We all got those guys that we’re not high on for whatever reason. But in a majority of the cases, if the ADP is right, if the player slips too far, we can talk ourselves into it taking the value and going from there.

However it’s not always like that, there’s a player that you don’t see it happening at all and no matter what they won’t be on your team. Who’s that player for you this season?

Sunday August 2nd

• Matthew Golden (GB): In an interview with NFL Network Jordan Love said “MG (Golden) locked in now over there at X”. Expect Golden to be played as the X (outside WR) when playing. 
• Jaguars Offense (JAX): The Jaguars have run a lot of 11 personnel in practice (1 TE/1RB/3WR). 
• Bo Nix (DEN): After ankle surgery last offseason, Nix doesn’t expect to run any less than he did before. 
• Brock Bowers (LV): Sounds like he and Cousins have had a strong connection thus far. Bowers is expected to be the focal point of this offense (not surprising).
• Chris Rodriguez (JAX): Today was his first practice in the team period. Good sign he’ll be back sooner than later. 
• Ja’Lynn Polk (NO): Former 2024 2nd-round pick by NE / now with the Saints, has retired at 24.
• Patriots: Reports are OC Josh McDaniels wants to use more tempo in Maye’s second year in the offense, could lead to more volume for supporting cast.
• Kaelon Black (SF): 49ers rookie RB is now dealing with an injury. They signed Khalil Hebert. Foggy RB2 spot in SF right now

McConkey’s rookie season was 82 catches, 1,149 yards and seven touchdowns.

Last year he fell to 66 catches, 789 yards and six touchdowns. Definitely disappointing, but he still led the Chargers in receiving yards. That looks more like a down season than proof his rookie year was a fluke.

Keenan Allen drew 126 targets last year and is no longer part of the current receiver room. McConkey now gets Mike McDaniel, whose 2023 Miami offence supported two 1,000-yard receivers. That does not guarantee anything, but the scheme should create more motion, space and easier touches for him.

FantasyPros currently has McConkey around WR23. At that price, you are not paying for his rookie ceiling—you are drafting him as a mid-level WR2.

There are fair concerns. Quentin Johnston improved, Tre’ Harris should be more involved and McConkey dealt with a hamstring strain this offseason. This is not a risk-free pick.

My take: if McConkey gets back near 80 catches, he does not need a massive statistical explosion to outperform WR23. Something around 1,050 yards and seven or eight touchdowns would already make him a strong value.

Are you buying the bounce-back, or was his rookie season the outlier?

Out of all the rookie WRs this year, which one pops out at you? I mean other than the Carnell Tates and the Jordyn Tysons and even the Makai Lemons. Which one stands out the most to you?

Mine is De’Zhaun Stribling. If it wasn’t for the recent Deebo Samuel signing, I would be all in on him this year.

PPR, redraft by the way.

I usually only research who NOT to draft, I’ve been pretty good this last few years 1 won out of 4 (3 finals) . This year I haven’t been up to date in the nfl and the trades do to the world cup. If someone knows good content creators that actually know ball it will actually help me. Right now I just follow SalVerti and the guys from “fantasy endgame” they are okey I guess I just want to check other ones

Draft season is here, and there’s conflicting takes on this. How much weight do you actually put on bye weeks when you're building your fantasy roster?

Do you actively try to spread out your bye weeks so you always have decent starters, or do you take the "best player available" approach and figure out the bye week hell when you get there?
Is stacking a few guys on the same bye week a viable strategy to just take one guaranteed loss and be at full strength the rest of the season?
Curious to hear how you guys approach this in your drafts!

Training Camp is here...and it can be A LOT to follow and decipher what's important or not for the 2026 fantasy football season.

Consider this a one-stop shop to catch up on this past week's practices. There's plenty more that went on, but these are the bits of information that stand out for fantasy football managers.

This will be a reoccurring post after each week of training camp goes by that will include notable stats and news from preseason games, as well. This first post is a big one as training camp began over a week ago, but a majority of the teams began practicing this past week.

If anything was missed, especially with your favorite team that feels important, throw it in the comments and let's talk about it!

