Falcons WR Julio Jones not reporting to camp

Jul 24, 2018

Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones will not report to camp, and is "comfortable sitting out the entire time" while seeking a new contract.

Fantasy Impact:

Most NFL holdouts end up being resolved rather quickly—players such as Odell Beckham and David Johnson reported on the first day despite wanting to be paid. This situation appears to be different, and Jones is digging in his heels. The Falcons have no interest in re-doing his deal at this time but may give him an advance on some future money to keep him happy enough to play.

Panthers elevate QB Bryce Young, don't announce him as Week 1 starter yet

The Carolina Panthers have elevated rookie Bryce Young to the No. 1 quarterback spot, a move coach Frank Reich said Thursday is "the next step" in the top pick of this year's draft, becoming the Week 1 starter.

Fantasy Impact:

These are all semantics at this point. The only thing we were worried about was Young coming in and having a terrible camp, and it doesn't look like he is trending in that direction. He should be drafted as the Panthers' QB1, which puts him on the radar in 2QB and SuperFlex leagues.

Rams sign WR Demarcus Robinson

Another weapon for the Rams: LA has agreed to terms with veteran WR Demarcus Robinson.

Related Players: Puka Nacua, Ben Skowronek, Van Jefferson

Fantasy Impact:

Robinson was mostly buried on the Chiefs depth chart before having a mini breakout with the Ravens last year, catching 50 balls for 500 years. Given the Rams current wide receiver room, this is likely the best case scenario for Robinson. He makes for an interesting option as a last round dart throw, particularly if you have already have Matthew Stafford.

The Bears RB1 isn't automatically Khlalil Herbert

Though Khalil Herbert is taking first-team reps during OTAs, the competition for the RB1 with the Bears includes D'Onta Foreman, Travis Homer, and fourth-round pick Roschon Johnson.

Fantasy Impact:

In the article, running backs coach David Walker was quoted as saying, “No one has earned a seat in that room yet, and they’re all going to earn their seats from what we do now until August whatever, whenever that third preseason game is,” Walker said. “So that’s the good thing and they know it. That’s been communicated to them.”

This makes the presumed "backups" more intriguing in fantasy drafts, as they are basically free at the moment. Roschon Johnson is coming off the board as the RB46 in the 13th round, while D'Onta Foreman is the RB51, in the 14th.
