Bengals | Tyler Boyd likely to open season in slot

Cincinnati Bengals WR Tyler Boyd will get chance to earn immediate playing time, according to new offensive coordinator Ken Zampese.

Footballguys View: The Bengals have A.J. Green and (for now) Brandon LaFell on the outside at WR. LaFell will likely end up disappointing them (like he does at every stop), so Boyd’s role may grow from a WR3 to a WR2 for the team. For fantasy purposes, think of the rookie as a WR6 with upside.

Buccaneers | Luke Stocker important to Tampa Bay

Tampa Bay Buccaneers TE Luke Stocker is considered an invaluable part of the Buccaneers’ offense, according to tight ends coach Jon Embree. ‘He’s a great pass protector, he’s a good run blocker and he can be a threat in the passing game,’ Embree said. ‘He knows what everyone is supposed to do. There were a lot of times last year where he made things right. Maybe a play wasn’t called right, or a formation, but he knew what was supposed to be done and he got it done.’
