New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs (knee) has reportedly looked impressive early in training camp. The assumption was that Diggs would be eased into activities after suffering a torn ACL in Week 8 of last season. Despite that, Diggs has looked good with quick and efficient movements and an ability to make plays on his surgically-repaired knee. The expectation was that Diggs would be limited to begin the season, but maybe he'll be ready to go by Week 1. Fantasy managers will have to stay tuned for more updates on his status as camp goes on.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Bucky Irving was one of the biggest surprises from the 2024 draft class. He wrestled the lead-back role away from Rachaad White mid-season and rushed for 1,122 yards and eight touchdowns. Irving, who weighs under 200 pounds, told CBS Sports' Pete Prisco that he feels he can handle a large workload, but Prisco tweeted that he thinks the Bucs might try to limit him a bit to keep him fresh because of his small stature. While fantasy gamers would prefer for Irving to see all the work out of Tampa Bay's backfield, it is clear that the team still wants to give touches to White and Sean Tucker. That being said, Irving is still the lead back and showed last season he can be a dominant force at the running-back position. The team keeping him fresh is a positive in the long run and shouldn't deter fantasy managers from grabbing him as a low-end RB1 in upcoming drafts.
