Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones Sr. is entering his 10th season in the NFL and will remain with the Vikings after restructuring his contract in March. The 31-year-old will be splitting snaps with Jordan Mason for a second season, as they were listed as co-starters on the team's unofficial depth chart. Jones is expected to be the primary back on passing downs while Mason will be the lead back on early downs. The team deployed a similar plan last year with the two backs, and Jones finished as the RB41 overall in PPR leagues while averaging 9.9 points per game. RotoBaller has the former fantasy star ranked as the RB44 in full PPR formats and should be viewed as a low-end RB4 with limited upside in redraft leagues.

New Orleans Saints running back Devin Neal (hamstring) recently saw a slight bump in his fantasy value after fellow running back Alvin Kamara suffered a sprained MCL in his right knee during a joint practice with the Dallas Cowboys early last week. However, Neal is battling his own hamstring injury, which he aggravated in the first quarter of yesterday's preseason game against the Los Angeles Rams. The 23-year-old has been dealing with a hamstring issue over the last two weeks, despite returning to practice last week. With Kamara sidelined, Neal has a chance to compete with Kendre Miller (back) for the No. 2 running back spot behind Travis Etienne Jr. for the rest of training camp and preseason. However, it would take an injury to Etienne and Kamara for Neal to have fantasy value during the regular season, and he should remain off fantasy radars during drafts.

ESPN's Nick Wagoner reports San Francisco 49ers wideout Mike Evans (ankle) participated in much of practice on Sunday, but did not go all the way through it and stopped participating near the end. Wagoner noted that Evans was "moving fine," and connected with quarterback Brock Purdy for a big gain during practice. However, Evans and the 49ers want to be cautious to get him ready for Week 1 against division rival Los Angeles Rams in Melbourne, Australia. Evans had some tightness in his quad earlier this week and had his left foot/ankle wrapped and iced. The 33-year-old is expected to be the No. 1 receiver in the offense this year and will have a big role in the passing game, especially in the red zone. If Evans can play a full 17-game season, he will have an opportunity to lead the league in receiving touchdowns in 2026.

Updating a previous report, San Francisco 49ers rookie second-round wide receiver De'Zhaun Stribling (shoulder) returned to training camp practice on Sunday after he missed Saturday's session with a shoulder injury, according to ESPN's Nick Wagoner. Stribling was seen wearing a no-contact jersey in his return. The 23-year-old from Ole Miss is considered day-to-day for now after suiting up for Thursday's 41-17 win in the preseason over the Los Angeles Chargers. He has been standing out in practices and in two preseason games, catching 11 of his 13 targets for 109 yards. Stribling should have a key role in San Fran's passing game right away in 2026 after the Niners learned that Ricky Pearsall (knee) would miss the entire season with recurring PCL issues. The team added veteran Deebo Samuel Sr. to the fold, but Stribling has looked the part all summer and is worth a late-round flier in all single-year fantasy football leagues. He is currently ranked as RotoBaller's No. 51 fantasy WR for 2026. Barring a setback with his shoulder, Stribling should be fine for Week 1 of the regular season in Australia versus the division-rival Los Angeles Rams.
