Teddy Bridgewater set to return to the NFL with the Buccaneers to back up Baker Mayfield

Teddy Bridgewater set to return to the NFL with the Buccaneers to back up Baker Mayfield

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Teddy Bridgewater is nearing a return to the NFL with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Buccaneers general manager Jason Licht said Bridgewater is visiting the team and the Bucs plan to sign him. The Buccaneers will be the eighth team in 12 seasons for the 32-year-old Bridgewater. Bridgewater coached his former high school in Miami to a Class 3A state championship last fall and then returned to the NFL in late December to serve as a backup to Jared Goff for the playoff-bound Lions. He would provide insurance for the four-time defending NFC South champions behind Baker Mayfield. The Buccaneers also have veteran Kyle Trask, who has thrown 11 passes in four seasons since he was a second-round pick in 2021. Mayfield returned to practice Tuesday after missing a couple of days because of a hand contusion. Bridgewater said last month that he wassuspendedfrom coaching Miami Northwestern High School because he provided players with financial benefits that he says he reported to the school. "I'm not going anywhere," Bridgewater said on social media post. "And if it comes down to it, I will volunteer from the bleachers like I used to in 2018 and 2019 when no one had a problem." Bridgewater, a first-round pick by Minnesota in 2014, is 33-32 as a starter and made the Pro Bowl after his second season when he led the Vikings to an 11-5 record. He also spent time with the Jets, Saints, Panthers, Broncos and Dolphins. Bridgewater has completed 66.4% of his passes for 15,120 yards, 75 touchdowns, 47 interceptions and a 90.5 passer rating. Buccaneers offensive coordinator Josh Grizzard was an assistant coach in Miami in 2022 when Bridgewater backed up Tua Tagovailoa. Buccaneers defensive line coach Charlie Strong was Bridgewater's head coach at Louisville. Tampa Bay's quarterback room also includes Michael Pratt and Connor Bazelak. Pratt, a seventh-round pick out of Tulane by Green Bay in 2024 who signed to the Buccaneers' practice squad last August, has been sidelined by a back injury. Bazelak signed as an undrafted free agent out of Bowling Green where he spent the final two of his six college seasons. ___ AP NFL:https://apnews.com/hub/nfl

'Ketamine Queen' accused of selling Matthew Perry fatal dose gets September trial date

'Ketamine Queen' accused of selling Matthew Perry fatal dose gets September trial date

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A woman charged with sellingMatthew Perrythe dose of ketamine that killed him is headed for a September trial. Jasveen Sangha'strial — the only one forthcoming in thedeath of the "Friends" starafter four other defendants reached plea agreements with prosecutors — is now set to begin Sept. 23 after an order Tuesday from a federal judge in Los Angeles. The 42-year-old Sangha, who prosecutors say was known to her customers as"The Ketamine Queen,"is charged with five counts of ketamine distribution, including one count of distribution resulting in death. She has pleaded not guilty and has been held in federal custody since her arrest last year. Her trial had been scheduled to start Aug. 19, but the judge postponed it for the fourth time since her April 2024 indictment after both sides agreed it should be moved. Sangha's lawyers said they needed the time to go through the huge amount of evidence they have received from the prosecution and to finish their own investigation. Sangha was one of the two biggest targets in the investigation of Perry's death, along withDr. Salvador Plasencia, who pleaded guiltyto ketamine distribution last month. Perry's personal assistant, his friend andanother doctor also entered guilty pleasand are cooperating with prosecutors. All are awaiting sentencing. Perry, who was found dead at age 54 at his home on Oct. 23, 2023, had been gettingketaminefrom his regular doctor for treatment of depression, an increasingly common off-label use for the surgical anesthetic. But prosecutors say when the doctor wouldn't give Perry as much as he wanted, he illegally sought more from Plasencia, then still more from Sangha, who they say presented herself as "a celebrity drug dealer with high quality goods." Perry's assistant and friend said in their plea agreements that they acted as middlemen to buy large amounts of ketamine for Perry from Sangha, including 25 vials for $6,000 in cash a few days before his death. Prosecutors allege that included the doses that killed Perry.

