Check out the latest news and notes around the NFL.
David Montgomery expected to be ‘co-starter’ with Jahmyr Gibbs
David Montgomery is reportedly expected to be a “co-starter” with Jahmyr Gibbs in the Lions backfield this season.
Fantasy Impact
The Lions signed Montgomery to a three-year deal and invested the No. 12 overall pick on Gibbs, so it should be expected that they will both be involved. It has the potential to be comparable to be the Saints backfield during Alvin Kamara‘s rookie season when he (Gibbs) and Mark Ingram (Montgomery) were both dominant in their own roles in the same backfield.

Jake Ferguson excelling as a blocker in practice
Jake Ferguson is reportedly excelling as a blocker early in Cowboys practice.
Fantasy Impact
With the departure of Dalton Schultz, Ferguson has a chance to take over the primary receiving role among tight ends for the Cowboys this season. The better he can block, the more he should be on the field as well. Ferguson could be an intriguing late target in deep fantasy leagues this season.

Jalen Hurts building ‘new chemistry’ with A.J. Brown
Jalen Hurts is reportedly building “new chemistry” with A.J. Brown in Eagles camp.
Fantasy Impact
It is hard to imagine Hurts and Brown topping the season they had together last year, but this will be their second season playing together. Brown caught 88 passes for 1,496 yards and 11 touchdowns last season with Hurts. “He’s a physical specimen,” Hurts said. “He’s a special talent. The goal for us is to continue to grow, continue to find that new chemistry. I think for us, you talk about any time you have success, you try to leave that as the foundation, as the new standard. So we just want to continue to grow.”
