Fantasy Football 2026: Training Camp Updates

As training camps advance, the dynamics of fantasy football rosters are becoming clearer. Players are either enhancing their value or facing declines due to performance and injuries.

Ricky Pearsall, a former first-round pick, has been sidelined for the entire 2026 season due to an LCL injury, raising concerns about his future in fantasy leagues. Since being drafted in 2024, he has played only 20 games but showed promise with a 75.3 PFF receiving grade in 2025.

In Cleveland, a competition is underway for the starting quarterback position between Deshaun Watson and Sanders, with Sanders currently leading after Watson's inconsistent performances in camp. Sanders, who struggled last season, may become a viable option for fantasy managers looking for depth.

Additionally, tight end Elijah Arroyo has made a strong impression in camp, potentially impacting the target distribution for fellow tight end Barner. Meanwhile, the Jaguars' running back Tuten is emerging as a key player, showcasing his ability to make significant plays during practices.
