This was reported as a possibility earlier in the offseason, so it's not all that surprising. What would be a shock is if the veteran receiver stayed on the PUP list for more than a few weeks. Keep an eye on his status as training camp progresses. Should Cooper miss the start of the regular season or be limited in any way, CeeDee Lamb and Michael Gallup would see a rise in fantasy value.

Our models currently project Cooper for 98.14 catches on 144.03 targets for 1,344.20 yards and 7.29 touchdowns.

This comes after initial reports stated Rudolph was expected to be ready to start camp. It's unclear if a setback occurred, or if the Giants are simply taking a more cautious approach with the veteran tight end. Should Rudolph be forced to miss time, Kaden Smith could see a more prominent role behind starter Evan Engram.

Our models project Rudolph for 12.01 catches on 17.23 targets for 109.86 yards and 0.89 touchdowns.

This always seemed to be a possibility, as Barkley is still in the process of recovering from a torn ACL. While the placing of him on this list can seem ominous, the current expectation is that the superstar rusher should be ready to go for Week 1. However, the situation should still be monitored as the regular season nears. Devontae Booker and Corey Clement figure to see large upticks in workload should Barkley be sidelined or even limited to start the year.

Our models currently project Barkley for 1,334.24 rushing yards on 289.70 carries for 10.98 touchdowns. They also project him for 65.72 catches on 89.75 targets for 490.89 yards and 2.91 scores.

Eskin is hearing there is a "great chance" that Ertz will remain with the Eagles and that the tight end is "over the issues" he had with management over contract disputes. It looks like the 30-year-old veteran will play out the final year of his deal with the Eagles before likely hitting free agency next offseason. Ertz's return is a downgrade for Dallas Goedert's value, though the latter should still work as the No. 2 target on offense behind DeVonta Smith. Ertz didn't have more than 70 yards in any game last season and he finished with 36 catches for 335 yards and 1 touchdown in 11 contests.

Ertz averaged the fewest yards per target (4.9) out of every Eagles wide receiver and tight end to draw multiple targets last season, and he had the worst catch rate (52.9 percent) on the team out of anyone with at least 30 targets. Among the 26 tight ends with 50-plus targets last year, Ertz ranked last in Reception Net Expected Points per target and second-worst in yards per route run.

Rodgers is currently under contract for the next three seasons, including the upcoming 2021 campaign. And according to Schefter, this extension would've been made the former MVP the highest-paid player in the league. It's been reported that Rodgers has many gripes with the organization and wants out, but nothing seems to be gaining traction in the way of trades thus far. Jordan Love would be in line to start under center if Rodgers holds out or gets moved.

Our models currently project Rodgers for 396.04-of-588.97 passing for 4,570.54 yards with 35.10 touchdowns and 5.65 interceptions.

Smith, one of the many free-agent signings from the Patriots this past offseason, didn't participate in most of OTAs due to a hamstring injury. However, he's had over a month to get right, and it appears he will be fully ready to go when the Patriots return to the team facility to gear up for the 2021 season. Smith and Hunter Henry should be a dynamic duo for Bill Belichick and whichever quarterback - either Cam Newton or rookie Mac Jones - takes snaps to start the season.

Our models currently project Smith for 49.98 catches on 78.33 targets for 557.68 yards and 4.44 touchdowns this season.
