Allen won't play in Saturday's preseason game against Tampa Bay, Chris Brown of the Bills Radio Network reports. Allen will conclude the preseason without an appearance for the first time in his career, with the Bills prioritizing health over in-game reps ahead of a Week 1 home game against Baltimore. It's a tough matchup to open the season, but Allen's sterling track record of fantasy production outweighs any and all concerns about the opponent. He finished either first or second among QBs in fantasy points each of the past five seasons.
Jackson (foot) returned to practice Monday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports. The star QB left last Wednesday's practice early because a teammate stepped on his foot, and since then the team has downplayed the issue. Jackson's presence at Monday's practice should ease any lingering concerns on that front, though it's unclear if he'll be deemed a full participant Monday.
Burrow and other starters aren't scheduled to play in Saturday's preseason game against Indianapolis, Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports. Burrow played in the first two preseason game, leading Cincinnati's offense to four touchdowns (including three TD passes) on five drives. He'll play at Cleveland in Week 1, mostly surrounded by the same supporting cast as last season, plus TE Noah Fant and two new guards (Dylan Fairchild, Lucas Patrick) that are competing for starting jobs. The Bengals appear shootout-prone again, with minimal offseason upgrades on defense and star DE Trey Hendrickson (contract) missing all of training camp.
Hurts didn't play in Friday's 19-17 preseason win over the Jets. Hurts didn't play in the preseason as the Eagles used the exhibition slate to evaluate their backup quarterback options after trading away Kenny Pickett in the offseason. Hurts didn't need the reps after leading Philadelphia to a Super Bowl title last season, but he'll be ready to go for the start of regular-season play against the Cowboys on Thursday, Sept. 4. He's being drafted as a consensus top-five fantasy quarterback in most formats after averaging 20 passing touchdowns and 13 rushing TDs over the past four regular seasons.
Daniels and most other starters won't play in Saturday's preseason game against Baltimore, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports. There's a list of 33 players that won't take part Saturday, including Daniels, Marcus Mariota, Austin Ekeler, Jacory Croskey-Merritt, Terry McLaurin (contract), Deebo Samuel, Noah Brown (undisclosed), Jaylin Lane, Zach Ertz and John Bates. The next time we see most of them will be a Week 1 home game against the Giants.
