The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have had recent negotiations with linebacker Lavonte David with an eye towards a contract extension, according to a source. David is due to make $10.75 million this year in the final year of his current deal. The 30-year-old is heading into his ninth season with the Buccaneers and has been the face of their defense for a while. The former second-rounder

New England Patriots defensive back Joejuan Williams has been working regularly with the safeties in practice of late at training camp and has been taking all of his meetings with the group as well. Williams’ length on the field could come in handy when defending opposing tight ends. The Pats traded up to take Williams 45th overall in the second round of the 2019 draft.

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon is still not practicing on Friday. According to the team, Mixon is dealing with a “minor injury” which is causing him to be sidelined. The mystery surrounding Mixon gets cloudier by the day. Earlier in the week, Mixon was reportedly dealing with migraines which were preventing him from practicing. It is unclear whether the “minor injury” alluded to by

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Benny Snell Jr. has been impressing during training camp, according to Mark Kaboly of The Athletic. This offseason, the Steelers have been limiting the workload of starting running back James Conner after he has dealt with a multitude of injuries over the past few years. That has opened the door for Snell to show what he can do on the field.

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner entered the 2019 year with considerable aplomb, before what ultimately turned into a season of pedestrian production. Splitting the difference between that year and his Pro Bowl campaign in 18, the Steelers lead back should be able to hold down RB2 duties in most season-long formats. The biggest concern for Conner is ultimately his durability, as he has missed

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette enters 2020 as the quintessential boom-or-bust fantasy back. In addition to having compiled rushing touchdowns in just two games last year, he amassed 75 or fewer rushing yards in 10 of his 15 contests. But despite that, the Jaguars have proven confident in the bruising back, even if his future remains murky. Its unlikely that Chris Thompson pushes him

Detroit Lions tight end T.J. Hockensons fantasy outlook in 2020 is intrinsically connected to that of quarterback Matthew Stafford. On the border of being selected in 10- or 12-team leagues as a TE1, Hockenson with a full season of Staffords power arm might put him over the top. By all accounts, Detroit will have their top signal caller under center to open the year, paving

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones has spent the last decade as one of the preeminent wide receivers in the league. While he enters 2020 at 31 years old, he has not had any documented maladies impeding his offseason progress. The rapport developed between Jones and Matt Ryan has entrenched the seven-time Pro Bowler as a front two-round Draft choice, going off the board as

Houston Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks is not partaking in the teams scrimmage Thursday, even as his season-long appeal continues to see a steady bump as the season opener against Kansas City on Sept. 10 approaches. Prior to being all but lost in the shuffle with the Rams last season, Cooks had reeled off four consecutive seasons north of 1,000 receiving yards. Now, he gets

Upon the signing of veteran tight end Jason Witten, the initial concern was that Las Vegas Raiders tight end Darren Waller would face a timeshare. But that has proven not to be the case throughout camp, with Waller taking command of the TE1 spot and retaining his top-five tight end appeal. After erupting with a 1,145-yard campaign in 2019, theres little reason for the Raiders

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has made it cool to pick quarterbacks in the first round of fantasy drafts again. Even despite a gruesome dislocated knee last year, Mahomes enters the new season as a Super Bowl champion and arguably the top signal caller on the board. With all of his pass-catching weapons returning, Mahomes is an obvious must start in every season-long league,

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Allen Lazard took a significant step forward in 2019, putting him on many owners’ radars ahead of drafts this year. Despite having been an undrafted free agent that saw just one target in 2918, Lazard is now arguably the Packers No. 2 receiver and is being rostered in just 16 percent of leagues. He would see his fantasy prospects rise

Cleveland Browns running back Kareem Hunt holds the distinction of entering drafts as the highest-rated back who is not the RB1 on his team. Even as Nick Chubb commands considerable fantasy attention, Hunt showcased the fact that his on-field skills have not diminished after amassing 464 yards from scrimmage in eight games last year. It was as recently as 2017 that Hunt led the league

Houston Texans defensive end J.J. Watt will not be on the field for the teams scrimmage Thursday, as head coach Bill OBrien noted that the team will ramp players up on different schedules ahead of their Week 1 meeting with Kansas City. With there being no preseason games due to the COVID-19 protocol, getting Watt and others game repetitionss will prove difficult. After having been

New England Patriots quarterback Cam Newton was intercepted by Terrence Brooks for the second consecutive day during practice Thursday. While reports out of Patriots camp are that Newton has continued to impress in his attempt to become the teams starting signal caller Week 1, its noteworthy that the Patriots defense also sounds as if its rounding into form early on. There is considerable season-long upside

Quarterback DeShone Kizer was brought in for a workout with the Detroit Lions on Thursday as a potential reserve signal-caller. Kizer has not appeared in a regular season contest since 2018 as a member of the Packers. He entered the league as a second-round pick in 2017, but went 0-15 during his tenure as the Browns starting quarterback. Kizer also recently worked out for the

The Seattle Seahawks brought in wide receiver Justin Hardy and quarterback Kyle Sloter for a workout Thursday. Hardy is the more notable of the two, having played in all 16 regular-season games for Atlanta in each of the last four years, having racked up nine touchdowns in that span. Should he ultimately wind up signing in Seattle, he could have some upside DFS appeal if

The Arizona Cardinals released veteran cornerback B.W. Webb on Thursday after just a week with the organization. Webb was brought aboard as an attempted replacement for Robert Alford, but with Dre Kirkpatrick and Ken Crawley recently joining the secondary, there was little room for Webb to move up the depth chart. The Cardinals defensive unit has little season-long appeal heading into drafts, with or without

Dallas Cowboys left tackle Tyron Smith got back in the mix Thursday, rejoining the teams practice session after previously having been out due to a hamstring injury. Smith indicated that the ailment should not be a concern moving forward, which would be a boon for both Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott with one of their primary blockers retaining his spot on the offensive line. With

The Buffalo Bills released kicker Stephen Hauschka and punter Lachlan Edwards on Thursday. Hauschka was solid in the playoffs for Buffalo last year, but he’s hit under 80 percent of his field goal tries each of the last two regular seasons with the Bills. He converted on exactly 22 of his 28 field-goal tries in both 2018 and 2019. Rookie Tyler Bass is now the
