Fantasy Impact:

The author added that there is a notable distinction between lining up everywhere and getting targeted everywhere - "because sometimes you can line up guys everywhere for the sake of calling your players versatile, but they’re not really a threat to the defense," Dugar said. Smith-Njigba took a massive leap in his second season, finishing as the WR8 after a modest WR46 rookie campaign. JSN seized a featured role in the Seahawks’ passing attack, posting 100 catches for 1,130 yards and six touchdowns. He's 14th among WRs in our rankings.

Reunion: Six-time Pro Bowl WR Keenan Allen is signing with the Chargers on a one-year, $8.52 million deal.

Fantasy Impact:

The Chargers don't have a lot of sure things behind McConkey, so Allen could certainly be a fantasy-factor being back with the Chargers. It seems like every day we see a Johnston drop in camp, Harris is just a rookie this season and Lambert-Smith has been mentioned as a sleeper, but Allen definitely fills a need in the Charger offense and could help as a WR3 on your fantasy team.

According to the post, McVay added, "We've been able to kind of increase some things behind the scenes. And so he's in good spirits." The team is calling Stafford week-to-week and are likely taking things slow with their starting QB.

Saints RB Devin Neal (hamstring) to miss time

Kellen Moore says that Saints rookie RB Devin Neal will miss “a couple weeks” with a hamstring injury.

Fantasy Impact:

Neal was hoping to earn the team's RB2 role behind Kamara, but missing that much time likely will cost him that job for now. Miller looks to be the favorite, but he'll need to fend off some familiar names in Akers and CEH.
