Dolphins | Several WRs to compete for spots

Miami Dolphins WRs Allen Hurns, Gary Jennings and Isaiah Ford will be among the receivers to compete for one or two spots on the final roster.

Footballguys View: The Dolphins have DeVante Parker, Preston Williams and Albert Wilson as their top three wide receivers. Behind them, Jakeem Grant should make the team due to his ability as a return man. That leaves one or two spots open for Hurns, Jennings or Ford. Jennings is learning multiple positions this offseason and certainly has the most upside of the three. Hurns is the seasoned veteran who is good for about 20 catches a year. Ford was thrust into a larger role over the last month of the 2019 season and finished with 21 catches over that four-game stretch. We’ll see if that momentum helps him win a spot on the 53-man roster this year.

Giants | NYG uncertain about OT situation

New York Giants OTs Nate Solder and Andrew Thomas are the leading candidates to start at offensive tackle this upcoming season, but the team is not sure which side they will be used. Solder and Thomas are expected to receive snaps at left tackle and right tackle during training camp.

Footballguys View: Solder is the veteran left tackle who is average to below average as a starter. Thomas is the team’s first-round pick from the 2020 NFL draft and arguably the best tackle prospect in this draft class. Either player could play right or left tackle. We’ll see this competition shake out in training camp with the winner at left tackle in charge of protecting QB Daniel Jones blind side.

Falcons | Qadree Ollison should have role

Atlanta Falcons RB Qadree Ollison could be used as a short yardage running back this upcoming season. He had four rushing touchdowns that were three yards or fewer in 2019.

Footballguys View: Ollison may be no.4 on the depth chart right now, but he could quickly catapult to as high as no.2 by the end of training camp. Todd Gurley is the team’s starter but if he can’t stay healthy then the team will be looking for someone to be their lead back. That could be Ollison given his power, balance and burst that the others on the roster (Ito Smith, Brian Hill) don’t have. We love him in dynasty formats and will keep him on waiver wire speed dial in redraft leagues.

Falcons | Ito Smith healthy

Atlanta Falcons RB Ito Smith said he has completely recovered from the neck injury he suffered during the 2019 season.

Footballguys View: Smith only made it through seven games in 2019 before he was injured. He ran the ball 22 times for 106 yards and one rushing touchdown. Smith is a slashing runner who right now is the no.2 back for the Falcons behind starter Todd Gurley. We’ll see if he can hang onto that spot in training camp as he will be pushed by Qadree Ollison and Brian Hill.

Falcons | Kurt Benkert may push for backup job

Atlanta Falcons QB Kurt Benkert may push QB Matt Schaub for the No. 2 quarterback job, but Schaub is the clear favorite for the job.

Footballguys View: Benkert is built a lot like Schaub, but just a much younger version. Both quarterbacks played their college ball at Virginia and are known as prototypical pocket passers. Schaub was a third-round pick way back in the 2004 NFL draft, while Benkert was picked up as an undrafted free agent in 2018 and has been developing on the Falcons roster ever since.
