Patriots | New England taking a look at two free agents Mon Aug 10, 01:22 PM
Free-agent TE Jordan Leggett (Buccaneers) and DT Darius Kilgo (Lions) are visiting with the New England Patriots on Monday, Aug. 10. If all goes well with the COVID-19 testing and physicals, then the expectation is the Patriots will sign both, according to sources via NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
| Footballguys view: The Patriots have a pair of talented rookies at the tight end position (Devin Asiasi, Dalton Keene) but they may want more experience in the room. Leggett has always had potential as a pro player but he's far from played up to said potential. |

Colts | T.Y. Hilton feeling better Mon Aug 10, 01:14 PM
Indianapolis Colts WR T.Y. Hilton (hamstring) is reportedly feeling good and believes he has 'maybe a couple more days' before he is ready to practice, although the team's training staff may hold him back for a week just to be on the safe side.
| Footballguys view: Hilton is looking to stay healthy and show off with his new QB Philip Rivers. As the Colts top option, Hilton could outperform his current ADP of WR24 (5.09) in 12-team PPR leagues. |

Bengals | A.J. Green impressing Mon Aug 10, 11:41 AM
Cincinnati Bengals WR A.J. Green impressed teammates with his athleticism last week. 'We're just running routes and haven't gone full speed against the defense,' said tight end C.J. Uzomah, who had to laugh at sophomore tight end Drew Sample's reaction when they ran routes. 'Drew only saw him last year for, what, that first practice? He said, 'I forgot how explosive he is.' I told him, 'You haven't seen the half of it yet.''
| Footballguys view: We're keeping our fingers crossed that Green can look like his old self. Green is playing on the one-year franchise tag but wants to stay with the Bengals with one more contract. Playing like he used to would be a boost for the offense, and Green should become a favorite target of rookie QB Joe Burrow. |

Packers | Allen Lazard the favorite for WR2 Mon Aug 10, 10:05 AM
Green Bay Packers WR Allen Lazard is the overwhelming favorite to start opposite of WR Davante Adams. Lazard was second on the team with 13 receptions on third down last year.
| Footballguys view: Lazard is big and can outmuscle smaller defenders for the ball. He's set to get a large amount of passes thrown his way as the no.2 receiver catching the rock from Aaron Rodgers. Lazard has a current ADP of WR58 (13.11) in 12-team PPR leagues. |
Football Team | Bryce Love one to watch Mon Aug 10, 09:14 AM
Washington Football Team RB Bryce Love (knee) is looking and feeling well, and he could be a surprise in the backfield, according to sources.
| Footballguys view: Love followed up Christian McCaffrey at Stanford and was a fantastic college running back when healthy. A knee injury caused his production to decline and that injury lingered into his first pro season in 2019. Last year served as a redshirt season for Love. Even though they picked him up in the fourth round, Washington wanted to get Love back to full strength. Now, it seems like he's there and has the playmaking ability to be a difference maker in the NFL. Love will compete with guys like Adrian Peterson and Antonio Gibson for playing time in 2020. |

49ers | Jordan Reed officially part of SF Sun Aug 9, 04:39 PM
Free-agent TE Jordan Reed (Football Team) officially signed a one-year contract with the San Francisco 49ers Sunday, Aug. 9. Financial terms were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Don't let this change your view of George Kittle. Reed could help patch up the injuries and inexperience at slot receiver as much as he could force his way into two tight end sets and take a few targets away from Kittle. |

Detroit Lions CB Michael Jackson was acquired by the New England Patriots Sunday, Aug. 9, in exchange for an undisclosed 2022 draft choice.
| Footballguys view: Jackson is a long corner with speed who will fit in the Patriots defense if he can make the team. He was going to be released as the Lions cut down to 80 players, but Bill Belichick thought he was worth trading for. |

Free-agent DT Mike Daniels (Lions) is meeting with the Cincinnati Bengals Sunday, Aug. 9, and is expected to sign with the team, according to a source.

