One of the best and most comprehensive features we do every year is our Footballguys Preseason Updates. Every week this month, our Bob Henry, Jason Wood, Clayton Gray, and their team of Footballguys Staffers cover every player that matters from every NFL team. It's 32-plus pages of some of the most comprehensive coverage you'll find. It's probably worth the Footballguys Premium Subscription by itself.

While I encourage you to read every word on every team for every week, I also understand "Life Happens." And one of the more valuable services Footballguys can add is saving you time.

For this article, I had the idea of taking the full August Updates and asking our team writers to distill it down into 80 proof shots of the Need-to-Know material. Some teams will have more news than others because that's how it works in real life. Much of it will be from the August Updates, some of it will be my takes, but all of it will hopefully be useful to you. And make sure to jump on our Premium Subscription to continue seeing this type of stuff all year long. And if this feature is helpful to you, shoot me an email at bryant@footballguys.com and let me know.

Plus a new addition for this year. For each team, I've included a link to our Depth Charts and also to the Full Camp Report. If you like these bullets and want more detail, check out the Full Camp Report for each team.

Please note: The Full Camp Reports for each team will be available Wednesday morning.

Let's get to it.

Arizona Cardinals | Depth Chart | Footballguys Full Camp Report

• The team has high hopes for QB Kyler Murray and he's reportedly “leaps and bounds” ahead of last year.
• RB James Conner will receive most of the work as rookie Trey Benson continues to get acclimated. 
• TE Trey McBride continues to get comfortable with the system and is looking forward to being the main guy for an expected large workload.
• DL Darius Robinson sustained a calf injury and may be placed on injured reserve to start the season; would be eligible to return in Week 5.

Atlanta Falcons | Depth Chart | Footballguys Full Camp Report

• QB Kirk Cousins' experience is evident and this is expected to be a high-producing fantasy offense.
• RBs Bijan Robinson and Tyler Allgeier shared the rush opportunities 15 to 7 in the game situation intrasquad scrimmage, with both getting two targets; this split representation feels realistic. 
• WR Drake London has had a great summer and has given every reason to believe he will be an elite fantasy producer.
• WR Darnell Mooney is locked into an every-down role, emerging late in camp and leading the offense with five targets in the scrimmage.
• TE Kyle Pitts will have an every-down role, working both inline and split out as the team rotates WR Ray-Ray McCloud and TEs Charlie Woerner and Ross Dwelley to scheme personnel.

Baltimore Ravens | Depth Chart | Footballguys Full Camp Report

• QB Lamar Jackson was under heavy pressure in joint practices against the Packers defense and took too many sacks.
• RBs Derrick Henry and Justice Hill will handle all the running back touches, with Henry in line for another workhorse season.
• WR Zay Flowers ended camp on a high note with multiple dominant practices.
• WR Rashod Bateman is healthy and performed well against the Packers.
• TE Mark Andrews has not returned to practice since a car accident nearly two weeks ago, but he appears to be at no risk of missing Week 1.

Buffalo Bills | Depth Chart | Footballguys Full Camp Report

• QB Josh Allen was held out of the last two preseason games. He will try to elevate the offense following turnover in the receiver room.
• RB James Cook is the feature back but expect rookie Ray Davis to fill a role as a change-of-pace option.
• At WR, Khalil Shakir is likely to be relied upon heavily as the slot receiver with Curtis Samuel and Keon Coleman also contributing.  
• TE Dalton Kincaid has TE1 potential but may also share snaps with Dawson Knox.
• On defense, the unit should remain above average but there are key question marks at linebacker and safety. 

Carolina Panthers | Depth Chart | Footballguys Full Camp Report

• QB Bryce Young saw his first preseason action and led an impressive touchdown drive.
• RB Chuba Hubbard will take the lion's share of carries while the team waits on Jonathon Brooks to get healthy.
• WRs Diontae Johnson and Adam Thielen are expected to be the team's leading receivers.
• Rookie WR Xavier Legette is still learning the offense after missing time with a foot injury.

Chicago Bears | Depth Chart | Footballguys Full Camp Report

• For what it's worth, the Bears went 4-0 in preseason, hopefully sparking a much-needed culture change.
• QB Caleb Williams looks ready to lead the Bears with QB Tyson Bagent slotting in as an above-average backup.
• WRs DJ Moore, Rome Odunze, and Keenan Allen are the team's biggest strength and are all playing well.
• RB D'Andre Swift sits atop the pecking order, but expect to see a rotation of backs getting touches out of the backfield.

