Training camp is almost here, which means fantasy football values will continue to change by the day. Wednesday’s news cycle provided fantasy managers with several intriguing storylines heading into draft season, including potential bounce-back candidates, ascending young talent and veterans who could find themselves back on the fantasy radar in 2026.
Here are some of the biggest fantasy football takeaways from July 22’s news.
Jerry Jeudy Could Be Ready for a Bounce-Back Season
After an injury-shortened campaign, Jerry Jeudy enters 2026 with an opportunity to remind fantasy managers why he remains one of the league’s talented wide receivers. Cleveland’s offense appears to be moving in the right direction, and Jeudy’s health will be one of the more important storylines to monitor throughout training camp. If everything comes together this summer, he could quickly become a popular draft-day target.
Calvin Ridley Remains an Intriguing Name to Watch
Fantasy managers shouldn’t forget about Calvin Ridley. Injuries limited the veteran receiver last season, but he’s not far removed from productive fantasy campaigns. With training camp approaching, Ridley has quietly become one of the more interesting bounce-back candidates entering 2026. His health and role will be worth monitoring closely throughout August.
Dalton Kincaid Still Offers Plenty of Fantasy Upside
The excitement surrounding Dalton Kincaid hasn’t disappeared. Injuries prevented him from taking the next step in 2025, but his opportunity within Buffalo’s offense remains intact heading into this season. Tight end remains one of fantasy football’s most difficult positions to navigate, making Kincaid a player fantasy managers should continue watching as training camp unfolds.
Parker Washington Continues to Earn Praise in Jacksonville
Positive offseason reports continue to follow Parker Washington. Jaguars head coach Liam Coen recently praised Washington’s development, work ethic and chemistry within the offense. Jacksonville’s receiver room remains competitive, but Washington has done nothing but help his case this offseason and is a name worth remembering in deeper fantasy formats.
TreVeyon Henderson’s Role Will Be Worth Monitoring
Few young running backs offer the versatility of TreVeyon Henderson. His ability to contribute as both a runner and receiver gives fantasy managers another intriguing name to follow as training camp begins. Opportunity often creates fantasy value, and Henderson’s development throughout August could make him one of the more interesting young running backs to monitor this summer.
Jalen Coker Quietly Finds Himself in a Great Position
Sometimes fantasy value comes from opportunity, and that’s exactly why Jalen Coker deserves attention entering his second NFL season. Carolina appears committed to expanding his role moving forward, placing him firmly on the radar for fantasy managers playing in deeper formats. He’s unlikely to be among the first names called on draft day, but he’s certainly worth monitoring throughout training camp.
Aaron Rodgers May Still Have Something Left in the Tank
At 42 years old, Aaron Rodgers isn’t being asked to carry fantasy rosters anymore. However, fantasy football has always been about value, and Pittsburgh’s veteran quarterback could still provide useful production in the right formats this season. The Steelers’ offense will undoubtedly be one of training camp’s most fascinating storylines, making Rodgers another player fantasy managers shouldn’t completely overlook.
Fantasy Takeaway
Training camp always creates fantasy football winners and losers, and we’re just getting started. Yesterday’s news cycle reinforced an important reminder for fantasy managers—player values aren’t determined in July, but they can certainly begin changing in July.
Jerry Jeudy, Calvin Ridley, Dalton Kincaid, Parker Washington, TreVeyon Henderson, Jalen Coker and Aaron Rodgers are all names worth keeping on your radar as draft season approaches. The difference between winning and losing in fantasy football often comes down to identifying changing situations before the rest of your league catches up.
