Alvin Kamara - RB

New Orleans Saints

The Saints will open the 2021 season with a home game against the Packers.

The team's post-Brees existence will kick off against a Green Bay team that may or may not have Aaron Rodgers under center. Rodgers has reportedly said he will not return to the Packers after the team's relationship with their franchise player further frayed this offseason. Saints head coach will have presumably announced a starting QB -- either Jameis Winston or Taysom Hill -- long before the team's season opener. Hill holds a little more fantasy appeal due to his rushing upside. Michael Thomas will likely see coverage from stud CB Jaire Alexander. Last year against Green Bay, Alvin Kamara shredded the Packers for 13 reception, 139 yards, and two touchdowns, along with 58 rushing yards.

R. Armstead - RB

JAC

Jaguars waived RB Ryquell Armstead.

Armstead, Jacksonville's former fifth-round pick, was most recently forced to miss all of 2020 while on the team's COVID list. Prior to that he hauled in 14 catches for 144 yards and two touchdowns as Leonard Fournette's direct backup in 2019. 25 in October, it's still possible Armstead receives a camp invite to gauge his health moving forward.

M. Gaskin - RB

MIA

Dolphins RB Myles Gaskin said the team's offensive playbook is "much different than last year."

That's to be expected after Miami swapped former OC Chan Gailey for new co-coordinators Eric Studesville and George Godsey and prioritized its entire offseason around building a foundation for Tua Tagovailoa. Gaskin also said he prioritized "strengthening his knees and ankles" after playing in only 10 games last season. Coach Brian Flores has touted free agent pickup Malcolm Brown as a short-yardage back this offseason, but Gaskin remains the team's primary option with a leg up on passing downs after accruing a 13.4% target share last year. The latter is the best bet to emerge as a strong weekly RB2 at his current ADP (RB22) in Best-Ball formats no matter the team's schematic changes.

Z. Ertz - TE

PHI

The Philadelphia Inquirer's Jeff McLane reports Eagles TE Zach Ertz failed to report to voluntary offseason workouts.

He isn't expected to for as long as his current situation with the front office remains unresolved. 30-year-old Ertz has one foot out the door ahead of training camp, waiting to either become a free agent and have his pick of the litter or be traded elsewhere; that latter situation is a finicky one since the Eagles have reportedly requested a third-round pick in return for his lofty $12.72 million cap hit this year. Ertz has a safe (albeit uninspiring) floor given his soft hands for being the tight end equivalent of a pontoon boat, but he would need to land on a team without competition to offer a(ny) ceiling for fantasy.

Z. Ertz - TE

PHI

Titans signed WR Kalija Lipscomb.

Lipscomb, 23, impressed enough during rookie minicamp to earn a contract. Titans also waived WR Rashard Davis and LB Davin Bellamy with non-football injuries. Lipscomb has yet to play a regular-season snap.

D. Fountain - WR

IND

Chiefs signed WR Daurice Fountain, formerly of the Colts, to a one-year contract.

Fountain has recorded two catches since being drafted with the No. 159 selection in 2018, recovering from three different ankle surgeries in that span. He'll compete to make the roster out of camp.

T. Gillespie - DB

Raiders signed fourth-round S Tyree Gillespie to a four-year contract.

Gillespie (6'0/207) was a two-and-a-half year starter in Missouri's defense, playing at his best when the field was condensed for him and he was simply asked to play fast downhill. Gillespie is a decent hitter, though his downhill play is more about finding himself at the catch point at a decent time. That said, he's not a particularly impressive athlete (1st percentile broad jump, 34th percentile three-cone) and may not have the range to survive as a centerfielder despite what his 4.43 40-yard dash reads. Gillespie is likely a special teamer who could emerge as a decent backup/depth safety as a strong-side player.

T. Hilton - WR

IND

Colts WR T.Y. Hilton said Carson Wentz's arm strength has "jumped out" at offseason workouts.

Hilton said he's excited for "the return of deep shots" in playing with Wentz, who has reportedly looked downfield for the 31-year-old often in camp. Wentz did chuck the ball deep in 2020, tossing it 20-plus yards downfield at the league's sixth-highest rate (13.7%), but struggled to connect on just 33% of those passes with five touchdowns and five picks. The Colts' offense remains dependent on Frank Reich tapping into the Wentz of old, who was an MVP candidate under the former in 2017. Michael Pittman and Hilton would obviously benefit in that scenario, too.

N. Harris - RB

PIT

RB Najee Harris said Steelers offensive coordinator Matt Canada's run game concept are similar to ones used at Alabama.

“The inside zones, the outside zones, the power plays, the one-back power, the duo plays, so a lot of what they are doing in their offense resembles a lot of what we did [at Alabama]," said Harris, the team's first round pick. Canada is expected to bring much more pre-snap motion to Pittsburgh's offense -- a much needed development after a season in which the team's offense often appeared stale and predictable. Canada's mix of gap and zone run plays and the addition of Harris should rejuvenate what was the worst rushing attack in the NFL last year. With no competition in the Steelers backfield, Harris could lead all running backs in touches this season.
