June 2020 4for4 Player News Articles

The @NFL advised teams that training camps are expected to begin as scheduled on July 28 with rookies and selected players permitted to report earlier.

So far so good in fantasy land. Let's hope things progress as planned.

It's a one-year "prove it" deal for Cam Newton, who missed most of 2019 with a foot injury. He completed 50-of-89 passes for one interception and no touchdowns while rushing five times for negative two yards. In 2018, he completed 67.9% of his passes and had a 24-to-13 touchdown-to-interception ratio while rushing for 35 yards a game. This looks like a great signing for the Patriots, who were obviously uncomfortable going into the season with Jarrett Stidham and/or Brian Hoyer as their only options. If Newton is fully healthy, he's a threat for QB1 numbers. He has five top 4 finishes in his career and has never finished outside the top 17 when he has played 14 or more games. The signing is good news for all of the New England offensive players (outside of Stidham/Hoyer, obviously).

#49ers WR Deebo Samuel suffered a broken foot on Tuesday during a throwing session with teammates in Nashville and will be having surgery today, I’m told. It is a Jones fracture, and he should be able to be on the field early in the season.

Primed for a solid WR2 season in San Francisco, Deebo Samuel's foot injury has him sidelined for 12-16 weeks. Hopefully, he's fully recovered in time to make a fantasy impact, but his ADP should take a decent dip in the weeks to come.

Pro-Bowl RB Dalvin Cook no longer will participate in any team-related activities until and unless he receives a “reasonable” deal, a source said Monday.

“He’s out,” a source told ESPN. “Without a reasonable extension, he will not be showing up for camp or beyond.”

Dalvin Cook is entering the last season on a four-year rookie deal and is expected to make just over $2 million in 2020. After posting 1,654 combined yards and 13 touchdowns in 2019, the 24-year old looking to get paid. According to Schefter, "the two sides, the Vikings and Cook, have not spoken since last week and have no further talks scheduled". Alexander Mattison and Mike Boone would see a big jump in fantasy rankings if Cook does miss playing time.
