TE Trey Burton thinks Bears similar to Eagles

Jul 09, 2018

TE Trey Burton said that he sees things in the Bears that remind him of where the Eagles were heading into last season.

“There are a ton of similarities,” Burton said. “You look at Philly two years ago, the majority of our games we lost by less than a touchdown. If you look at Chicago last year as well, there’s a good amount of games that they lost. It’s just getting over that hump. You gotta be able to win the close games and here’s so many small detail things that happen in order for you to lose those games.”

Fantasy Impact:

There is a lot of excitement around the Bears offense coming into this year with the additions of Burton and Robinson, and the hope Trubisky takes the next step in his development. The story pointed out the Bears lost six games by eight points or less last season.

This has been the hope for DeAndre Hopkins for some time. The Cardinals had trade talks for months, and they heated up before the draft. Ultimately, no deal. Now, he's a free agent.

Related Players: Marquise Brown, Rondale Moore, Michael Wilson

Fantasy Impact:

We will have to wait and see what other team will be heavily impacted by the eventual signing of Hopkins, but as of now we can expect a target increase for each of Brown, Moore, and, likely, third-round rookie Michael Wilson.

Raiders quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo is not participating in the team’s OTA practices this week as he continues to recover from the left foot injury he suffered late last season, coach Josh McDaniels said Thursday. While McDaniels declined to discuss specifics, team and league sources said Garoppolo had surgery in March after signing with the Raiders. His recovery timeline from that procedure is unknown, although McDaniels acknowledged he “could be” out until at least training camp.

Fantasy Impact:

Per the article, "the sense is that the Raiders aren’t worried about Garoppolo being ready for the start of the regular season in September." That's all fine and well, but not only does Garoppolo have a lengthy injury history, but he's also in a brand new offense that doesn't have the deepest talent after Davante Adams. Jimmy G's fantasy value was already questionable, and this should further diminish his outlook.

Chiefs WRs Rashee Rice, Richie James, and Justyn Ross vying for No. 4 on the depth chart

The players projected at the top of the depth chart are Kadarius Toney, Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Skyy Moore. But Mahomes, at this point, doesn’t know which of his teammates is the favorite to be the No. 4 receiver. Rookie Rashee Rice, a second-round pick, didn’t make any major mistakes Wednesday and caught an easy touchdown pass from backup quarterback Blaine Gabbert. Receivers Richie James and Justyn Ross were also impressive with their targets.

Fantasy Impact:

This is an interesting observation from beat writer Nate Taylor, as the current order of the KC depth chart according to Underdog ADP is; Toney, Moore, Rice, MVS, Richie James. Not only that, but Rice is going almost three entire rounds prior to Valdes-Scantling even though it seems he may be behind him in 3WR-sets.

We're still very early in the process and the rookie could very easily find the field more as the summer months move on, but MVS might need to be in higher consideration.
