Dede Westbrook Excelling In Camp
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dede Westbrook has reportedly looked strong so far at training camp and has quickly developed a strong rapport with new quarterback Nick Foles. Westbrook was Jacksonville's top receiver last season with Marqise Lee (ACL) out, and while he's expected to see significant snaps in the slot with Lee back to play […]

Building a dynasty team is a lot like building literally any physical thing you can build. Whether we're talking about a house or a car or that model airplane that's been sitting in your garage for like 10 years now, you have the flashy parts that everyone sees and then the integral, invisible parts. No […]
Justin Carter 5 years agoTheo Riddick Released
The Lions are releasing running back Theo Riddick, who has played for Detroit since 2013. Riddick has had at least 53 catches in each of the past four seasons and was a solid late round PPR back, but with the release there's now a ton more uncertainty with him. In the right spot, he can […]
Justin Carter 5 years agoTexans Claim Chad Hansen
The battle for the Houston Texans' fifth receiver spot is completely up in the air, and on Friday the team complicated things even more, claiming wide receiver Chad Hansen off waivers from the Saints. Hansen was fairly productive for the Jets in 2017, but he's failed to stick with four other teams since then, and […]

When the San Francisco 49ers play the Dallas Cowboys on August 10th, quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo won't be suiting up. Garoppolo is recovering from a torn ACL that he suffered during the 2018 season, so head coach Kyle Shanahan is going to play it easy with his starting quarterback. He should be good to go when […]

The San Francisco 49ers are signing tight end Niles Paul, who played six games for the Jaguars last season. In those games, Paul had 10 catches for 98 yards. His best season came back in 2014 when he had 507 receiving yards with Washington. Paul's best case scenario is to earn the number-three tight end […]
Justin Carter 5 years agoD.J. Chark Practicing With Starters
Jacksonville Jaguars second-year wide receiver D.J. Chark is working with the team's starting unit at training camp. With Marqise Lee on the PUP List, it's been Chark and Dede Westbrook leading the way so far, with both players seeing significant action with the first-team offense. Chris Conley, Keelan Cole, and Terrelle Pryor have also gotten […]
Justin Carter 5 years agoKeith Kirkwood Practicing With First Team
New Orleans Saints wide receiver Keith Kirkwood practiced with the Saints' starting offense on Friday, taking the place of Michael Thomas, who is currently holding out. While Kirkwood is unlikely to be a starter on this Saints team, New Orleans using him in Thomas' place suggests that Kirkwood will be a key reserve for the […]
Justin Carter 5 years agoEmmanuel Butler Impressing Early In Camp
New Orleans Saints undrafted rookie wide receiver Emmanuel Butler has reportedly impressed the team so far in both OTAs and training camp. On Friday, Butler made the "best catch of practice" according to ESPN's Mike Triplett, who says that Friday's performance should be a big help to Butler's chances of making the team. Any Saints […]
Justin Carter 5 years agoCameron Meredith Practices At Start Of Training Camp
New Orleans Saints wide receiver Cameron Meredith (knee) sat out New Orleans' earlier offseason activities, but he was on the field Friday as the team started training camp. That's good news for Meredith, who isn't a lock to make New Orleans' final roster and needs all the on-field time he can get in training camp […]
Justin Carter 5 years agoCorey Coleman Tears ACL
New York Giants wide receiver Corey Coleman has suffered a torn ACL in training camp and will miss the entire 2019 season. Coleman, a former first-round pick, had a chance to contribute as a starting wide receiver for the Giants, but that's over now. With Coleman gone and Sterling Shepard (thumb) not a lock to […]
Justin Carter 5 years agoDeAndre Hopkins Removed From PUP List
Houston Texans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (ankle) has been removed from the Physically Unable to Perform list and is available to start practicing. Ultimately, Hopkins missed just one day of training camp, so any worries that fantasy owners had about Hopkins' health seem to be a thing of the past. He's arguably the first wide […]
Justin Carter 5 years agoDolphins Sign Allen Hurns
Just a couple of days after the Dallas Cowboys released him, the Miami Dolphins have signed wide receiver Allen Hurns. Hurns suffered an ankle injury in the playoffs last year that limited his offseason workout time, but he's expected to be ready to go for Week 1. In Miami, he'll compete with Davante Parker and […]
Justin Carter 5 years agoCalvin Ridley Hamstring Shouldn't Be A Concern
While Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley exited training camp early on Thursday with tightness in his hamstring, the second-year receiver is expected to be good to return to the practice field soon. Ridley leaving was just a precaution according to head coach Dan Quinn, and shouldn't lead to any lingering issues. Ridley is a […]
Justin Carter 5 years agoTrey Burke Signs With 76ers
Point guard Trey Burke has signed a one-year deal with the Philadelphia 76ers. Because the Sixers lack depth at point guard behind Ben Simmons, Burke has a chance to play a decent role on this team if he's able to beat out Shake Milton for minutes. Burke should be able to do that. Still, he […]
Justin Carter 5 years agoSterling Shepard Breaks Thumb
New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard broke his thumb during training camp on Thursday, putting his status for Week 1's meeting with the Dallas Cowboys in doubt. It's possible Shepard could be ready to go, but if he does miss regular season action, tight end Evan Engram and wide receiver Golden Tate could see […]
Justin Carter 5 years agoWashington Signs Shaun Wilson
The Washington Redskins have signed running back Shaun Wilson, who appeared in five games for Tampa Bay last season and rushed for 29 yards. Wilson could just be a camp body, but his ability to contribute as a kick returner could help him get the fourth running back spot on the roster. If he does, […]
Justin Carter 5 years agoRyan Fitzpatrick Leading Battle For Starting Role
Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick continued to impress on the first day of training camp and remains in the lead over second-year passer Josh Rosen in the battle for the team's starting quarterback role. In terms of fantasy impact, Fitzpatrick being Miami's starter is more appealing than Rosen getting the job, as Fitzpatrick has a […]
Justin Carter 5 years agoKalen Ballage Gets First-Team Reps
Miami Dolphins running back Kalen Ballage saw work with the first-team offense during Thursday's training camp action. While Kenyan Drake is still the team's starting runner, Ballage getting early work with the starters is a sign that he should see an increased role for Miami this year. While that's bad news for Drake, it's good […]
Justin Carter 5 years agoDragan Bender Signs With Bucks
Despite reports that he already signed a deal to play in Russia next season, ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski is reporting that former Suns power forward Dragan Bender has agreed to a two-year deal with the Milwaukee Bucks. It's hard to see a role for Bender in Milwaukee, as he's basically been a very, very inefficient stretch […]
Justin Carter 5 years agoMichael Thomas Does Not Report To Training Camp
New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas did not report to training camp as the fourth-year receiver reportedly wants a new contract. Thomas has to report to the team at least 30 days before the start of the season for the upcoming season to count as an accrued season, so there's not much chance of […]
Justin Carter 5 years agoWill Fuller Practices On First Day Of Training Camp
Houston Texans wide receiver Will Fuller (ACL) practiced with the team on the first day of training camp, suggesting that he'll be fully healthy and ready to go as the 2019 season approaches.

