Andrew Luck among fantasy names rising in camp Published: Aug 08, 2018 at 12:32 PM Michael Fabiano If you want to have a dominant fantasy draft, you should be paying close attention to who's making plays out on the gridiron, who's turning heads and who's moving up depth charts. For those of you who might be too busy with the everyday rigors of life to keep tabs on the serious movers and shakers, I'm here to keep you updated on the news you need to know and what it means for your team. Here's a list of 10 players, most of whom you know and a few that beginners might not, who have experienced some level of increased fantasy value after the first week-plus of training camp. Be sure to keep tabs on these players in the weeks to come ... who knows, you might just unearth a bargain or David Ortiz Jersey sleeper. 1. , QB, Indianapolis Colts: If there have been any negative reports on Luck and his return from shoulder surgery, I haven't heard them. He's slated to play a quarter in the ' first preseason game, and if all goes well you're going to see his ADP (average draft position) start to rise. Still, Luck could be an absolute steal for owners who land him in the late rounds of their re-drafts. 2. , RB, New England Patriots: I was on the bandwagon, and I still like the rookie to make an impact. However, the fact that he's dealing with knee problems concerns me when it comes to his early-season role. This ailment also opens the door for Burkhead to be the lead back and keep the role for the duration. His ADP is going to start rising, while Michel's stock declines. 3. , WR, Cleveland Browns: His pep talk on the first episode of Hard Knocks aside, we have seen the trade despite questions about 's return to the team. Rookie is also in the news due to off-the-field i sues, and the rumors have cooled. These situations in are fluid, but Landry is looking better. For now. 4. , WR, San Francisco 49ers: A league winner in the second half of last season, Goodwin has been a star at Niners camp. His rapport with is strong, and he's looked so good that I've seen him J. D. Martinez Jersey drafted ahead of teammate is some mocks. The speedster is no doubt one of the early risers of camp with added value in best-ball formats. 5. , RB, Seattle Seahawks: We all thought was a lock to be a featured back for the this season, but Carson has looked like the lead runner in camp. Even if Penny does make a move and emerge atop the depth chart, Carson doesn't look like he's going anywhere. If a backfield committee emerges, it would put Penny on the bust train and make Carson a nice late pick. 6. , WR, Tampa Bay Buccaneers: One of my favorite deep sleepers, Godwin has earned rave reviews in training camp and looks like the starter opposite with seeing more work in the slot. The downside for the Penn State product is that there are a lot of mouths to feed in the offense, but he's now very much on the fantasy radar and well worth a look Jim Rice Jersey in the late rounds. Takeaways from camp:1) Blake Bortles - throwing ball better after wrist surgery. No open qb competition & new contract have him looking & feeling more comfortable. 2) Keelan Cole is Jags best WR* fantasy alert 3) Myles Jack at MLB - Hes ready now. Much improved Dan Hellie (@DanHellie) 7. , WR, Jacksonville Jaguars: Cole, who showed flashes of potential last season, has been the best wideout in camp thus far. In fact, our Dan Hellie put up a fantasy alert after spending some time watching the team practice. While the Jags are loaded at the position, you have to like Cole as a potential late-round steal in fantasy drafts. Keep him on your deep sleepers list. 8. , RB, Detroit Rick Porcello Jersey Lions: Reports out of camp suggest that Johnson has done well in pa s protection, which is a must if he's ever going to be a true three-down back at the NFL level. That could be a tough goal to accomplish as a rookie, as the field a crowded backfield that also includes and . Still, Johnson has a lot of upside in drafts. 9. , WR, Cincinnati Bengals: Remember Ro s? He was a first-round pick in the NFL draft last year but did nothing as a rookie due to injuries. However, the decision to cut leaves Ro s as the favorite to start opposite . A burner who can stretch defenses, Ro s is now in the late-round conversation in an offense that should be much improved. 10. , TE, Miami Dolphins: Rookie tight ends typically don't make a big fantasy impact, but it's notable that Gesicki is drawing positive reviews as a pa s catcher. He does need to work on his pa s protection, but the rookie out of Penn State has a clear path to a starting job with no longer on the roster. He's developing into a worthwhile late-round flier in drafts. Notes: has reportedly been a stand out performer at camp. A former 1,000 Jimmie Foxx Jersey -yard wideout, he's the favorite to earn a starting role behind . Brown's big i sue has been mi sed time due to his health, but he's looking like a nice late-round pick in traditional and best-ball formats. ... NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport told me via text that has had a "fantastic camp" and is "indispensable" in the offense. He's clearly the back to target in PPR formats, ahead of and . ... 's value rose after being dealt to Buffalo, where he's projected to start opposite . However, he's going into maybe the league's worst quarterback situation and won't warrant more than a late-round flier. ... of the Palm Beach Post told me that is still the favorite for backfield touches in Miami, but that " "the big star of (Colts) training camp: in . is looking like the favorite to start opposite , but nothing is for certain at this point.
