Training Camp News You Need to Know! - 2026 Fantasy Football Advice

The source is fading Adonai Mitchell despite the hype, noting that the team's target distribution will be dominated by Garrett Wilson and Breece Hall, leaving little room for Mitchell to produce.

Alec Pierce is practicing and trending positively toward a Week 1 return. While his falling ADP makes him a fine draft pick, the source is uncertain if he will see an increase in targets, noting he still has to earn his role as a deep threat.

Alvin Kamara is currently dealing with an injury, which has created a temporary backup role for Kendre Miller. The source expects Kamara to return at some point to split touches with Travis Etienne.

The source ranks Breece Hall highly in full PPR formats, noting that while he and Jeremiah Love are on projected bottom-two scoring teams, their potential for high reception volume gives them a higher ceiling than Kyren Williams.

Brian Thomas Jr. suffered a shoulder injury, but the source indicates it does not appear to be a serious problem and he should be fine.

The source lists Brock Bowers as one of six preferred tight end options to anchor a fantasy roster this season.

The source does not advise avoiding CeeDee Lamb, but personally prefers other options like Justin Jefferson or running backs at his current ADP, noting that Jalen Tolbert is having a great camp in Dallas.

Chase Brown is placed in the same draft tier as Ashen Genti, Saquon Barkley, and Kenneth Walker.

Chris Olave is expected to run a higher volume of deep routes this season, which the source notes complements Jordan Tyson's role in the shallow and intermediate areas of the field.

Chris Rodriguez is gaining trust in pass protection, having taken end-of-game snaps over other options in joint practices. He could lead the backfield on early downs and at the goal line, potentially siphoning enough touches to limit the upside of other running backs in the room, making him a strong late-round pick.

The source is comfortable drafting Christian McCaffrey in the early first round, provided the drafter also selects Kalin Black as his handcuff to mitigate injury risk.

The source expects Chuba Hubbard to split work with Jonathon Brooks in week one, likely in a 50/50 arrangement. While Hubbard is progressing well in his recovery, the source explicitly states they are not drafting him this season.

The source identifies Colston Loveland as one of six preferred tight end options to anchor a fantasy roster this season. However, the source advises against drafting him in round four if you also plan to draft Luther Burden in round five, citing excessive correlated risk for the Chicago offense.

The source identifies DJ Moore as the only Buffalo wide receiver worth drafting, noting that he looked good in preseason action and does not face significant competition for targets.

D'Andre Swift is primed for a big year and is expected to be featured early while teammates are limited. The source projects him as a top-15 or top-12 running back early in the season, making him a strong pick and a potential sell-high candidate later.

Despite ongoing reports of Woody Marks earning a role in the backfield, the source explicitly states they are still buying David Montgomery as a fantasy asset.

The source explicitly advises against drafting Drake London, part of a broader recommendation to avoid Falcons players outside of Bijan Robinson.

The source advises continuing to fade Eli Stowers, stating he is not currently ready to play in NFL games.

Garrett Wilson is considered a bellcow receiver who will dominate targets. The source identifies him as one of only two players on the team worth drafting in redraft formats, alongside Breece Hall.

George Pickens is a strong pick at the 2-3 turn, with the source arguing he is closer in value to CeeDee Lamb than the public realizes. He is expected to have a huge role this season and serves as a high-upside option.

Isaiah Likely has recorded high target volume in camp, potentially positioning him as the second-most targeted player on the team. However, the source remains cautious, noting these targets are primarily short-area dump-offs. His fantasy value is contingent on quarterback Jackson Dart's performance and the potential for his role to shrink once Malik Nabers is fully integrated into the offense.

Isiah Pacheco is dealing with a back injury, creating uncertainty about his status as the locked-in backup for Detroit. The source advises against drafting him as a handcuff until the situation clarifies.

The source advises not to worry about Ja'Marr Chase's minor knee hyperextension, noting that the team is being cautious and he does not need to practice at this stage; he is expected to be fine.

The source advises against handcuffing Jahmyr Gibbs because the team's backup running back situation remains unsettled and unclear.

Jake Bobo is expected to miss a significant portion of time due to injury, according to Fantasy Football Advice.

The source explicitly ranks James Cook ahead of Ashen Genti in draft priority.

The source advises against drafting Jawan Jennings, as the Vikings' shift to heavy personnel sets—including two tight ends or a tight end and a fullback—is expected to reduce the role of the slot receiver, likely kicking him off the field.

The source ranks Javonte Williams last among a group including Jeremiah Love, Kyren Williams, and Breece Hall, citing a lower ceiling and increased usage for the Dallas backups. The source also advises against handcuffing him, suggesting the backfield will remain a committee.

Jaylen Waddle is reported to look healthy and good, which is a positive development for his fantasy outlook.

Jeremiah Love is trending toward playing in Week 1 following an ankle scare; the source has moved him back up to an early third-round pick, noting he is too talented to be drafted as a RB2 despite concerns about the schedule and backup Tyler Allgeier's involvement. The source also emphasizes the importance of not rushing players back too early to avoid setbacks.