Savannah Chrisley Says Living with Her Parents After Prison Is 'a Lot,' Even Though 'I Would Have Begged for This a Year Ago'

Savannah Chrisley Says Living with Her Parents After Prison Is 'a Lot,' Even Though 'I Would Have Begged for This a Year Ago'

Vivian Zink/NBC/NBCU Photo Bank via Getty Savannah Chrisley said it's been a "challenge" living with her parents after their presidential pardon Todd and Julie Chrisley received a pardon from President Donald Trump in May after starting their 19-year sentence in 2023 Now, Savannah said her dad has thrown out her hard seltzers, and they've had some disagreements over their joint living situation Savannah Chrisley's living situation has changed drastically since her parents were released from prison. The 27-year-old reality star opened up about the aftermath of her parentsToddandJulie Chrisley's presidential pardon in May during the Tuesday, Aug. 5 episode of herUnlocked with Savannah Chrisleypodcast. She noted that after her parents were pardoned byPresident Donald Trump, they all moved in together. My View with Lara Trump/Instagram "It's a challenge, especially to all of us being under one roof," she said before adding, "It's great. I love it. I would have begged for this a year ago, but it's a lot. It's a lot. Imagine living with your parents again after being out of the house for 11 or 12 years. That's a lot." One of the reasons Savannah has struggled with the arrangement is what she describes as a "difference in lifestyles." "I like to go have me a glass of wine or a cocktail. I mean, I am 28... almost 28 years old. Todd Chrisley does not agree with that," she said of her dad. "And so there's some rub there. He came in my house and threw out all my seltzers. Like, threw them out. Who does that? Who does that?" Savannah pointed out that the act was particularly pointless as she can "go and rebuy them." Savannah said the dynamic in her family has changed now that she's an adult. "It's just interesting because now I'm a full-fledged adult," she said. "I have not relied on anyone to pay my bills, support me, guide me. I've done it all on my own. So we've just had a little bit of rub." Despite the drama, Savannah said, "Also it's been the best time ever because we get to sit and talk at whatever time we want. We're joking on each other, laughing, making up for lost time. So for that, I am extremely grateful." DOMINIC GWINN/Middle East Images/AFP via Getty Todd previously opened up about his and Julie's post-prison plans to move. "You know, I think we will always have a presence in Nashville, but I have a pull for Julie and I to go back to South Carolina — to Charleston — to that area. And we have plans for what we wanna do,"Todd said in an interviewfor an ABC News Studios special, which aired in June. He added at the time, "We have hopes of acquiring a hotel — a mansion — there, that we are gonna convert into a hotel, and we're gonna create a show around that." https://people-app.onelink.me/HNIa/kz7l4cuf As for Savannah, during the same interview she shared her plans to move out of her parents'$1.6 million mansionand into a condo. She said that Todd was critical of how she maintained their home while they were in prison. "He comes in and is critiquing everything in the house," she said, laughing. "I was literally fighting for y'all for two and a half years and raising kids, I think the floors are fine." Todd and Julie were sentenced to a total of 19 years in prison for tax fraud. They began serving their separate sentences in 2023. The family is now documenting the experience in the upcoming reality show,The Chrisleys: Back to Reality, which premieres as a two-night event Sept. 1 and Sept. 2 at 8 p.m. ET on Lifetime, with a finale dropping on Sept. 16.

Bear Charges at NHL Seattle Kraken Mascot Filming in Alaska Wilderness — See the Frightening Footage

Bear Charges at NHL Seattle Kraken Mascot Filming in Alaska Wilderness — See the Frightening Footage

