The New Orleans Saints are sending an all-out blitz to try and sign defensive end Jadeveon Clowney, who has spoken multiple times to head coach Sean Payton, according to sources. At least two other teams are still involved with Clowney, with the Titans being one of them. With training camps coming to a close and the start of the regular season less than a week

The Las Vegas Raiders are releasing veteran safety Damarious Randall on Friday, according to sources. The team owes Randall a $1.5 million fully guaranteed base salary, but that figure will be reduced by whatever he receives from his new team. The 28-year-old former first-round pick of the Packers lost out on a starting safety job in training camp. He had 61 tackles, 2.5 sacks and

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook has spent most of the offseason vying for a long-term contract but will have to let his play do the talking in 2020. After the specter of a holdout was lifted and Cook reported to camp, all eyes will be on the 25-year-old as the focal point of the Vikings offense. The fourth-year back racked up a career-high 1,135

Free-agent running back Adrian Peterson, who was released by the Washington Football Team on Friday, still wants to continue playing at the age of 35, according to a source. It was a surprising move, especially since Derrius Guice is also out of the picture in D.C., but the Washington Football Team is comfortable moving forward with rookie Antonio Gibson, Bryce Love and Peyton Barber in

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan has all the pieces in place to deliver another top-12 fantasy season at the quarterback position. Ryan has his safety blanket in All-Pro receiver Julio Jones, a rising star in wideout Calvin Ridley, a former All-Pro at running back in Todd Gurley II and a potential breakout tight end in Hayden Hurst. Oh, and it helps that he’s a pretty

Atlanta Falcons running back Todd Gurley II looked great in the team’s final training camp scrimmage on Thursday. Gurley II has put together a couple really nice scrimmages for Atlanta in training camp and has earned the praise of his teammates, most recently, fullback Keith Smith and tackle Jake Matthews. The 26-year-old appears to be fully healthy and is slated for a minimum of 15

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have waived kicker Matt Gay. Gay was a top fantasy option at the position last year, connecting on 27 field goals and 43 extra points, and was being drafted like a top kicker heading into 2020. But struggles in camp led to Ryan Succop supplanting him for the job. Succop has a chance to finish 2020 as a top-10 fantasy kicker,

In the wake of the team’s signing of Leonard Fournette, it was clear that some other move was going to happen in this Tampa Bay Buccaneers backfield. On Friday, that move happened, as Tampa waived running back Dare Ogunbowale, who led the team’s running backs in targets last year. Ogunbowale is an interesting back who should land somewhere else soon and is still worth a

The Washington Football Team has released veteran running back Adrian Peterson. Peterson had spent the past two seasons in Washington, totaling 1940 yards and 12 touchdowns in 31 games. Peterson’s chances of landing a starting role this close to the season seem slim, especially with most contending teams already set at the position. Does a rebuilding team need a 35-year-old running back? Maybe Peterson winds

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp (ankle) returned to practice on Thursday, and head coach Sean McVay said Kupp was “full-speed” and that he never had any concerns about Kupp’s availability for the season opener against the Cowboys. Fantasy managers shouldn’t be worried at all about selecting Kupp in their fantasy drafts this weekend. Despite the 27-year-old’s fall in the second half of last

The Houston Texans are working hard with quarterback Deshaun Watson on a new contract extension, and it’s likely to be more in line with Russell Wilson‘s or Aaron Rodgers‘ deals as opposed to that of Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, according to sources. Mahomes recently received a whopping $500 million extension after winning league MVP in 2018 and Super Bowl MVP honors in 2019. The former

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford‘s ceiling will be one of the harder-to-read determinations heading into fantasy drafts. The 32-year-old was on pace for 38 touchdowns and 4,000-plus yards last season until a fractured back ended his season. When healthy, Stafford can easily be a top-10 fantasy talent among quarterbacks. But his health status undoubtedly muddies the waters despite Stafford throwing for 4,000 yards or more

Detroit Lions tight end T.J. Hockenson will be looking to establish himself in the offense early and often in 2020. Hockenson burst on the scene in Week 1 of 2019 with six catches for 131 yards and one touchdown but then produced only 26 receptions for 236 yards and one score in the remaining 11 games he played in. The second-year tight end will be

Detroit Lions running back Kerryon Johnson could be in line for a heavy workload Week 1 against the Bears. The Lions drafted rookie D’Andre Swift to be the unquestioned feature back but Swift has missed a majority of training camp with an undisclosed injury. The rookie has returned to the practice field but is being brought along very slowly. This opens the door for Johnson

Detroit Lions wide receiver Marvin Jones Jr. enters his fifth season with the Lions as almost an afterthought in an offense that hopes to improve in 2020. While fantasy teams salivate over the return of Matthew Stafford under center, rookie runner D’Andre Swift and the talent of receiver Kenny Golladay, Jones Jr. will still carry plenty of value. The veteran caught nine touchdowns last season

Detroit Lions running back D’Andre Swift has returned to practice this week but is still being brought along slowly. The dynamic rookie runner has missed a large portion of camp due to an undisclosed injury and it is fair to begin to wonder whether he will be at 100% when the Lions take the field Week 1 against the Bears. The Lions can turn to

Green Bay Packers tight end Jace Sternberger entered training camp with hopes of becoming a breakout player in the offense this season but has had a “quiet” camp, according to Packers reporter Andy Herman. The second-year player missed the first half of last season due to injuries and largely was non-existent when returned to the field. But many speculated that Sternberger, not teammate Marcedes Lewis,

When healthy, running backMelvin Gordon should be the Denver Broncos lead back in 2020. But unfortunately for Gordon, with a rib injury lingering ahead of Week 1, Phillip Lindsay and Royce Freeman have been able to split first-team repetitions. A timeshare severely cut into Gordons production load last year when he compiled 612 yards on the ground for eight touchdowns alongside Austin Ekeler. Still projected

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin has been notoriously kept under wraps during the summer as it pertains to his injury status, but theres little reason to believe that he will be unavailable when the team takes on the Saints next Sunday. Greg Auman of The Athletic notes that Godwin and quarterback Tom Brady have been gelling well during camp, which bodes well for

Detroit Lions tight end Jesse James noted Thursday that last season was the toughest year that he had since becoming a professional. Having inked a four-year deal to join the Lions prior to the start of 2019, James produced just 16 receptions for 142 yards, quickly becoming a fantasy non-entity. The addition of T.J. Hockenson certainly didnt help his outlook, but with the duo now
