Broncos | Royce Freeman has an opening
Updating previous reports, Denver Broncos RB Royce Freeman has the opportunity to be the team’s lead back, according to head coach Vance Joseph.
Footballguys View: Freeman is going to compete in training camp with Devontae Booker for the starting job. The Broncos are going to be a run-heavy team, and fantasy owners need to watch this situation closely to see if one back emerges as the bellcow. Booker has done little to impress (3.6 YPC average) in two years, and Freeman could have RB2 value for fantasy owners if he’s the lead back for the Broncos.
Packers | Randall Cobb hobbled
Green Bay Packers WR Randall Cobb (ankle) could miss the start of training camp due to a right ankle injury, according to sources. He is in a walking boot but didn’t say whether he had surgery.

According to sources, he’s also contesting the way the documentation and delivery of Edelman’s test results were handled.