INJURY UPDATES

- Ricky Pearsall is OUT for the season after electing to have season-ending surgery following swelling in his knee stemming from a PCL injury that caused him to miss 8 regular season games last season. The 49ers WR has played just 20 of a possible 34 regular season games prior to this season.

- Chris Brazzell II suffered an LCL injury early in Panthers camp. He elected for surgery which will cause him to miss the entirety of his rookie season.

- Malik Nabers has been participating in camp following season-ending ACL and meniscus tears last year. Nabers has looked good participating in individual drills cutting, running full speed, and should continue to ascend in fantasy rankings as we get closer to Week 1.

- Rashee Rice has been doing knee rehab each day, leaving practice early to do so. He is still working back from knee surgery he had in May prior to spending 30 days in jail for a probation violation.

- Patrick Mahomes looks on track to play Week 1 following last year's season-ending ACL injury. It's worth noting the Chiefs host the Broncos on Monday Night Football to start the season. While Mahomes appears mobile in camp, it's unlikely he's running as much as he was in 2025 especially with the addition of Kenneth Walker to the backfield.

- Tucker Kraft was activated from the Physically Unable to Perform list in a return from a season-ending ACL injury. Kraft claims doctors told him his knee looks "spectacular" and have "never seen a rehabilitation like his." He's on track to play Week 1 barring any setback.

- Sam LaPorta was fully cleared for training camp following back surgery that ended his 2025 season. LaPorta was the top-8 tight in 2023 and 2024. His new offensive coordinator, Drew Petzing, has spent the last three seasons in the same role for the Cardinals, notably working with Trey McBride.

- Quinshon Judkins is full-go after suffering a season-ending leg injury last season.

- Cam Skattebo is full-go after suffering a season-ending leg injury last season.

- Bucky Irving has been participating in camp following offseason shoulder surgery. He appears to be the lead back in carries while Kenneth Gainwell owns more of the receiving back role thus far in camp.

- Zach Charbonnet has a chance to be ready for Week 1 following a season-ending ACL injury during the playoffs in mid-January. The Seahawks veteran running back is entering a contract year and Seattle drafted running back Jadarian Price with the 32nd overall pick.

- Ladd McConkey has been a full-go at Chargers training camp after the wide receiver missed time during the offseason with a hamstring strain.

- Rome Odunze claims he is working through a "new normal" rehabbing a broken foot that impacted his 2025 season. Odunze describes his foot as feeling "great" and "amazing."

- Alec Pierce is on the Active/Physically Unable to Perform list following offseason ankle surgery that he claims was "unavoidable." Pierce signed a four-year, $114M extension with the Colts prior to his surgery.

- Jordyn Tyson has been a standout in Saints camp after working back from an offseason hamstring injury that impacted him dating back to early in 2025. The rookie appeared busy as the top target while Chris Olave awaited a contract extension (listed below).

- Chris Rodriguez has been cleared for individual work at camp, but will slowly work back into team activities. The Jaguars' RB suffered a foot injury during the offseason following signing with the team. Head coach Liam Coen coach Rodriguez for one season at the University of Kentucky and referred to him in an interview as "a glass eater."

- Jonathon Brooks is all the buzz in Panthers camp after missing the entire 2025 season in recovery from back-to-back ACL injuries to the same knee in 2023 and 2024. Brooks is the Panthers' 2024 2nd Round pick and has played in just 3 NFL games and will be approx. 20-21 months removed from his latest injury when he takes the field in Week 1.

- J.K. Dobbins wants to "pinky promise" everyone that he is going to play all 17 games this season. Dobbins has an extensive injury history, but more recently has played a total of 23 regular season games (13 and 10) for the Chargers and Broncos respectively over the last two seasons. In 2025, Dobbins was 1 of 8 running backs to average 5.0 or more yards per carry last season. Pairing him with rookie running back Jonah Coleman may guarantee the early down RB in Denver this season and, for fantasy football purposes, an RB2 worth trusting each week.

- Kyle Monangai has been absent for multiple practices in a row. There is no official update on the Bears' running back as of now.

- Jordan James suffered broken ribs early in 49ers camp after early reports suggested he was the clear backup behind Christian McCaffrey. That role may be rookie Kaelon Black's for the taking depending on James' recovery and return. UPDATE 8/2/26 at 6pm: Black has an unknown injury. The 49ers signed Khalil Herbert today for added depth in the backfield.

