Frank Ammirante said Jonnu Smith’s missed Tuesday practice with a knee issue is not a major setback because the tight end already knows Arthur Smith’s offense from stints in Tennessee and Atlanta. That familiarity should keep him "from falling behind" in camp installs. Ammirante suggested late-round tight-end drafters can still target Smith as a cheap plug-and-play once he’s back on the field.

Frank Ammirante remained unconcerned about A.J. Brown missing Wednesday’s practice with a hamstring issue, stating there are "no signs he’ll miss time." He pointed out that Philadelphia faces a tougher 2025 schedule that projects to push their pass rate higher than last year’s. With additional volume on the horizon, Ammirante expects Brown to post "improved numbers" and encouraged managers to draft him confidently at his current late-first pricing.

Frank Ammirante warned that Mike Gesicki’s lingering hamstring injury could quietly cost him snaps even if he suits up for Week 1. The Bengals added Noah Fant this offseason, giving them "much better depth" at tight end. Ammirante said any missed practice time by Gesicki would allow Fant to carve out a bigger early-season role, urging fantasy managers to monitor participation reports and be ready to pivot if the injury lingers.

Frank Ammirante called Rhamondre Stevenson a "value pick" after Mike Vrabel said the running back’s unspecified injury is not expected to linger. While rookie TreVeyon Henderson is dominating headlines, Ammirante expects Stevenson’s bruising interior style to keep him heavily involved once healthy. He urged drafters to scoop up Stevenson at his depressed ADP before camp footage reminds the market he is still a core piece of New England’s ground game.

Frank Ammirante pushed back against the "doom-and-gloom" around Najee Harris’ freak Fourth-of-July eye injury. Harris returned to drills Tuesday, and Ammirante believes that trajectory gives him "a good chance" to be active for Week 1, where he is expected to share backfield duties with Omarion Hampton. With many drafters fading him on injury fear, Ammirante labeled Harris a late-summer discount for anyone comfortable with a committee role in the Chargers offense.

Frank Ammirante advised buying Justin Jefferson wherever he slips in drafts, noting that Kevin O’Connell said the receiver is "on the right track" and will be re-evaluated next week. Ammirante has already seen Jefferson fall to 1.06 despite no expectation of regular-season absence. He framed the brief hamstring scare as a gift for managers, reminding readers Jefferson is still "the best wideout in the NFL" and carries league-winning target volume whenever healthy.

Frank Ammirante said drafters should keep Malik Nabers locked into late-Round-1 or early-Round-2 territory even after the wideout missed Wednesday’s practice with shoulder and toe issues. Ammirante called the ailments "nothing to worry about," stressing that Nabers remains one of the league’s most talented receivers and that Jaxson Dart’s promising debut reassures the quality of his targets. He advised readers to "fire him up at the 1/2 turn" before any August ADP rebound wipes out the discount.