SEAbuoy/X The Seattle Kraken's mascot, Buoy the sea troll, recently had a close call while fly fishing with the team at Alaska's Katmai National Park In a video captured and shared by the team's social media, a grizzly bear could be seen briefly charging at the mascot in a stream Kraken center John Hayden said in the video that the bear likely went after the mascot as it was "pretty interested in his whole look" The Seattle Kraken's mascot got into a hairy situation with a real bear. In avideoshared on social media, the hockey team shared the close call between a wild grizzly bear and the team's mascot, Buoy the sea troll, while the team was out fly fishing in Alaska's Katmai National Park, according toUPI. Kraken center John Hayden talked through the close encounter in the video, saying, "While we were fishing, we had a pretty close call with a couple [of] bears." The footage then cut to a shot of Hayden fishing in a stream as the camera panned to the tree cover behind him and showed a brown grizzly bear making its way out of the woods and into the stream. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Buoy (@nhlbuoy) "We got a bear," he told the camera, as another crew member said, "Oh, I got to break you off now. Hey Sam, we got a bear, we've got to move down." https://people-app.onelink.me/HNIa/kz7l4cuf Hayden could be seen handing over his fly fishing pole to a crew member as the pair and filming crew began making their way downstream. However, it appeared that the bear wanted to follow them, as he could be seen dipping into the stream and heading in their direction. SEAbuoy/X At one point, the bear could be seen spotting Buoy the sea troll, who was also fly fishing with the team. The animal let out a roar and then could be seen charging toward the mascot as he hurried to move away. Luckily, the grizzly bear stopped a few feet away from Buoy in the water. Another angle shot of the bear charging at the Kraken players and filming crew near the end of the video showed just how close the bear got to the team before they got away. Hayden said in the video that they "got out of it okay," but it was quite a "close call." He also noted that the bear likely went after the mascot as it was "pretty interested in his whole look." "That last little sprint, I was worried for you Buoy," a crew member told the mascot, who could be seen shaking his head before the video ended. "TROLL NARROWLY ESCAPES BEAR ENCOUNTER," the team captioned the video. They added, "*no trolls or bears were hurt in the making, always respect wildlife in their natural habitat." SEAbuoy/X In response to the video on X, one person noted that they had a similar close call with a "bull moose" while hiking on the side of a mountain. The person noted that despite getting "chased" by the animal they did not get "hurt."

Another person joked that the bear may have thought Buoy was a friend, writing, "If not friend, why friend shaped?" The team had been traveling across Alaska for their annual community engagement partnership trip with the Bristol Bay Native Corporation, according to UPI. The trip also included a "Kraken Week" where the team got to work with the Anchorage Hockey Academy's youth hockey camp, per the outlet. Read the original article onPeople

