Source: MRI confirmed Broncos standout WR Tim Patrick suffered season-ending ACL injury Tuesday.

The worst is confirmed for Patrick, and he'll miss the 2022 season. Hamler should see an increased role as the team's WR3, but it could also mean more passing work for the RBs and TE Okwuegbunam.

Tim Patrick is getting carted off the field at Broncos camp after twisting his leg coming down from a crazy leaping catch.

The tweet said the entire team is huddled around him as he gets loaded onto the cart. We'll have to wait for more information but this doesn't sound good. Patrick was the team's WR3 behind Sutton and Jeudy. It could mean Hamler and Hinton get a chance at that spot if Patrick has to miss extended time.

Rams head coach Sean McVay says Jefferson has a "little knee tweak", the timetable for return is a few weeks.

This puts a bit of a damper on anyone who has already drafted Van Jefferson this summer, but McVay also stated that there is "definitely a chance" that he will be ready for the season-opener against the Bills. This may end up being the landing spot for Will Fuller, who still remains a free agent at this time.

Main takeaway from 2 days at Rams camp: The staff here is in love with Allen Robinson.

The tweet said they love his approach in meetings to what he can give them in this offense. The tweet added his route tree and where he can line up are more varied than they’d even hoped. Mays predicted a potential monster year incoming for Robinson. As we pointed out in his bio, Robinson is only one season removed from 102-1,250-6 in 2020. Robinson will essentially take over the Robert Woods/Odell Beckham role for the Rams. Woods was the WR12 through Week 9, when he tore his ACL. Beckham took over in Week 12 and was the WR21 down the stretch. When their numbers are averaged and prorated, it equates to 194.7 fantasy points, which is about what Michael Pittman scored as last year’s WR15. Robinson is the WR22 off the board which looks like a good value given his proven production and the valuable role he’s about to step into.

Lions 1st round pick Jameson Williams is not expected to be ready for training camp following ACL surgery following the National Championship game January 10.

"If Williams doesn’t practice at all in training camp, he could be a candidate to go on the physically unable to perform list, or open the season on injured reserve with a designation for return," writes Kyle Meinke of MLive.com. "Either designation would force him to miss at least four games, pushing his Lions debut to at least the Week 5 game in New England. The club is off the following week, so if he doesn’t play in New England, his debut might not occur until Oct. 23 in Dallas."

While not a surprise, it is a sobering report. Look for Josh Reynolds, a midseason acquisition last season, to get the most looks in Williams' stead in three-wide sets.

Bears beat reporter Courtney Cronin gave a detailed look at the new Bears offense being installed, and a lot of it revolves around QB Justin Fields and moving. “I don't want to get too much in detail with it, but Justin’s on the move a lot, and I think he does well with that,” tight end Cole Kmet said. “That’s been exciting to see, and you see the types of throws he can make with his legs and on the run and off-schedule.”

Cronin also touched on Fields and Eberflus' relationship getting stronger and his ability to pick up the offense. “We have to be on the same page, always,” Getsy said. “That’s where I feel like he’s grown, is communicating with me so well now, things that he’s feelings, things that he sees and so that part of it has just been tremendous for a young guy to be able to do that.”

Second-year tackle Teven Jenkins also commented on how the offense looks from his point of view. “It is a big difference,” Jenkins said of the scheme. “It’s a lot faster pace, a lot more up-tempo, getting around, setting edges, all that stuff. How that affects you is you got to slim down a little bit more, get faster, speeding up in certain areas.”

The article also focuses on RB David Montgomery and his role in the new offense.

The Bears offense is one of the biggest question marks for fantasy players ahead of 2022 drafts. Even if the coaching staff is just blowing smoke towards reporters, what the offense is doing in OTAs is at least foundational for expectations this season.

The Los Angeles Rams have signed WR Allen Robinson to a three-year deal.

Excellent landing spot for A-Rob on paper, and Robert Woods' return from a torn ACL is the difference between him being the WR2 and WR3 on a loaded Rams offense.

The Detroit Lions are keeping WR Kalif Raymond after signing him to a two-year deal.

The little WR corps that could is back together in Detroit and now also boasts D.J. Chark. The Lions should add another wideout in free agency or the draft, making Raymond a waiver wire watch.

Lions HC Dan Campbell told reporters Friday that QB Jared Goff (knee) is probable to play Week 18 against the Green Bay Packers.

Goff appears to be set to end his first season in Detroit starting and not injured. His fantasy value comes if the Packers are resting multiple defensive starters.

The Denver Broncos have activated WRs Jerry Jeudy and Tim Patrick from the reserve/COVID list.
