Key Points:
- Baltimore Ravens rookie Ja’Kobi Lane is expected to secure the third wide receiver spot in 11 personnel sets this season, while Elijah Sarratt is lower on the depth chart and may see limited playing time.
- Washington Commanders’ Luke McCaffrey faces roster uncertainty as he is active despite many wide receivers being inactive, suggesting limited playing time and a precarious roster spot.
- Atlanta Falcons’ tight end Kyle Pitts showed reduced snap counts in preseason, indicating a potential decrease in his role due to new additions Austin Hooper and Charlie Woerner, which may impact his fantasy value.
- New York Giants running back Najee Harris made his debut post-injury and is expected to have a significant role, potentially pushing down other backs on the depth chart.
- Kansas City Chiefs’ Emmett Johnson appears to have taken the lead for the backup running back role behind Kenneth Walker, with Rashee Rice and Xavier Worthy making their preseason debuts and showing healthy status but possible changes in snap alignment.