Chris Paul Returns to the Clippers for His Likely Final NBA Season

Chris Paul Returns to the Clippers for His Likely Final NBA Season

If you've been following the NBA long enough, you know Chris Paul's career has been filled with incredible highs, gut-wrenching near-misses, and a string of unforgettable moments. But now, in what could be his last season, he's returning to a team that made him a household name: the Los Angeles Clippers. This reunion doubles as a farewell tour, and it's shaping up to be one of the most talked-about stories in the NBA this season. Let's break down what the talks are all about. Image via Wikipedia/nikk_la Paul's first stint with the Clippers (2011-2017) was one of the most memorable periods in franchise history. He became known as the leader of the "Lob City" era, and guided a team stacked with talent, including Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan, to six consecutive playoff appearances. During those years, Paul was the team's heartbeat. His 4,023 assists still stand as the most in franchise history, and his five All-Star selections with the Clippers marked his place as one of the league's top point guards. Now, with a one-year, $3.6 million deal, he is ready to step back into the Clippers' locker room and bring with him not only experience but also a desire to finish his career on a high note. Clippers president Lawrence Frank called Paul "one of the most impactful players ever to wear their uniform," and it's not an exaggeration. Paul changed the entire trajectory of the franchise, and his return adds a fresh layer of excitement to a team already boasting star power. Speaking of star power, the Clippers aren't just reuniting with Paul for nostalgia's sake. This is a team that's still pushing hard for a championship. With stars like Kawhi Leonard, Paul George, and James Harden, the Clippers have one of the deepest rosters in the league. Adding Paul to the mix only strengthens the backcourt, where he'll provide exceptional ball handling, playmaking, and veteran leadership. Despite his age, he still has plenty left in the tank. Last season, while playing for the Spurs, he proved that he can still play at a high level by appearing in all 82 games for the first time in his career. While his numbers (8.8 points and 7.4 assists per game) might not carry the weight they once did, Paul's basketball IQ remains unmatched. As he joins a veteran-heavy roster, his role will be a bit different this time around. He'll come off the bench as a reserve point guard. But don't mistake that for a lesser role. His leadership, especially in high-pressure moments, will be invaluable. Image via Unsplash/Quinten de Graaf While it's clear that Paul's impact on the court will remain significant, the real story is what this final season means for the Clippers. With the team's championship window still open, Paul is stepping into a critical moment. The Clippers need all the depth they can get, especially in a brutal Western Conference. With Paul now added to the roster, the hope is that his experience and composure will help guide the team through the ups and downs of a long season and, ultimately, into the playoffs. But there's an undeniable element of emotion here too. This is Paul's farewell tour, and while no official announcement has been made about his retirement, the feeling around the league is that 2025-2026 will be his final season. Fans and teammates alike are well aware that every game with Paul in a Clippers uniform is a reminder of how much he's meant to the NBA and to the team. The prospect of him playing alongside the likes of Leonard and Harden only adds to the excitement. Paul's career is already Hall-of-Fame material. As a 12-time All-Star, four-time All-NBA First Team member, and a six-time leader in steals, Paul's list of accolades is long. Yet, despite his individual success, one thing has eluded him: an NBA championship. His time with the Clippers, Rockets, and Suns has been filled with near-misses. But that's what makes this season so compelling. Paul is, in a sense, getting one last shot. He'll have a role on a team with real title aspirations. And while his personal legacy is secure, there's no denying that every basketball fan is hoping he gets that elusive championship before hanging up his sneakers for good. Image via FreePik/bublikhaus As Paul returns to the Clippers, the basketball world will be watching closely. Will this be the season that finally brings the ultimate glory to the Clippers franchise? Will he, in his 21st season, get one last shot at glory? Fans are eager to find out.