Cincinnati Bengals | Depth Chart | Footballguys Full Camp Report

• QB Joe Burrow was excellent in joint practices against the Colts, wrapping up camp on a high note and feeling healthy. 
• RBs Chase Brown and Zack Moss are expected to split playing time equally.
• WR Ja'Marr Chase is still hoping for a new deal but has been a full participant in practice.
• WR Jermaine Burton has shown signs of immaturity and looks headed toward a redshirt season.
• TE Mike Gesicki ended camp on a high note, showing off a strong rapport with Burrow.

Cleveland Browns | Depth Chart | Footballguys Full Camp Report

• QB Deshaun Watson was scratched from the game against Seattle after experiencing shoulder soreness late in the week.
• Watson is still expected to start Week 1, though Jameis Winston looks ready if needed.
• The only certainty at running back is that Jerome Ford will start while Nick Chubb is out.
• There is no timetable set for Chubb or fourth-string Nyheim Hines.
• With Watson's deep ball limitations, TE David Njoku and WR Amari Cooper expect to lead the team in targets in the short and intermediate passing game.

Dallas Cowboys | Depth Chart | Footballguys Full Camp Report

• QB Dak Prescott remains without a contract but remains optimistic a deal will get done soon. 
• RBs Rico Dowdle and Ezekiel Elliott will share the backfield this year, barring a last-minute acquisition. Neither has looked great, but Dowdle has been the more consistent performer in camp. 
• WR CeeDee Lamb signed a monster 4-year $136 million deal with a $38 million signing bonus.
• TE Jake Ferguson should be on the field a lot, as his backups, including Luke Schoonmaker, haven't stood out. 
• CB DaRon Bland, one of the team's best defenders, had foot surgery and will be out for six to eight weeks. 

Denver Broncos | Depth Chart | Footballguys Full Camp Report

• Rookie QB Bo Nix won the starting job relatively easily and is generating cautious optimism.
• RB Javonte Williams looks like the only (somewhat) sure thing on a crowded depth chart.
• Young WRs Marvin Mims and Troy Franklin have underwhelmed, even in limited roles, for most of camp.
• Speedy TE Greg Dulcich could add a new dimension to this offense as a complement to blocking starter Adam Trautman.

Detroit Lions | Depth Chart | Footballguys Full Camp Report

• RB Jahmyr Gibbs is trending the right way to play in week one as he recovers from a hamstring injury.
• WR Kalif Raymond's offensive snaps will be limited due to his special teams responsibilities.
• WR Jameson Williams could break out this year due to more nuanced route-running.
• TE Sam LaPorta returned to practice Sunday after missing time with a hamstring injury.
• DT Levi Onwuzurike was the biggest breakout of anyone in training camp.

Green Bay Packers | Depth Chart | Footballguys Full Camp Report

• QB Jordan Love and his receivers look to be in midseason form already.
• Injuries to RBs AJ Dillon and MarShawn Lloyd have likely opened the door for Emanuel Wilson to stick on the roster.
• WR Romeo Doubs doesn't look like a No. 1 wideout, but his rounded skillset and every-down role make him invaluable.
• WR Bo Melton has likely saved his No. 5 WR job, but the gap from him to No. 4 Dontayvion Wicks is massive.
• TEs Luke Musgrave and Tucker Kraft make for a complementary set of playmakers.

Houston Texans | Depth Chart | Footballguys Full Camp Report

• QB Davis Mills has won the No. 2 role behind C.J. Stroud.
• RB Cam Akers has made a legitimate case for the No. 2 role behind Joe Mixon ahead of Dameon Pierce.
• WR Noah Brown may start the year on injured reserve, creating a potential opening for versatile contributors Steven Sims or Ben Skowronek.
• Veteran safety Jimmie Ward signed a one-year $10.5 million contract extension through 2025.

• WR Josh Downs is no longer in a walking boot and appears on pace to return in early September.
• WR Adonai Mitchell is still learning the intricacies of the offense, but the physical talent has been obvious.

Jacksonville Jaguars | Depth Chart | Footballguys Full Camp Report

• QB Trevor Lawrence finished his best preseason yet and looks totally locked in.
• Mac Jones is the backup QB and looks better than he did in New England.
• RBs Travis Etienne and Tank Bigsby are locked in as the top two backs, and D'Ernest Johnson is likely the RB3.
• WR Brian Thomas Jr. had one of the best rookie preseasons in the league among receivers.
• TE Evan Engram's receiving role looks locked in, the team could carry four TEs.
• The defense continues to gel and take steps in the right direction.

