Expectations High For Matthew Stafford

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford's ceiling will be one of the harder-to-read determinations heading into fantasy drafts. The 32-year-old was on pace for 38 touchdowns and 4,000-plus yards last season until a fractured back ended his season. When healthy, Stafford can easily be a top-10 fantasy talent among quarterbacks. But his health status undoubtedly muddies... Read More

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Bisi Johnson has been so consistent and productive during camp that he currently has the inside track at starting the season as the team's No. 2 receiver.

David Montgomery Looking "A Step Quicker"

Chicago Bears running back David Montgomery has looked "a step quicker," according to Bears beat writer Adam Hoge.
