76–100 of 1,373
Oren Burks will step in, and he can do an OK job in relief, but he's a clear downgrade from Dean.
The quartet of McCaffrey, Jennings, Deebo Samuel, and George Kittle will be enough for the 49ers to make a deep run into the playoffs
it's unclear how well Amarius Mims will play in his place
they were expected to lose to the Lions and beat the Cardinals even with him
The Bengals are still OK on the edge because they have Joseph Ossai ready to step into a full-time starting role
The Bills should be able to handle the Cardinals in Week 1 without Samuel
Second-round rookie Cam Smith will have to fill the void.
the Saints will be forced into starting a rookie and the anemic Trevor Penning at tackle
Pittsburgh will now have to go back to Jones because Fautanu is dealing with a knee injury.
Not having Campbell will make defeating the Texans extremely difficult, but this is a game Jacksonville is likely to lose anyway.
The other team is the Chiefs, and the Jaguars probably weren't going to win that game anyway.
Instead, Sam Darnold will be the starter
His replacement will be 2024 second-round pick Patrick Paul, who was woeful in four full games last year.
the Lions also have first-round rookie Tyleik Williams to start next to D.J. Reader
the Saints will be forced into starting a rookie and the anemic Trevor Penning at tackle. The rookie, Tallies Fuaga, may pan out
they were expected to lose to the Lions and beat the Cardinals even with him
even if the Jaguars get off to a bit of a slow start, they should still be able to win their weak division
I consider the Cardinals an underrated team that could potentially sneak into the playoffs in a weak NFC.
his injury will allow first-round rookie Olu Fashanu to start
he would immediately slot in as the WR3 and receive starter-level snaps
But if the Colts are looking for a wide receiver who can contribute right away, the answer is easy: Keenan Allen.
Stribling is the biggest winner of training camp so far... He could be in for a big role early into his rookie season.
He should be able to get on the field as the backup running back.
My money is on Warren as Pittsburgh's primary running back this year, and it's possible Dowdle has a smaller role than some expect.
you'd probably be better off with one of the receivers available in that range – players such as Christian Watson or Rome Odunze.
