With Foreman gone, Crockett could see an expanded role as Houston's short-yardage back if he can make the team's final roster.

Yannick Ngakoue Reports To Camp
Jacksonville Jaguars defensive end Yannick Ngakoue has reported to camp, ending his holdout. Ngakoue was in search of a better contract situation after collecting 29.5 sacks and 10 forced fumbles over his first three years in the NFL. Ngakoue is a vital part of the Jaguars defense, so his return is good news for anyone […]

Texans Waive D'Onta Foreman
In a surprising move, the Houston Texans waived running back D'Onta Foreman on Sunday. Foreman was slow to recover from an Achilles injury that he suffered in 2017 and held him to just seven carries and negative-one yard in one game in 2018. The team wasn't happy with Foreman's training camp performance and head coach […]

Players to Prioritize in Standard Leagues but Fade in PPR
Some of us still really enjoy playing in standard leagues, even though standard scoring has become the villain of the fantasy world according to some people. My home league has played standard since it started and it's fun to have a league where I have to think about fantasy football in a completely different way. […]

Marqise Lee May Not Have Significant Role
With Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Marqise Lee (knee) still not practicing, the Jaguars have gone with a three-receiver set of Dede Westbrook, D.J. Chark, and Chris Conley so far. The assumption was that Lee would replace one of those guys when healthy, but it's starting to sound like that may not be the case. 1010XL's […]

Geoff Swaim Set To Be Starting Tight End
Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Geoff Swaim is the team's starting tight end heading into the season, says Hays Carlyon of 1010XL. There was competition between Swaim and rookie Josh Oliver, but a hamstring injury has set Oliver back and helped hand the role to Swaim. Swaim spent the first four years of his career in […]

Must-Own Breakout Running Backs with Late ADP
As fantasy football drafts get later and later, it gets more and more difficult to figure out who you should pick. Some people respond to this by saying "ehh, I'll just do whatever and figure things out on the waiver wire." And, well...yes, you're going to need to figure things out on the waiver wire […]

Cameron Meredith Signs With Patriots
The New England Patriots have signed wide receiver Cameron Meredith, who was released by the Saints earlier in the week. Meredith has been placed on the team's active/PUP list while he recovers from a knee injury, but he's expected to be healthy and ready to go when the regular season arrives. Meredith should make this […]

Kahale Warring Working Mainly With Backups
Houston Texans rookie tight end Kahale Warring is finally practicing with the team after starting training camp on the PUP list, but so far he's mainly seeing snaps with the backup offense. This suggests that both Jordan Akins and Jordan Thomas are ahead of Warring in the pecking order right now. Warring's got potential down […]

Devin Singletary (RB, BUF) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper
BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~140 Overall Current ADP: ~160 Buffalo's backfield is a mess. LeSean McCoy. Frank Gore. T.J. Yeldon. Devin Singletary. How will you ever figure out who'll be the best of them? Well, training camp can be a partial guide for us. Singletary has been getting reps with the first-team offense already, which suggests that he's […]

Latavius Murray (RB, NO) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper
BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~90 Overall Current ADP: ~100 Former Vikings back Latavius Murray has taken Mark Ingram's role in what was the NFL's best running back committee over the past two years, when the Ingram and Alvin Kamara duo was an incredibly lethal duo in real life and fantasy. But people have...well, they've just seemed […]

Austin Hooper (TE, ATL) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper
BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~90 Overall Current ADP: ~110 I'll admit that Austin Hooper has never been a name that excited me, even after he finished as the PPR TE6 last season. That was aided by injuries to a lot of other tight ends, so it's not as impressive as it seems. But Hooper's third […]

Melvin Gordon Requested Trade
Los Angeles Chargers running back Melvin Gordon has requested a trade, according to ESPN's Josina Anderson. Whether or not Gordon gets traded is still a mystery, and the team has reportedly not granted him permission to speak to other teams and gauge the trade market. A holdout that didn't seem like it'd wind up being […]

Terrelle Pryor Remains Behind Other Jaguars Receivers
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Terrelle Pryor has made some good plays so far at training camp, especially in red-zone work, but he remains sixth on the team's depth chart at the position, putting his chances of making the team's final roster in jeopardy. It's possible he could make the team if Marqise Lee is still […]

Josh Oliver Suffers Hamstring Injury
Jacksonville Jaguars rookie tight end Josh Oliver suffered a hamstring injury during Thursday's practice. Head coach Doug Marrone says that he isn't sure of the severity of the injury and how much time Oliver will have to miss, but it's a big setback for a promising young tight end. While Oliver will face an uphill […]

Jaguars Claim Donnie Ernsberger
The Jacksonville Jaguars have claimed tight end Donnie Ernsberger off waivers from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Ernsberger appeared in two games for Tampa Bay last year and didn't record an offensive stat. He's likely just a camp body for the Jaguars, who made room for him on the roster by tight end Michael Colubiale. Ernsberger's […]

The Houston Texans currently have a two-way battle going for the reserve outside wide receiver spot between Vyncint Smith and Tyron Johnson, with both players impressing the coaching staff during training camp.

Kahale Warring Taken Off Non-Football Injury List
Houston Texans rookie tight end Kahale Warring (hamstring) has been removed from the non-football injury list and will be able to begin practicing with the team. Warring impressed coaches in the team's earlier offseason workouts, but he's likely going to be fighting Jordan Akins for snaps as the team's second tight end, not Jordan Thomas […]

The New Orleans Saints have placed running back Javorius Allen on the Injured Reserve for undisclosed reasons. New Orleans signed Allen in the offseason after he spent the first four years of his career as a receiving back in Baltimore, but it appears he won't be part of the Saints' plans this season. Allen is […]

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver D.J. Chark continued to make impressive plays in training camp on Tuesday, including putting in strong work in the red zone, an area he struggled immensely in 2018.

We're back from the WNBA All-Star break with a three-game slate tonight, including a home game for the Las Vegas Aces, who hosted the All-Star Game.

Stop Drafting TEs Early - Wait for Delanie Walker or Austin Hooper
There are three tight ends who you should probably draft early: Travis Kelce, Zach Ertz, and George Kittle. All three are very good players who have huge roles in their team's offenses, and with the positional scarcity of the tight end position, grabbing those guys early makes a lot of sense. But the position really […]

Cameron Meredith Released
On Monday, the New Orleans Saints released wide receiver Cameron Meredith. Meredith was working his way back from a knee injury and was already facing an uphill battle to make the team, but the emergence of rookie Emmanuel Butler made that an even harder task for Meredith. He'll now try to find another team, but […]

Trent Taylor Continues To Impress In Camp
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Trent Taylor looked strong in Spring practices and continues to excel at training camp. Taylor had 26 catches for 215 yards and a touchdown in 14 games last year, but was slowed all year by a back issue. Taylor's looking like he has a good chance to be San Francisco's […]

James O’Shaughnessy, Michael Colubiale Get H-Back Snaps
The Jacksonville Jaguars have been using two of their tight ends -- undrafted rookie Michael Colubiale and veteran James O’Shaughnessy -- in an H-back role during training camp. Essentially, the two are being used in a role that's part fullback and part tight end. If one of the two can impress in that role as […]
