Dolphins WR DeVante Parker practices in full

Sep 13, 2018

Parker was listed as a full participant on the Dolphins practice report Thursday.

Fantasy Impact:

Aside from Kenny Stills, the Dolphins wide receivers are a situation to avoid. Somebody may eventually emerge, but until we see some indication of who that is, Parker is best left on your bench. Unlike other non-Stills receivers in Miami, he should be owned in most leagues due to his theoretical upside.

Patriots place Demaryius Thomas (Achilles) on PUP list

Field Yates on Twitter

The New England Patriots have placed WR Demaryius Thomas (Achilles) on the Active/Physically Unable to Perform list to begin training camp, per Field Yates on ESPN.

Fantasy Impact:

Thomas is recovering from a torn Achilles suffered last December and signed a one-year deal with the Patriots in April. The once star receiver has now endured two torn Achilles and is on the downhill trend of his career at 31 years old. It's possible he is facing an uphill battle for a roster spot with the Patriots, who also spent a first-round pick on Arizona State's N'Keal Harry. The Patriots also have the option of placing Thomas on the reserve/PUP list, which would mean he will miss the first six games of the season. Thomas is currently ranked No. 115 among wide receivers.

RB Sony Michel (knee) begins camp on PUP list

The New England Patriots have placed RB Sony Michel (knee) on the Active/Physically Unable to Perform list to begin training camp, per Field Yates on ESPN.

Fantasy Impact:

The Patriots are likely playing it safe early on with Michel as camp begins, who had his knee scoped during the offseason. As with all players placed on the Active/PUP list, Michel can be taken off the list at any time and resume a normal practice schedule. Continue to draft Michel as you normally would. Michel is currently ranked No. 33 in standard formats among running backs, six spots behind James White at No. 27.

DeAndre Hopkins placed on Active/PUP list

The Houston Texans placed star wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (shoulder) on the Active/Physically Unable to Perform list to begin training camp, per Field Yates of ESPN.

Fantasy Impact:

The Texans also placed DE J.J. Watt on the PUP list, according to Yates. This is likely just a precautionary move for the Texans as they begin training camp, allowing Hopkins time to recover. The team can take either player off the list at any time. There should be no worry that Hopkins will be on the field when the Texans open on Monday night, September 9 against the New Orleans Saints.
