Training Camp is in full swing, and players are already doing their best to show out. Unfortunately, not all is well. As players begin to up their intensity, so too does the risk of injury rise. We’re seeing some big names banged up already, with the biggest headline involving A.J. Green, who suffered yet another lower-body injury, this time to his ankle. He will reportedly not be on the field for a couple of regular season games.

Curtis Samuel, a Harmon favorite, continues to shine in camp. Jordan Howard is reportedly getting first-team reps with the Eagles thus far, which may damper the thoughts of Miles Sanders’ truthers.

0:00.0	Hello and welcome to the Yahoo Fantasy Football podcast. I am Liz Loza. Sitting next to me as always is Matt Harmon and sitting next to him as always is producer Brett Rader. How are you, Jens? How's your day?
0:15.0	I've wasted way too much of my day arguing with people that have disingenuous opinions about Michael Thomas on the
0:22.8	internet today. So I've had a, I've had a great day. Michael Thomas, $100 million deal, record
0:28.5	breaking deal. Isn't he the highest paid non-quarter, or the first ever non-quarterback
0:34.2	offensive player to reach $100 million? Yep. Which, like, awesome.
0:38.4	But, you know, it's one of the, you know, there's some things, Liz, where it's like,

1:08.0	for me to like quote tweet dunk on you. It's amazing that this is that which gets you so passionate given our world's current climate.
1:15.4	All right. I mean, Jesus Christ. Like, that's not the only thing I can get passionate about.
1:21.4	It's just what we're talking about in the moment. Is this not a fantasy football podcast?
1:24.7	We were just talking about global warming a minute ago. You want to get back on that?
1:28.0	That's very upset about paper straws.
1:29.7	They're failing him.
