Fantasy Football News & Rumors

Check out the latest news and notes around the NFL.

Justin Fields continues to be inconsistent in first camp with Steelers
Despite Russell Wilson suffering an injury, resulting in Fields taking first-team reps, he continues to look inconsistent throwing to receivers.

Fantasy Impact

Fantasy managers will like Fields getting early reps in training camp, but his window to be a reliable fantasy asset will continue to dwindle if he cannot perform at a high level.

Javonte Williams ‘shiftier’ after losing 11 pounds in offseason
Fresh off rumors that he could be traded or outright cut, Javonte Williams is impressing early at camp, looking leaner.

Fantasy Impact

Williams appears to be the back most suited for a workhorse-adjacent role in the Broncos’ backfield, so this bodes well for his opportunity to garner more touches in Sean Payton’s offense.

Kimani Vidal appears to be buried on depth chart to start
Despite rave reviews during the offseason, rookie Kimani Vidal appears buried on the Chargers’ depth chart to begin camp.

Fantasy Impact

Fantasy managers have been salivating over Vidal’s possibility to step into a large role given J.K. Dobbins‘ recovery from injury as well as Gus Edwards‘ offseason surgery, so keep an eye on this.
