Tavon Austin Being Used Out Wide

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Tavon Austin was lining up out wide on the first day of training camp on Thursday. Offensive coordinator Scott Linehan has made Austin sound like he'll be a key part of the offense this year. He could be given the lack of Dallas' other options in the receiving game now that […]

Texans Taking Cautious Approach With Jadeveon Clowney

Houston Texans linebacker Jadeveon Clowney (knee) worked on the side during full team drills at training camp on Thursday. The Texans think he'll be at full strength soon, but they are taking a cautious approach with him after he had arthroscopic knee surgery in the offseason. Head coach Bill O'Brien said it's unlikely that Clowney […]

Cameron Meredith, Alex Okafor Take Part In Team Drills

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Cameron Meredith (knee) and defensive end Alex Okafor (Achilles) both took part in the team portion of practice on Thursday, which is a significant step in their recoveries. Meredith has a chance for a nice bounce-back season with his new team and could be quarterback Drew Brees' second favorite target […]

Leonard Fournette Looks Good On Day 1

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette looked good on Day 1 of training camp on Thursday, showing quickness on runs and while catching passes. He reported to camp at 223 pounds after playing in the 235-pound range in his rookie season. Fournette was solid last year but had durability issues late in the year and […]

Dalvin Cook To Be Full Go For Training Camp

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (knee) is expected to be a full go for training camp. Cook was on his way to an explosive rookie season before he tore his ACL early in the year. He was averaging 12.8 fantasy points per game in standard leagues and was receiving a huge workload for Minnesota. […]

Vontaze Burfict On NFI List

Cincinnati Bengals linebacker Vontaze Burfict (hamstring) was put on the Non-Football Injury list with what is believed to be a tight hamstring. Burfict should be fine with his injury, but he will serve a four-game suspension to begin the year. The 27-year-old played full seasons in his first two years but hasn't done so since, […]

Orleans Darkwa Works Out For Bills

Free-agent running back Orleans Darkwa recently worked out for the Buffalo Bills, according to a source. Darkwa is back to full health after playing with the Giants last year. Buffalo is covering their bases for running back depth with LeSean McCoy potentially facing a suspension. Darkwa had 171 carries for 751 yards (4.4 yards per […]

Ryan Fitzpatrick The Expected Week 1 Starter

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Dirk Koetter said that quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick is the planned starter for Week 1 against the Saints, barring something unforeseen. Fitzpatrick worked with the first-team offense on Thursday at training camp. Jameis Winston is suspended for the first three games of the year, so Fitz should start in all three […]

Giants Will Talk Contract Soon With Odell Beckham Jr.

New York Giants owner John Mara said the team will open contract talks with wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. "sooner rather than later." Mara thinks Beckham is moving in the right direction. OBJ showed up to mandatory minicamp and isn't holding out of training camp, so both sides figure to get something worked out eventually. […]

Martavis Bryant Expected To Practice Thursday

Oakland Raiders wide receiver Martavis Bryant has not heard anything from the league on a potential suspension and is expected to be on the practice field for the start of training camp on Thursday, according to sources. He will work as a deep-ball specialist with his new team in 2018 and has a chance to […]

D'Onta Foreman's Week 1 Status Up In The Air

The Houston Texans are still unsure if running back D'Onta Foreman (Achilles) will be ready for Week 1. He's on the active Physically Unable to Perform list to start training camp. "Work in progress right now, recovering from this injury," Texans general manager Brian Gaine said as the AFC South franchise arrived at The Greenbrier […]

Jets Open To Trading Teddy Bridgewater

The New York Jets are open to trading quarterback Teddy Bridgewater, but it will depend on if there is a market for him. A lot will depend on how Bridgewater fares in training camp and the preseason. He impressed teammates and coaches in the spring and moved well in non-contact drills two years removed from […]

Sam Darnold Has A Shot To Start In Week 1

New York Jets rookie quarterback Sam Darnold has a realistic shot to win the starting job heading into Week 1 over veteran Josh McCown and Teddy Bridgewater. It's pretty much his job to win. Of the last 10 quarterbacks drafted in the top 10 dating back to 2012, six have started on opening day. He […]

Alshon Jeffery Placed On PUP

The Philadelphia Eagles placed wide receiver Alshon Jeffery (shoulder) on the active Physically Unable to Perform list on Thursday. Jeffery had offseason shoulder surgery, but he should be fine for the start of the regular season. He finished as the No. 15 fantasy wideout in 2017 in standard leagues, but his numbers left a little […]

Jason Garrett Not On The Hot Seat

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said that head coach Jason Garrett is not on the hot seat entering the 2018 season and that this isn't a "playoffs or bust" year for the head coach. Garrett is entering his eighth full season and holds a 67-53 record during that time with two playoff appearances. He also […]

