Free-agent pickup enjoying a strong camp

| If the coaches are listening to Tyreek Hill and looking for a replacement for De'Von Achane in short-yardage situations, keep an eye on veteran running back Alexander Mattison. Miami loves Achane and Jaylen Wright, and they drafted Ollie Gordon in the sixth round in April. But Mattison, the former Vikings and Raiders back, has opened a lot of eyes in camp and could be playing himself into a role. (ESPN.com - Dan Graziano)
FFToday's Take: This is the kind of news that virtually no fantasy manager wants to hear. Not only could it possibly put a cap on Achane's ceiling, but it would also make stashing Wright less meaningful. The odds are against Miami keeping four running backs on the roster, but it would say a lot about the backfield situation if the Dolphins choose to go in that direction.