Prince Andrew scores victory over King Charles in Royal Lodge battle: report

Prince Andrew scores victory over King Charles in Royal Lodge battle: report

Prince Andrew achieved a quiet victory. King Charles III has given up on trying to evict the disgraced Duke of York from his palatial Royal Lodge home, theU.K.'s Expressreported. According to the outlet, the monarch's younger sibling "has won the row" and will be staying put despite efforts to relocate him to a smaller property. Buckingham Palace previously told Fox News Digital that they don't answer for Andrew, 65, as he's no longer a working royal. King Charles Faces Mass Exodus Of Gardening Staff At Highgrove House Estate: Report British royals expert Hilary Fordwichtold Fox News Digital she's not entirely convinced that Andrew is out of the woods. "This is a limited pyrrhic win, as he's certainly not reclaiming any stature either in public or within his own family," she explained. "His remaining in Royal Lodge is merely due to his legal rights derived from the original binding 75-year lease agreement from 2003 with the Crown Estate rather than anything favorable to Andrew's redemption." Read On The Fox News App Fordwich pointed out that Royal Lodge requires "immense annual upkeep" that reportedly costs several million dollars a year. Andrew stepped back as a senior royal following his controversial friendship with late American financier andconvicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Working or not, Andrew will need to find a way to foot the bill. "Public scrutiny of royal spending is intense," said Fordwich. "It will further destroy his relationship with both his family and the public as he is an entitled embarrassment to both." "In 2028, this issue may well be revisited," Fordwich warned. "The Crown Estate will then have new grounds to review or revoke the lease due to property maintenance disputes. In the interim, he must fund the estate's costly repairs, all of its upkeep and his security." TheU.K.'s Daily Mailpreviously reported that Andrew had been tending to the gardens of Royal Lodge to pinch pennies. The 30-room mansion is reportedly surrounded by shrubbery and woodland. Other reports claimed that the king, 76, ordered precious artifacts to be removed from Andrew's home, due to maintenance and security concerns. Click Here To Sign Up For The Entertainment Newsletter Us Weeklyalso reported that the sprawling 19th-century property is faced with dampness issues, as well as "wear and tear" that is ravaging the building. It noted that "cracks are becoming worse on the brickwork," and there is peeling paint, along with plaster falling off. These days, the Express reported that Andrew has been "all smiles" knowing that he could officially stay. "It is undoubtedly the case that King Charles would have wished him to downsize," royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams told Fox News Digital. "But, he has a 75-year lease and, so long as he fulfilled its provisions, he could not be evicted." Royal expert Ian Pelham Turner told Fox News Digital that Andrew will still need to prove that he can find a way to manage the costly repairs that Royal Lodge requires. "Andrew has to ensure that the Royal Lodge is being preserved from a current state of near collapse," Turner claimed, adding that this "will be looked at very closely." Andrew has lived at Royal Lodge since 2004. He currently resides there with his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson. Like What You're Reading? Click Here For More Entertainment News According to reports, he has spent over $9 million on repairs and renovations over the years and $1 million to take it over. His annual rent is a reported $337,000. But despite Charles's concerns, reports claimed that Andrew presented his brother with a lease document which confirmed that he was legally entitled to stay at Royal Lodge. The Sunday Timesreported that the king did not renew the contract for Andrew's private security team. The monarch had been paying for Andrew's security after the prince lost his police protection in 2022. The security team is said to cost the king nearly $4 million annually. At the time, a spokesperson for Buckingham Palace told Fox News Digital that the palace would not comment on "security matters." WhileAndrew will remain at Royal Lodge, Fordwich stressed that this doesn't mean he'll return to public life. "The only time he's been seen at any family functions publicly was earlier this year in Windsor at Easter Sunday services and the Garter Day lunch," she said. "He was conspicuously absent this year from [everything else]." "Regarding his finances, his family continues