The source is drafting Jonathon Brooks, projecting him to handle passing game and red zone work early on, with the expectation that his workload will eventually ramp up to a 70/30 split in his favor, while Chuba Hubbard is expected to split work in a 50/50 arrangement initially.

The source expects a good season from Jordan Mason and recommends him as a bench stash, citing very positive reports out of camp. While they hope Aaron Jones does not eat too much into his workload, Mason remains a target for the bench.

Jordan Tyson is viewed as a high-upside player with a projected huge role when healthy, but he is expected to miss at least the first month of the season. The source warns against drafting him unless you have an IR spot, as his current cost does not justify the roster clog in leagues without IR flexibility. He is expected to operate in the shallow and intermediate areas of the field, complementing Chris Olave's deeper route usage.

Josh Downs is recovering from a minor calf injury and appears fine, but the source is hesitant to label him a must-draft due to reports that he is not fully separating on the outside in joint practices, creating uncertainty regarding his role in two-WR sets.

The source has been fading Josh Jacobs all summer due to legal concerns; while current misdemeanor charges may not impact the season, a potential leaked video could lead to a suspension of six or more games or placement on the exempt list. Jacobs is also not considered a 'slam dunk' pick even without legal issues, as MarShawn Lloyd is expected to see increased usage.

The source considers Justin Jefferson a preferred draft pick over Ashen Genti and explicitly states they expect a good season from him.

The source lists Juwan Johnson as one of six preferred tight end options to anchor a fantasy roster this season.

The source recommends drafting Keaton Mitchell only in the late rounds (11-13). They note that he can be rostered alongside Amarian Hampton without concern for correlation issues because the draft capital required for Mitchell is so low.

Kendre Miller will serve as the backup to Travis Etienne while Alvin Kamara is injured. The source notes that Miller will receive consistent touches that take away from Etienne's overall volume.

Kenneth Walker missed practice due to a foot injury, which the team attributed to his cleat causing swelling. While the source finds the specific excuse slightly suspect given Walker's history, they do not recommend changing draft plans as he is expected to be fine.

The source explicitly advises against drafting Kyle Pitts, part of a broader recommendation to avoid Falcons players outside of Bijan Robinson.

Kyren Williams is considered the safest option in half-PPR formats because he plays on what could be the league's number one scoring offense.

Luther Burden returned to practice and is on track for week one. The source considers him a great pick in round five, though warns against drafting him if you already have Colston Loveland in round four to avoid excessive correlated risk for the Chicago offense.

Malik Davis is projected to win the RB2 job in Denver, making him a viable late-round handcuff option, particularly in deeper formats.

Malik Nabers is expected to dominate the Giants' target share once fully active. The source notes that his recent absence from 11-on-11 drills explains the high target volume seen by Isaiah Likely, but Nabers remains the primary focal point of the passing attack.

MarShawn Lloyd is a better late-round pick than Josh Jacobs; if you draft Jacobs, you must draft Lloyd two rounds ahead of his ADP as a necessary handcuff.

The source recommends drafting Matthew Golden, noting he has had a great training camp and is consistently open. Despite negative sentiment from the dynasty community, he is considered the source's favorite Packers player at his current cost.

Mike Evans is expected to play in Week 1, though the source expresses concern over his recurring camp injuries and the impact on his preparation with a new team.

Mike Washington has performed very well in the preseason and is recommended as a handcuff or insurance pick for those who draft Ashen Genti.

Pat Bryant is clearly breaking out during training camp, receiving significant praise from the team, coaching staff, and beat reporters, making him a strong late-round target for fantasy drafts despite uncertainty regarding his immediate starting role.

The source advises against drafting Roman Wilson, citing negative training camp reports that he is losing his grip on the WR3 job and asserting he is not a good wide receiver.

Saquon Barkley is considered to be in the same draft mix as Ashen Genti, with the source noting that Genti could potentially be drafted ahead of him depending on the scoring format.

Sean Tucker is at risk of being cut or replaced by the team as they look to address their backup running back situation.

The source advises against drafting Skyler Bell in standard 8-12 team leagues, viewing him as a name to monitor rather than a draftable asset, despite a decent preseason performance.

The source lists Terrence Ferguson as one of six preferred tight end options to anchor a fantasy roster this season.

Tory Horton is expected to miss a significant portion of time due to injury, which Fantasy Football Advice notes will impact his potential to earn snaps.

The source believes Travis Etienne's fantasy value remains stable despite the current backfield rotation. While Kendre Miller will take some volume while Alvin Kamara is out, Etienne is not expected to see a massive spike in touches, and his value is projected to remain consistent with his production when Kamara was healthy.

Tucker Kraft is a must-draft player who is confirmed to be a full go for Week 1. Despite summer concerns about his availability, he is being priced as if he might miss time. Camp reports indicate he is being targeted heavily in 11-on-11 drills, making him a priority target for those avoiding early-round tight ends.

The source suggests the team could potentially trade for Tyrone Tracy Jr. to address their backup running back situation.

While reports suggest Woody Marks is playing himself into a role this season, the source remains skeptical of the hype and continues to prefer David Montgomery as a more reliable fantasy asset.
