Brandon Aiyuk still on Reserve/Left Team list in 2026
Brandon Aiyuk, WR, is still on the San Francisco 49ers Reserve/Left Team list heading into the 2026 offseason. He does not count against the 49ers' 90-man roster or salary cap and is not being paid. Until he submits a reinstatement letter to Commissioner Roger Goodell, he cannot be traded or released, making him a complete fantasy non-factor for now.

49ers sign KhaDarel Hodge to bolster WR depth
San Francisco signed veteran WR KhaDarel Hodge and edge rusher Ogbo Okoronkwo to one-year contracts on August 5, 2026. Both moves address training camp injuries at their respective positions. Neither player carries meaningful fantasy value in standard or PPR formats.

Lions sign TE Nick Muse, release WR Tarik Black
Detroit signed TE Nick Muse, a 2022 seventh-round pick with minimal NFL production, as a depth addition behind Sam LaPorta. The Lions also released WR Tarik Black, who could not crack a receiver room led by Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams. Neither move changes anything for fantasy rosters.

Kenny McIntosh waived by Seattle Seahawks
The Seattle Seahawks have waived running back Kenny McIntosh, who tore his ACL in July 2025 and missed the entire Super Bowl LX-winning season. He carries no fantasy value. For Seattle backfield depth behind Kenneth Walker III and Zach Charbonnet, the names to track are first-round rookie Jadarian Price, George Holani, and Damien Martinez.

Gabe Jacas signs with Patriots, ends injury holdout
Gabe Jacas, edge rusher for the New England Patriots, signed his four-year rookie deal on the opening day of training camp, ending a holdout over injury guarantees. The delay stemmed from concerns about a hamstring issue, shoulder labral tear, foot stress fracture, and recent knee cleanup surgery. He is an IDP-only asset in fantasy, but his injury history and missed first practice create real uncertainty around early-season availability.

Damarri Mathis signed by Browns, recovering from ACL tear
The Cleveland Browns signed cornerback Damarri Mathis and waived rookie cornerback Dom Jones with a failed physical designation, per Adam Schefter. Mathis tore his ACL in practice with the Carolina Panthers in September 2025, so his timeline is uncertain. No impact in standard formats; IDP managers should add him to a watchlist but not expect near-term production.

49ers sign Jack Bouwmeester, Dinkins on NFI list
San Francisco signed undrafted punter Jack Bouwmeester to a three-year contract and placed rookie tight end Khalil Dinkins on the Active/Non-Football Injury List. Bouwmeester carries no fantasy relevance. Dinkins, already projected sixth on the depth chart, is now blocked from practicing or playing until medically cleared, ending any thin sleeper case he had.

Trent Taylor retirement ends seven-year NFL career
Trent Taylor, WR, has retired after seven NFL seasons, sharing the news on social media alongside longtime teammate George Kittle. Taylor spent all of 2025 on injured reserve with a back injury and had no fantasy relevance in his final years. His retirement changes nothing on the 49ers WR depth chart heading into 2026.

Sam Roush contract: Bears sign TE to four-year deal
The Chicago Bears have signed tight end Sam Roush to a four-year, $7.35 million rookie contract. He projects as TE3 behind Colston Loveland and Cole Kmet with no clear path to immediate fantasy targets. He is a dynasty stash worth adding now given Chicago's heavy multi-TE usage and his size-scheme fit.
