Now, on to the news…

Michael Mayer (LV) – Signed a 3-year, $45M extension ($30M guaranteed), now the NFL's third highest-paid TE by AAV. With Brock Bowers (knee) out Week 1 vs. Miami, Mayer gets a bump in value, though his long-term role behind Bowers is unstable. (Ian Rapoport)

Tucker Kraft (GB) – Signed a 4-year, $75M extension (up to $92M), making him the NFL's highest-paid tight end. Healthy after last year's ACL tear, he's a surefire TE1 in a tough Week 1 spot vs. Minnesota. (Adam Schefter)

Malik Davis (DAL) – Headed for hip surgery and IR; his 2026 outlook is murky. Emari Demercado now sits behind starter Javonte Williams. (Todd Archer)

Malik Nabers (NYG) – Questionable Week 1 vs. Dallas as he weighs long-term health. The Giants elevating Braxton Berrios is reportedly unrelated to Nabers, but a second WR call-up would be a bad sign. (Dan Duggan)

Alvin Kamara (NO) – Cleared for Week 1 vs. Detroit after a full Friday practice, but isn't expected to have a "huge role." Travis Etienne should still lead the backfield and clean up near the goal line. (Nick Underhill)

Jakobi Meyers (JAX) – Off the injury report, playing Week 1 vs. Cleveland despite a limited week. Led Jacksonville in targets post-trade last year — treat as a FLEX. (Jacksonville Jaguars)

D'Andre Swift (CHI) – Signed a 3-year, $33.75M extension ($27.5M guaranteed) after a career year (1,087 yards, 9 TDs). Locked in as Chicago's starter with a plus matchup vs. Carolina. (Adam Schefter)

Alec Pierce (IND) – Off the injury report, playing Week 1 vs. Baltimore after offseason heel/ankle surgery, though snap count is still uncertain. Boom-bust FLEX with downfield upside. (Stephen Holder)

Jeremiyah Love (ARI) – Game-time decision Week 1 vs. the Chargers; coach Mike LaFleur says he's "trending well." Tyler Allgeier picks up extra work if Love is limited. (Darren Urban)

Cooper Rush (ATL) – Gets the Week 1 start vs. Pittsburgh with Tua Tagovailoa (oblique) and Michael Penix Jr. (knee) both banged up. Expect a downgrade across the board for Falcons pass-catchers. (Adam Schefter)

A.J. Brown (NE) – Placed on IR with his ankle injury, out until at least Week 6. Mack Hollins and Romeo Doubs should see expanded roles in the meantime. (Adam Schefter)

Parker Washington (JAX) – HC Liam Coen confirmed he'll "absolutely" open the season as the punt returner, though Travis Hunter could work into the role later. Solid WR2 coming off a 58-847-5 season. (Ryan O'Halloran)

That’s the news. Enjoy the first NFL Sunday of 2026!
