Kadarius Toney Suits Up For Drills, Remains Limited

New York Giants wide receiver Kadarius Toney (hamstring) was able to put on pads and perform individual drills during Wednesday's practice, but he appears to still be limited by the hamstring injury that has slowed him this summer.

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~135 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~145 ANALYSIS: Drafted 88th overall in the NFL draft, Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Jalen Tolbert is the newest addition to this potent offense.

Mike Gesicki A Possible Trade Candidate

Miami Dolphins tight end Mike Gesicki has been productive over his last two seasons but was recently brought up in trade discussions.

The Penn State product has cleared […]

Kenneth Gainwell (RB, PHI) - 2022 Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~110 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~122 ANALYSIS: Kenneth Gainwell was a trending late-round sleeper going into drafts last year.

Mack Hollins The Favorite For No. 3 Job

The biggest news at Las Vegas Raiders training camp this summer has been wide receiver Mack Hollins seemingly winning the No. 3 receiver spot and the team releasing Demarcus Robinson.

D'Andre Swift Is Detroit's Best Playmaker

Detroit Lions third-year running back D'Andre Swift showed up to training camp in great shape and is focused on having the breakout season that the team thinks he can have in this offense.

Tony Pollard (RB, DAL) - 2022 Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~70 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~79 ANALYSIS: Make no mistake about it, Tony Pollard is Ezekiel Elliott's backup. That's been clear the past three seasons. The Cowboys continue to be hamstrung by Zeke's six-year, $90M contract extension signed back in 2019 and are essentially forced to give him most of the touches. […]

Darnell Mooney Has Been Impressive

The Athletic's Kevin Fishbain writes that Chicago Bears wide receiver Darnell Mooney has been the team's most impressive player in training camp. He was the No. 2 receiver last year behind Allen Robinson II, but this year he's the unquestioned No. 1, and there's a big drop-off to No. 2. Mooney has caught everything thrown […]

Dolphins Working Out Tre Flowers

The Miami Dolphins are working out veteran free-agent outside linebacker Trey Flowers on Wednesday, according to sources.

A.J. Brown Has Exceeded Expectations

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown has exceeded expectations in training camp after the team traded a first- and third-round pick to acquire him from the Tennessee Titans during this year's NFL draft.

Late-Round Draft Values: Running Backs for Fantasy Football

Once you reach the late rounds of drafts, everyone wants to draft high-upside fliers that can provide a great return on value.

It's essential to have […]

Josh Allen To Be Rested In Preseason Finale

The Buffalo Bills have decided to rest quarterback Josh Allen for their final preseason game on Friday against the Carolina Panthers. Allen got some time with the rest of the starters in the team's blowout win over the Denver Broncos last Saturday and looked to be in midseason form, so there's no reason for the […]

Carlos Carrasco Throws Bullpen Session

New York Mets starting pitcher Carlos Carrasco (oblique) said he felt "much, much better" after throwing a bullpen session on Tuesday. He's now scheduled to throw another bullpen on Friday. Carrasco was placed on the 15-day injured list with a strained left oblique last week, but he appears to be making good progress. He was […]

Jaylen Waddle (WR, MIA) - 2022 Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~35 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~42 ANALYSIS: Tyreek Hill is the flashiest new toy in town and so is his monster ADP of 24.5, barely past the second round in 12-team drafts. Meanwhile, Jaylen Waddle, the actually-proven, known quantity, who was the most productive player in Miami is often available at a much […]

Miami Marlins first baseman/outfielder Garrett Cooper (concussion) started a minor league rehab assignment with Single-A Jupiter on Tuesday.
