Titans WR Corey Davis had surgery on his big toe during the offseason and is on the Physically Unable to Perform List (PUP). He is expected to be ready for the beginning of the season.

Fantasy Impact:

Davis is expected to have a sizable role for the Tennessee Titans despite their run-first mentality. This is a situation to monitor as Davis has been a receiver to consider toward the end of drafts.

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Derek Carr had high praise for rookie receiver Bryan Edwards, and even went as far as to compare him to his college teammate Davante Adams.

Fantasy Impact:

Derek Carr had this to say about his rookie receiver: “Bryan is a very violent route runner and that’s a good thing. He’s very violent and aggressive in his cuts, in and out of his cuts. He’s someone…He reminds me of, when the ball is in the air, of Davante [Adams]. Great ball skills.” While the Bryan Edwards hype machine has been consistent in terms of his projected dynasty value, recent comments from Derek Carr and offensive coordinator Greg Olson suggest that he may be thrust into a larger rookie than expected. It is becoming clear that the Raiders, possibly at Derek Carr’s behest, will try to get Edwards onto the field as often as possible. He makes for an interesting late round flier at his current ADP as the 78th receiver off the board.

According to Las Vegas Raiders offensive coordinator Greg Olson, rookie wide receiver Henry Ruggs will start the season in the slot.

Fantasy Impact:

This is potentially value draining news for Hunter Renfrow, but is huge news for Henry Ruggs. Already a mismatch on the outside due to his blazing speed, Ruggs should absolutely terrorize defenses on his slot snaps. Ruggs is familiar with the slot, playing 218 snaps there in his final two seasons at Alabama, a number that could have been higher if he was not rotating snaps with three other first round talents at wideout. Ruggs will not be lining up exclusively in the slot, as Olson remarked that the goal is to be able to move ‘all of them around to different spots; the one, two or three position at the wide receiver’. This news is also a boost to Bryan Edwards’ fantasy value, as he is the receiver most likely to take outside snaps when Ruggs moves to the inside. Hunter Renfow, our 103rd ranked receiver prior to this news, is now more of an extremely deep best ball flier at best.