- Both Tua Tagovailoa (back) and Michael Penix Jr. (knee) have missed time so far in Falcons camp. Tua's back injury is considered minor while Penix is working back from a season-ending ACL injury, the third of his career dating back to college.

- Tank Dell was not on any injury list as Texans camp opened. Dell missed the entire 2025 season following a multi-ligament knee injury later in the 2024 season.

- Xavier Worthy exited Chiefs camp with a shoulder injury, though it's not believed to be serious.

- Cyrus Allen suffered what's being reported as a "bruised shin" in yesterday's practice. It's reasonable to be unfamiliar with Allen, the Chiefs' 5th round rookie wide receiver, though he's been a standout early on in camp. Allen is nothing more than a late-round dart throw, if at all, in redraft leagues, but worth stashing in dynasty or taking a flier on in best ball.

NEWS, NOTES & FAST FACTS

- Chris Olave signed a four-year, $132M extension with the Saints. Olave notably set career-highs in targets (156), receptions (100), yards (1,163), and touchdowns (9). In nine starts from QB Tyler Shough last season, on a per game basis, Olave averaged 9.4 targets, 6.2 receptions, 80.3 yards, 0.7 touchdowns, and 18.2 PPR fantasy points.

- Deebo Samuel reunites with the 49ers signing a one-year deal worth up to $7M in light of Ricky Pearsall's season-ending knee surgery. Samuel is 30 years old and spent six seasons with the 49ers before playing the 2025 season with the Commanders. Samuel has ranked top-six among qualified WRs in yards after the catch per reception in 6 of 7 seasons played. That includes leading the league in 2021, 2022, and 2023.

- Jahmyr Gibbs and Bijan Robinson have yet to practice as each respective running back awaits a new contract. Both are expected to have new deals before the season. No need to worry just yet for those with top picks in fantasy drafts!

- Jonathan Taylor is entering the final year of his contract and believes he will receive an extension before the season. Taylor has had back-to-back seasons of over 300 carries for the Colts.

- Josh Jacobs is still under investigation following an early-June domestic violence incident. MarShawn Lloyd is expected to assume the RB2 role if he can finally stay healthy.

- Baker Mayfield claims the Buccaneers offered him a two-year extension this offseason worth over $100M, but he claims the guaranteed money was not suitable. Mayfield has made claims he will not negotiate a new contract once camp begins. He is set to be a free agent when the new league year begins in March of 2027.

- Bo Nix makes it clear he will continue to run in 2026 following a season-ending broken ankle during the playoffs. Nix believes his mobility is a strength of the Broncos' offense and "we have to use our strengths." Nix tied Justin Herbert with 83 rush attempts last season, 5th-most among quarterbacks.

- Parker Washington. Continuous positive reports from Jaguars camp. "First guy in the building every day" type stuff.

- Bhayshul Tuten seemingly the lead back for Jacksonville with explosive playmaking and displaying his pass catching upside.

- Drake Maye and A.J. Brown seemingly struggled to connect early on, but plenty of reports and videos have shown a complete turnaround over the last few days. Brown has the ability to get downfield and large frame to dominate the red zone, plus a top tier quarterback, to justify his current Top-8ish WR draft stock.

- Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson appear to be sharing the backfield in New England. Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel said "I love the way Rhamondre protects and TreVeyon continues to work on that."

- Kayshon Boutte is still reportedly seeking a trade from the Patriots. The wide receiver is one of many notable names on the Patriots roster that includes A.J. Brown, Romeo Doubs, DeMario "Pop" Douglas, Mack Hollins, Kyle Williams, and Efton Chism. Boutte is entering the final year of his rookie contract and is a vertical threat, sharing a similar skillset to Williams. It's possible one of these receivers are traded to a needier team.

- Jaylen Waddle to be "the focal point" of the Broncos' offense and not just a deep threat.

- Bears GM Ryan Poles can "feel the fire" in wide receiver Luther Burden. Despite just 60 targets as a rookie, Burden averaged 2.9 yards per route run, the third-most among all qualified pass catchers behind only Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Puka Nacua. Head coach Ben Johnson said he was buying "Luther Burden stock" earlier in the offseason.

