Alshon Jeffery (muscle tightness) leaves practice early

Aug 03, 2016

Bears WR Alshon Jeffery left practice early with what coach John Fox described, via Adam Jahns of the Chicago Sun-Times, described as muscle tightness.

Fox isn’t known for being forthcoming with injury information, so it’s not a great surprise that he passed on the chance to share which muscle is bothering Jeffery although he did say that the heat was a consideration in shutting him down for the day.

Fantasy Impact:

As the story pointed out, this may not be a big deal with some players but given Jeffery's injury history over the past few years it's certainly something to keep an eye on.

Bills beat: Devin Singletary to be more involved in passing game in 2020

The Athletic

yesterday · 5:19 PM EDT

Joe Buscaglia: I believe the Bills would like to get Singletary more involved in the passing game this year, too. He’s an underrated route runner and his open-field vision makes him a potentially dangerous pass catcher. Singletary would likely draw the assignment of a linebacker or safety, and the Bills will like that matchup with how often he makes people miss.

Fantasy Impact:

Devin Singletary averaged 3.4 targets per game in 2019, but Buscaglia expects that number to rise in his sophomore season with the Bills. The Buffalo back is ranked as RB29 in half-PPR formats on 4for4.com and is leaving draft boards as a late-fourth to fifth-rounder.

PFT: NFL preseason to be cut in half

ProFootballTalk

2020 preseason has been cut in half, per source.
"Specifically, Week One and Week Four have been scrapped. The league is expected to announce the move on Thursday."

Fantasy Impact:

With the COVID-19 pandemic still very much in the mix, this is a no-brainer for the NFL. In Week 1 we don't usually see much from the starters and Week 4 is pretty useless from a fantasy-scouting perspective.
