Prescott completed 22 of 34 passes for 175 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 28-20 loss to the Giants. He also rushed twice for 14 yards.

Prescott connected with CeeDee Lamb for a one-yard touchdown in the second quarter and found Javonte Williams for a 17-yard touchdown in the fourth. Prescott's interception in the final minute of the first half proved costly, as the Giants scored a go-ahead touchdown six plays later and led the rest of the way. Lamb finished with just 44 yards and George Pickens had only 28, as Dallas' talented passing game was stuck in first gear. Prescott, who finished third in the league with 4,552 passing yards during the 2025 regular season, will try to pick up the pace in Dallas' Week 2 home opener against the Commanders.

Prescott didn't log any snaps during the Cowboys' three-game preseason schedule.

Prescott has had WR CeeDee Lamb to throw to since 2020, but the addition of George Pickens during the 2025 offseason helped the quarterback rack up the second-most passing yards in a season (4,552) of his 10-year career. Additionally, Prescott also tossed 30 TDs for the fourth time among his career-high 600 pass attempts. Dallas likely would like that latter number to come down in a more balanced offense, and a new defensive scheme under coordinator Christian Parker could mean Prescott and the offense are in catch-up mode less often. In any case, Prescott has a bonafide top receiving duo at his services, so another 4,000-yard campaign is entirely within the realm of possibilities in 2026

Brown rushed 16 times for 56 yards and a touchdown and brought in five of six targets for 22 yards in the Bengals' 33-27 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

As his final line indicates, Brown unsurprisingly found running room at a premium against the Buccaneers' typically stingy front. Nevertheless, head coach Zac Taylor stuck with the ground attack throughout the afternoon, and Brown, as expected, comfortably outpaced backfield mate Samaje Perine by 11 carries. The versatile back recorded his one touchdown from five yards out with just under six minutes remaining in the second quarter, and he finished tied for the team lead in receptions while also serving as co-runner-up in targets. Brown's busy afternoon should be the norm for him this season, and he'll look to grind out some tough yards again in a Week 2 road showdown against the Texans next Sunday.

Brown is looking forward to an elevated role in the Bengals offense in 2026, Landon Belote of SI.com reports.

In particular, Brown cited the scheme's efficiency while running the ball under center and also how much he's been lining up in the slot in the passing game during training camp. After earning just 58 touches as a fifth-round rookie in 2023, his usage increased to 283 touches in 2024 and 301 touches last season. In 17 regular-games in 2025, he matched or set career highs across the board, tallying 1,456 yards from scrimmage and 11 total TDs. Considering Brown was one of seven RBs with at least 50 receptions last year (69, to be exact), his stature in fantasy has never been higher.

Higgins brought in three of six targets for 59 yards in the Bengals' 33-27 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Higgins tied for second in receptions and targets while also serving as the runner-up in receiving yards for the Bengals on an afternoon in which Joe Burrow spread the ball around to nine different targets. The veteran wideout also had a team-high 29-yard reception on one of his three grabs, while his final one of the day went for 18 yards for a key first down on the Bengals' game-sealing drive. Much more productive days are surely in store for Cincinnati's air attack, and a Week 2 road matchup against the Texans next Sunday doesn't seem as daunting after Houston's defense was repeatedly victimized by the Bills in Week 1.

Higgins (heel) will play in Sunday's game against Tampa Bay after logging full practices Wednesday through Friday.

Ja'Marr Chase (knee) also is cleared to play, giving Joe Burrow plenty of firepower for the regular-season opener. Higgins seemed to stay healthy throughout spring and summer before missing a few practices with a heel contusion last week. He should be ready for his usual role come Sunday.

Higgins (heel) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

The Bengals look to have their dynamic receiver tandem in position to play in the opener as Higgins and Ja'Marr Chase (knee) both practiced in full to begin the week. Higgins was slowed by a heel contusion earlier in September but is tracking toward being ready to begin the season. The Bengals will host the Buccaneers to kick off 2026.

Maye completed 23 of 33 passes for 178 yards with one touchdown and three interceptions while rushing seven times for 47 yards in the Patriots' 13-10 loss to the Seahawks on Wednesday.

The third-year signal-caller carried out a conservative game plan with reasonable efficacy for three quarters before unraveling with a trio of fourth-quarter interceptions. Maye didn't throw a pass until the first play of New England's second possession, and he lost prized offseason addition A.J. Brown on the first series of the second half due to an ankle injury. The first two of Maye's interceptions led to Seattle's last 10 points of the night, and his final pick came on a poorly thrown lob into the end zone with 26 seconds remaining when it appeared New England was perfectly positioned for a game-tying field-goal attempt that would have forced overtime. Maye's three interceptions were a single-game career-high for the 2024 first-round pick, and it remains to be seen if he'll have Brown available for the Patriots' Week 2 home opener against the Steelers on Sunday, Sept. 20.

Shough completed 35 of 56 passes for 410 yards and three touchdowns with two interceptions in Sunday's 31-30 overtime loss to the Lions. He added eight yards on four carries and fumbled twice, losing one of them.

Shough drew positive reviews for his performance during the Saints' final practice of training camp Aug. 26, Grant Chachere of SI.com reports.

Watson caught six of eight targets for 147 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 39-22 loss to the Vikings.

Watson is one of six wide receivers on the Packers' initial 53-man roster, per Wes Hodkiewicz of the team's official site.

Samuel brought in six of seven targets for 48 yards and a touchdown, rushed once for 12 yards and returned two kickoffs for 74 yards during the 49ers' 27-7 Week 1 win over the Rams in Melbourne, Australia.