Justin Carter 5 years agoDanny Etling Converts To Wide Receiver
New England Patriots quarterback Danny Etling now appears to be New England Patriots wide receiver Danny Etling. With a tough path to making the roster as a quarterback but an easier path to finding snaps on a receiver-needy Patriots squad, Etling will try to make the team as a wideout. Etling showed off some of […]
Justin Carter 5 years agoRyquell Armstead Is Off PUP List
It's only the first day of training camp for the Jacksonville Jaguars, but rookie running back Ryquell Armstead (hamstring) has already been removed from the Physically Unable to Perform list. The team had placed him there as a precaution, but it appears Armstead's hamstring injury happened long enough ago that he's cleared to be a […]
Justin Carter 5 years agoAlbert Wilson Will Be Limited To Start Training Camp
Last season, a hip injury limited Miami Dolphins wide receiver Albert Wilson to just seven games, and while he's mostly recovered at this point, the team plans to play it safe with Wilson at the start of training camp. Wilson will be limited to individual drills to open camp, though it's expected he'll be a […]
Justin Carter 5 years agoChris Conley Could Play Key Role In Jacksonville
The Jacksonville Jaguars signed former Chiefs wide receiver Chris Conley this past offseason and Conley is currently projected to start for the Jaguars in his first season with the team. Conley's a speedy receiver who can make plays down the field, and he has some familiarity with quarterback Nick Foles from Foles' brief stint in […]
Justin Carter 5 years agoD.J. Chark Should Open Season As Starter
Jacksonville Jaguars second-year wide receiver D.J. Chark is expected to open the season as a starter for the Jaguars, says Daniel Popper of The Athletic.

Justin Carter 5 years agoJosh Ferguson In Line To Be Houston's Third Back
Beyond Lamar Miller and D'Onta Foreman, the Houston Texans running back position is a bit of mystery. But Aaron Reiss of The Athletic predicts that former Indianapolis Colts running back Josh Ferguson seems to be in line to be the team's third back. Ferguson's role would exclusively be as a third-down back and he'd likely […]

Tennessee Titans offensive lineman Taylor Lewan has been suspended for the first four games of the NFL season for violating the league's substance-abuse policy. Lewan is one of the NFL's best tackles, and while the team should mostly be fine in his absence, the offense is likely going to see a slight dip in production […]

After an ACL tear ended his rookie year before it began and a hamstring injury originally put his status for training camp in jeopardy, people were understandably down on Washington Redskins running back Derrius Guice.
