According to The Athletic, Zack Moss has a chance to emerge as the starter if Devin Singletary continues to struggle in pass protection, and with holding onto the ball.

According to Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic, Zack Moss has continually impressed with his readiness for a workload on every down. He is a better pass protector than Devin Singletary, and is just as capable (while likely not as explosive) as a receiver. He went on to say this about the potential workload split between SIngletary and Moss: “What could affect all of that is how Singletary performs in blitz pickup and ball security. The Bills love Singletary’s vision and instincts, but if his fumbling issues carry over into 2020, Moss could take over as the lead back. Singletary fumbled twice in a shortened camp and McDermott has highlighted ball security as a critical area for him. Moss already looks like he belongs and will provide the physical edge the Bills need in the run game. His vision and explosiveness between the tackles have popped.”. We have Zack Moss (28th) ranked above Devin Singletary (34th) for this very reason.

The second best receiver at Patriots camp has been Gunner Olszewski according to NFL Network's Mike Giardi and NFL.com's Around the NFL. Giardi reported that Olszewski has "made a leap and is 'faster, stronger, quicker,' but may be more of a target similar to Edelman than he is a complement."

Olszewski made waves last season amidst the band of misfits used by the Patriots and has usurped Mohamed Sanu and N'Keal Harry, two players with draft capital attached to them. This news may afford fantasy players with another cheap WR dart throw, but may be a warning to avoid receivers in New England.

Sterling Shepard has torched every Giants corner in camp according to Dan Duggan of The Athletic. "The only lingering concern is if he’ll be able to avoid another concussion when the season starts," wrote Duggan.

Duggan started the WR breakdown of his Friday article by saying the depth chart remains intact. He added that Golden Tate has the ability to play longer than most wide receivers and Darius Slayton is not expected to have a sophomore slump despite a quiet camp.

There has been a groundswell of praise for Shepard during camp. His health, as well as Tate's, are key to second year QB Daniel Jones' growth. Slayton was his favorite target as a whole in 2019, but his targets dropped when one or both of Shepard and Tate were healthy. The trio should be targets at their lower ADPs. Do not expect them to stay low for very long as draft season continues to press on.

According to The Athletic, Buffalo Bills running back Devin Singletary has continued to fumble the ball in practice.

Devin Singletary’s fumble woes seem to have followed him to his sophomore season. While most are expecting a breakout from Singletary, the team did draft Zack Moss, a powerful runner who has continued to impress in camp as both a runner and a receiver. According to The Athletic, “Singletary had the highest fumble rate of any running back in the NFL who played regularly in 2019”. If Singletary continues to put the pill on the ground, he is going to allow Moss to eat into a larger share of the workload than many are projecting. This will be something to keep an eye on during the season, as if this issue persists, it may be Zack Moss, and not Singletary, who ends up leading the team in carries.

Drew Lock/Courtland Sutton. The first 11-on-11 play of training camp was a pass to Sutton and the duo are trending the right away. The in-sync part is important because I haven’t seen a glaring miscommunication between Lock and Sutton yet, which is a good sign considering the new playbook.

Lock/Jerry Jeudy. Agreed on your “getting there” analysis. They’ve had several nice completions, the same for Jeudy and backup quarterback Jeff Driskel.

Lock/K.J. Hamler. A tough break for the offense and for Hamler, who is out multiple weeks with a hamstring injury and whose status for Week 1 is in doubt. When Hamler gets back to practice, he and Lock will have to start over.

With Hamler out, the story said guys like tight ends Albert Okwuegbunam and Jake Butt and receivers Tim Patrick, DaeSean Hamilton and Tyrie Cleveland have all picked up the slack. Lock had time with Sutton last year so it makes sense they are on the same page. Jeudy will be a key to the offense as he and Lock look to get more comfortable with one another.

After a day off, Devin Singletary battled back for his best practice of camp Sunday.

The second-year runner trusted what he saw forming in front of him and used his vision and quickness to put together several solid rushes between the tackles. Singletary looked confident and decisive and held on to the ball Sunday.

Singletary’s positive day also came during the least productive session from Zack Moss through six days of camp.

Up to that point, the story said Moss had been outplaying Singletary and taking advantage of all his chances. Still Singletary's fantasy value takes a hit this year we think. Moss likely will be the short-yardage back, taking over for Frank Gore, with Singletary the main pass-catching back. We rank Singletary 31st among our RBs with Moss coming in at 42nd.

Corey Coleman took the top off the defense twice, including once against top cornerback James Bradberry.

But as the story said, Coleman is a tier below the Giants’ top three receivers but, as a former first-round pick playing for his fourth team, has a higher profile than the many undrafted receivers bidding for a roster spot. He has cut around the field with no hint of last year’s ACL surgery.

This speaks to the Patriots' talent at WR but also his development, Gunner Olszewski has looked like the second best WR in camp behind Julian Edelman, though N'Keal Harry made a push today.

Kyed mentioned again that Harry had a big day on Monday, but up to this point Olszewski had been most impressive behind Edelman. Olszewski doesn't make our WR list while guys like Meyers and Sanu remain behind Edelman and Harry. With three weeks to go before the start of the season, keep an eye on Olszewski.

Frank Gore acknowledged that teammate LeVeon Bell is "the lead dog" in the New York Jets' backfield, but that doesn't mean the age-defying Gore will be content in a token role. He's coming off a season in which he felt he could've reached the 1,000-yard mark for the 10th time in his career.

"I feel like if they would've let me play, I would've had over 1,000," Gore said Monday, referring to the Buffalo Bills.

Gore rushed for 422 yards in the first seven games, but he was replaced by rookie Devin Singletary and finished with only 599 -- a career low.

This is not the first story we've seen about Gore having more than just a backup role in the offense. HC Adam Gase never seemed thrilled to have Bell in the backfield, and given how much Gase loved having Gore in Miami, it's possible Gore is more than just a backup to Bell this season. It sounds like Gore will be an option to help lessen Bell's workload and also keep him healthy.

Kicker Chandler Catanzaro once filled in for Graham Gano in Carolina while Gano was injured, but a healthy Gano has squeezed him out of a job with the Giants.

Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that the Giants are releasing Catanzaro.

This comes a day after the Giants reached agreement with Gano on a contract. Catanzaro signed with the Giants last month after they cut ties with Aldrick Rosas. Rosas faces three charges related to a hit-and-run collision.
