Check out the latest news and notes around the NFL.
Patriots managing Rhamondre Stevenson‘s workload
Rhamondre Stevenson has spent three of the first seven practices working out on a separate field as the team looks to limit his workload to start training camp.
Fantasy Impact
Stevenson himself is unsure of exactly why he is being held out of practices, and his absence has given Pierre Strong and Kevin Harris additional opportunities. The team has also brought in marquee veteran running backs for visits but have not replaced James Robinson after his release prior to training camp.

Ty Chandler lacking consistency early in camp
Ty Chandler has reportedly lacked consistency early in training camp with the Vikings.
Fantasy Impact
With Alexander Mattison leaving practice early on Tuesday, Chandler saw more reps and he fumbled once. Seventh-round rookie DeWayne McBride is also competing for a role, but it is expected to be tougher for him to catch up to the whole offense. It is still possible the Vikings sign one of the veteran free agent running backs available, but for now Mattison still appears to be the clear lead back for Minnesota heading into Week 1.

A.J. Brown providing highlights in Eagles camp
A.J. Brown has been lighting up the field early in Eagles camp as his rapport with Jalen Hurts from last season carries over into this year.
Fantasy Impact
In his first year with the Eagles last season, Brown caught 88 passes for 1,496 yards and 11 touchdowns. His dominance continued into the playoffs all the way to the Super Bowl where the Eagles fell to the Chiefs. Brown should remain a WR1 for fantasy managers this season.
