More @cantGuardJak1 ! pic.twitter.com/nyRiPqeIUA Baltimore Ravens (@Ravens) August 12, 2026Lanes performance will not be judged solely by his receiving totals. His blocking, route precision, alignment and work on special teams could be equally important as the Ravens determine which reserve receivers can contribute on game days.One preseason performance will not decide Lanes role, but it can strengthen the case he has built throughout camp. After generating considerable hype with his practice-field highlights, Lane finally has an opportunity to show the Ravens and their fans what those flashes could look like under game conditions.This article originally appeared on Ravens Wire: JaKobi Lane gets 1st opportunity to validate Ravens training camp hype

Belgium midfielder Arne Engels is having a medical pending a transfer to West Ham United, Celtic manager Martin O'Neill has confirmed.The Scottish champions rejected a multi-million pound offer from Nottingham Forest for the 22-year-old in the winter transfer window and Engels was keen for a move to English football.O'Neill had hoped to retain Engels until after their Champions League play-off against LASK, with the first leg next Wednesday.But the Celtic manager said: "West Ham wanted him to be available for the opening day of the season.Hassan outlines Champions League ambitionHammers & Boro to go up? Championship club-by-club previewCeltic perseverance pays off as midfielder Baur signs"I would imagine that he's probably at this minute doing the medical. Naturally disappointed, really, that he's leaving the football club, he's done very well for us."And it's hard to dissuade him of that. If it hadn't come up, I think he'd have been happy. Even though the offer came in very late from Nottingham Forest in January, he never moaned about it at all."So it's an opportunity for him and it's really hard for him to turn it down."O'Neill understood why Engels was keen to complete the transfer, especially after Canada right-back Alistair Johnston suffered a leg muscle injury amid interest from Everton."Ideally, I'd love him to have stayed and maybe completed after the two games," the 74-year-old, who is fully back to work after a medical procedure last week, said."It probably wasn't going to happen. You've got a concern, I suppose, with the fact that Alistair played for us when there was an offer on the table, hurt himself, maybe things like that there may disappear."I suppose Arne was probably worried the same sort of thing might happen. From a playing viewpoint, I probably can understand that."Johnston went off at half-time in Celtic's 5-1 win at Kilmarnock on Sunday."He'll be out for a few weeks," O'Neill said. "By the time he's fit, he'll be past the transfer deadline. He's been very stoic about it, really."It's a shame for him, but it's not long-term. It's something that he'll get over and he'll be back."Celtic signed Egypt winger Haissem Hassan and Germany Under-21 midfielder Mika Baur this week and O'Neill expects further arrivals.One could be Chelsea left-back Landon Emenalo as a loan back-up to Kieran Tierney after the 18-year-old was given a tour of Celtic's Lennoxtown training centre this week."I think he's a really fine young player," O'Neill added. "Obviously we need that position covered. Kieran did exceptionally well last season, having been plagued with injuries at Arsenal. He came roaring back, which was great."And this young man has definitely got talent. He's got a bit of an injury at the moment. We're hoping that that will clear up shortly. And, if it does, and I think it will, I'd love to have him."Visit our Celtic page for all the latest news, analysis and fan viewsGet Celtic news notifications in the BBC Sport app

Carl Hester won his fourth Olympic medal in Paris two years ago [PA Media]Carl Hester hopes to set a new record by representing Team GB at an eighth Olympic Games.The dressage rider helped Great Britain win silver at the FEI World Championships earlier this week, qualifying them for Los Angeles 2028.Hester, 59, helped win team dressage gold at London 2012, before adding team silver four years later and bronze medals at the last two Olympics.He first competed at the Barcelona Games in 1992 and since then has only missed out in 1996 and 2008."To hold a record like that would be something I would be incredibly proud of," said Hester, who jointly holds the British record of seven Games appearances with show-jumper Nick Skelton."You can't imagine how all these preparations fall into place, the fact that I had a horse at each of the Olympics in the past that was capable to go, so I have to be incredibly grateful to