Daily Dynasty Update – August 11th

Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski continues to make progress in camp. If he’s healthy, he’s the second best tight end in dynasty. But his health is one of the biggest questions in fantasy football.
In a major development, running back Jonathan Grimes appears to be the top backup to Arian Foster in Houston. It’s one of the most coveted backup spots in football as Foster can’t seem to stay healthy.
In a bit of a surprise, it looks like Saints running back Pierre Thomas might be relegated to third-string. However, he remains the top receiving option so his value goes unchanged in PPR leagues.
Titans linebacker Colin McCarthy has a shoulder injury that might keep him out awhile. McCarthy is a solid IDP option when healthy but those days are few and far between.
