Dak Prescott Looking Leaner

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott was listed at 235 pounds in 2021, and he's now listed on the minicamp roster at 228. "Yeah, it hasn't changed from last year, just training a little bit different. Doing a lot more rotational things that I think just jumped some of the baby fat I guess off," Prescott […]

CeeDee Lamb Out With Hamstring Injury

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb (hamstring) was missing from the team's minicamp practices this week due to a minor hamstring injury.

One-Man Backfields to Target in Fantasy Football Drafts - Running Back Workehorses

We're talking about fantasy football here, and in fantasy, volume is the key to rostering and fielding a winning team. While everything boils down to that concept, seeking volume calls for looking deeper than just the name and reputation of players. Put a great running back in an RBBC backfield and his volume – and […]

Kyle Pitts Wants To Improve Pre-Snap

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts is reportedly feeling physically faster this offseason. Also, Pitts hopes to improve pre-snap heading into his sophomore campaign. That would certainly be a strong step forward for the young tight end. The hope is that the absence of Matt Ryan won't hurt Pitts' fantasy value. On paper, Pitts is […]

Matt Corral Showing Early Struggles

Carolina Panthers quarterback Matt Corral has been struggling in the early part of minicamp. The biggest concern is that Corral is having issues before the snap. Things such as getting the play called, identifying the defense, making checks. That being said, Sam Darnold is likely to open the season as the starting quarterback. The Panthers […]

Chigoziem Okonkwo Has Impressed Titans

Tennessee Titans tight end Chigoziem Okonkwo has reportedly impressed the team during passing drills. He is an elite athlete that put together solid numbers while at Maryland.

Year-Two Wide Receivers Ready to Break Out - Rashod Bateman, Rondale Moore, Nico Collins, Terrace Marshall

Last year's rookie class featured some good wide receivers. Ja'Marr Chase and Jaylen Waddle made quick impacts in the NFL, while guys like Elijah Moore and Amon-Ra St. Brown played well for their teams. Not every rookie wide receiver was instantly impactful. For some of those guys, it was a sign that they were heading […]

Wide Receiver Deeper Draft Sleepers - Zay Jones, Josh Palmer, Tim Patrick

In fantasy football, there are "sleepers," or players we expect to outproduce their average draft position (ADP), and then there are "deep sleepers." These deep sleepers aren't on many people's radar. They may be coming off of a down season or they may find themselves in a much different situation from a season ago. Either […]

The Deepest Dive - Wide Receiver Sleepers in 16+ Team Fantasy Football Leagues

Can you name every fantasy league you played in last season? Probably not. Can you think of their average structure? The most probable question is yes because most leagues are often comprised of eight to 12 teams with 15 roster spots each and use the now-standard PPR format of scoring. That is not always the […]

ADP Fallers at Quarterback - Deshaun Watson, Kenny Pickett, Drew Lock

I am going to start this column by introducing the concept of ADP, which I'm pretty sure you know what it is about.

Why You Should Buy Back in to Kyle Pitts in 2022

Perception is reality. You likely have heard that saying before and while it is often true – there is certainly one area where it is not: in fantasy football.

Rashod Bateman Could Thrive With New Mentality

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman is anticipated to be the No. 1 option at the position after the team traded Marquise Brown to Arizona.

Sides Divided On Handling Of Deshaun Watson Situation

Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson faces countless lawsuits from women who allege he sexually assaulted them. However, while this situation is far from over, there continues to be a divide throughout the league office regarding whether or not commissioner Roger Goodell should allow the signal-caller to suit up before pending litigation is completed.

Holdout Still Possible For Lamar Jackson

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson isn't ruling out a holdout. Both sides remain at a standstill regarding a new deal.

Lamar Jackson Wants To Play Entire Career With Ravens

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson, who said he's had contract talks with general manager Eric DeCosta this week, also said he'd like to finish his entire career with the Ravens. Jackson skipped voluntary organized team activities before joining the team for mandatory minicamp this week, but he said his absence at OTAs wasn't "contract-related." The […]

Gabriel Davis' Stock On The Rise

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Gabriel Davis continued to be a consistent target for quarterback Josh Allen at mandatory minicamp practice on Tuesday, and he is stepping back into a starting role as the No. 2 wideout after spending most of last year backing up veteran Emmanuel Sanders. Davis has caught 35 passes each of the […]

Curtis Samuel Limited At Minicamp

Washington Commanders wide receiver Curtis Samuel was limited at mandatory minicamp this week because head coach Ron Rivera and the training staff felt like he was in a "good spot" after what he did at organized team activities and last Tuesday's minicamp practice.

Marcus Davenport Has Pinkie Amputated

New Orleans Saints defensive end Marcus Davenport (finger, shoulder) had the top portion of his left pinkie finger amputated this offseason after breaking a plate from a previous surgery and experiencing an infection. He also had surgery on his right shoulder in January, but he's hoping to be healthy by training camp next month. Davenport […]

O.J. Howard Hasn't Looked Dynamic

Buffalo Bills backup tight end O.J. Howard hasn't looked like the dynamic pass-catcher he was when he was a first-round pick in 2017. The 6-foot-6, 250-pounder has still been consistent in his opportunities this offseason and he could be an excellent blocker for 12 personnel while being a pass-catching threat, but his movement skills are […]

Khalil Shakir May Struggle To Make An Impact

Buffalo Bills rookie wide receiver Khalil Shakir failed to reel in either of his two targets at mandatory minicamp practice on Wednesday, but he remains a solid route-runner who still needs some seasoning. It remains to be seen how Buffalo will use Shakir in his rookie season, but with how well Stefon Diggs, Gabriel Davis, […]

Isaiah McKenzie Could Become Primary Slot Weapon

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Isaiah McKenzie was quarterback Josh Allen's favorite weapon at mandatory minicamp practice on Wednesday.

McKenzie looked quick and shifty all day and was one of only three receivers that Allen […]

Los Angeles Chargers pass-rusher Khalil Mack (foot), who is coming off a foot injury that limited him to seven games last year with the Chicago Bears, will be ready for training camp next month, according to head coach Brandon Staley.

Joshua Palmer Works With First Team

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Joshua Palmer was on the field with Keenan Allen and Mike Williams and the first-team offense during mandatory minicamp practice this week.

Taysom Hill Rehabbing During Minicamp

New Orleans Saints head coach Dennis Allen said that quarterback Taysom Hill (foot) is rehabbing at the team's facilities during mandatory minicamp this week.
