Q: What are the reasonable expectations for rookie receivers Marqise Lee and Allen Robinson?

A: The Jaguars used the 39th overall pick to select Lee from USC and then traded up to No. 60 to take Robinson from Penn State on the draft’s second night.

Lee and Robinson will get ample opportunities to play right away … they just have to get on the field. Lee (ankle) and Robinson (hamstring) both missed the last five OTAs and all three mini-camp practices.

Their absence allowed Allen Hurns, Kerry Taylor, Damian Copeland, etc., to show their talents, but make no mistake, the Jaguars’ depth chart is 1. Cecil Shorts and 2./3. Lee or Robinson.

Fantasy Impact:

It looks like one of Lee or Robinson will win a job across from Shorts. Right now we have Lee ranked 59th vs. Robinson at 110. Neither are getting drafted in 10-team leagues, but obviously there could be some potential there and this is something to watch through camp.

Ravens RB Keaton Mitchell (knee) has chance to play Week 10

CBS Sports

50 minutes ago

Head coach John Harbaugh told reporters Monday that Keaton Mitchell (knee) has a chance to play in Thursday night's matchup against the Bengals, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

Related players: Derrick Henry, Justice Hill

Fantasy Impact:

Mitchell tore his ACL in Week 15 last year but has been practicing fully since last week. He didn't play in Week 9 but could get the call in Week 10. We all remember how explosive Mitchell was last year and eventually had stand-alone fantasy value despite not being a bell cow type back. He probably won't be that this season either with Henry leading the way and Hill also showing he's productive. Mitchell will also likely be eased back in the lineup at least to start, but at some point Mitchell could perhaps take over Hill's workload if he can prove to be as dynamic as he was a year ago.

WR Amari Cooper, CB Christian Benford and FB Reggie Gilliam are all considered day-to-day, according to Bills head coach Sean McDermott.

Fantasy Impact:

It was a surprise that Cooper was inactive leading up to Week 9. Cooper did log limited sessions last week, so owners will want to pay close attention to this week's practice reports to see if Cooper can get in a full session. The good news for owners is Cooper and the Bills play an early Sunday game at the Colts, so owners should know in plenty of time to adjust their lineups based on Coopers game status.