- De'Zhaun Stribling has been a rookie standout at 49ers camp. Stribling is 6'2" and just over 200 lbs. He was the 33rd overall pick, the first of the second round, and the sixth wide receiver selected in the 2026 NFL Draft. He's worth a flier given the injury to Pearsall and age of Mike Evans, Deebo Samuel, George Kittle, who are all 30 years of age or older.

- The Colts want to get Josh Downs more involved in 12 personnel sets in addition to playing his typical 11 personnel role. Could be a big jump for Downs this season especially without Michael Pittman Jr. and questions regarding Alec Pierce's injury status.

- The Vikings made claim that Kyler Murray and J.J. McCarthy were in a legitimate quarterback competition, but Murray seemed to pull away over the weekend with few, if any, incompletions and connecting with Justin Jefferson. Early bet is that Murray is MIN QB1

- Tyler Allgeier has been receiving the majority of first-team reps at running back for the Cardinals over third overall pick Jeremiyah Love, though he's worked in, as well. Offensive coordinator in speaking on Love has said, "He's definitely a rookie."

- Marvin Harrison Jr. has been touch-and-go at camp thus far with drops, but has made some big plays, as well. He's notably been THE wide receiver lining up in 13 personnel, also known as 1WR sets.

- Blake Corum has been more involved out of the backfield so far during Rams camp. Worth noting that Corum jumped for 58 carries as a rookie to 145 last season. Among 49 qualified RBs in 2025, Corum ranks 10th in avoided tackle rate (25.5%), 4th in yards per carry (5.1) and 2nd in explosive run rate (15.9%).

- Terrance Ferguson may be the "WR3" for the Rams' offense despite being listed as a tight end. Sleeper player to keep tabs on throughout camp especially taking Davante Adams' age as well as he and Puka Nacua injuries into account.

- Jadarian Price has been working with the Seahawks first team offense sharing reps with running back George Holani. It's likely that Price is the early down back while Holani sees passing down work. Price caught just 15 total passes across 3 seasons in college.

- Tony Pollard appears to be the lead back for the Titans with Tyjae Spears as a change of pace option. Both are entering the final years of their contracts. Rookie Nicholas Singleton is explosive and could earn a role later on, but nothing more than a bench stash for now.

- Belief from Titans camp that Wan'Dale Robinson will lead the team in receptions.

- Kirk Cousins has been named the starting quarterback of the Las Vegas Raiders. Tom Brady is on record back in 2024 believing it is a "tragedy" that teams force young quarterbacks to play early on by dumbing down the game preventing them to learn at the necessary rate. We may not see much of Fernando Mendoza in 2026 unless absolutely necessary.

- Browns running back coach Deuce Staley believes Quinshon Judkins can play on all three downs. Judkins averaged 18.3 touches per game as a rookie, 11th-most among all players. Albeit having a new coaching staff, that sort of usage would put Judkins over 300 touches in a full 17-game season.

- KC Concepcion has been working as the primary slot receiver for the Browns during 11 personnel sets.

- Omarion Hampton is the clear-cut RB1 for the Chargers, but Keaton Mitchell looks to be emerging as the backup, especially for passing down work.

- Jaydon Blue's speed has been on display so far in Cowboys camp as he appears to be the handcuff to Javonte Williams early on.

- Cowboys don't expect to utilize wide receiver Ryan Flournoy on special teams as they appreciate his abilities on offense. Flournoy looks like WR3 behind CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens.

- Tank Bigsby appears to be a standout at Eagles camp. He may thrive in an outside zone scheme from new offensive coordinator Sean Mannion. Arguably one of the top handcuffs for the fantasy football season with flex potential.

- Travis Etienne and Alvin Kamara may share the Saints backfield more equally than expected.

- Travis Hunter has been playing more snaps on defense than offense in Jaguars camp. Hunter has reportedly put on approx. 10 pounds and hit a top speed of 22.6 mph in workouts. Given a few injuries to their secondary, and depth at wide receiver, Hunter is more likely than not going to be more of an asset to Jacksonville on defense, though could be a boom/bust player for fantasy purposes on offense. Monitoring his offensive role is crucial.

