It can be hard to prep for fantasy football during training camp and the preseason. Things happen every day that might be a huge deal for fantasy … or might be no deal at all. Sometimes we can figure it out, but sometimes it’s just a matter of paying attention to what happens to know what might matter just so things don’t slip through the cracks.

 

So each day in this space, we’ll take a trip through the top news and takeaways around the league’s training camps to offer up what fantasy managers need to know as we head through draft season and into the 2022 NFL regular season.

RB Najee Harris has a Lisfranc injury

’ mystery foot ailment turned out to be more serious than initially let on. He’s dealing with a Lisfranc injury for four weeks — the majority of training camp. He played in Week 3 and had seven total touches, so his Week 1 availability doesn’t seem to be in question, but these injuries do sometimes linger, so it’s something to keep an eye on. Harris is still worth a late first-round fantasy pick.

QB Jimmy Garoppolo lands a new deal with the 49ers

has signed a new deal to stay with the 49ers to remain their backup QB. is the starter, but the pressure certainly seems to be on. Lance’s fantasy upside is immense, but the downside may be that he’s just not NFL caliber.

RB Kenyan Drake potentially signing with the Ravens

is on the PUP list and will miss at least four weeks, while remains questionable for Week 1. Enter .

WR Laviska Shenault traded to the Carolina Panthers

, a former top-50 overall pick, is out in Jacksonville after the team reloaded its WR corps with and joining

atop the depth chart, the Dolphins elected to move on from . They have plenty of depth with Edmonds, , and .

Michel was solid playing for the Rams last season, and he averaged 90 rushing yards per game over the final 6 games of the season. He’s still good enough to earn touches somewhere, so Michel becomes the latest free agent landmine for mediocre backfields. With that said, wherever he lands, it will be as a backup.

Chiefs WRs get healthy

exited the concussion protocol Monday, and (knee) returned to practice after missing two weeks. 

WR Drake London still hasn’t practiced

The rookie WR hasn’t practiced since Aug. 12, and his Week 1 status is officially in the air.
