Chiefs take a flier on RB C.J. Spiller

Ian Rapoport said 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey is actually dealing with tightness and he's not holding-in.

Rumors started to spread on Monday CMC wasn't dealing with tightness and was instead holding-in. Rapoport insisted McCaffrey is actually dealing with tightness, but should be fine. The timing of his tightness happened to be after Jahmyr Gibbs, Bijan Robinson and Jonathan Taylor received new contracts. Rapoport said there was a "check-in" about a new contract with CMC and the Niners that didn't go anywhere, but maybe after the season he could get paid again, according to Rapoport. Of course, everyone pays attention when it comes to CMC and tightness, so it will still be worth monitoring to see when he can get back on the practice field.

Via Jordan Schultz, Keenan Allen has agreed to terms with the Colts. It’s reportedly a one-year deal worth up to $8.32 million.

One has to wonder if this has more to do with Pierce and his availability going forward. Pierce remains on the Physically Unable to Perform list with an ankle injury. Allen, now 34, is more like the fourth option when the Colts are healthy, but with Pierce still not on the field, he's more of a potential third option. Allen is worth grabbing later in drafts or if he's on your free agent wire as there seems to be a path toward some fantasy relevance, at least in deeper leagues.

Saints rookie WR Jordyn Tyson is expected to be out roughly two months with his hamstring injury, per me and Mike Garafolo.

Tyson has been a standout during training camp, so it's a potential big loss at least early on for the offense, with a mid-October return looking like a possibility. Tyson, who has been consulting with experts, could begin the season on short-term Injured Reserve, according to Rapoport. Vele could move into the WR2 role after flashing at times last season coming over from the Broncos. Lance and Brown are also rookie WRs who could get a chance.
