  • Blake Corum LAR RB
    Rams' Blake Corum: Looking more explosive
    8h ago

    Teammate Kyren Williams said last week that Corum looks "a lot leaner" and "more explosive" headed into his third season, Nate Atkins of The Athletic reports.

    Corum's workout videos from the offseason went viral on social media, as he was shown doing speed and agility drills barefoot in the gym with his trainer. He made it a point to work on fast-twitch movements to add explosion in 2026. After averaging a robust 5.1 yards per carry on 145 rushing attempts last regular season, Corum is expected to remain a big factor in the Rams' backfield alongside Williams. In Los Angeles' high-powered offense, Corum is a popular RB3 fantasy pick with big upside after compiling 746 rushing yards and six touchdowns while playing second fiddle to Williams in 2025. If Williams were to go down with an injury, Corum would be an immediate plug-and-play RB1.

    Patriots' Rhamondre Stevenson: Shining in red zone
    8h ago

    Stevenson has shined in red-zone drills and as a receiver at training camp, Mark Daniels of MassLive.com reports.

    Stevenson was a standout in Tuesday's joint practice with the Colts, skying over a defender for a touchdown catch in the end zone, while making "multiple nice plays" throughout the day, per Daniels. While TreVeyon Henderson is the shiny 2025 early-round pick, Stevenson has been the steady presence atop the depth chart this summer after he averaged a strong 4.6 yards per carry across 14 regular-season appearances last season. Stevenson also played 70 percent of the offensive snaps to Henderson's 32 percent during New England's playoff run. Stevenson is still being drafted after Henderson in fantasy and looks like one of the better value picks in the middle rounds, especially after he had a career year as a receiver in 2025, averaging 10.8 yards on 32 catches during the regular season.

    Buccaneers' Bucky Irving: Making impression on new OC
    8h ago

    Irving has impressed new offensive coordinator Zac Robinson throughout training camp, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Irving is coming off of an injury-riddled sophomore campaign with the Buccaneers in 2025, ultimately being limited to just 10 regular-season contests. The running back compiled 588 rushing yards and one touchdown over 173 carries, which was rather disappointing after he registered 1,122 yards and eight scores on 207 rushes in 2024. Irving was also able to secure 30 catches for 277 yards, including the first three receiving scores of his career, during the 2025 season. Ahead of the upcoming season, new OC Zac Robinson has been impressed by the soon-to-be 24-year-old's ability to stay connected to the ground, allowing the running back to leave defenders in his dust. "He's always able to change direction and that keeps him so balanced to be able to break tackles," said Robinson. The coordinator spent the last two seasons calling plays for Atlanta's superstar running back Bijan Robinson, and Irving will look to elevate his performance within Zac Robinson's system.

  • D'Andre Swift CHI RB
    Bears' D'Andre Swift: Having standout camp
    8h ago

    Swift has been one of the brightest stars of training camp for the Bears, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.

    Swift broke off a 62-yard touchdown in Tuesday's practice and also trucked a defender on a run to the outside. "I'm excited for him," Caleb Williams said Tuesday. "Selfishly, he helps everybody on that field when he can go and be the special back that he is, whether it's passing or short yardage and running downhill. I'm excited for him, I think he's going to have a great year." Swift rushed for a career-high 1,087 yards and nine touchdowns on 223 carries (4.9 YPC) across 16 regular-season games last season and should head into 2026 as the clear lead back in Chicago ahead of Kyle Monangai. The scoring upside of the Chicago offense has Swift on the fantasy RB2 map.

  • Tutu Atwell MIA WR
    Dolphins' Tutu Atwell: Second-teamer on first depth chart
    8h ago

    Atwell is listed with the second-team offense on the Dolphins' first unofficial depth chart of training camp, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

    Fellow wide receivers Malik Washington, Jalen Tolbert and rookie third-round pick Caleb Douglas composed the first team, while rookie fifth-rounder Kevin Coleman (undisclosed) and Jalen Reagor joined Atwell on the second unit. Depth charts at this time of year need to be taken with a grain of salt, but considering Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reported last week that Washington, Tolbert and Atwell had separated themselves as the top three WRs through the first week of camp, Douglas' ability to rise above Atwell is notable. In the end, how Atwell and Douglas fare in the preseason will determine who begins the campaign with more reps in three-wide sets.

  • David Montgomery HOU RB
    Texans' David Montgomery: Getting involved in pass game
    8h ago

    Montgomery caught an 80-yard touchdown on a wheel route in Tuesday's practice, DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com reports.

    It was the biggest play of training camp to date, according to Bien-Aime, and it's further proof that the Texans are serious about getting Montgomery involved in the passing game after he was used more as the thunder to Jahmyr Gibbs' lightning in Detroit the previous couple seasons. Despite losing those chances to Gibbs with the Lions, Montgomery has shown in the past that he's more than capable of making plays as a receiver. He caught 54 passes in 2020 with the Bears and secured 36 of 38 targets for 341 yards in 2024. While Woody Marks will have a role, Montgomery is expected to open the season as the clear RB1 in Houston.

