Apr 24, 2014

Dwayne Allen said today he has been cleared to participate in everything. Said it felt great running around today, catching the ball.

Fantasy Impact:

Allen is a sleeper at the tight end position, but his upside is capped by the presence of Coby Fleener.

Panthers TE Ja'Tavion Sanders catches three passes in preseason opener

Jared Feinberg

1 hour ago

TE Ja'Tavion Sanders is playing tonight after an ankle injury. Back-to-back catches to start the game.

Related Players: Tommy Tremble, Mitchell Evans

Fantasy Impact:

Sanders seeing immediate involvement is encouraging after last year’s season-ending injury, but Carolina’s pass-catching competition remains open. Sanders is currently TE45 and No. 246 overall in the 4for4 rankings, putting him firmly in deep-league territory.

Jets TE Kenyon Sadiq expected to miss a "couple more" weeks

Jets first-round pick Kenyon Sadiq out a couple more weeks after core muscle surgery.

Related Players: Mason Taylor

Fantasy Impact:

The projected timetable still gives Sadiq time to prepare for Week 1, but rookies benefit greatly from training-camp repetitions. His absence provides Taylor with additional opportunities to establish himself and makes Sadiq’s low-end TE2 projection even more reasonable.

Lions sign RB Jahmyr Gibbs to record-setting extension

Jahmyr Gibbs is now the highest-paid RB in NFL history.

The Lions star gets a 3-year, $75.75M deal with $51.5M guaranteed — the highest APY and the highest guarantee ever for a RB.

Related Players: Isiah Pacheco

Fantasy Impact:

More important than the money is that Gibbs’ hold-in is over. He can resume full participation once physically cleared, and the contract removes any lingering availability concern. Nothing here changes his standing as 4for4’s top overall fantasy option.
