Tony Pollard to ease back into practicing at the start of camp

Tony Pollard is not pushing things with his recovering fibula, as he is “easing back into it.” He is working with Cowboys trainers to ensure he does not push himself too much, too soon.

Fantasy Impact

Pollard will be taking over the Cowboys’ backfield in 2023 with Zeke Elliott finally out of the equation. The explosive Memphis RB has shown flashes of RB1 potential in the few opportunities he has been given in his career to start. The fact that he is being eased into the fold should not be surprising, and that he is practicing at all is a great sign for his regular-season health. Time will tell if Pollard sees any preseason action, but regardless he should be considered an RB1 when the regular season roles around, barring any setbacks.

Kyler Murray (knee) placed on the PUP list

Kyler Murray (knee) has been placed on the PUP list to begin training camp.

Fantasy Impact

The move does not come as a surprise considering Murray suffered a torn ACL in December. Murray will likely be unavailable to start the season despite setting a goal in the offseason of returning in Week 1. If the 25-year-old can return to form, he will continue to be a difference maker for fantasy managers.

Kyle Pitts beings training camp with a knee brace on

Kyle Pitts is participating in Falcons’ training camp with a knee brace on.

Fantasy Impact

The news is not a surprise as Pitts continues to recover from MCL surgery. Pitts did not practice in OTAs, so this is a great sign for the Falcons and fantasy managers. The 22-year-old currently ranks as the TE5 in ECR, according to FantasyPros.

John Metchie III cleared to start training camp

John Metchie III has been cleared to participate in training camp, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

Fantasy Impact

Metchie suffered a strained hamstring during OTAs and there was concern that he would not be ready for training camp. The 23-year-old wide receiver now has a chance to build chemistry with rookie C.J. Stroud in camp. Metchie currently ranks as WR77 in ECR, according to FantasyPros.
