Purdy completed 25 of 34 passes for 205 yards with three touchdowns and one interception while adding five rushes for 29 yards during the 49ers' 27-7 Week 1 win over the Rams in Melbourne, Australia.

After an offseason in which the Rams' fearsome pass rush garnered plenty of headlines, Purdy navigated the season-opening matchup against his talented NFC West rival in nearly flawless fashion. The fifth-year signal-caller got off to a fast start with new No. 1 receiver Mike Evans, connecting with him on three occasions for 22 yards during a 15-play opening drive that culminated in a field goal. Purdy went on to hit Evans for a contested two-yard scoring strike early in the third quarter, and he sandwiched impressive touchdown tosses to Demarcus Robinson and Deebo Samuel of 39 and 15 yards, respectively, around that play. Purdy's early second-quarter interception on a pass intended for George Kittle did lead to the Rams' only touchdown, but as the final numbers indicate, the veteran quarterback did more than enough to atone. Purdy should have a strong chance of carrying over the season-opening momentum into Week 2, as a home date with what's expected to be a vulnerable Dolphins defense awaits on Sunday, Sept. 20.

Barkley carried 15 times for 83 yards and caught one of two targets for minus-3 yards in Sunday's 24-22 victory against Washington.

The highlight of Barkley's performance was easily his 42-yard, tackle-breaking scamper midway through the second quarter. Beyond that, the star running back was mostly contained on the ground, recording just 41 yards on his other 14 totes. Barkley also was a non-factor in the passing game, hauling in just one pass for a three-yard loss. That may be a particularly concerning stat for Barkley's fantasy managers considering his dwindling usage as a pass catcher at the end of last season -- over his final five regular-season games, Barkley caught just two of nine targets for a meager 14 yards and was shut out entirely through the air in four of those contests. Barkley does have a favorable Week 2 matchup, as he'll face a Tennessee team that often looked inept in a Week 1 loss to the Jets.

Barkley didn't see any action during the Eagles' three-game preseason slate.

At this point in his standout career, Barkley doesn't require exhibition reps to be his usual self once the games begin to count, so it's understandable that coach Nick Sirianni opted to rest Philadelphia's No. 1 RB and other key starters. After reeling off 2,005 rushing yards in 2024 and winning a Super Bowl, Barkley took a step back last season, but he still notched 1,413 yards from scrimmage and nine total TDs on 317 touches in 16 regular-season games. Sirianni has passed off play-calling duties to new offensive coordinator Sean Mannion, so it remains to be seen how effective Barkley will be in the new scheme.

Wilson secured five of seven targets for 56 yards in the Cardinals' 26-14 win over the Chargers on Sunday.

Wilson saw No. 3 receiver Kendrick Bourne outpace him by three catches, 19 receiving yards and one target, an interesting development to at least keep in mind in the early portion of the season. However, Wilson still enjoyed a solid role that saw him record four more catches on four additional targets than No. 1 wideout Marvin Harrison, and there's no questioning Wilson's chemistry with Jacoby Brissett after the duo generated multiple fantasy-friendly stat lines last season. Wilson therefore retains plenty of fantasy viability despite a tough Week 2 home matchup against the Seahawks next Sunday.

The Cardinals signed Wilson to a three-year, $75 million contract extension Thursday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

The sides squeezed this deal in before the start of the regular season, as Wilson had been set to enter the final year of his rookie deal. Selected in the third round of the 2023 Draft, Wilson had a true breakout season in 2025, as he operated as the Cardinals' WR1 most weeks while Marvin Harrison battled injuries throughout the campaign. Wilson responded with three 100-yard receiving games over the final eight weeks of the season and finished the year with 78 catches for 1,006 yards and seven touchdowns. Six of his seven scores came in the final five contests. Harrison is back healthy this season, but Wilson figures to remain a prominent piece of a passing offense that also includes All-Pro tight end Trey McBride.

The Cardinals have made attempts to figure out a contract extension with Wilson ahead of the 2026 campaign, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reports.

A 2023 third-round pick of Arizona, Wilson wasn't able to tap into his full potential until his third season in 2025, but once QB Jacoby Brissett took over the offense Week 6, the wide receiver was off and running thereafter, posting a 70-954-6 line on 108 targets over the final 12 contests. The run included three 100-yard receiving games and at least one touchdown grab in each of the final five weeks. Entering the final year of his rookie contract, his situation is pending, and whether it gets decided before Week 1 or next offseason remains to be seen.

Brissett completed 27 of 37 passes for 277 yards with a touchdown and no interceptions while rushing six times for 14 yards in the Cardinals' 26-14 win over the Chargers on Sunday.

Brissett helped the Cardinals set an immediate tone for a potential upset on the team's first drive of the season, when he led Arizona on an 11-play, 70-yard march that culminated with Jeremiyah Love's five-yard touchdown run. The veteran signal-caller proceeded to put together a performance highly reminiscent of several of his 2025 starts that earned him an extension this summer and the starting role to open the new campaign. Brissett connected with Trey McBride for his one touchdown pass from three yards out early in the fourth quarter, and his afternoon also included a 27-yard connection with McBride and a picturesque 33-yard rainbow down the left sideline to Marvin Harrison that was dropped in perfectly. Brissett will look to build on the stellar effort in a tough Week 2 home matchup against the defending champion Seahawks next Sunday.

Brissett is listed with the first-team offense on the Cardinals' unofficial depth chart.

After Arizona released Kyler Murray in March, the team signed Gardner Minshew in free agency and then rounded out the QB room by drafting Carson Beck (ribs) in the third round of the 2026 Draft. Despite those notable additions, Brissett was expected to be the starter, and as a result he held a hold-in during the offseason program and at the starting training camp before agreeing to a revised contract with the team on July 26. Brissett made a cameo in preseason Week 1 versus the Raiders, completing all five of his passes for 44 yards and a touchdown strike to Marvin Harrison. Considering he'll have TE Trey McBride, WRs Harrison and Michael Wilson and RBs Jeremiyah Love (ankle) and Tyler Allgeier at his disposal, Brissett very well may produce like he did during his 12-game starting stint to end last season. Whether that'll be enough for Brissett to hold on to the No. 1 gig throughout the campaign is up in the air, especially with Beck waiting in the wings.

Little went 2-for-2 on field-goal attempts and made all four of his PATs in Sunday's 34-10 win over the Browns.

After finishing as fantasy's K5 overall last regular season, Little picked up right where he left off in Week 1 against Cleveland. His field-goal makes came from 47 and 40 yards Sunday, and he's now 31-for-37 on field goals from 40-plus yards out across 35 career regular-season contests. The big-legged Little is an every-week K1 in this Jacksonville offense.

Addison failed to record a catch on two targets in Sunday's 39-22 win over the Packers.

Addison provided one of the highlights of the day during the Vikings' final training camp practice Aug. 26, connecting with quarterback Kyler Murray on a toe-dragging, sideline catch, Andrew Krammer of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

Kittle brought in two of five targets for 12 yards during the 49ers' 27-7 Week 1 win over the Rams in Melbourne, Australia.

Kittle (Achilles) isn't listed on the 49ers' injury report ahead of Thursday's contest against the Rams, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Kittle (Achilles) remained limited in Wednesday's practice, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