all of the owners of these horses that have helped me keep prepared for every Olympic Games."He continued: "I have a nine-year-old which would be considered young for the Olympics, so he'll be 11 obviously in two years time, and he should be at the top of his game."Whether he will be good enough to go I can't be sure, but to go to an eighth Olympics then, you really would be able to think about a happy retirement after that, wouldn't you?"I'm not saying I'm going to because I get caught out every time I say that, but it would be a wonderful way (to end) if my career could get that far."Carl Hester won bronze at the last Olympic Games alongside Charlotte Fry (left) and Becky Moody [PA Media]Hester, from the tiny Channel Island of Sark, says he appreciates how tough selection will be for the 2028 Games as there are many obstacles ahead and much hard work to be done. "The older you get the more expectations are put on you," he told BBC Guernsey."We have actually been successful at the last four Olympic Games winning medals, so that's really important that continues because we get funding through the lottery - and the more successful we are obviously the more funds that are available for us all to use for our preparations to get better."We can't guarantee who's going to be on the team because obviously we're (each) working with a horse and your horse has to be completely sound and ready."Probably one month to five weeks before the Games, that's when they do the final selection because you have to make sure that the horse is fit, (and) you're fit."There are only three riders selected for the team to go to LA, that's a very small amount. "There's obviously a huge pool of riders in the United Kingdom that would love to be on that team, so there's a lot of combinations that you have to beat, it's not just a question of being selected because you've been to seven others."

FILE PHOTO - World Athletic President Sebastian Coe reacts during a press conference. Sven Hoppe/dpaWorld Athletics president Sebastian Coe has played down fears low crowds at the European Athletics Championships in Birmingham could mar Londons bid to host the 2029 World Championships.Birmingham is the first UK host in 92 years of European Championships history, but early-week crowds at the 23,000-capacity Alexander Stadium were as low as 12,844.London, who hosted the World Championships in 2017, is competing with Rome, Nairobi and Munich, and will learn their fate after the World Athletics Council meets on September 15.Asked if pictures of empty seats in Birmingham might influence panel members looking at Londons presentation, Lord Coe said: Look, its horses for courses. We had London (Olympics) in 2012, London in 2017, London will point to having sold out Diamond League five months before the event took place. So I think it was a challenge. Its always a challenge starting a championship on a Monday morning.I think back to 2017, we started on a Friday night and we had the advantage of Mo Farah being the centrepiece, so I always sensed this was going to be but local circumstances, middle of the summer, pretty hot out there, not a lot of covering in the stadium, I think there will be a whole series of things.But Im guessing, I mean, last night (when 20,082 spectators watched Amy Hunt win 200-metre gold) felt a pretty buzzing championships, and my gut instinct Im a bit distant from the ticketing strategy here, its obviously not our event, but I dont know.The British bid was boosted after an agreement was reached last week with West Ham over use of the London Stadium.Two of the prospective hosts gave presentations on Thursday, and the other half on Friday. The evaluation panel will then present their recommendation to the council, who may or may not agree.They either accept it or they dont, said Coe, who as the presiding officer does not have a vote. And if they dont, then you open up the process. You dont simply say, Well it goes to (this city), youll have the next one.Its a pretty coherent (process), and it takes the beauty parade element out of it, but it still gives the council the opportunity to properly interrogate beyond the work of the evaluation.The successful 2029 bidder will also hand out the final marathon world gold medals before the marathon world championships become standalone from 2031.London is staging a one-off two-day London Marathon in 2027, which received a record-breaking 1,338,544 entries for 100,000 places.Asked about the London double, Coe, who added marathon and running are a huge part of World Athletics marketplace, said: Again, its very much horses for courses. London can probably support that.

