2016 Fantasy Football Stock Report – Week of July 11
July 18
Arian Foster, RB, TBA
The Dolphins are expected to consider signing Arian Foster if he shows well in tryouts on Monday. The Dolphins are desperate for a running back, as the favorite for the gig is third-round rookie Kenyan Drake. Foster would be a temporary upgrade until he sustains yet another injury.
Tim Hightower, RB, Saints
Tim Hightower is the favorite to be Mark Ingram’s backup. What about C.J. Spiller? Well, according to Nick Underhill of the New Orleans Advocate, Spiller is actually on the roster bubble. I wouldn’t draft Tim Hightower until extremely late, but he’s worth monitoring on the waiver wire.
C.J. Spiller, RB, Saints
C.J. Spiller is on the roster bubble, according to Nick Underhill of the New Orleans Advocate. This can’t be a shock to anyone. Spiller is undraftable in all leagues.
July 17
Chris Conley, WR, Chiefs
Chris Conley is the favorite to be the No. 2 receiver with Albert Wilson receiving reps in the slot. Conley, a 2015 third-rounder, has a ton of athletic ability. Though Alex Smith’s mediocrity will weigh him down, he still has some potential as a late-round flier.
July 16
Tom Brady, QB, Patriots
Tom Brady has conceded his appeal process and has taken the four-game suspension. While Brady will miss the first quarter of the season, he’s still a bottom-end QB1 in 12-team formats. If you pick him, just make sure you have a viable with an easy early schedule.
Karlos Williams, RB, Bills
Karlos Williams has been suspended for four games. I’ve been joking about Williams eating pickles and ice cream during his wife’s pregnancy, but it appears as though he’s been doing much worse. It’s a shame, as Williams looked very promising heading into his sophomore campaign. Some guys just don’t get it.
July 15
Tyler Lockett, WR, Seahawks
There has been a major buzz about Tyler Lockett’s outlook, according to Bob Condotta of the Seattle Times. Lockett, who was a big producer in the second half of the season, appears to be ready to have a dominant 2016 campaign.
Jonathan Williams, RB, Bills
Rookie Jonathan Williams has been charged with a DUI. What is going on with Buffalo running backs this offseason? From punching people at nightclubs, to driving drunk, to eating pickles and ice cream uncontrollably, they can’t seem to stay out of trouble. Williams had a golden opportunity to lock down the No. 2 running back job with Karlos Williams being super fat, but his chances of doing so have diminished. LeSean McCoy’s stock, by the way, is looking better and better.
July 14
Tom Brady, QB, Patriots
Tom Brady’s appeal was denied by the U.S. Circuit of Appeals. He can now appeal to the Supreme Court, but it seems as though he will finally be suspended for deflating footballs. Brady almost certainly won’t be around for the first four games, but you can sure as hell bet that he’ll be in classic “Tom Brady FU Mode” when he returns to action.
LeSean McCoy, RB, Bills
LeSean McCoy will not be disciplined for the night-club incident from earlier in the offseason. McCoy is lucky to escape justice. I was once down on McCoy earlier in the offseason, but with this event as well as Karlos Williams ballooning 25 pounds, McCoy’s 2016 campaign now looks very promising.
July 13
Brandin Cooks, WR, Saints
Saints beat writer Nick Underhill sets Brandin Cooks floor at 1,200 receiving yards. Cooks is set to have a big year for sure, as the Saints will have to throw a ton because of their poor defense.
Karlos Williams, RB, Bills
Karlos Williams is expected to open training camp on the sidelines. Yet another negative update for Williams, who ate ice cream and pickles during his wife’s pregnancy. I once loved Williams as a sleeper, but that’s not the case anymore, given that he’s 25 pounds overweight.
July 12
Isaiah Crowell, RB, Browns
Isaiah Crowell exposed himself as a scumbag cop-hater by tweeting a picture of a police officer getting his throat slit. Crowell has since apologized, but the Browns have correctly stated that an apology wasn’t enough. It sounds as though Crowell could be suspended, which is an obvious hit to his fantasy stock.
Devonta Freeman, RB, Falcons
The Falcons reportedly wish to decrease Devonta Freeman’s workload and create a competition with Tevin Coleman. Freeman struggled mightily down the stretch last year and appears to be a trap.
Karlos Williams, RB, Bills
Karlos Williams has reported to minicamp 20-25 pounds overweight. This makes me regret listing Williams atop my Fantasy Football Sleepers list. Williams claims he hasn’t been lazy – rather, the weight gain was the result of his wife’s pregnancy – which makes me wonder if he was the one eating ice cream and pickles.
July 11
Tyler Eifert, TE, Bengals
Bengals Director of Personnel Duke Tobin said that Tyler Eifert is likely to miss some games. Adam Schefter has reported as such recently, but this comes straight from the horse’s mouth. Eifert can still be a solid pick if he falls enough in your draft.
Thomas Rawls, RB, Seahawks
Thomas Rawls told the media that his recovery from ankle surgery has been excellent. We’ll have to see for ourselves, as players tend to be overconfident with their health. But at least this isn’t a negative development.
