Don't look now, but the rookies for the Falcons, Ravens, Bills, Chiefs, Chargers, Dolphins, Saints, Giants, and 49ers reported to training camp last Tuesday. The Jets entire team reported last Wednesday, and the Browns full team reported to camp Friday, with the rest of the NFL's full rosters set to report to camp by tomorrow.
Yep, it's already here. 
There isn't too much to learn from the first days of camp, especially when so few full teams have reported. We're going to get some injury updates, which is nice – Isiah Pacheco may be added to the PUP list after offseason hand and shoulder surgeries, but was able to work out Wednesday, so it doesn't sound like it's too serious right now, Jimmy Garoppolo was cleared to start training camp following offseason surgery on his foot, and Kadarius Toney is already missing practice with a knee injury – but there isn't too much reason to worry about camps yet. 
There will be time for that, don't worry. Right now, let's keep an eye on the big picture. There was a bit of news in recent days, with Josh Jacobs and Saquon Barkley looking headed for holdouts, though at least in our mock draft Tuesday, that didn't lead to much of a discount – yet. The update today is that Jacobs reportedly boarded a flight out of Vegas and has no plans to report any time soon.
We also had DeAndre Hopkins finally sign with the Titans over the weekend, which was not the ideal landing spot, let's say. It doesn't mean he can't be good, but as Jamey Eisenberg wrote , "this isn't the best situation for his Fantasy value. Hopkins should only be considered a low-end No. 2 receiver in the majority of leagues, and the earliest you should draft him is Round 5." I mostly agree with that, though I'm a bit higher on Hopkins than Jamey is: I've got him as a late Round 4 pick. I wrote my thoughts on the signing in my Tennessee Titans team preview, which you can read here
You can see where I've got Hopkins ranked for yourself in today's newsletter because I've got my latest rankings for you for the start of training camp. These are the rankings I'm going off when I did my Scott Fish Bowl draft last weekend, and they're what I'll be using in the Fantasy Sports & Gaming Association's Experts League on Thursday night. These won't be my rankings for the rest of draft season – there will be changes made regularly, and I'll be sending them out to you right here when I do make those changes – but this is what I've got for you right now. That includes my rankings for QB, RB, WR, and TE, plus my overall top-200, all for PPR leagues. 
Here's how I'm drafting right now!