Under-fire FIFA president Gianni Infantino has taken the governing body to a whole new level which has left his critics jealous, according to Andrew Giuliani, who was executive director for the White House Task Force on the 2026 World Cup.New Zealands football federation became the latest organization to withdraw its support for the Infantinos re-election next year as he continues to lose global support over his aborted plan to sell off a stake in the World Cup to private investors.European governing body UEFA, the North and Central American confederation CONCACAF and the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) had already made it clear Infantino had lost their confidence, while a number of individual associations including England, Wales and the Republic of Ireland have also confirmed they will not back the president.The Confederation of African Football (CAF) and South American governing body CONMEBOL have, though, both endorsed Infantino to win a fourth presidential term at the FIFA Congress in March.US President Donald Trump, meanwhile, has warned FIFA would be making a terrible mistake if it got rid of Infantino.Giuliani son of former New York City mayor and Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani claimed anyone who wanted Infantino removed needs to get their head examined.Its politics. Ive seen this before. Ive seen it before when theyve targeted President Trump from a political perspective. Ive seen it before when theyve targeted other people, Giuliani told The Athletic.People are jealous when people are very high achievers and what Gianni Infantino has done for FIFA is hes taken them to a whole new level that probably they didnt think was possible.Youve got to remember, this is the first World Cup that Gianni Infantino was president for landing, right? He inherited the Russia and Qatar World Cups, and did a good job with those, but this is the first one. Its his vision on this.What Ill tell you is that for any soccer confederation or football federation president who is thinking about not voting for Gianni Infantino, it would probably be one of the most foolish decisions of your professional life.This guy literally just put on the largest global sporting event ever without any incident, making over four times the revenue of the last World Cup, and youre thinking of ousting him.If Gianni Infantino doesnt get re-elected unanimously, then whoever voted against him needs to get their head examined.Infantino apologized for his proposal to create FIFA Forward Enterprise (FFE), a company to run the commercial and operational aspects of FIFAs tournaments, with an idea to sell off around 20% to private investors including a company headed by Joshua Kushner, the brother of Trumps son-in-law Jared Kushner.The proposal was scrapped and Giuliani added: Look, we are all human beings, and I think its one of those things where sport has become monetised and commercialised.I would just say that you have got to look at Giannis full body of work and to also realize that hes always trying to improve his organisation, and I think thats the thing.Just because youre always trying to improve doesnt mean that youre not going to take a misstep here or there, right? As a human being, it happens, but I would look at the body of work and say this is the guy I would want leading.

TimesofIndia.com in Galle: In times when variation, mystery and darts have become the survival norm, Manav Suthar is a throwback to an era gone by. The beats and drops of techno music have captured the imagination around the world, but Suthar continues to be the classic which never gets old - come for the tone, enjoy the verse and stay for the ending. The ease with which he stands on top of the bowling mark, the grace with which he approaches the crease and the effortless magic of his wrist make him a rare breed.'Kalai mai jaadu hai, alag ball chalta hai iske haath se (He has magic in his wrists. The ball spins viciously from his hand),' has been the unanimous observation of those who have seen him climb up the ladder in the last few years. Selectors were convinced at first sight, and since then his progression has been gradual, aiming not only to prepare for life after Ravindra Jadeja but also to secure an all-weather finger spinner.As someone who made the great Bishan Singh Bedi take note of his classical left-arm spin, Maninder Singh's eyes light up when he talks about Suthar and his craft. It is as if the former India cricketer is playing his own visuals in the backdrop while explaining the nuances of left-arm spin and the attributes which set the youngster apart."The first thing I notice in a spinner is how the ball comes out of the hand, and in his case, it comes out beautifully. His seam position is excellent. As they say, the seam should point towards first or second slip, and that's exactly what I saw. I watched him in the Test match [vs Afghanistan] and even in a couple of IPL games. I don't think he completed his full quota of overs in those matches, but even then I felt