Leonard Fournette Could Become Bigger Receiving Threat

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette could become more of a receiving threat out of the backfield in his second season.

Deone Bucannon Misses Training Camp Practice

After colliding with wide receiver Brice Butler in practice Thursday, Arizona Cardinals linebacker Deone Bucannon did not participate in the media portion of the team's practice Friday.

"The Rust Has Fallen Off Fast" for Andrew Luck

Indianapolis Colts offensive coordinator Nick Sirianni stated that "the rust has fallen off fast" for quarterback Andrew Luck (shoulder).

Eagles Expected To Use A Lot Of Two-Tight End Sets

The Philadelphia Eagles are expected to use a ton of two-tight end sets in 2018 involving tight ends Zach Ertz and rookie Dallas Goedert.

Indianapolis Colts free safety Malik Hooker (knee) and strong safety Clayton Geathers (knee) have both passed physicals and been placed on the active roster, according to Andrew Walker of Colts.com.

Baker Mayfield, Rashard Higgins Connecting Often

Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Baker Mayfield and wide receiver Rashard Higgins have been hooking up often in training camp, and Thursday was no different. Mayfield threw a 37-yard touchdown pass to Higgins down the left side on Thursday. It's encouraging for the third-year wideout, but Higgins is just too far down the depth chart currently […]

Jarvis Landry Has Become Tyrod Taylor's Go-To Receiver

With Cleveland Browns wide receiver Josh Gordon still absent at training camp, Jarvis Landry has become quarterback Tyrod Taylor's go-to guy. The wideout had a vintage one-handed catch in the back corner of the end zone over cornerback E.J. Gaines on Thursday. Landry has caught everything within reach. While it'll be extremely difficult for Landry […]

Kevin Zeitler Out A Few Weeks

Cleveland Browns guard Kevin Zeitler (calf) is dealing with a calf injury that will keep him out for "awhile" in training camp, according to head coach Hue Jackson. Jackson is hoping Zeitler can be back in "a few weeks." Zeitler was solid for the Browns last year and should be fine for the regular season.

Cole Wick Carted Off Thursday

San Francisco 49ers tight end Cole Wick (knee) was carted off the field with a right knee injury on Thursday and was taken to a local hospital.

Quincy Enunwa Misses Another Practice

New York Jets wide receiver Quincy Enunwa (hand) missed his second straight practice on Thursday. It doesn't sound like a serious injury, though, so Enunwa should return to the field soon. He missed all of last year with a neck injury but is likely to be the No. 2 receiver behind Robby Anderson in 2018. […]

Chad Hansen Has Disappeared In Camp

New York Jets wide receiver Chad Hansen, who was a standout this spring, has disappeared so far in training camp. He's competing for the No. 4 job this year behind Robby Anderson, Quincy Enunwa and Jermaine Kearse. Terrelle Pryor is also in the fold, so Hansen doesn't have a good shot at fantasy relevance.

Isaiah Crowell To Be Big Factor In Offense

New York Jets running back Isaiah Crowell is showing his speed in training camp and is a better receiver than head coach Todd Bowles expected. Crowell will be a big factor in the offense. With Elijah McGuire injured, Crowell's stock is slowly rising, especially in PPR leagues. He could be a decent RB3/flex type.

Antonio Brown Will Be Fine

Updating a previous report, Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown is expected "to be fine in a few days," according to a source. The exact nature of Brown's injury is unknown, but he's just day-to-day. Brown is the best all-around receiver in the game still and should be the first wideout taken in the first […]

Marqise Lee, Donte Moncrief Both Practicing

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Marqise Lee practiced in full on Thursday, while wideout Donte Moncrief (ankle) worked on the side. Both players were injured in practice last weekend. They should both be fine moving forward. Lee has become the team's No. 1 wideout in 2018, but that doesn't necessarily mean he'll put up big numbers […]

Dede Westbrook Flashing In Training Camp

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dede Westbrook has flashed early on in training camp and had multiple catches on Thursday, including a 45-yarder from quarterback Cody Kessler. Westbrook's rookie season got off to a late start due to injury, but he showed flashes of his potential late in the year. However, Keelan Cole is probably ahead […]

Leonard Fournette Feeling Better

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette said he feels better playing 15 pounds lighter this year. “I have been more consistent on my bursts and stuff, just a lot of conditioning I have been doing in the offseason…," Fournette said. Fournette was solid in his rookie year but faded down the stretch with nagging injuries. […]

Antonio Brown Being Evaluated For Injury

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown is being evaluated for an undisclosed injury but is considered day-to-day, according to head coach Mike Tomlin. The injury probably isn't serious, but stay tuned. Brown is a top receiver in fantasy and has topped 1,000 yards receiving in each of the last five seasons and in six of […]

Blocking A Concern For Mike Gesicki

Miami Dolphins rookie tight end Mike Gesicki missed a blitz in practice on Thursday, and his blocking continues to be a concern, as he wasn't asked to do much blitz pickup in college. However, he made up for it by catching a nice touchdown from quarterback Brock Osweiler in one-on-one drills. Gesicki has been one […]

Trevor Williams Avoids High Ankle Sprain

Los Angeles Chargers cornerback Trevor Williams (ankle) avoided a high ankle sprain and will play in the preseason at some point.

Nyheim Hines Carving Out Role in the Slot

Indianapolis Colts rookie running back Nyheim Hines is repeatedly being lined up in the slot in training camp, according to Stephen Holder of the Indianapolis Star. Hines has plenty of experience as a slot receiver, as he was repeatedly used that way at North Carolina State. It appears as if Hines is a virtual lock […]

Terrance Williams' Legal Issues Settled

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Terrance Williams' case has been settled and he has paid $2,680.11 to the city of Frisco for damages. His charge of public intoxication is being dismissed after he completed an alcohol awareness and education course. With his legal issues cleared up, Williams should avoid a suspension from the NFL. Still, he's […]

Colts Backfield Could Vary Game To Game

The Indianapolis Colts are expected to employ a running-back-by-committee approach, and who the lead back will be could vary on a weekly basis. The unit includes Robert Turbin, Christine Michael, Marlon Mack, Nyheim Hines and Jordan Wilkins. “What keeps them on their toes right now is that they have to learn everything,” head coach Frank […]

Jordy Nelson Looking Good In Camp

Oakland Raiders wide receiver Jordy Nelson has been exactly what the team thought they were getting so far in training camp and is moving like he's 28 years old, not 33. He's running polished routes and developing his timing with quarterback Derek Carr. Nelson was a fantasy disaster last year, but keep in mind Aaron […]

Texans Confident Jadeveon Clowney Will Be Ready

The Houston Texans are confident that linebacker Jadeveon Clowney (knee) will be ready when the season starts, but they are easing him into training camp after he had offseason arthroscopic knee surgery.