Kansas City Chiefs | Depth Chart | Footballguys Full Camp Report

• RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire's quiet preseason has been partly due to mental health struggles and partly to a locked-in No. 2 role.
• WR Justin Watson, who brings size and speed to an unproven depth chart, will run as the No. 2 wideout while Hollywood Brown heals.
• The final WR spot on the roster may be reserved for a kick-return specialist, giving hope to the likes of Skyy Moore and Nikko Remigio.
• WR Kadarius Toney, however, likely isn't in the mix for that role after another camp plagued by injuries and miscues.

Las Vegas Raiders | Depth Chart | Footballguys Full Camp Report

• QB Gardner Minshew is the Week 1 starter partly due to his mobility, which will be key behind a potentially shaky offensive line.
• RB Zamir White is expected to be the lead back.
• RB Alexander Mattison is the top backup and favorite for third-down snaps over rookie Dylan Laube.
• WR Tre Tucker ended camp on a strong note and has a modest fantasy upside as the WR3. 
• TE Brock Bowers has missed more than a week with a foot injury, though Antonio Pierce called his absence “precautionary.”

Los Angeles Chargers | Depth Chart | Footballguys Full Camp Report

• QB Justin Herbert turned in a full week of practice, immediately elevating the offense's overall performance.
• RBs Gus Edwards and J.K. Dobbins are the starting backs. With an expected focus on the run, there is fantasy value for both.
• WR Ladd McConkey is back healthy, an immediate team leader, and a vital part of the offense.
• WR Quentin Johnston turned in another strong week of practice, immediately forming a connection with Herbert. 
• The team could rotate five wide receivers, with Josh Palmer, DJ Chark, and Derius Davis joining McConkey and Johnston. 
• TEs Hayden Hurst, Will Dissly, and Stone Smartt are expected to rotate.

Los Angeles Rams | Depth Chart | Footballguys Full Camp Report

• Quarterback Matthew Stafford practiced in joint sessions against the Texans with no restrictions on his hamstring scare from last week.
• Running backs Kyren Williams and Blake Corum have worked in tandem, and Corum's job is to keep Williams “fresh,” but no significant clarity on the regular split has emerged.
• Wide receiver Cooper Kupp is fully recovered from injuries that plagued the 2022 and 2023 seasons and looks ready to return to his dominant target share.
• WR Puka Nacua has remained out of practice, while Tyler Johnson, Jordan Whittington, and Xavier Smith all rotated through his position. Whittington's blocking and run after catch have earned attention.
• WR Demarcus Robinson is solidified as a starter and plays a different position than Kupp and Nacua.

Miami Dolphins | Depth Chart | Footballguys Full Camp Report

• Miami's starters did not play in the preseason finale.
• TE Jonnu Smith drew praise from the offensive coaching staff.
• The team's edge rushers are standing out in joint practices.
• WR Jaylen Waddle practiced for the first time this year.

New England Patriots | Depth Chart | Footballguys Full Camp Report

• Rookie QB Drake Maye has improved steadily and looked great in the preseason finale, but most expect Jacoby Brissett to be the starter.
• RBs Rhamondre Stevenson and Antonio Gibson look poised to control the backfield.
• Rookie WR Ja'Lynn Polk looks ready to start and contribute, while fellow rookie Javon Baker has tumbled down the depth chart.
• Veteran WRs like KJ Osborn and (eventually) Kendrick Bourne will likely dominate snaps for new coach Jerod Mayo.
• With veteran TEs Hunter Henry and Austin Hooper slowed by injuries, rookie Jaheim Bell has made a statement with the first team.

New Orleans Saints | Depth Chart | Footballguys Full Camp Report

• Rookie QB Spencer Rattler's strong preseason finale may have inched him past Jake Haener for the backup job.
• Top WR Chris Olave is preparing for more targets that feature his reliable hands and quick feet.
• WR A.T. Perry continues to underwhelm in his quest to land No. 4 duties.
• Starting TE Juwan Johnson has beaten a pessimistic timetable and returned to action.