Earl Thomas Prepared To Hold Out During Season

There is belief around the league that Seattle Seahawks free safety Earl Thomas is prepared to sit out through training camp and into the regular season. Thomas won't play without a new deal or a trade, and there is "zero chance" Seattle will give him a contract extension. It's a messy situation that appears likely […]

Aaron Donald May Be Willing To Hold Out During Season

There is belief around the league that Los Angeles Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald will not play another down on his current contract. His holdout is likely to last until he receives a new deal. That wouldn't be good for the Rams defense as a whole, but we doubt the Rams will let Donald hold […]

Jon Gruden, Khalil Mack Haven't Been In Contact

Oakland Raiders head coach Jon Gruden and defensive end Khalil Mack haven't spoken once since Gruden was hired as the new head coach in January. It's an interesting development for a player that is holding out for a new contract. Mack is the most important player on the defense and is looking to break the […]

Tyler Eifert Expected To Start On PUP List

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Tyler Eifert (back) is expected to begin training camp on the Physically Unable to Perform list, according to a source. Eifert tweaked his back in the spring but has been feeling good. Nobody should be shocked. In five seasons in the NFL, he's never played a full season and has played […]

Tre Boston Signs Deal With Cardinals

The Arizona Cardinals have signed safety Tre Boston to a one-year deal with the team. After leading the chargers with five interceptions in 2017, Boston is expected to replace Tyrann Mathieu in the Cardinals defense. Boston has worked with head coach Steve Wilks before; if he is able to master the team's scheme, he could […]

Adam Jones Will Try Out For Browns Friday

The Cleveland Browns will try out free-agent cornerback Adam Jones on Friday, according to a tweet from ESPN's Adam Schefter. Jones most recently played for the Cincinnati Bengals but they declined to pick up his option this spring. Jones is now 34 and would presumably compete with T.J. Carrie and rookie Denzel Ward for starting […]

Stacy McGee Put On PUP List

Washington Redskins defensive lineman Stacy McGee will be placed on the Physically Unable to Perform list. He had a procedure in May to deal with a groin injury. He signed a five-year deal with the team last off-season. He responded with the most combined tackles in a season of his career though his sacks dropped […]

Josh Holsey To Go On PUP List

Washington Redskins cornerback Josh Holsey injured his foot Wednesday. A glass table fell on his foot and the coaches say that he will be placed on the Physically Unable to Perform list. The Redskins also placed Holsey on the Non-Football Injury list on Wednesday. He only had two tackles in 2017 but the team had […]

Julio Jones To Report To Training Camp

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones will report to training camp with the rest of the Falcons on Thursday. A deal was struck between the two sides late Wednesday. The full terms of the deal are not yet known but Jones is happy and the Falcons are still able to get deals done with other […]

Cowboys Not Expecting Terrance Williams To Be Suspended

The Dallas Cowboys aren't expecting wide receiver Terrance Williams to be hit with a suspension by the league. Williams could be the No. 2 receiver behind Allen Hurns with Dez Bryant no longer in town, but you can do much better in fantasy leagues. The 28-year-old has struggled with drops in his career and is […]

Christian McCaffrey Set For Much Bigger Workload

Carolina Panthers head coach Ron Rivera said that getting running back Christian McCaffrey the ball 25 to 30 times a game would be "ideal." That might be feasible if McCaffrey was the do-everything back, but the Panthers brough C.J. Anderson in through free agency to be the early-down back, so it's unlikely McCaffrey sees that […]

Falcons Hoping To Get Something Done With Julio Jones

The Atlanta Falcons are "hopeful" of getting something done with wide receiver Julio Jones, who is holding out of training camp, according to a team source. Both sides have been discussing a contract extension for a while now. Something could get worked out before the start of the regular season. The veteran Jones disappointed fantasy […]

Brandon Graham Likely To Start On PUP

Philadelphia Eagles defensive end Brandon Graham (ankle) is likely to start training camp on the Physically Unable to Perform list, according to sources. Graham had surgery on his ankle in May after playing with a sprained ankle in the Super Bowl. The 30-year-old had 47 tackles and a career-high 9.5 sacks for Philly last year. […]

Corey Coleman Will Start If Josh Gordon Isn't Available

Cleveland Browns head coach Hue Jackson said wide receiver Corey Coleman would start opposite Jarvis Landry if Josh Gordon isn't available. It basically confirms what we already know: that Coleman is third on the depth chart behind Gordon and Landry. However, rookie Antonio Callaway is healthy and could pass up Coleman during the season if […]

Cameron Meredith Won't Go On PUP

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Cameron Meredith (knee) will not start training camp on the Physically Unable to Perform list, according to head coach Sean Payton. The team will play it smart with Meredith during practices, though, and will manage his workload. Meredith sat out all of last year but had 66 catches for 888 […]