to be concerned as to where, in desperation for new income sources, he is securing funding," Fordwich claimed. "In the past, his ill-judged business associations haven't exactly been proper, reflecting poorly upon the monarchy." Charles and Andrew were said to be feuding over Royal Lodge, which is located on the grounds of Windsor Castle, since 2019. While Charles urged Andrew to downsize and move to the smaller Frogmore Cottage, Prince Harryand Meghan Markle's former U.K. home, the prince successfully dug his heels in. Charlotte Griffiths, the Mail on Sunday's editor-at-large,reported in Novemberthat the monarch was unexpectedly extending a generous olive branch to his brother and paying his rent. It's believed that's what their late mother, Queen Elizabeth II, would have wanted. For years, it has been said that Andrew was her favorite son. The king was diagnosed with an undisclosed form of cancer in February of last year. Ingrid Seward, editor-in-chief of Majesty magazine andauthor of "My Mother and I,"agreed with Griffiths' scoop. WATCH: KING CHARLES SECRETLY PAYING PRINCE ANDREW'S RENT, AUTHOR CLAIMS "There's absolutely no doubt that Charles is the one who is providing the money for Andrew, becausethe [late] queenwouldn't have left Andrew bereft," Seward previously explained to Fox News Digital. "She would've made a provision for him, and maybe that provision came through his elder brother as monarch," she shared. "When the king dies or the queen dies, the money goes to the next monarch. Everything goes to the next monarch. So, she either would have made provisions for Andrew before she died, or she would've made provisions through Charles." "I believe that Charles is helping him," Seward continued. "I don't see who else would. I'm sure [Andrew's ex-wife] Fergie would help him. I know Fergie does very well with her books, but I [can't] imagine she would make enough to run Royal Lodge on her own." "I certainly think that the only person who could really be doing this is either monies from the queen or monies from the king," she said. Griffiths also claimed that someone at a "glamorous – and usually ultra-discreet – dinner table" told her that "Charles has paid for it all." "The king has cleared it. It's all done," the source claimed. Prince William Draws Hard Line On Uncle Prince Andrew's Royal Future: Experts The palace insider, "who's been a guest at Royal Lodge in years gone by," claimed that not only did Charles handle the finances, but none of the funds came from taxpayer money. The Sunday Times previously reported that Andrew had raised enough money to stay in Royal Lodge. According to the outlet, the prince's funds were approved bythe Keeper of the Privy Purseas coming from "legitimate sources." Andrew's only known steady income source is a Royal Navy pension. "The Duke of York, or Prince Andrew as we like to call him, always lived in a palace," said Seward. "He lived in Buckingham Palace,and then his home was Royal Lodge, which is a very grand home – and he doesn't want to leave it." "I think King Charles... said to him, 'Andrew, it would be so much better if you moved out of Royal Lodge and moved into Frogmore Cottage... because it's been modernized inside. It's been beautifully done up. It's easy to run. It's not expensive to run. And you're within the security of the Windsor Castle compound, so it's not going to cost millions in security.' But Andrew said, 'No, I want to stay here.'" Seward stressed that rigorous upkeep – and plenty of funds – are required to keep the royal property in tip-top shape. "It's not just a little house in the middle of nowhere," said Seward. "It is huge and therefore needs a lot of upkeep. But I think that there's no way he and Charles would've had a row about it, because Charles isn't like that." Prince William Plans To Banish Uncle Andrew From Royal Life When He Becomes King: Expert "He wouldn't have said, 'You've got to get out,'" Seward insisted. "He would've suggested why it would be easier to get out. And Andrew said, 'No, I want to stay.' So, Charles said, 'Fine, but I'm going to have to remove this very expensive security, and we'll need to find an alternative.'" "The Crown Estate would've loved to get Andrew out of Royal Lodge, because they could rent the whole thing," said Seward. "It needs to be seen as making money. And as long as Andrew lives in Royal Lodge, that's preventing them from making as much as they could. It's just too bad that he is the late queen's second son." "[But] I don't think the future holds anything for Prince Andrew," Seward added. Original article source:Prince Andrew scores victory over King Charles in Royal Lodge battle: report