Rams | A'Shawn Robinson expected to play in 2020 Sun Aug 9, 02:48 PM
Los Angeles Rams DT A'Shawn Robinson (undisclosed) is expected to play at some point during the 2020 season, but the team will take things slow with him since he was diagnosed with a medical issue during the medical on-boarding process.
| Footballguys view: Robinson was signed to help the run defense and provide toughness at nose tackle and defensive end. It sounds like he'll miss regular season games as a precaution, which will get Sebastian Joseph-Day and Greg Gaines on the field more. Ezekiel Elliott's Week 1 matchup just got better. |
A'Shawn Robinson player page
Bills | Duke Williams off COVID list Sun Aug 9, 02:47 PM
Buffalo Bills WR Duke Williams was activated from the Reserve/COVID-19 list Sunday, Aug. 9. The team also released CB Akeem King.
| Footballguys view: King was possibly in the mix for the last roster spot at corner after EJ Gaines opted out, but the team didn't see anything worth keeping in his very short stint with the team. Williams is a solid blocking wide receiver and had his moments last year, but could be on the outside looking in after the Bills drafted two wide receivers and traded for Stefon Diggs this offseason. |
Football Team | Logan Thomas ready to practice Sun Aug 9, 02:24 PM
Washington Football Team TE Logan Thomas was activated from the Reserve/COVID-19 list Sunday, Aug. 9.
| Footballguys view: Thomas has a chance to lead the Washington tight ends in receptions. The former quarterback has flashed excellent hands and athleticism in a small sample with the Lions. Leading the Washington tight end group is still probably not a path to fantasy relevance, but Thomas is worth monitoring in deep tight end premium leagues. |

Atlanta Falcons CB Darqueze Dennard will compete for a starting position in the team's secondary at left cornerback and could be used in nickel packages if CB Kendall Sheffield is moved outside, according to head coach Dan Quinn.
| Footballguys view: The Falcons let Desmond Trufant go in the offseason and will be playing some inexperienced players at cornerback this year. Dennard is basically the elder statesman of the group and should fit in at least in subpackages. |

Football Team | Reuben Foster removed from PUP list Sun Aug 9, 10:00 AM
Washington Football Team LB Reuben Foster (knee) was removed from the Active/Physically Unable to Perform list Sunday, Aug. 9.

Lions | Detroit waives five players Sun Aug 9, 09:33 AM
The Detroit Lions waived WR Chris Lacy, OG Josh Garnett, LB Christian Sam, DE Jonathan Wynn and DB Michael Jackson Sunday, Aug. 9.
| Footballguys view: Garnett was once a first round pick for the Chip Kelly 49ers. Lacy has length and had hung around the Lions roster a few times in the last two years, so he could surface again elsewhere. |

Dolphins | Chester Rogers signed Sun Aug 9, 09:31 AM
The Miami Dolphins signed free-agent WR Chester Rogers (Colts) to a one-year contract Sunday, Oct. 9. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Rogers, Isaiah Ford, and Jakeem Grant will compete to be the #3 receiver behind DeVante Parker and Preston Williams. Williams isn't a sure thing to be ready for Week 1, so there's an outside chance that Rogers starts Week 1. He can also help on special teams. The Dolphins needed camp bodies who can contribute after Allen Hurns and Albert Wilson opted out. |

Bengals | A.J. Green working to avoid injuries Sat Aug 8, 11:06 PM
Cincinnati Bengals WR A.J. Green said his training regiment is designed to help him avoid the injuries he has dealt with the last couple of seasons. 'We did more stuff in testing those ankles, strengthen those ankles, strengthen these toes, learning how to land better,' Green said. 'Just little things like that I didn't do in previous years.'
| Footballguys view: Green has missed some or all of the season due to leg/foot injuries three of the last four years, but he has still been an elite fantasy option when he is on the field. His ADP isn't that different than it was at this time last year, when we already knew that he was injured and going to miss some regular season time. |