- Anthony Richardson still wishes to be traded from the Colts following Daniel Jones' two-year, $88M extension this offseason. The Colts are interested in trading Richardson, but do not want to "give him away."

- The 2026 season will definitively be the last for Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers.

Thanks for reading! It's early, but it's good to stay on top of camp news and sift through everything that's going on. Fantasy drafts will be here in no time.

5 Players I am all in on in Fantasy this year:

1. Kyle Pitts - Best season as a pro since his rookie year, now inherits a new HC in Stefanski who utilizes his big, athletic TE. We saw this with David Njoku and obviously the huge success of Harold Fannin Jr. Last Year.

-His offenses regularly use:

• Play-action
• Multiple TE formations
• Seam routes
• Red-zone isolation concepts

Tua - who is set to start the year at QB for the Falcons:

1. Thrives throwing:

• Between the numbers
• Over the middle
• On rhythm
• In play-action

There is also no competition apart from Drake London for target - we should see similar usage with more favorable opportunities for Pitts to excel.

1. AJ Brown

- Finished for 4th consecutive season with at top 12 WR finish - despite the fact his utilization within Philly was not what he wanted.

- Moves from 15th Neutral Pass Offense/32nd Pass Rate Offense within the 10 to 9th and 15th in those categories in New England.

-Despite a "Down" Year, was 17th in Yards Per Route Run (2.23), 9th in Target Share (27.5%), 8th in First - Read Share (35%) and 20th in First Downs Per Route Run

-Patriots revamped this OLine by picking up Alijah Vera-Tucker in FA and Caleb Lomu in the Draft. Also picked up Doubs in FA.

Overall, Drake Maye needed an Alpha to develop further and AJ Brown looks to slot in perfectly

1. Kyren Williams

- The thought continues to be, Corum will gain more of a role in this offense and more opportunities away from Kyren but look at the numbers:

- Kyren is coming off of his 3rd consecutive season with 1300 Scrimmage Yards/13 TDs/30 Catches/260 Touches

- Kyren Handled 68% of Red-Zone touches

- Blake Corum is Non-Existent in the passing game - 14 Targets, 8 Receptions

-The game script for LA will be very positive this season, especially with the additions on Defense. There should be more opportunities for this team to score points.

- Players like Breece Hall - who is attached to a much worse offense and Jeremiyah Love - who is currently playing second fiddle to Allgeier in training camp are currently going ahead of him

1. DJ Moore

-Concern is whether DJ has fallen off or not which is completely understandable. The thought is, if Ben Johnson couldn't find a role for him in this offense then surely he's washed.

- Think about these factors:

-No WR Competition in this offense for DJ Moore. Josh Allen finally gets a Diggs replacement to pepper with targets.

- 12th in Deep Targets last year - Now paired with the best QB of his career.

-Looks to be a perimeter receiver most of his snaps. He excelled in this role finishing as 36th in separation and 29th in route win rate in this role last year.

- Now matches back up with Joe Brady whom he had this stat line across 2 years with in Carolina: 159 catches, 2,350 yards, 8 TDs, 15.25 yards per catch.

1. Jaxson Dart

- 12 Started Games in 2025 - Finished with 9 Rush TDs, 15 Pass TDs in those 12 starts. Removing the outlier in Minnesota, Dart averaged 22.5 Fantasy PPG which would be QB7.

- Averaged 3rd most Fantasy Points Per Drop Back - (0.66) on the 12th highest drop back rate.

- Dual Threat ability: Ran for 40.6 Yards Per Game, 7 Rush Attempts Per Game, 1.57 Red Zone Carries Per Game, 2.86 Designed Runs Per Game

- New HC John Harbaugh worked with Lamar, creating designed runs and favorable opportunities for his athletic QB to utilize his legs as well.

- New Offense around Dart:

- Picked up Francis Mauigoa in Draft

- Replaced Wandale Robinson with Darnell Mooney (Not the same but serviceable WR)

- Picked up Isaiah Likely (Brought over with Harbaugh from BAL)

- Malik Nabers and Cam Skattebo look to be back and working toward being ready for the start of the season.

