Training Camp Need To Know - 8.5.25 (4 Viewers)

[Joe Bryant]

Sneak Peek before this goes to subscribers this evening:

Every August we kick off with 4 weekly editions of our Preseason Reports. We cover each team in depth.

But it's a huge feature.

Folks asked for a distilled version and several years we started doing this.

https://www.footballguys.com/article/2025-preseason-insights-what-you-need-to-know-this-week-1

From the intro:

Pressed for time but still want to stay sharp with the news? We've got you.

Every August, we roll out one of the most valuable things we do at Footballguys: our Footballguys Preseason Updates. They're 32+ pages per week of hand-crafted intel from our staff covering every relevant player on every NFL team. It's a monster feature. And honestly, it's worth the price of a Footballguys Premium Subscription on its own.

But we get it. Life doesn't always leave room for 32-page deep dives.

That's why we created this distilled version. No fluff, no filler. We take the full Updates and pull out the most crucial player takeaways, broken down team by team.

So you get smarter in minutes. Not hours.

It's an unfair advantage for Footballguys subscribers. And we're ok with that.

Most of these come straight from our full reports and Footballguys staffers; others are my takes. But all of it is curated to give you an edge.

Plus, we've added direct links to each team's Depth Chart and the Full Camp Report. So if you want to dig deeper, it's just one click away.

Let's dive in:

Love the direct link to their depth charts as you are reading the camp notes, very smooth

I don't think that's correct on Conner

Cardinals RB James Conner believes team can't shy away from including Trey Benson as fellow RB1We're

Do we think that's just talk and discarding it?
Urban paints it pretty good there.

Not to point out a negative, news happens quick.
I'm curious of the Benson 12th round ADP. That looks pretty good to me but it's a share so I don't want to like it too much and am watching the ADP.

Is Conner the goalline (among other things) back?

 

[Bri]

I spent a lot on Yoshi then got him again as a WW freebie and the dude never came through for me.
How do we feel about his hype this year?

 

[Bri]

Has Cecil discussed Engram playing WR? I'm only luke warm on "the other" WRs in Denver and if he's gonna take WR snaps idk that I want anyone other than he or Sutton. OU guy, Vele and Franklin and...for FF they can't afford to lose targets imo

All good I'm just curious of the ADP FF angle.
I don't think I'm going higher than 8th round for Benson.
Are you about the same?

 

[Bri]

I love these.
USAToday newspaper memories or somesuch.
Gordon? What was his name?
Helmet, team name, rankings off def under a line and then quick little notes

Miami Dolphins | Depth Chart | Footballguys Full Camp Report (coming soon)

Defense has been dominating, specifically Andrew Van Ginkel, Bradley Chubb, and Chop Robinson.

FYI, @Joe Bryant

 

[Clayton Gray]

Thanks, @LawFitz

 

[Joe Bryant]

Updated the Conner line.

• RB James Conner is crucial to the running game, but Trey Benson will have a robust role.

The Cardinals backfield has been one with different opinions. https://x.com/UDFootballShow/status/1950233327828443630

And also added an update for Jordan Addison 3 games.

Sheesh, NOW it's done. LOL

I spent a lot on Yoshi then got him again as a WW freebie and the dude never came through for me.

WTH is Yoshi?

Now we know why Bengals rookie Andrei Iosivas' nickname is 'Yoshi'

Cincinnati Bengals rookie wideout Andrei Iosivas goes by the "Yoshi" nickname that has quickly become popular with fans. But the nickname isn't strictly some affinity with the Mario franchise. It turns out nobody can pronounce his last name. Just look at the recent
