Fantasy Football News & Rumors
Check out the latest news and notes around the NFL.
Amon-Ra St. Brown having ‘superb’ training camp
Amon-Ra St. Brown appears to be in peak form and has been “superb” in his fourth NFL training camp.
Fantasy Impact
According to ECR, the 24-year-old WR is currently going eighth off the board (WR5), and his projections suggest he will be worth the high price tag. St. Brown had a 30% target share and 34% air yards share in 2023, and there’s every reason to believe these numbers will continue this season.

Bijan Robinson expecting ‘increased explosiveness’ in offense
In an interview with Kay Adams, Bijan Robinson expressed his excitement about the changes that OC Zac Robinson has brought to the team. He believes better communication will lead to “increased explosiveness” in the offense.
Fantasy Impact
Fantasy managers hope that the offensive coordinator change will lead to greater opportunities for the second-year RB. In 2023, Tyler Allgeier had the second-most RB carries in the fourth quarter, often vulturing goal-line opportunities and suppressing Robinson’s fantasy output. While Allgeier remains somewhat of a threat, fantasy managers can remain optimistic that Robinson will return the value of being the first or second RB off the board (Breece Hall).

Jahan Dotson traded to Philadelphia Eagles
Jahan Dotson has been traded to the Philadelphia Eagles in exchange for a 2025 third-round pick and two seventh-round picks.
Fantasy Impact
Dotson has struggled to find his footing with the Commanders in training camp this year after a disappointing 2023 season, and now Washington is trading him to Philadelphia along with a fifth-round pick in exchange for draft compensation. He seems primed to be the WR3 for the Eagles behind A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith, so his path to fantasy success this year isn’t very clear. His departure leaves the WR2 spot vacant in Washington, and it seems like the leading candidate to fill that role is Dyami Brown, who has been impressive this preseason and could have sneaky week-to-week streaming value.
