Leonte Carroo (knee) is ready for the start of training camp.

The Miami Herald’s Armando Salguero, who reported that Carroo had a minor knee procedure earlier this offseason, says Carroo has avoided both the PUP and NFI for the start of camp. The third-year receiver is looking to carve out a role in Miami’s receiving group this season, but he’s off the fantasy radar for now.

Carlos Henderson has been placed on the reserve/did not report list.

Apparently the second-year receiver did not report to Broncos training camp. With rookies Courtland Sutton and DaeSean Hamilton added to Denver’s receiving corps, things aren’t looking great for the 2017 third-round pick. We’ll see if we find out more soon, but Henderson is pretty far off the fantasy radar at the moment.

Derrick Henry says he’s added a few pounds this offseason.

Henry is already a monstrous running back, so this probably isn’t what opposing defenders want to hear as training camp begins for the Titans. Typically, running backs perform better when they drop weight than when they add it, but the former Alabama star has a great workout routine and might not have lost any speed or quickness with the added weight. With uncommon size and excellent top-end speed, Henry isn’t going to be fun to tackle this season. Also, Henry doesn’t want to make any predictions but says he just wants to be a “dominant” running back that has a great game every game. We think he has a ton of ability, and all that’s to be determined is his workload with Dion Lewis also in the mix for Tennessee.

Ricardo Louis is out for the season after neck surgery.

This is tough news to hear, as Louis was productive in his first two NFL seasons for the Browns, catching 45 passes for 562 yards; and he had an opportunity to step into a bigger role this season, especially with Josh Gordon’s uncertain situation. We wish the former Auburn receiver luck as he recovers from neck surgery, and hopefully we see him back on the field next year.

Eli Rogers is re-signing with the Steelers on a one-year deal, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

Rogers took some visits in the last few days, but he’s re-signing where he spent the first three years of his NFL career. In 2016, Rogers had 48 receptions for 594 yards and three touchdowns with Pittsburgh, but his role declined last season when he caught 18 passes for 149 yards and one touchdown before suffering and playing through a torn ACL in the Divisional Round against Jacksonville. The Steelers have a lot of options at receiver, but Rogers could have a chance to carve out a solid role behind Antonio Brown and JuJu Smith-Schuster. It’ll likely be tough to trust him in fantasy lineups, though.

Marlon Mack “has had a good offseason recovery” from shoulder surgery.

Mack has shoulder surgery after the season after playing the year with a brace on his shoulder, and there’s no concern about his status for Week 1. The injury and brace didn’t seem to affect his play too much, but it’ll be a plus that he’s at 100% heading into 2018. Mack is expected to be in a committee with the Colts, but there’s a good chance he’ll lead the group in touches. Indy’s backfield is one to watch closely this summer.

Kamar Aiken has signed with the Eagles.

Aiken spent last season with the Colts and was a popular breakout pick, but he caught just 15 passes for 133 yards in 15 games (seven starts). Now in Philly, the 29-year-old will look to earn a role behind Alshon Jeffery, Nelson, Agholor, and Mike Wallace, which we think he has a good chance of doing with second-year wideouts Mack Hollins and Shelton Gibson the other candidates for the No. 4 and No. 5 spots. In 2015 with the Ravens, Aiken caught 75 passes for 944 yards and 5 touchdowns, but he is unlikely to turn into a fantasy contributor if he makes the team.
