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.

The Matthew Stafford Contract Extension
Contract extensions don’t usually mean much to fantasy football re-drafters but they do when Matthew Stafford is your franchise quarterback in a dynasty league. Stafford just signed a contract extension through 2017. While this news is great for Stafford’s dynasty value it’s especially great for Calvin Johnson’s, who’s signed through 2019. To have stability in the quarterback position is extremely important and should keep CJ at the top of dynasty big boards. Hopefully Stafford can keep getting 200 targets to Johnson for many years to come. Needless to say it also has positive value for other Lions like Ryan Broyles, who has the potential to be a very good #2 WR in the Lions offense for many years to come. Now would especially be a good time to buy low since he’s recovering from ACL surgery. It also solidifies Brandon Pettigrew as a top-15 tight end option for at least 2-3 years and makes Reggie Bush a solid top-20 option at running back for at least this year.