    Reds' Tyler Stephenson: Provides key hit in win

    Stephenson went 1-for-4 with two RBI in Tuesday's 5-4 extra-inning win over the White Sox.

    Cincinnati hitters were befuddled by Chicago starter Sean Burke for seven innings but made their move in the eighth, scoring three runs against the White Sox's bullpen. Stephenson's two-run, bases-loaded single plated the game-tying run and set up the need for an the extra inning. The catcher continued a productive stretch since the All-Star break and is slashing .288/.373/.593 with 11 RBI over the last 17 contests.

    Nootbaar batted leadoff and went 0-for-3 in Tuesday's 3-2 loss Colorado.

    Nootbaar filled in at leadoff for the injured Geraldo Perdomo (knee), whose injury did not sound serious, per comments from manager Torey Lovullo in a report from Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports. Since joining the Diamondbacks at the trade deadline, Nootbaar is 3-for-23 (.130) with five walks, one double, one RBI and two runs scored over seven games.

    Diamondbacks' Ildemaro Vargas: Takes over at shortstop
    28m ago

    Vargas started at shortstop and went 0-for-3 in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Rockies.

    Vargas filled in for the injured Geraldo Perdomo (knee). Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said prior to the game that Perdomo could be available off the bench -- he didn't play in the loss -- and sounded like the injury is not serious, per Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports. Vargas, who has career highs in games played (105) and plate appearances (364) this season, has slipped back into a utility role off the bench and recently lost playing time at first base to Tim Tawa.

    Rangers' Joc Pederson: Homers, walks three times in loss
    4h ago

    Pederson went 1-for-1 with a solo home run and three walks in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Angels.

    Pederson opened the game by taking Ryan Johnson deep for his seventh leadoff homer and 22nd long ball of the season. It was his fifth home run over his last 15 games, prompting Los Angeles to pitch around his hot bat and walk him in each of his final three plate appearances. The strategy paid off, as Texas managed only two runs in the loss. Pederson is now one homer shy of matching his highest single-season total since 2020. Through 108 games this season, he owns an .854 OPS

    Padres' Luis Campusano: Powers Padres in blowout win
    4h ago

    Campusano went 3-for-4 with a home run, a walk, three RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's 11-2 win over the Brewers.

    Campusano launched San Diego's third homer off Kyle Harrison, taking the left-hander deep for a two-run shot in the fifth inning for his fifth long ball of the season. He added singles in each of his next two at-bats, with one driving in another run to cap his three-RBI performance. Campusano has been swinging a hot bat lately, collecting 14 hits over his last 10 games. He owns an impressive .311 average and .410 OBP on the season, though his .250 expected average suggests some negative regression could be coming.

    Rays' Shane McClanahan: Perfect in rehab start

    McClanahan (back) threw three perfect innings in a rehab start for Triple-A Durham on Tuesday. He struck out two.

    After tossing two innings in a simulated game Thursday, McClanahan was flawless Tuesday in the next step of his recovery. The left-hander threw 30 pitches in the outing and averaged 95.7 mph with his fastball, which is right on par with his season average. McClanahan is working his way back from left mid-back tightness, and it's possible his next appearance will come in the major leagues.

    Magic's Noah Penda: Bracing for camp battle

    Penda could need an impressive training camp with the Magic to carve out a larger role in 2026-27.

    Orlando kept virtually all of its core from 2025-26 intact, so a similar role could be in store for Penda in 2026-27. After averaging only 12.8 minutes per game last regular season, the 2025 second-rounder has Jamal Cain, Tristan da Silva and Jase Richardson as his primary threats for playing time ahead of camp.

    The 2025 first-rounder was not a big part of Orlando's rotation in his rookie season, averaging 10.9 minutes per game over 54 regular-season appearances. With Anthony Black primed to serve as the Magic's sixth man off the bench, Richardson is left to compete with the likes of Jamal Cain, Noah Penda and Jevon Carter for reserve minutes this season.

    Fleming will likely have to navigate through a crowded Suns frontcourt for an Opening Night role.

Jordan Goodwin, Haywood Highsmith and Ryan Dunn are also vying to be part of the squad's rotation, so Fleming has plenty of hurdles to overcome in order to attain fantasy relevance in 2026-27.

    The 19-year-old big man put forth a dominant Summer League run, averaging 19.5 points, 12.8 rebounds, 2.0 blocks and 1.2 steals per game while shooting 53.2 percent from the field over four appearances. Ighodaro is the early favorite to handle the No. 2 center minutes behind Williams, though a strong showing at camp could force the Suns to give Maluach more consideration.
