Fantasy Impact: Adam Schefter pointed out the recent shift in the market value for quarterbacks this offseason following the extensions signed by Jared Goff and Trevor Lawrence. He would currently be playing this season on his fifth-year option that was picked up by Miami last year. The two sides will likely look to reach a deal at some point during training camp.

Fantasy Impact: Bears special teams coordinator Richard Hightower referred to Odunze as a four-down player. “Rome is an every-down player. Rome’s a first-down player, a second-down player, a third-down player and a fourth-down player,” Hightower said. “He had three returns on the books and one of those three returns was a house call.” It is possible we see a lot of different players return kicks this season with the new rules.

Fantasy Impact: Rams wide receivers coach Eric Yarber said “He looks just like Cooper (Kupp). He’s lost so much body fat and gained so muscle, which enabled him to move more efficiently now.” Nacua reportedly lost 10 pounds this offseason. The two Rams receivers have the chance to once again form one of the top wide receiver duos in the NFL this season.

Fantasy Impact: McCloud was expected to primarily hold a role in special teams, but he also saw first-team reps in camp. He is unlikely to hold much fantasy value unless Drake London or Darnell Mooney miss time, but could be a player to monitor on waivers throughout the season.

Ian Thomas has reportedly “stolen the spotlight” at tight end during Panthers’ OTAs and minicamp. (Source: ESPN.com)

Fantasy Impact: Thomas has seemingly taken on a big role at camp despite Carolina drafting Ja’Tavion Sanders in the fourth-round in April. Thomas is unlikely to hold much fantasy value, but it is possible he limits the upside that Sanders possesses from a fantasy perspective. It'll be a battle to monitor throughout training camp.

Trey Sermon is reportedly “the likeliest option” to win the Colts’ backup running back job. (Source: ESPN.com)

Braelon Allen reportedly displayed "plenty of ability” as a pass-catcher during Jets OTAs and minicamp. (Source: ESPN.com)

Fantasy Impact: Allen did not command a huge role as a pass catcher in college, but it appears he could take on a third down role in the Jets backfield behind Breece Hall. He'll be a late-round flier in fantasy drafts and a handcuff behind Hall.

Jeremy Fowler reports Aidan O’Connell “probably has the slight edge” over Gardner Minshew for the Raiders starting quarterback job. (Source: ESPN.com)

Fantasy Impact: Minshew signed a two-year deal with the Raiders this offseason so he was expected to be the starter, but O'Connell appears to have gotten off to a good start in camp. It'll likely be a battle to monitor all throughout training camp and preseason action.

Rams coach Sean McVay said Tre’Davious White is “making good progress” in his recovery. (Source: TheRams.com)

Fantasy Impact: White signed with the Rams this offseason as he works his way back from a torn Achilles that he suffered in Week 4 last season. It isn't clear when he'll be fully cleared, but he does appear to be headed in the right direction.

Jaguars RB Tank Bigsby reportedly “didn’t have the standout offseason program that he had last year.” (Source: Sports Illustrated)

Fantasy Impact: Bigsby had been talked up earlier in camp as a player who could take on a bigger role this season, but it doesn't appear that he did himself any favors early in camp. He'll still have training camp and preseason to prove himself more. Travis Etienne is likely to remain in his workhorse role in the Jaguars backfield.

The Seahawks signed RB Ricky Person Jr. (Source: Aaron Wilson on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: The former RB for the UFL’s Birmingham Stallions reportedly chose Seattle over multiple other offers. He ran for 297 yards on 93 carries with six touchdowns this past season in the UFL. He'll look to earn a roster spot in the Seahawks running back room behind Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet.

Fantasy Impact: Pearsall signed a four-year, $12.5 million contract with San Francisco. The rookie wide receiver was a bit of a surprise back in April as a first-round pick. His immediate fantasy value will likely be largely dependent on whether or not the 49ers trade Brandon Aiyuk or Deebo Samuel.

The Falcons and Michael Penix Jr. have agreed to terms on his rookie contract. (Source: Jordan Schultz on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Penix gets a four-year deal worth $22.88M. His signing bonus is $13.46M. He'll open the season backing up Kirk Cousins, assuming the veteran is healthy as he comes off a torn Achilles.
