Training camp usually brings a lot of hype, but some updates really do matter for fantasy football. Players are changing roles, coaches are trying new game plans, and some younger guys could surprise us early in the season. These are the key storylines that could actually change a player's fantasy value before Week 1.

Initial camp work focused more on reducing penalties and sharpening techniques than on overhauling tempo. Trevor Lawrence has looked comfortable during install periods, and the offense is executing quicker concepts.

He's taken most of the first-team reps in camp and shown steady improvement during team drills. Coaches say he's handled installs well and is getting more comfortable with timing and footwork. Credit: Instagram As of now, the Chargers are giving Omarion Hampton a long look with the starters, and he's apparently ready for it. He's shown power on inside runs and hasn't missed in pass protection drills. That chance opened when Najee Harris injured his eye during a fireworks accident just before practice sessions.

After Ben Johnson's arrival, the team overhauled the offensive line, drafted a route technician in Rome Odunze, and added rookie tight end Colston Loveland.

He's featured in intermediate and vertical routes, which include a well-reported 60-yard touchdown from Tua Tagovailoa in early-phase drills. Although underlying tension remains, coaches continue to run plays that center Hill in the red zone and deep game.

This season, the Patriots brought in Stefon Diggs and drafted Kyle Williams, a red zone threat with a strong college profile. Kayshon Boutte has also stayed involved.

Joe Flacco's veteran presence helps stabilize things, but Cleveland also wants to see what Shedeur Sanders and Dillon Gabriel can do. Kenny Pickett, reportedly the least active during team drills, may already be fading in the competition. Credit: Instagram This is the first camp where Jameson Williams comes off like a full-time receiver, not just a speed threat. Coaches have given him additional complex routes that demand timing and coverage reads, and so far, he's handled them well. Jared Goff has looked for him over the middle more often than in past drills. Credit: Instagram Though Dylan Sampson wasn't expected to push for early carries, injuries have quickly changed the outlook in Cleveland. With Jerome Ford limited and Quinshon Judkins unavailable, Sampson has moved up the depth chart and taken on extended work in camp. He's impressed coaches with his quickness and balance in space. Credit: Instagram After three frustrating seasons, Kyle Pitts is finally practicing without limitation. He's taken various snaps from the slot and is being targeted on designed routes, not just late reads. Michael Penix Jr. has thrown his way during both scripted installs and live reps. Signs suggest he may return to a volume-based tight end role this season. Credit: Instagram Quick decision-making and touch on intermediate throws have stood out in the Falcons camp. The rookie has kept drives moving in two-minute drills and found tight ends on seams and crossers with consistency. Michael Penix Jr., who got a few late-season starts in 2024, already displayed what the offense can be with him at the helm. Credit: Instagram The backfield remains unsettled in New England as training camp progresses. Rookie TreVeyon Henderson impressed everyone in early passing reps, while Rhamondre Stevenson handled more early-down work. Antonio Gibson also drew praise as a multi-role weapon. Meanwhile, the press stresses that it's too early to read a clear pecking order—a rotating committee appears likely. Credit: Instagram We haven't seen much of Ricky Pearsall in the 49ers camp, which doesn't help his chances in a crowded offense. He's been sidelined with a lower-body injury and has missed both team drills and individual work. Jauan Jennings has taken over in the slot, and that's a position Pearsall needed to compete for. Credit: Instagram While Kenneth Walker still brings big-play ability, his role hasn't expanded. He's alternating series with Zach Charbonnet, who continues to handle a higher volume of third-down and pass-blocking duties. That mirrors what Seattle did last season, and Pete Carroll hasn't hinted at changing it. Neither back has been separated in goal-line work either. Credit: Instagram There is no denying that David Njoku has become a consistent presence in the Red Zone in Browns camp. He's caught multiple touchdowns during team drills and appears more in sync with Deshaun Watson than in previous years. With coverage drifting toward Elijah Moore and rookie Ja'Lynn Polk on the outside, Njoku has taken advantage of space underneath.
