Check out the latest news and notes around the NFL.
Cole Beasley working as No. 1 slot WR in practice
Cole Beasley is reportedly working as the Giants top slot receiver in practices.
Fantasy Impact
It figures to be between Beasley and Parris Campbell (who was sidelined Thursday, but returned on Friday) for the slot role in the Giants offense. This will be a potential training camp battle to watch, though neither of them offer too much fantasy upside.

Braxton Berrios considered Dolphins’ WR3 in camp
According to both Kyle Crabbs of Locked On Dolphins and Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN NFL Nation, WR Braxton Berrios has appeared to be the Miami Dolphins’ WR3 so far in training camp.
Fantasy Impact
Berrios was signed to a one-year deal in the offseason, similar to WR Robbie Chosen, but appears to have the lead in the race for WR3 in Miami. The 27-year-old WR spent his first four seasons with the Jets where he had 1,245 scrimmage yards and nine total touchdowns. Though he primarily operated as a slot receiver, he also lined up outside on nearly a third of his snaps in 2022 and was used as a gadget WR on screens and sweeps. In Miami, Berrios can find favorable matchups and schemed-up touches due to the attention that WRs Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle force. Berrios could be a sneaky late-round pick in best ball formats due to his potential for boom weeks on a potent Miami offense.

Alvin Kamara suspended three games by NFL
The NFL is suspending Saints RB Alvin Kamara three games for his role in a fight outside a Las Vegas nightclub in 2022, according to a report from ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter. Kamara met with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell earlier this week.
Fantasy Impact
Well, at least now fantasy managers finally know exactly what they’re getting when drafting Kamara. For much of the summer, he was a major question mark, and the lack of clarity surrounding his status affected his ADP and FantasyPros ECR. He is currently 78th overall and RB29 in ECR, but he is likely to jump into mid-RB2 range now that we know the suspension is only three games. Jamaal Williams and Kendre Miller will have additional appeal through the first three weeks, and Williams will likely still be valuable in most formats given his short-yardage and red zone role (he’s the guy who scored 17 touchdowns for the Lions last season).