New York Giants | Depth Chart | Footballguys Full Camp Report

• QB Daniel Jones is weeks away from the start of his make-or-break season in New York. At best, the preseason returns were inconclusive. 
• RB Devin Singletary is not only the unquestioned No. 1 but could be in line for a career-best snap count. 
• WR Malik Nabers should be among the most targeted receivers in the NFL this year.
• WR Wan'Dale Robinson looks to play a classic slot role, coming off the field in two receiver sets.
• TE Theo Johnson should get every opportunity to contribute immediately. 

New York Jets | Depth Chart | Footballguys Full Camp Report

• QB Aaron Rodgers put on a dazzling display in Wednesday's joint practice with the NY Giants and looks ready for the regular season despite sitting out all three preseason games.
• Rookie RBs Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis both had impressive camps and were rested for the final preseason game, suggesting they'll each have a role behind Breece Hall.
• WR Garrett Wilson capped off a dominant camp and has overall WR1 in his range of fantasy football outcomes for as long as Rodgers remains healthy.
• WR Mike Williams' status for Week 1 remains unclear. He returned to team drills this week, and HC Robert Saleh continues to say he is progressing well.
• ESPN's Rich Cimini suggested if holdout DE Haason Reddick remains without a new contract by September 2nd or 3rd, his absence could extend into the season.

Philadelphia Eagles | Depth Chart | Footballguys Full Camp Report

• QB Jalen Hurts had a near-perfect training camp and is healthy, focused, and comfortable in Kellen Moore's offensive system. 
• RB Saquon Barkley acclimated well to his new surroundings and set a goal of being the “best of all time.” 
• RBs Kenneth Gainwell and Will Shipley look interchangeable and can play in all subpackages. 
• TE depth is a massive concern beyond starter Dallas Goedert. 
• WRs A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith were the camp stars, unsurprisingly. 
• WR Jahan Dotson will be slotted into the No. 3 role immediately, which was a major need before the trade. 

Pittsburgh Steelers | Depth Chart | Footballguys Full Camp Report

• QB Russell Wilson will be the Week 1 starter.
• RB Jaylen Warren's hamstring injury is minor, and he looks on track to be active in Week 1. 
• WR George Pickens continues his strong camp and should see his fantasy stock rise over the next week. Especially if the Brandon Aiyuk trade fails to materialize. 
• Second-year OLB Nick Herbig is emerging as an impact pass rusher. 

San Francisco 49ers | Depth Chart | Footballguys Full Camp Report

• Even though we haven't seen RB Christian McCaffrey in the pre-season due to his calf injury, Kyle Shanahan is not concerned, calling him “obsessed” with his preparation.
• There is no outright winner of the QB2 job yet, with Josh Dobbs and Brandon Allen still waiting to get the call.
• Rookie WR Ricky Pearsall did not dress for the final pre-season game, but he returned to practice and has a good chance to be available Week 1. 
• The 49ers desperately need to resign Trent Williams to protect his QB1 - Purdy was pressured a lot on Friday night and sacked once.
• TE George Kittle looked explosive, plucking balls out of the air in double coverage. He looks to have a big season with or without Aiyuk.

Seattle Seahawks | Depth Chart | Footballguys Full Camp Report

• OC Ryan Grubb is pushing the pace, which would be diametrically different than the last three seasons when Seattle ranked dead last in plays per game.
• QB Geno Smith was surgical in his lone drive, throwing multiple deep passes to his star receivers.
• RBs Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet are set as the No. 1 and No. 2, respectively, but expect the team also to keep Kenny McIntosh and George Holani.
• WRs DK Metcalf and Jaxon Smith-Njigba  made big plays in the finale, while Tyler Lockett didn't.
• LB Uchenna Nwosu, the team's best defensive player, suffered a knee injury of unknown severity in the preseason finale.

• WR Tyler Boyd could make a sizeable impact if Hopkins misses any regular season time.
• TE Chig Okonkwo is still the guy in the tight end room.
• The defense continues to shine, and it looks like they could be a great unit this year.

Washington Commanders | Depth Chart | Footballguys Full Camp Report

• Expectations are sky-high for QB Jayden Daniels after an exciting preseason.
• RBs Brian Robinson and Austin Ekeler were treated like co-starters throughout the preseason.
• WR Terry McLaurin is far and away the team's best option and should see massive target volume.
• WRs Olamide Zaccheaus and Dyami Brown are in line to start, but neither has shown enough that Luke McCaffrey can't earn a bigger role this season.
• TE Zach Ertz is the starter, at least until rookie Ben Sinnott gets his opportunity.
