Jul 26, 2016

Pats wide receiver Julian Edelman (offseason foot surgery) should be removed from the physically unable to perform list very soon. Doctors uncovered a small break over the spring, and sources indicated all along it should be a quick recovery.

Fantasy Impact:

The story pointed out Edelman looked good while fielding ground balls and taking batting practice last week at Fenway Park.

NFL teams to likely bring fewer than 90 players to camp

In an effort to combat COVID-19, NFL teams are likely to bring fewer than the regular 90 players they ordinarily bring to training camp, per league sources. One source is predicting 80 per team, another 75, but no one is expecting 90.

Fantasy Impact:

Having smaller rosters at camp could hurt the undrafted free agents looking to make teams in 2020.

Bills beat: Devin Singletary to be more involved in passing game in 2020

The Athletic

Jul 01 · 5:19 PM EDT

Joe Buscaglia: I believe the Bills would like to get Singletary more involved in the passing game this year, too. He’s an underrated route runner and his open-field vision makes him a potentially dangerous pass catcher. Singletary would likely draw the assignment of a linebacker or safety, and the Bills will like that matchup with how often he makes people miss.

Fantasy Impact:

Devin Singletary averaged 3.4 targets per game in 2019, but Buscaglia expects that number to rise in his sophomore season with the Bills. The Buffalo back is ranked as RB29 in half-PPR formats on 4for4.com and is leaving draft boards as a late-fourth to fifth-rounder.

PFT: NFL preseason to be cut in half

ProFootballTalk

Jul 01 · 4:51 PM EDT

2020 preseason has been cut in half, per source.
"Specifically, Week One and Week Four have been scrapped. The league is expected to announce the move on Thursday."

Fantasy Impact:

With the COVID-19 pandemic still very much in the mix, this is a no-brainer for the NFL. In Week 1 we don't usually see much from the starters and Week 4 is pretty useless from a fantasy-scouting perspective.
