Saints release RB Terrance West

Aug 21, 2018

The Saints have released running back Terrance West.

Fantasy Impact:

Once Mark Ingram returns from his suspension, he and Alvin Kamara should dominate the backfield touches in New Orleans, making it hard for West to be a consistent contributor. The Saints also have Shane Vereen and the much-buzzed-about Jonathan Williams on the RB depth chart.

Packers TE Tucker Kraft (ACL) cleared for team drills

ESPN

5 minutes ago

How eager was Tucker Kraft to get on the practice field Sunday? He was the first player out of the Don Hutson Center and onto the practice field. The reason? He was finally cleared to do 11-on-11 team drills. While Kraft had returned to practice on July 31, he had been limited only to individual drills as he continued his comeback from last year's ACL surgery.

Fantasy Impact:

Kraft caught all five of the passes thrown his way in practice, including one touchdown that prompted an emphatic spike and his chest-bumping, starfish celebration, the story went on to say. Kraft tore his ACL in Week 9 last season and is looking for a contract extension, the story added. Before his injury, Kraft was on pace for a 73-catch, 1,139-yard, 14.6-touchdown season, and he comes into this year ranked fifth on our TE list.

Eagles WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) back at practice

Wide receiver DeVonta Smith missed the last couple of weeks with a hamstring injury, but he is suited up and participating in practice to kick off this week of work. The Eagles’ pre-practice injury report says that Smith will be a limited participant.

Fantasy Impact:

Smith projects to be a lower-end WR1 this season with A.J. Brown now in New England. The bigger question may be who is the team's WR2, with Smith seemingly getting closer to full strength. Lemon, the team's first round pick this past spring, hasn't been on the field much, while Wicks and Cooper have been the stars of training camp so far this summer.

Panthers sign TE Darren Waller

The Panthers have made it official with Darren Waller.

Carolina announced on Monday that Waller has signed with the club.

It was reported last week that the veteran tight end had agreed to terms on a one-year deal.

Related players: Ja'Tavion Sanders, Tommy Tremble

Fantasy Impact:

Waller, 33, came out of retirement to play for the Dolphins last season. He caught 24 passes for 283 yards with six touchdowns in nine games. The touchdowns put Waller on the fantasy radar despite averaging just over two catches a game. Waller could again be a red zone target in Carolina and could slide in ahead of Sanders, who was a nice prospect but missed four games in 2025 and averaged less than 15 receiving yards per game. Waller is more of a later-round TE2 option to take a chance on.
