NFL Stars End Holdouts, Sign Extensions, Impact Training Camps

The NFL preseason is underway with the Hall of Fame Game in Canton, Ohio, presenting a unique challenge for fantasy football players as starters and backups see limited action, impacting DFS strategies. Significant team news includes the Las Vegas Raiders securing a three-year, $66 million contract extension for left tackle Kolton Miller, and All-Pro defensive end Trey Hendrickson ending his holdout to rejoin the Cincinnati Bengals. Cleveland Browns owner Jimmy Haslam has sparked speculation around quarterback Arch Manning, projecting him as a top draft pick in 2026, though Manning himself has expressed discomfort with the hype surrounding his college career at Texas. In quarterback rumors, Kirk Cousins faces uncertainty due to his age and contract size, with Jameis Winston emerging as a cheaper, capable alternative amid trade talks involving several players. Additionally, Browns running back Jerome Ford's situation remains uncertain due to legal issues, leading to a shared backfield role with Dylan Sampson, while Broncos rookie RJ Harvey is showing promise in training camp as part of a potential running back committee. These developments are shaping team strategies and fantasy football outlooks ahead of the NFL regular season.
