YOU NEED TO KNOW this 2026 NFL Training Camp News

Alvin Kamara is considered 'dust' and unlikely to handle an every-down role. The team is expected to segment the backfield, and he is not a recommended target at his current cost.

Ashton Jeanty is expected to handle a bell-cow role in the Raiders' offense under Clint Kubiak, with reports indicating increased involvement in the passing game and improvements to the offensive line. While he has significant upside, there is more uncertainty regarding the Raiders' overall offensive efficiency compared to the Bills.

Brian Thomas Jr. is expected to serve as the deep-threat receiver in the Jaguars' offense, running routes that clear out defenses to open up space for underneath targets like Parker Washington.

Caleb Douglas is a deep sleeper who could see immediate impact for the Dolphins. He offers a unique combination of size and speed that the current wide receiver room lacks, positioning him to potentially play early.

Johnny Tuma views Colston Loveland as a talented tight end who could lead the team in receiving, but notes that for both him and Luther Burden to succeed, Caleb Williams would need to exceed 4,200 passing yards, which Tuma finds unlikely.

Colston Loveland is viewed as an elite talent at tight end, comparable to Brock Bowers rather than Sam LaPorta. Despite a crowded target environment, his late-season usage in the playoffs—where he was a primary target for Caleb Williams on critical downs—suggests significant upside.

Johnny Tuma considers DeAndre Swift a great value at his current ADP, noting his productive role in an ascending offense and his ability to function as a dual-threat back.

Johnny Tuma expects David Montgomery to step into a bell-cow role for the Texans, citing Dan Quinn's preference for a three-down back and the team's run-first identity. Despite concerns about the offensive line, Tuma views Montgomery as an insane value in the fourth or fifth round.

Elijah Surratt is a preferred target over Jacoby Lane for the Ravens. He is viewed as a better fit for the offense due to his ability to play the power slot and catch passes over the middle, with high expectations for his long-term productivity.

Emmanuel Wilson is highlighted as a talented backup who has proven he can handle a full workload, making him a more intriguing late-round flyer than George Holani.

George Holani is viewed as a pass-blocking specialist similar to LaQuint Allen, likely filling a third-down role rather than becoming a primary fantasy asset. While he is a late-round flyer in best ball, he is not expected to be a high-volume runner.

Jadarian Price is a viable target as an RB3 with significant upside due to vacated opportunities in the Seahawks backfield. While there are concerns about his rookie ramp-up, he is preferred over other mid-round options like Chuba Hubbard or Tony Pollard if he falls in drafts.

Zane Danani suggests James Cook is underrated due to a potential increase in pass-catching volume under new offensive coordinator Pete Carmichael, who historically utilizes running backs in the passing game. While Cook may see a slight reduction in carries to accommodate Ray Davis, the shift toward a 50-60% route share could add 1-2 fantasy points per game, potentially pushing him into the top-3 to top-5 RB threshold.

Johnny Tuma projects a solid floor for Jameson Williams, estimating around 1,000 yards and seven touchdowns, though he expresses limited personal enthusiasm for his upside compared to other options.

Johnny Tuma views Jameson Williams as a boom-or-bust player compared to the more consistent PPR floor offered by Parker Washington, noting that in shallow-start leagues, the volatility of Williams makes him a less desirable asset.

Johnny Tuma is not actively drafting Kyle Monangai, viewing him as a replacement-level talent despite his efficiency last year. While he acknowledges Monangai's contingent upside if DeAndre Swift misses time, he prefers other options like RJ Harvey or Jonathan Brooks in that draft range.

Johnny Tuma is high on Luther Burden, citing Ben Johnson's praise of him as a 'YAC monster' and comparisons to Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jarvis Landry. Tuma believes Burden's role in the slot makes him a high-floor, high-ceiling asset in the Bears' offense.

Parker Washington is a high-conviction breakout candidate in the Jaguars' offense. Reports from training camp indicate he is consistently on the field, including in 12 and 13 personnel sets, and is a focal point for offensive coordinator Liam Cohen. His usage in the slot and downfield, combined with his efficiency metrics (4th in explosive play rating), suggests he could provide significant PPR value.

Johnny Tuma views Parker Washington as a high-upside play, noting that while Jameson Williams offers a solid floor of roughly 1,000 yards and seven touchdowns, Washington's upside tips the scales in his favor when comparing the two.

Ray Davis is expected to absorb some of the between-the-20s carries from James Cook, potentially taking two or three carries per game to allow Cook to focus more on pass-catching duties.

Johnny Tuma expresses skepticism regarding Rome Odunze's fantasy outlook, noting that he is being utilized as an intermediate and deep threat, which may not align well with Caleb Williams' current accuracy issues.

Travis Etienne is being faded because he is not viewed as an above-average NFL running back. His production is expected to be limited by a backfield split, and his past explosive plays were largely attributed to massive blocking lanes rather than individual talent.

Travis Hunter is primarily lining up as an outside receiver in Jaguars training camp, which suggests he will not significantly cannibalize the slot snaps occupied by Parker Washington.

Johnny Tuma views Woody Marks as a complementary piece rather than a lead back, noting his history of health issues and predicting he will likely fill a role similar to Dare Ogunbowale, focusing on pass protection and occasional routes rather than primary rushing duties.