Fantasy Football: Geno Smith headlines sleeper candidates at the QB position for 2025

Fantasy Football: Geno Smith headlines sleeper candidates at the QB position for 2025

Fantasy football managers are smarter than ever, so finding a player who's actually being slept on can be difficult. With that in mind, we're shifting our focus to late-round targets who could drastically outproduce their ADP in 2025. Over the next week, I'll shine the spotlight on my favorite sleeper candidates at every key fantasy position — starting with quarterbacks. [Join or create a Yahoo Fantasy Football league for the 2025 NFL season] Quarterbacks Running Backs (Aug. 6) Wide Receivers (Aug. 7) Tight Ends (Aug. 8) Smith is an underrated NFL quarterback and, unfortunately, that perception bleeds over into the fantasy world. It's true that his fantasy stats have taken a step back since his breakout campaign with the Seahawks in 2022, when he finished with the fifth-most points at his position and was a top-10 QB in fantasy points per game (18.5). That year, he was eighth in passing yards, fourth in passing touchdowns and first in completion percentage. There's no denying his 2023 season was more of a struggle, but injuries to Seattle's offensive line — including both starting tackles going down in the opener — increased the degree of difficulty. He stumbled to a QB25 result (15.7 fppg). In 2024, Smith's numbers bounced back and he ended the year among the top five in passing yards and completion percentage. He even graded out asPro Football Focus' eighth-best passer. Fantasy-wise, that made him the QB17 on a per game basis (16.5 fppg). But the 34-year-old posted eight top-12 weekly performances, including six in the first half of the season before Tyler Lockett's performance declined. The Raiders liked what they saw and traded for Smith, believing he could be their solution under center. Now, he's reunited with his coach during that career year: Pete Carroll. They're joined by Chip Kelly, who is bringing his uptempo attack to Vegas, which should keep Smith's arm busy. You could also argue the supporting cast in the desert rivals the talent Smith had in the Pacific Northwest. Brock Bowers, Ashton Jeanty and Jakobi Meyers form the core, which will combine with a group of intriguing young wideouts vying for the No. 2 receiver job. Remember when Jared Goff only had to play outdoors three times last year and it helped him deliver QB8 fantasy production? Well, Smith gets that cheat code this year, with 12 indoor games and just four outside. In addition, he gets the eighth-easiest slate in myfantasy strength of schedule matrix. So, while he might be coming off two down years, it's hard to justify Smith going off the board after the top-20 quarterbacks in ADP. He's already proved he can be a low-end fantasy QB1 and, at worst, his situation in Vegas is setting him up to push for a high-end QB2 output. Things weren't looking good for Richardson following an injury-plagued and inconsistent season, low-lighted by himtaking himself out of a gameto catch his breath. It seemed to get even worse, when he missed time in OTAs with a shoulder issue. Thankfully, he was a full go for training camp and has earned agood amount of praisefrom those around the team for his recent performances in practice. As we know, Richardson just needs to get on the field in order to instantly be considered a fantasy starter. The 23-year-old has only played the majority of the Colts' snaps 12 times over the last two seasons, but has eclipsed 20 fantasy points in 50% of those outings. The main reason for that is his rushing production. Even in an up-and-down campaign, Richardson still averaged over 45 rushing yards per contest — which was third-best in 2024, behind only Lamar Jackson and Jayden Daniels. Indy has also assembled a great collection of talent at the skill positions, including Jonathan Taylor, Josh Downs, Michael Pittman Jr., Alec Pierce, Adonai Mitchell and first-round rookie tight end Tyler Warren, who apparently has been flashing a real connection with Richardson so far. Despite being locked in a camp battle with Daniel Jones, Richardson is still someone worth taking a chance on as an extreme upside swing in the later rounds. Penix is a bit of a forgotten man, overshadowed by the massive fantasy potential of the other five quarterbacks taken in Round 1 of the 2024 NFL Draft. After being forced to wait his turn behind veteran Kirk Cousins last season, Penix finally slid into the starting lineup in Week 16 and showed improvement in each subsequent appearance. He was the QB24 in fppg during that stretch, mostly on the back of a strong Week 18 performance when he threw for 312 yards and two scores while adding another touchdown on the ground. Rushing production will be limited from a pocket passer like Penix, but he finds himself in the kind of offensive environment where he could thrive. Bijan Robinson is arguably the best all-around running back in the league, Drake London announced his presence as a true No. 1 receiver last year, Darnell Mooney (when healthy) is an above-average second option and tight end Kyle Pitts has clearly formed a bond with Penix, who told reporters KP will begetting targeted oftenthis year. Penix will also benefit from a top-10 offensive line, a solid play-caller in Zac Robinson and the 10th-friendliest fantasy schedule among quarterbacks. Though Penix might not have the same fantasy ceiling as some other young QBs due to his lack of rushing stats, he can still far outproduce his current ADP of QB25. I would normally never put a first-round pick in a sleeper column, but has there ever been a quarterback taken first overall who received less hype than Ward entering their rookie season? Fantasy managers don't seem intrigued at all by the 23-year-old, and no one's making the case that he could surprise and be fantasy relevant in Year 1. While that's still a long shot, let me remind everyone what Titans head coach Brian Callahan did when Joe Burrow went down for the last seven weeks of the 2023 season. Over that span, Callahan helped backup Jake Browning turn into a top-seven fantasy QB — though, it helps when you're throwing to the Bengals' dynamic duo of Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins. To their credit, the Titans have made positive strides to improve their pass-catching corps — bringing in rookies Elic Ayomanor, Chimere Dike, Xavier Restrepo and maybe they can get something early in the season out of fading veteran Tyler Lockett. That new group will join star Calvin Ridley and promising tight end Chig Okonkwo. Tennessee also has two backs who are very capable in the passing game in Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears. The Titans have even gone to great lengths to upgrade their offensive line, investing multiple first-round picks and many free-agent dollars in their blocking over the last couple of offseasons. Whether that's enough for Ward to find success as a rookie remains to be seen. He does have the confidence and arm talent required to be a franchise quarterback. And while he's not the biggest threat as a runner, his pocket awareness allows him to buy time to make plays. For fantasy, that might max him out as a mid-range QB2. However, that would make him a value where he's going now as the QB23. Quarterbacks Running Backs (Aug. 6) Wide Receivers (Aug. 7) Tight Ends (Aug. 8)
