Tom Brady "feasted" on Eagles secondary

Aug 08, 2013

Not surprisingly, Patriots QB Tom Brady feasted on the Eagles’ suspect secondary over the last two days during 7-on-7 and 11-on-11 drills. On Tuesday, he threw several touchdowns during red-zone sessions and went long stretches without an incompletion.

Patriots wide receiver Kenbrell Thompkins and tight end Zach Sudfeld both made big plays Tuesday, but it was the connection between Brady and wide receiver Danny Amendola that people talked about after practice. Early in the afternoon, Amendola dropped what would have been an easy touchdown as he crossed the goal line. Amendola made amends for that mistake later when he and Brady switched a call at the line of scrimmage using hand signals. That play resulted in a touchdown.

Fantasy Impact:

The receiver situation in New England is a concern, but it sounds like Brady has made strong connections with Danny Amendola and Kenbrell Thompkins. He's still a solid pick in the 6th/7th round.

Chargers set to open window for RB J.K. Dobbins (knee)

Chargers will be opening J.K. Dobbins' 21-day window today, Jim Harbaugh tells reporters.

Related players: Gus Edwards

Fantasy Impact:

Dobbins has been on IR for the past four games with a knee injury. He's not a lock to play this week and he's not a lock for a safe workload even if he does play. The Chargers travel to New England in Week 17, so the matchup isn't a bad one. It's an early window game on Sunday, so owners should have plenty of notice. We'll also keep an eye on the practice reports this week.

Dolphins unsure of WR Jaylen Waddle's (knee) status for Week 17

McDaniel non-committal on whether Jaylen Waddle (knee) will practice this week: "I'm expecting to get everything from Waddle that he can do... I've [talked to] the trainer to make sure we protect him from himself. We will see how the week progresses. I don't know exactly what it will look like."

Fantasy Impact:

Waddle owners should probably not count on Waddle for Week 17, or at the very least have a backup plan. Waddle and the Dolphins play the Browns in the later window on Sunday so it could further complicate things for owners who were hoping to play him.

Texans WR Tank Dell tore ACL, dislocated knee

DeMeco Ryans says WR Tank Dell tore his ACL along with dislocating his knee.

Fantasy Impact:

No surprises here as it was a terrible injury to watch during the game. While he's obviously out for the season, the bigger question is what will his status be for 2025. It's a huge question mark at this point given the seriousness of the injury. Even if Dell is able to play next season, he may take a while to get back to 100%.
