Fantasy football analyst Sal Vetri compiles all the NFL camp news YOU need to know as August kicks off.
No. 12: Cooper Kupp is finally healthy
Kupp played through both an ankle and hamstring injury all last season. Despite this, in his nine completed games, he still averaged top-20 fantasy production and the same number of targets as Puka Nacua.
Kupp appears to be fully healthy in Rams camp and looks like a nice value in Round 4 of drafts.
No. 11: WR Roman Wilson is week-to-week with an ankle injury
Wilson was the Steelers’ third-round pick in the NFL Draft. He had a chance to compete for a starting role right away as the Steelers lack receiver depth behind George Pickens. But now Wilson will likely miss the rest of camp after being carted out of practice and is hoping to be ready Week 1.
This benefits players like Calvin Austin and Van Jefferson who are pushing for the WR2 job in camp. But TE Pat Freiermuth may be the one who benefits most as he continues to have a great training camp.
Herbert injured his foot Thursday and it appears he’ll miss the rest of camp. The team is expecting him to be ready for Week 1, but I’m skeptical. Coach Jim Harbaugh has been extremely vague when communicating injuries. He still hasn’t released the reason for RB Gus Edwards’ reported surgery:

No. 9: D’Onta Foreman is Carted Off
The Browns’ veteran RB was carted off on Thursday with a neck injury. First and foremost, let’s…
