Beat: Albert O possible Tim Patrick replacementBroncos head Coach Nathaniel Hackett says they're putting Albert Okwuegbunam "all over the place" in the offense.
Advice: With the recent news of Tim Patrick's season ending on a torn ACL, the Broncos are looking to replace that production. Coach Hackett says they've been using Albert O "from motioning, playing wide, playing ‘F’ and doing all kinds of different things.” “That’s definitely been something we’ve wanted to work on,” Hackett added. Many have Okwuegbunam as a sleeper tight end option, and these comments by Hackett suggest Okwuegbunam is separating himself from rookie Greg Dulcich. He looks like a value in the 13th round of Yahoo drafts. NBCSportsEDGE.comAlbert Okwuegbunam Den - TEWeek 1 Projected Rank

Darius Anderson suffers season-ending knee injuryTexans RB Darius Anderson suffered a season-ending knee injury on Tuesday.
Advice: Pro Football Network's Aaron Wilson reports Anderson suffered "a dislocation and other damage that required immediate surgery." That description sounds about as bad as a knee injury can be. An undrafted free agent in 2020, Anderson has bounced around practice squads but has never made an NFL appearance. NBCSportsEDGE.comDarius Anderson Hou - RBWeek 1 Projected Rank

Carroll: Geno Smith will start 1st preseason gameSeahawks coach Pete Carroll said Geno Smith will start the first preseason game.
Advice: Drew Lock has seemingly made up some ground in the quarterback competition over the last week, but Smith continues to get the vast majority of the work with the first team. At this point, it looks like this job is Smith's to lose. NBCSportsEDGE.comGeno Smith Sea - QBWeek 1 Projected Rank

Kingsbury 'really impressed with Eno BenjaminCardinals coach Kliff Kingsbury said he is "really impressed" with Eno Benjamin.
Advice: "Each year he has just gotten progressively better," Kingsbury said. "He's one of the hardest workers on the team now. Always upbeat, always into it. Just really come a long way." Despite the signing of Darrel Williams and drafting Keaontay Ingram, Benjamin's work ethic and knowledge of the offense give him a realistic chance of being James Conner's sidekick in the backfield. Chase Edmonds left behind 159 touches in 2021. Should Benjamin earn the RB2 role on the Cardinals' offense, it will immediately raise his fantasy value.

Goodell: Watson's behavior egregious and predatoryRoger Goodell said the league is seeking tougher punishment for Deshaun Watson because his "multiple violations" were "egregious" and "predatory behavior."
Advice: Watson was given a six-game suspension by Judge Sue Robinson last week. The league quickly appealed and is reportedly looking for an indefinite suspension. "We've seen the evidence, she was very clear about the evidence, she reinforced the evidence,'' Goodell said of Robinson's ruling. Former New Jersey attorney general Peter C. Harvey will hear the NFL's appeal. NBCSportsEDGE.comDeshaun Watson Cle - QBSUSPWeek 1 Projected Rank
