Fantasy football managers must consider training camp and preseason news when they make their decisions on draft day, but they should also avoid overreactions to early developments as teams iron out wrinkles across the roster.
All 32 clubs have gone through weeks of training camp practices, released depth charts and played in at least one preseason game. In some cases, that's enough material to adjust player rankings on a fantasy draft board.
However, managers shouldn't use an early progress report, a depth chart subject to change or an exhibition contest with mostly backups to dictate projections for every player's 2021 outlook.
