Behold: every fantasy relevant player from every NFL team, all in one place!

1. When NFL fans woke up this morning, we came to the wonderful realization that this is our last week without football. The preseason ended Sunday night, and we just have to get through this week before the season officially begins.
In honor of this significant occasion, I thought it would be fun to take a trip down memory lane. 
With social media being what it is, we are all prisoners of the moment and love to label everything as “the best ever” or “the worst ever.” And events that took place before 2006, when Twitter was invented, don’t seem to count.

The final Grand Slam of the tennis season is here
The final Grand Slam of the season is here, as the tennis world descends upon New York City.
On the men’s side, are we heading for another epic showdown between Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic? It would seem that way, given their Final in Wimbledon and their recent thriller at the Cincinnati Open. But before they meet again, they’ll have to work their way through a deep and talented field.

The Indianapolis Colts have so far declined multiple trade offers for disgruntled running back Jonathan Taylor because they have not included a first-round pick, a source familiar with one of the offers told OutKick on Monday.
So the saga between the Colts, Taylor, his agent, the teams interested in Taylor, running backs around the league, and even fantasy football draftniks, has reached the homestretch and is turning for home with a Tuesday deadline approaching.
The Colts have talked to a handful of teams interested in Taylor since the player was given permission to seek a trade.

During a Tuesday episode of ESPN’s First Take, Stephen A. Smith said that his sources told him Lonzo Ball struggles to “get up from the sitting position” due to the knee injuries that have continued to hamper him during his career. Upon seeing this, the Bulls guard decided to publicly call out Smith and posted a video of himself easily standing up from a chair on just one leg, saying, “Stephen A.

Viktor Hovland may not have a major championship under his belt (yet) but after the clinic he put on to win the Tour Championship, the man has cemented himself not only as a certified killer but a superstar as well.
Scottie Scheffler knows all too well how it feels to lose to Hovland. While he began the Tour Championship with a two-shot lead over Young Hov, he ended up getting lapped by the 25-year-old by a whopping 18 shots in Atlanta.

On the women’s side, Iga Swiatek enters the tournament atop the WTA rankings, and the defending champion remains the betting favorite. But Aryna Sabalenka has closed the gap in those rankings, and enters the U.S. Open as the No. 2 seed.
Then there is Coco Gauff, who is seeking her first Grand Slam title. Gauff is coming off a win at Cincinnati, and could be primed to make a deep run at the U.S. Open.

Bryce is the same guy he was at Alabama, and that’s amazing news for the Panthers.
Bryce Young’s first preseason is in the books, and Panthers fans should be very, very excited. The No. 1 pick in the 2023 NFL Draft quietly played some of the best football we’ve ever seen from a first-year quarterback in preseason, but there’s a reason you probably didn’t about it: It never materialized in the box score.
Across Carolina’s three preseason games, Young played what was tantamount to one full game of football.

After three seasons working as an analyst on ESPN’s Monday Night Countdown, Booger McFarland was not listed on the show’s new cast when it was announced last week.
However, it sounds like the network has found a new role for McFarland. According to New York Post’s Andrew Marchand, McFarland will join ESPN’s new Monday studio show, which will discuss NFL and college football storylines. He will reportedly join former Arizona State coach Herm Edwards.
The show is set to replace ESPN’s NFL Rewind. Marchand reported that SportsCenter’s Michael Eaves will host.

NEW ORLEANS – New Orleans Saints quarterback Jameis Winston did not endear himself to LSU fans on Sunday night.
His alma mater Florida State plays LSU Sunday night (7:30 p.m., ABC) in Orlando, Florida, in the season opener for both teams. It is the game of the year so far in college football as it is the first top 10 matchup of the season. Winston’s Seminoles are ranked No. 8, and the Tigers are at No. 5. LSU is a 2.5-point favorite.
