Jacksonville Signs DT Tyson Alualu

Aug 01, 2010

The Jacksonville Jaguars and first-round draft pick Tyson Alualu have agreed on a five-year contract, getting the California defensive tackle on his way to camp after a four-day holdout.

Alualu’s deal got done before practice Sunday night. It includes more than $17 million guaranteed.

Jaguars coach Jack Del Rio said Alualu was planning to take a redeye flight from Hawaii and be at training camp Monday night.

Jacksonville selected Alualu with the 10th pick in April’s draft, hoping the 304-pound lineman will bolster a defense that had a league-worst 14 sacks last season.

Vikings WR Justin Jefferson suffers mild hamstring strain

Vikings HC Kevin O’Connell has announced WR Justin Jefferson has a mild hamstring strain and will be held out of practice. Jefferson will be re-evaluated next week.

Fantasy Impact:

It probably goes without saying, but it would be a massive blow to the entire offense, as well as J.J. McCarthy's bottom line if Jefferson missed any time. No need to push the WR too far down your rankings just yet, but if you had a coinflip between him and another first round option, it might be a good time to lean toward the other guy.

Jets QB Justin Fields back at practice without limp

Notable that Justin Fields is not walking with a limp and seems to be moving around ok.

Related Players: Tyrod Taylor, Adrian Martinez

Fantasy Impact:

Good news for Fields' availability through the rest of camp, but they may end up limiting his action in contact drills for a bit. Unless something changes, we should keep him right in line with where we had him ranked before this injury scare.

Bills WR Keon Coleman struggles to begin training camp

Joe Buscaglia

yesterday · 2:37 PM EDT

On his first day back at camp, Keon Coleman was in a prominent role again, working with Allen and the first-team offense heavily, though he failed to deliver on several opportunities.

During team drills, Coleman had four targets result in no receptions. The first was against second-team cornerback Dane Jackson, with Jackson sticking on Coleman the whole way and not allowing a catch opportunity. Coleman later had two reps against top cornerback Benford, with Benford breaking up both passes in contested opportunities. Then, near the end, Coleman had a chance to catch a pass along the sideline against Tre’Davious White, only for White to break up the pass.

Fantasy Impact:

Buscaglia goes on to hit on Coleman's lack of separation, which had been an issue through the receiver's rookie season as well. If the sophomore continues to struggle, we could once again see him in a rotation, which will sap any sort of consistent fantasy production. Shakir's role is already locked in, but Palmer, a free agent addition, could end up seeing enough work to make him an interesting late-round dart throw.
