Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta had high praise for first-year offensive coordinator John Morton with the team set to open training camp this weekend. There have been some concerns that the Detroit offense will take a step back now that star play-caller Ben Johnson is the head coach in Chicago, but LaPorta does not share those worries. LaPorta told Jim Rome on Wednesday that Morton is a "brilliant mind" and went on to say, "I think he's gonna call the offense great." It remains to be seen whether Morton changes player roles, usage, and formations in his first year calling the plays, but the Detroit offense is loaded with talented players. Detroit should continue to be a fantasy goldmine for the 2025 season.

New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers (shoulder) is expected to practice on Thursday. However, the former LSU standout could potentially be limited at times during the session. Head coach Brian Daboll said, "We'll put him out there and he'll do what he can do," and that the team "has a plan." Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status in case he faces a setback later in training camp. Nabers left Tuesday's practice session early due to this shoulder injury. However, seeing him cleared to return in any capacity is a very positive sign. During his rookie season, the former sixth overall pick immediately flashed immense upside at the NFL level, tallying 1,204 yards and seven scores. He should be viewed as a high-end WR1 in all formats, entering the 2025 season.
