After three seasons in Denver, running back Phillip Lindsay joined the Houston Texans this offseason. While he’s coming off of his worst NFL season, with just 502 yards and one rushing touchdown in 11 games, Lindsay is still a potential fantasy steal heading into the 2021 season. Houston has a lot of faces in their backfield including David Johnson, but Lindsay’s going to just be

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver John Brown played just nine games in Buffalo last season due to injury, but still caught 33 passes for 458 yards and three touchdowns, with 50.9 yards per game, the third-highest mark of his career. Now, he’ll look to make an impact in Vegas, where he’ll compete for targets with wide receiver Henry Ruggs III and Bryan Edwards, as well

The Denver Broncos are leaning towards quarterback Teddy Bridgewater over Drew Lock in the competition to be the team’s Week 1 starter in 2021 against the New York Giants, in the opinion of The Denver Post’s Ryan O’Halloran. The Broncos could rely on a potentially elite defense in Weeks 1-3 against the Giants, Jaguars and Jets. If Bridgewater were to win the competition, he’d be

New England Patriots rookie running back Rhamondre Stevenson (undisclosed) was placed on the active Non-Football Injury list on Wednesday, meaning that he is not cleared for practice ahead of training camp. However, Stevenson, who was drafted in the fourth round, can come off the NFI list at any time. Stevenson impressed as a pass-catcher during offseason workouts and has been compared to LeGarrette Blount because

Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy said that he anticipates quarterback Dak Prescott (ankle) being a “full participant” when training camp begins. It’s not a foregone conclusion, and the Cowboys will keep a close eye on their franchise signal-caller, but it’s great news as he attempts to have a bounce-back season after his gruesome broken ankle in Week 5 of 2020. Despite the injury, fantasy

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield reiterated on Wednesday that he’s “not worried at all” about a possible contract extension with the team this summer. Mayfield is only worried about winning after leading the team to a playoff berth in 2020 without star wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. (knee). The 26-year-old signal-caller is under contract through the 2022 season after his fifth-year option was exercised. Mayfield

Denver Broncos wide receiver Diontae Spencer is expected to make the team this fall as the sixth receiver, but he’ll mainly be active on game days because he’s the team’s primary kick returner. Spencer is an afterthought on offense, as he’s hauled in nine of his 14 targets for 57 yards and no touchdowns in his two seasons with the Broncos covering 27 games (two

Denver Broncos wide receiver K.J. Hamler was a tease for fantasy managers in his rookie season. He gives Broncos offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur all kinds of options when he’s healthy, as Hamler can be lined up anywhere from the slot to the backfield because of his quickness and speed. But nagging hamstring injuries stunted his progress in 2020 and kept him off the field for

Denver Broncos wide receiver Jerry Jeudy went against No. 1 cornerbacks in his rookie season after Courtland Sutton (knee) suffered a season-ending injury in Week 2. Jeudy was able to bring in 52 catches for a team-high 856 yards and should benefit from Sutton drawing the attention of the opponent’s top cornerback in 2021. However, the Alabama product also dropped 10 passes, with five coming

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton (knee), who tore his ACL in his 20th snap of the Week 2 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers last year, could have his workload managed in training camp after he was limited to individual work during the offseason program. Sutton was the team’s best offensive weapon a year ago leading into the season, and a repeat of his breakout

The Los Angeles Rams clearly don’t believe that free-agent running back Todd Gurley II can be effective in the running game anymore, even in a rotation, due to the knee injuries that they had to deal with for the entire 2019 season. It’s why they eventually cut him early in 2020 despite owing him a lot more money — they’re still on the hook for

Los Angeles Rams running back Xavier Jones, a former undrafted free agent, may quietly be one of the team’s better assets this fall, depending on Darrell Henderson Jr.’s health and the depth at the position. The team’s decision (for now) not to look outside the organization to replace Cam Akers (Achilles) points strongly toward their faith in Jones. Jake Funk, a seventh-round pick this year,

Long-time Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Vince Williams announced his retirement from the NFL on Wednesday. The former sixth-round pick out of Florida State in 2013 played his entire eight-year career with Pittsburgh, racking up 479 tackles (333 solo), 45 QB hits, two interceptions (one for a TD), five passes defensed, six fumble recoveries and 20.5 sacks in 121 games (69 starts). The 31-year-old finished with 70

The Pittsburgh Steelers offensive line is young and inexperienced going into the 2021 season after they overhauled the unit after an atrocious 2020 season (last in the NFL) running the football. A best-case scenario this year would be some growing pains that are masked by rookie running back Najee Harris and a new-look offensive scheme. “There will be some growing pains as we all know,”

Carolina Panthers quarterback Sam Darnold could put together his best season as a pro in his new environment away from the Jets. Darnold didn’t exactly prove that he was worthy of being the third overall pick in three seasons in New York, never exceeding 3000 passing yards, 20 touchdowns, or a 61 percent completion rate. Still, Darnold will go from having a poor coach situation

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz, who had trade speculation surrounding him for months, is expected to report to training camp with the team next week, according to an Eagles sideline reporter. The previous belief was that Ertz would sit out of training camp while the team tried to trade him. And if they couldn’t trade him, the belief was that they’d cut the 30-year-old

Atlanta Falcons tight end Hayden Hurst could be on the field frequently in new head coach Arthur Smith’s offense in 2021. Hurst was productive in his first season with the Falcons last year, totaling 56 receptions on 88 targets for 571 yards and six touchdowns. While the drafting of Kyle Pitts certainly puts a large dent in Hurst’s value, the latter should still see some

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts enters his rookie year with high expectations after being selected fourth overall, the highest a tight end has ever been picked in the draft. Pitts has the size- 6’6 and 245 pounds- and athleticism- 4.44 40-yard dash and 33.5-inch vertical leap- to be a matchup nightmare right away in the NFL and will get every opportunity to do so

Detroit Lions cornerback Jeff Okudah, who is healthy for training camp this year, underwent core muscle surgery after landing on the Injured Reserve last season. Dr. William Meyers repaired both sides of Okudah’s core, since it’s common to tear the other side after one side has already been torn. Okudah didn’t live up to the expectations of being the No. 3 overall pick in his

The San Francisco 49ers and All-Pro linebacker Fred Warner reached an agreement on a five-year contract extension on Wednesday that will tie him to the team through the 2026 season, according to sources. The extension is valued at over $95 million, including over $40.5 million in guaranteed number. The $19 million per year makes Warner the league’s highest-paid off-ball linebacker, surpassing Bobby Wagner’s mark of
