Fantasy Impact:

Dugger signed a four-year, $58 million deal not too long ago, and this demotion could be a sign that a trade or cut could be in line, says Kevin Patra of NFL.com. Mike Vrabel has emphasized that everyone will earn their spot as a starter, and that includes the former second-rounder. "A lot of this is that guys have earned the right to take a look with that first unit and, again, there will be different lineups and different things. Just focus on the reps that you get right now."
