Texans 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 […]

Jimmy Garoppolo Won't Play In Preseason Opener

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 […]

49ers Sign Niles Paul

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 […]

D.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 […]

Keith 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 […]

Emmanuel 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 […]

Cameron 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 […]

Corey 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 […]

DeAndre 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 […]

Dolphins 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 […]

Calvin 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 […]

Trey 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 […]

Sterling 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 […]

Washington 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, […]

Ryan 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 […]

Kalen 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 […]

Dragan 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 […]

Michael 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 […]

Will 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. When Fuller is on the field, he's one of the NFL's most dangerous players and a touchdown magnet for quarterback Deshaun Watson, […]

Danny 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 […]

Ryquell 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 […]

Albert 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 […]

Chris 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 […]

D.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. The team is expected to bring wide receiver Marqise Lee along slowly, with Chark and new acquisition Chris Conley seeing an increase in snaps to start the year. Chark's shown […]

Josh 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 […]

Titans Lineman Taylor Lewan Suspended Four Games

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 […]

Derrius Guice Cleared For Training Camp

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. But head coach Jay Gruden says that Guice is fully ready for training camp and won't be limited, putting him […]

Chris Godwin Expected To Take Most Snaps

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin is expected to be on the field for most of Tampa Bay's snaps in 2019 according to new head coach Bruce Arians. Arians also said that he sees Godwin playing in a slot role similar to the one Larry Fitzgerald plays in Arizona. Arians has spent the offseason […]

Vikings Claim De'Angelo Henderson

Just a day after releasing running back Roc Thomas, the Minnesota Vikings have claimed running back De'Angelo Henderson off waivers from the Jets. Henderson could find his way into a role behind Dalvin Cook and Alexander Mattison, and being Minnesota's third-string back might be the best-case scenario for the third-year back. He's not fantasy relevant […]

Pau Gasol Signs With Trail Blazers

Free agent center/power forward Pau Gasol has signed a one-year deal with the Portland Trail Blazers, where he'll likely back up starting center Hassan Whiteside. Gasol's reached a point in his career where his presence on the floor isn't really that useful for anyone, and it's hard to see him having much fantasy value this […]
