The Rams got a scare when QB Matthew Stafford hit his throwing thumb on a helmet near the end of practice.

Fantasy Impact:

The tweet went on to say Stafford left the field with the thumb wrapped, but holding his helmet with that hand. "I don't know anything yet," coach Sean McVay said. "I think he'll be OK." We'll continue to update as we learn more. It's worth noting, as Modesti also added, Stafford had surgery last winter to repair a torn ligament in the thumb after hurting it in a November game, an injury he played through the rest of the Lions' season.

Broncos Beat: RB Javonte Williams showing promise

Even without the pads on, it's clear second-round pick Javonte Williams has the talent to be a dynamic player for Denver's offense.

His practice on Monday was not unlike others throughout the first five days of training camp, as he made an impact both on the ground and in the passing game. Williams said he worked on his receiving abilities this offseason, citing the need to be an all-around back.

HC Vic Fangio said, "He's showing his versatility. He can run a route as well as carry the ball. We think he can block, although that hasn't been tested yet to the nth degree. We like him. He's done everything that we expected up to this point." So far, most, not all, seem to agree that Gordon remains the RB1, at least for now. But the Broncos traded up to get Williams so it may only be a matter of time. But Gordon had 1,144 total yards and 4.7 YPC, so it may not be that easy for Williams to pass him.

Chase Edmonds, the fourth-year pro out of Fordham, who will get every opportunity to prove he can be Arizona’s bell cow and primary running back.

Fantasy Impact:

The story said Conner will get his share of carries as well, but it looks like the team will at least give Edmonds a chance to be the primary back. The story added there has been speculation from outside critics that he won’t be able to last a full season as a No.1 running back because of his smallish, 5-foot-9 stature. Edmonds added a few pounds of muscle this offseason, bulking up his legs and upper body. Even in a split, it should be Edmonds getting the passing down work giving him the edge in fantasy leagues.
