Colts WR T.Y. Hilton (hamstring) passed his physical and has been activated from the active/NFI list. The hammy issue alone isn't a big deal. But Hilton's health will be worth monitoring over the next month. He's missed 8 games over the past 2 seasons and turns 31 in November.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that RB Lamar Miller has reached a 1-year deal with the Patriots. Miller tore his left ACL last August in a preseason game against Dallas but has said he's back to full health. As long as he passes New England's physical, it looks like the veteran will join Sony Michel, Damien Harris, James White and Rex Burkhead in a crowded backfield. The arrival complicates the outlook for everyone -- though White's role figures to be least affected. As usual, there's still a lot to sort out here: Michel's recovery from foot surgery, Harris' development after a near-silent rookie year, and whether Miller makes the final roster. Just make sure you don't over-invest in any Patriots RB as you draft.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara told reporters on Monday that he "tore his knee" in last year's Week 6 game against the Jaguars. He added that he avoided surgery but did "a lot of rehab this offseason." We knew Kamara hurt his knee in that game (in addition to suffering a high-ankle sprain), but this makes it sound like the injury was more serious than initially thought. Regardless, the takeaway is that Kamara was banged up last season and is a prime bounce-back candidate if he stays healthy in 2020.

Bengals WR A.J. Green is impressing his teammates early in training camp. “You can tell when a guy looks explosive and he looks explosive," WR Alex Erickson said. "The quick twitch. He’s bending, getting in and out of routes. It’s awesome seeing A.J. Green back out there.” Green obviously carries plenty of risk in fantasy drafts: He's 32 and hasn't played a regular-season game since December 2018. But he also finished 16th among WRs in PPR points per game in 2018 and ranked 10th in 2017. A healthy Green has the upside to approach that territory again in 2020. We think he's worth gambling on in the 6th or 7th round of fantasy drafts.

Raiders WR Bryan Edwards has been 1 of the buzziest players in the league through the first 10 days of August. The Athletic's Vic Tafur says the rookie has been "impressing teammates and coaches alike with his playmaking ability." And QB Derek Carr recently compared Edwards to Davante Adams (who Carr played with at Fresno State.) “Bryan is a very violent route runner,” Carr said. “He’s very violent and aggressive in his cuts, in and out of his cuts. … He reminds me of, when the ball is in the air, of Davante (Adams). Great ball skills.” Edwards has a good shot to win a top 3 WR job this season and is worth considering as a late-round flier in your fantasy draft.

Chiefs RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire is "progressing very well given what they have been able to do up to this point," according to ESPN's Louis Riddick. Riddick isn't a usual Shark Bite source, but he's definitely well-connected as a former director of pro personnel for both Washington and Philadelphia. And we'll need to lean on more reports like this in this unusual offseason. Edwards-Helaire has a golden opportunity in front of him after Damien Williams opted out of the 2020 season. If the rookie can prove reliable over the next month, he should open the season as Kansas City's lead back. Edwards-Helaire is worth considering in the back half of the 1st round of fantasy drafts.

The Buccaneers have activated RB Ke'Shawn Vaughn off the COVID-19 list. That comes less than 2 weeks after Vaughn landed on the list and gives him most of August on the field. We'll see how LeSean McCoy fits into a seemingly now-full Bucs backfield picture.

Washington has activated LB Reuben Foster from the PUP list. Foster opened training camp on the PUP following last May's ACL tear but appears on track for Week 1. Foster hasn't played in an NFL game since Week 6 of 2018 but should find an open path to a starting job in a weak Washington LB corps. He's a nice option for IDP upside late in your fantasy football draft.

The Browns activated WR Jarvis Landry (hip) from the active/PUP list. That means he's not eligible to open the season on the reserve/PUP and seemingly puts him on track for Week 1. Landry underwent a significant hip surgery in February that was expected to sideline him for 6-8 months. That had his availability for the start of the season in some doubt, but he's obviously made good progress. We'll continue to keep a close eye on him over the next few weeks. A healthy Landry is a virtual lock to beat his current WR33 ADP.
