Fantasy Football News

We've signed K Matt Ammendola and released K Sam Ficken.

Looks like the Jets are moving on from the K30 in fantasy points last season. Matt Ammendola will compete with Chris Naggar for the starting gig in New York.

I'm told the Wentz foot injury involves a bone and a ligament... Colts had been hoping for better news, are bracing for possible surgery

For now, Jacob Eason and rookie Sam Ehlinger are the only QBs behind Carson Wentz on the depth chart. It appears Wentz could need surgery which would lengthen a return timeline.

Miami Dolphins WR Will Fuller dealing with undisclosed injury to start training camp... Coach Brian Flores on him, plus his updates on guys starting camp on PUP list, including DeVante Parker, and the Xavien Howard situation.

This may not be a big deal, but considering Devante Parker and Preston Williams are already on the PUP list, his injury is worth monitoring.

Bill Belichick notes this morning that Damien Harris is in a different spot this year compared to last year. Can compete for the top role now. Kind of a rare admission from Belichick. Indication of how Harris is viewed in the building.

Damien Harris' stock has been slowly rising this summer, as he went from RB32 off boards in Underdog drafts in June to his recent spot at RB29 with an ADP of 85.2. Bill Belichick rarely gives much away and it's tough to take what he says too seriously, but Harris is in a great spot to lead the Patriots in carries in 2021 with a fantasy RB2 potential. The 24-year old is 4for4's 30th ranked RB in half-PPR formats.

Dak Prescott could miss a few weeks with shoulder injury —

So far it's just a strain and Dak Prescott's timetable to return is only a few weeks. His injury is certainly something to monitor in the coming week, but for now, Prescott is still considered a Top-5 fantasy QB.

A welcome-back gift for Aaron Rodgers: the Texans are trading former Packers’ WR Randall Cobb back to Green Bay, per Randall Cobb. Cobb has been a longtime favorite of Rodgers.

Randall Cobb spent his first eight seasons in Green Bay as Aaron Rodgers' main slot weapon. The trade is great news for Rodgers and Cobb, but not so great for rookie Amari Rodgers, who was assumed to be taking on the slot role in Green Bay in 2021. Consider Cobb a WR3/4.

Amongst those players placed on the PUP list today:
* Patriots OT Trent Brown and OLB Kyle Van Noy
* Washington WR Curtis Samuel
* Packers LT David Bakhtiari
* Chiefs OL Kyle Long

There's still plenty of time for Curtis Samuel to heal from his groin twinge, but it would be helpful for him to get in as many reps as he can with his new offense. Samuel is currently ranked as 4for4's WR30 in half-PPR formats and can come off the list at any time.

The Washington Football Team has agreed to terms on a three-year extension for TE Logan Thomas, sources say. After a breakout year in 2020 with 72 catches, the former QB who made a successful position switch gets paid.

Logan Thomas had a breakout year in 2020, ending as TE9 in half-PPR points per game. He may see less work this season with Ryan Fitzpatrick under center but is still in the starting TE conversations as 4for4's 12th ranked at the position.

The #Texans are now willing to listen — and have been for some time — to trade offers for star QB Deshaun Watson, multiple sources tell me and @RapSheet. But the price is high for a player of his caliber, and should be. It’d likely take at least three first-round picks and more.

After months of denying trade talks, we finally have some action from the Texans. Miami, Denver, and Philly have reported interest in Deshaun Watson, but it's still unclear what the NFL will do for any disciplinary action on his pending legal situation.

The #Bears are trading WR Anthony Miller to the #Texans, sources tell me and @RapSheet. Long rumored to be dealt, the former second-round pick gets a fresh start.

It's a fresh start for Anthony Miller, but this trade also shows the that Bears are confident in Darnell Mooney. Miller will have to get by Randall Cobb for slot work though, so expectations shouldn't be too high for Miller's fantasy season in 2021.
