Roddy White From ESPN.com: Coach Dan Quinn acknowledged both rookie Justin Hardy and Falcons newcomer Nick Williams as players who could see more extensive work. Hardy, the team’s fourth-round draft pick out of East Carolina, is sure to be on the 53-man roster. Williams, formerly with the Washington Redskins, appeared to be a longshot until he started flashing throughout training camp and in the first…...

Jordy Nelson The initial diagnosis on #Packers WR Jordy Nelson is a torn ACL, source said. Horrible news. Awaiting MRI results to confirm. — Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) August 23, 2015 Jordy Nelson exited Sundays preseason game early and reports are saying that he’s got a torn ACL, but the Packers are waiting to give an official word until they’ve returned to Green Bay. This sent…...

Tyrod Taylor From Syracuse.com: Cleveland — Rex Ryan had heard enough quarterback questions. He’s been answering them for weeks in Buffalo and did the same for years in New York. So after the Buffalo Bills‘ 11-10 preseason win over the Cleveland Browns, Ryan confirmed what he’s been hinting at: He won’t announce a starting quarterback until the team takes the field to play the Indianapolis…...

Kelvin Benjamin Kelvin Benjamin goes down with an injury when running a route, doesn't look good. pic.twitter.com/e4VOTjEW5A — Jeff Zell (@Jeff_Zell) August 19, 2015 Wednesday morning Kelvin Benjamin was carted off the practice field after experiencing a non-contact left knee injury. If the injury is serious, this could potentially lower the upside of Cam Newton. The Panthers WR corp would be in shambles in the absence of…...

Atlanta Running Backs From Pro Football Talk: Hamstring injuries left the Falcons without three of their running backs in recent days, leading the team to sign Evan Royster in order to have enough healthy bodies to get them through practice. They may not need Royster to fill that role for too much longer, however. Devonta Freeman and Tevin Coleman both suited up for Monday’s practice…...

Nelson Agholor Eagles rookie Nelson Agholor looked sharp on Sunday after hauling three passes for 57 yards and a touchdown against the Colts. Agholor has been getting first team reps in training, but he didn’t get the start preseason opener. However, he still got some reps with the ones. With the departure of Jeremy Maclin that’s going to leave roughly 140 targets that need to…...

Ameer Abdullah Lions rookie running back Ameer Abdullah had himself quite the preseason game on Thursday night against the Jets. I imagine Abdullah started trending on Twitter right after he broke off this 45 yard run upfield. For a period of time before the draft it looked as if this backfield belonged to Joique Bell; that’s far from the case anymore. Bell is still nursing knee…...

Brandon Bolden From the Boston Harold: Strictly judging by appearances, veteran Brandon Bolden is currently the leader in the clubhouse for Shane Vereen’s third down back role. He’s moved ahead of second-year back James White and everyone else. Bolden has been the main man for Tom Brady as the pass catching/blocking back during the past three practices. He was the primary guy during Friday’s session…....

Niles Paul Jay Gruden says Niles Paul is a more complete tight end than Jordan Reed, and that’s why he is now the starting TE. — Mike Jones (@MikeJonesWaPo) August 10, 2015 In his limited action last season, Niles Paul was the second most efficient target for the Redskins in 2014. On the flip side of things, Jordan Reed was the least efficient target. Reed…...

Ronnie Hillman From 9 News Denver: “A development from the past three or four days is what’s happened at his top backup spot. Ronnie Hillman has taken some 1B reps ahead of Montee Ball. (Tailback is the one position where the backup works in with the first-team offense. Thus, the 1B distinction).” Ronnie Hillman was a third-round pick in the 2012 draft, but has never had…...

Daily fantasy football is my all time favorite among the daily fantasy sports. We’re a little over 40 days until NFL kickoff. DraftKings has answered our prayers and released their salaries for Week 1. Along with a tournament that leaves a crisp $2 million to first place and $1 million to the runner up. We’ve still got some time to go before kickoff and a…...

Roddy White From Rotoworld.com: Roddy White had his knee drained prior to June minicamp and expects the knee to be drained again during the 2015 season. Knee drainings are generally routine, non-surgical procedures, but may be concerning for White coming off back-to-back injury-plagued seasons. White actually hinted doctors told him to have surgery, but he is going to play through the knee “irritation” instead. “It’s…...

Markus Wheaton From TribeLive.com: “I’ve worked on everything during training camp because I want to be a complete receiver,” he said. “I’m not just a slot receiver. “I don’t think we need to change much, but there are things we need to correct. There are little things I have to correct. As the young guys grow, including me, this offense will grow.” “We believe our…...

Lamar Miller From ESPN.com: “I would tell you I’ve never been in a meeting where I’ve said to [offensive coordinator] Bill [Lazor] or [running backs coach] Jeff Nixon or the offensive line coaches have said ‘Lamar can’t carry the ball 20 times a game. He can’t do it,’” Philbin said. “I’ve never heard that. That’s never come out of my mouth.” “I would tell you,…...

Detroit Tight Ends From MichiganLive.com: “There wasn’t a more disappointing position group last season than the tight ends. Despite having two first-round picks and a proven red-zone threat, the trio of Eric Ebron, Brandon Pettigrew and Joseph Fauria combined for just 41 catches, 389 yards and two touchdowns. Injuries are partially to blame. The trio missed a combined 14 games, with a non-football ankle injury…...

Sam Bradford From NJ.com: “If I’m not ready for 11 on 11 by training camp, then something has gone horribly wrong,” Bradford said. “That’s the plan right now. We’re going to keep plugging away and be ready when camp starts.” In his five year career, Sam Bradford has managed to play all 16 games just twice. I don’t think Bradford would even be on most…...

Nick Foles From ESPN.com; Rams reporter Nick Wagner was asked to project Nick Foles: That’s a tough question to answer at this point because we still need to see how he fits and how well he grasps the new offense. By Foles’ own admission, this offense is much different from what he had in Philadelphia. That’s not a surprise but it means it will take some…...

It’s late July and FanDuel has already released their pricing for Week 1. So here I am trying to delve into these prices already. I’m not going to go too in depth on these, but just wanted to rattle off my thoughts. A lot can change between now and then, between injuries and roster changes, but these are my first impressions of their pricing. I…...

Washington Running Game From RealRedskins.com: “Who will carry the ball? Gruden has assured us on multiple occasions that Alfred Morris is still the workhorse running back so until I see something different I’ll believe him. Morris carried 265 times last year so let’s say stays right around in that area. Rookie Matt Jones should get the 40 carries that the departed Roy Helu had last…...

Bishop Sankey From TheTennessean.com: “He was the first running back chosen in the 2014 draft and the 54th overall selection, but Sankey did not explode onto the scene for the Titans last year. He averaged 3.7 yards on his 152 carries and his longest run was for just 22 yards. Sankey contributed a bit in the passing game with 18 catches for 133 yards, but…...