he was a delight to watch. BCCI (@BCCI) "He has a beautiful future ahead. I believe he is going to play for India for a long time because I have not seen a classical left-arm spinner like him in a very long time," explains Maninder, one of the finest of his era."His run-up is simple, his action is simple, and the release of the ball from his hand is beautiful. When a spinner releases the ball like that, it tells you he has put in countless hours in the nets. That hard work builds character, and you can see it when he bowls in a match," he adds.'Revs on the ball' was a phrase which went out of currency with the advent of shorter formats and tweakers opting for darts over craft. Suthar, however, came as a breath of fresh air, reintroducing guile, deception and beating the batter in the air. Right from his domestic cricket days through the subsequent India A fixtures, close-in fielders have always been impressed by the sound the ball makes when it leaves Suthar's hand. The poetry isn't interrupted by a late jerk or twitch, and it all just flows like a smooth brush stroke on a canvas."I have heard from fielders standing at silly point and short leg that they can actually hear the sound when the ball leaves his hand. That comes from the revolutions he imparts on the ball. When I say the ball comes beautifully out of his hand, it is because of those revolutions. His run-up, action and release all come together perfectly," Maninder further explains.Not just in India, the 'revs on the ball' also made a lot of noise in England, where Suthar joined Warwickshire to get a taste of County cricket and bowl with a different cricket ball. Head coach Ian Westwood was very pleased with his signing. Even though Suthar played just two games, they can't wait to have him back for more fixtures."He has all the ingredients to succeed in a competitive set-up like India's. The ball leaves very nicely from his hand, and the revolutions he imparts make him the kind of spinner who will succeed in every condition. He is a very smart operator. We only had him for a couple of games but he was well liked within the group," says Westwood. AhmadRana056 (@AhmadRana056) Days after making his Test debut against Afghanistan, Suthar boarded the long flight and turned up for the fixture against Yorkshire. The turnaround time between the two games was just three days, but it did not affect how he operated in the middle. The game against Afghanistan ended in Mullanpur on June 8, and Suthar took the field for Warwickshire in Scarborough on June 12."I remember the turnaround time between his international assignment and County game was very short, but he arrived ready and made an impact. Apart from his bowling, Suthar made useful contributions lower down the order, which makes him an asset for any side. Bowling in England, with different conditions and a different ball helps a spinner's overall development and will hold him in good stead for his international assignments," adds Westwood.The coaches who have worked closely with Suthar at the BCCI Centre of Excellence (CoE) have been very appreciative of his work ethic ever since VVS Laxman had asked a former cricketer to groom the left-armer. After minute technical adjustments, such as shortening the delivery stride, he was ready for the 'A' challenge and responded emphatically.Preparation has always been a focus for the 24-year-old, with no compromise on volume. The coaches assert that this work ethic helps him seamlessly make the adjustments and be battle-ready whenever opportunity comes his way.Well before he left for Sri Lanka, Suthar visited the CoE to work on other finer nuances of spin bowling and returned with a pro tip. The wind in Galle can significantly affect how a spinner operates."Use the breeze to your advantage. Whatever angle you bowl from, make sure the ball finishes on the stumps. Learn to use the drift according to the wind," was the advice he received before packing for the island nation.Maninder further explains how the revs will help create drift, and if he can master that art and use the wind to his advantage, Suthar will remove the pitch from the equation and become a banker for the side in any conditions."Those revolutions create drift because the ball cuts through the air. That drift will always work to his advantage. As I said earlier, he is someone who can take wickets on any kind of surface. He doesn't need a turning pitch. Whether it is at home or overseas, he has the ability to pick up wickets. In the future, if India plays with only one spinner overseas, I believe he has the potential to become that bowler," says Maninder.Since arriving in Colombo in the first week of August, Suthar has looked very impressive in the net sessions, warm-up fixtures and the session in Galle. The magic in his wrist has even forced the think tank to consider fielding three spinners - even if all of them release from the hand.That's a rare instance in cricket, but so is Suthar. In a world of techno, he continues to make batters dance to classical tunes.
