Fantasy Football News & Rumors

Check out the latest news and notes around the NFL.

Kadarius Toney working with running backs Sunday
Kadarius Toney was seen working with the Chiefs running backs at practice on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact

This is an interesting development and could be worth monitoring. It had been rumored earlier in July that Toney could be on the trade block, but it seems unlikely that a trade will happen. It’ll be worth monitoring to see if he continues to practice with the running backs or if it’s just for one day.

Jacoby Brissett taking all first-team reps in practice
Jacoby Brissett is reportedly taking all of the first-team reps early in Patriots training camp.

Fantasy Impact

It is not a huge surprise as Brissett was labeled the starter for New England entering training camp. Drake Maye should also get his chance to prove himself over the next few weeks.

Cam Akers agrees to deal with the Texans
Cam Akers signed with the Houston Texans after his workout on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact

Akers is returning from his second torn Achilles in three years. He’ll compete in training camp for a spot on the Texans roster heading into the season. He is unlikely to be on the fantasy radar.

Dameon Pierce impressing early in camp
Dameon Pierce is reportedly impressing early in Texans camp.

Fantasy Impact

With Houston bringing in Joe Mixon this offseason, Pierce figures to back him up unless he can perform well enough in training camp to make it a 1A/1B situation. It’ll be worth monitoring over the next few weeks, but for now Pierce will likely be the handcuff for fantasy managers with Mixon.