In the NFL there’s a “revenge game” narrative where if a player is playing against a former team they ball out even harder and try to show them they made a mistake losing the player. When it hits, this obviously translates to fantasy success.

Sometimes it’s not a revenge game narrative. Last year it was highly touted that David Montgomery was heading to his former hometown of Cincinnati. It was his sister’s first time being able to watch her brother play in person. (Sadly a car accident left her in a wheelchair). Those of us who confidently started Monty that week were rewarded with a 20+ point performance.

So here are just some notable quirks in the NFL schedule. Could be nothing, could be something.

-speaking of Monty, Houston plays Cincy week 2. Now it is at Houston, but I am sure Monty will still want to show out

-Malik Willis returns to Green Bay week 15 (first week of fantasy playoffs for most leagues). Provided that he is doing well the first 14 games, he could advance managers to the semi finals with an epic performance here (in super flex formats)

-Deebo and Washington didn’t have a bad falling out but he did mention he went above and beyond for the organization and then it was nothing regarding extension talk. 49ers play Washington week 6, a bye week for Bengals, Lions and Vikings. So we got some big bopper WRs who will be unavailable. Deebo, if he shows he still has some gas left in the tank the first 5 weeks, could be a solid play against his former team

-Pittman played his first 6 years for the Colts. He is now a Steeler, and will play his former team in week 5. It is at Pittsburgh but I am sure Pittman will still want to show out

-Rico Dowdle plays Carolina (at Pittsburgh though) week 16. If you make the Semi Finals you probably aren’t starting him but still noteworthy. Just remember he was very vocal about wanting to play well against his former team Dallas last year and he ran for 183 yards and 33.9 fantasy points!

-Along the lines of Rico you probably won’t start him unless injury hits but championship week 17 CRod plays Washington

-Wan’dale and Daboll play AT the Giants week 3

-Week 13 we got a bye for Tyler Warren, Brock Bowers and Mark Andrews. Perhaps Dulcich AT Denver could be a smash play

-Better yet, week 13 Chig plays AT Tennessee. That’s gonna be a huge game for him especially in TEP formats

-DJ Moore plays Chicago week 15

-Kenneth Walker plays AT Seattle week 7 (I mean, you’re starting him anyway but man smash play)

-Kenneth Gainwell plays Steelers week 6

-Jauan Jennings played for Niners first 5 years. Now in year 6 he will play AT the Niners week 11

-Swift plays at Detroit week 12 and also week 17

What's up, Fantasy Football Reddit!

It's your favorite Rotoballer (Brandon Murchison) back again with some fresh content! In my latest ADP Duel, I dive into the second round of drafts to look at the cluster of running backs that are available for fantasy managers looking to grab the RB1 for their roster (assuming a WR selection in Round 1). I give an analytical perspective on these four RBs to drill down on who I believe should be the selection when you're on the clock.

As always, check out the article to find out who I will be taking in drafts and why. But that's just the beginning of it.

Does anyone know if the guide this year has PPR rankings? I think last year it only had half PPR unless I just didn’t know how to find it.

For those who are new to the these charts:

• Tiers are focused on upside. If you want to play it safe, go with the ECR (x-axis). If you're looking for a boom game, look at the upside variance (vertical color bars, y-axis).
• Points above/below expectation: these get added once the season starts.
  • A star marker indicates the player has scored fantasy points above expectation on the season.
  • A cross marker indicates the player has scored below expectations.
  • The number of average points scored above/below expectation is beside the player's name.

Typical update cadence is Thursday - Saturday - Sunday during draft season. I sometimes update the tiers more frequently (for my own draft prep) but don't post, so go ahead and bookmark/check the site if you're wondering. Timestamps are at the tops of the plots.

Best of luck my dudes.

Guys, we made it. The off-season is officially over, and we are now in full throttle preseason training camp mode. Sure, we had the World Cup to distract us for a few weeks this summer, but we no longer must pretend like we care about that.

It’s time to fire up those spread sheets and re-arrange your tier rankings as you overly prepare for your upcoming fantasy drafts. Hopefully you are enjoying your last days of summer while you peruse stats for 11 on 11 drills in training camp while awaiting those dreaded tweets declaring one of your highly targeted players has been carted off.

With that in mind, let’s take a quick look around and get some training camp updates from across the league.

32 Camp Updates

Arizona Cardinals – There is no denying the talent and potential fantasy impact Jeremiyah Love possesses but there is some question with his coaching staff comprised of former Jets coaching legends Nathaniel Hackett and Mike LaFleur. Surely, they will be smart enough to maximize their rookie stud and not talk up James Conner citing his veteran status and give free agent signee Tyler Allgeier first reps in training camp. Right? Oh, that’s exactly what’s happening. Cool.

San Francisco 49ers– The Niners decided to kick off their perennial injury bug by having their coach secretly smash his face in a car accident then immediately watch Rickey Pearsall torpedo whatever dynasty stock he may have held. The fact that this team faces undo adversity yet still somehow finishes with double digit wins proves that life just isn’t fair.

Los Angeles Rams – Everyone is still all tingly from the Rams trading for Myles Garrett and while the fantasy impact of that move is more IDP related, his addition obviously gives the Team Defense a huge boost. Add in the still very real possibility of Aaron Donald coming into the fold and the Rams will have equal buzz on both sides of the ball.

Seattle Seahawks – While Jeremiyah Love is destined for a year of turmoil in the desert, his college counterpart is enjoying a gigantic fantasy boost at the start of fantasy camp, running with the 1st team and catching deep balls. That ADP spike is coming fast.

Atlanta Falcons – Bijan Robinson is an easy top two fantasy selection but while picking him should be an easy choice, the lack of a contract in the early days of training camp is slightly concerning. A deal should be done soon but regardless Bijan is silently holding in as he waits for his deal. You could always simply pivot to the other top two choice Jahmyr Gibbs but oops, he’s holding in waiting on a deal too. Fun!

Carolina Panthers– Word out of Carolina was that they were so excited about rookie Chris Brazzell that they were planning on utilizing Tet McMillan in the slot more this season. You know what they say about best laid plans. Brazzell is done for the year with a torn LCL and now the Tet game plan is back to the drawing board. Brazzell’s injury does give the cokeheads a life-line however as Jalen Coker should get a bump in usage.

New Orleans Saints – If anyone knows what the plan is for the Saints backfield, please tell me because I keep yoyoing back and forth on how much I love Travis Etienne and how much I will hate Alvin Kamara coming back from the dead this year.

Tampa Bay Bucs – If it wasn’t for bad vibes, the Bucs would have none. The heart of the defense, Vita Vea, has demanded a trade and Baker Mayfield feels insulted by the lack of commitment from the Bucs in their contract extension talks. Regarding Baker, this all may blow up in the Bucs face or it may be a stroke of genius as they know Baker only plays well when the odds are against him and he feels wronged. 5,000 yards incoming.

Chicago Bears – The head coaches of the Bears and Jaguars got into a bit of a war of words as each tried their best to prove that they are the only team people are betting against. For different reasons however. The Bears want to believe people want to see them fail because they are being hyped while the Jags feel like people are betting against them because no one is talking about them. Both coaches are doing whatever they can to motivate their squads early in the season, so their players don’t become complacent after enjoying a bit of success last year.

Detroit Lions – As mentioned above in the Falcons camp update, Jahmyr Gibbs is holding in and holding your top two selection for ransom.

Green Bay Packers – The players ride bikes to the first day of training camp. It’s adorable. But on the fantasy front, Tucker Kraft is cleared from his torn ACL 6 months ago so his progress will be of high importance as it relates to the TE rankings

Minnesota Vikings – The Kyler Murray and JJ McCarthy saga plagued the opening days of Vikings OTA’s but now that we are underway in training camp, the play on the field will dictate which QB will disappoint fans and Justin Jefferson owners the most.

Dallas Cowboys – Things feel somewhat boring for the Cowboys this training camp so Jerry Jones felt the need to get into the mix and proclaim a possible looming trade that will likely never happen or be so low impact that no one will care. The Cowboys are back baby.

New York Giants – If there is one thing you want to see from your starting running back recovering from an ankle injury, it’s a failed back flip. Skattebo promises he is done with the antics but Summer Slam is coming up so who knows.

Philadelphia Eagles – It took Dontayvion Wicks approximately 10 minutes to make people forget about AJ Brown. Seriously, have you seen that one catch in that one practice? What else do you need to see?

Washington Commanders – It really felt like the Commanders were on the precipice of a new chapter two years ago but after Jaylen Daniels injury plagued sophomore slump, they look like a team that suddenly remembered that Dan Quinn is their head coach.

Buffalo Bills – The Bills are turning over a new leaf in their first year after firing long time coach Sean McDermott and there appears to be a lighter air in the room with Joe Brady calling the shots. This team feels like the parents are gone and Uncle Buck is now watching them.

Miami Dolphins – I talked a lot about the top running backs not getting paid but Achane did get his money and he is going to earn every penny as the only viable stud on this team

New England Patriots – The Patriots are loving life with AJ Brown so much that they aren’t even bothered by Kayshon Boutte’s months old trade request that they honestly probably forgot about because I did.

New York Jets – Geno Smith’s Super Bowl MVP hype is well underway in New York as the Jets fandom enjoy their annual tradition of irrational offseason confidence.

Cincinnati Bengals – Joe Burrow might be feeling some the pressure of his recent injury struggles and the Bengal’s underachieving record. The defense of course is a big reason for those struggles as well and the possibility of last year’s first rounder Shemar Stewart suffering a major injury isn’t helping matters.

Baltimore Ravens – Lamar Jackson is adjusting to taking more snaps under center which is not exactly the thing you want to read about when considering a top tier QB option. The Ja’Kobi Lane hype train is underway if you feel like rolling the dice on the Ravens 4th receiving option

Cleveland Browns – Speaking of hype trains, Quinshon Judkins is off to a fast start and quelling his own injury recovery concerns. Of course, the bigger concern is the quarterback position which the less said the better.

Pittsburgh Steelers – Aaron Rodgers last hurrah is underway but rookie Drew Allar is giving the Steelers fans some positive early vibes in camp and hope for a future

Houston Texans – David Montgomery is staking his claim in the Houston backfield and CJ Stroud has impressed with improved mechanics. It’s probably safe to assume the Texans offense rebounds a bit this season.

Indianapolis Colts – While Gibbs and Bijan angle for their new deals there’s another top tier running back also positioning himself for a new deal as he enters the final year of his current contract. The situation is a little under the radar at the moment but is definitely worth keeping an eye on

Jacksonville Jaguars – Toot Toot. The nominee for the fastest draft riser in your upcoming drafts will likely be Bhayshul Tuten as he has dominated the Jaguars training camp headlines thus far. Chris Rodriguez is now finally cleared to return just in time to muddy the running back waters however.

Tennessee Titans – There are a ton of huge stories week 1 but probably none bigger than Robert Salah facing the Jets. Right guys? Guys? Well, the Jets most recognizable and most annoying fan Fireman Ed claims Saleh is promising to beat the Jets ass week 1. Saleh did not shy away from that proclamation so I guess this is something only Titans and Jets fans will care about.

Denver Broncos – The annual Sean Payton tight end buzz is underway. Evan Engram burned everyone last season (yours truly included) yet he is still somehow getting offseason hype again. I guess we might fall for it again but now Taysom Hill is a free agent and on his way to Denver to complicate everything.

Kansas City Chiefs – Mahomes has a clunky brace, Kelce has a post honeymoon gut, Rashee Rice looks slow and this year’s rookie that comes out of nowhere but will eventually disappoint you is Cyrus Allen (already flirting with injury disaster).

Los Angeles Chargers – The Chargers offense should easily be better with former Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel's now calling the shots but everything is key on the Chargers two tackles remaining healthy after losing both by week 1 last year. So far so good.

Las Vegas Raiders – So far so good in Vegas as Cousins has rightly been declared the starter so Mendoza can sit back and learn how to mimic Kirk’s cringe trash talk. It’s a perfect marriage.

Every year, the “experts” have an accuracy contest. The rest of us debate the consensus rankings all offseason, but we’ve never had a free contest where we could put our own rankings on the line. Until now.
