There is no news to report for the Bengals as the start of training camp nears.

Training camp practices open to the public, in some cases season ticketholders only, are July 26, July 27, July 28, July 29, July 31, August 1, August 3, August 4, August 6, August 7, August 9, August 13, August 14, August 16.

Check the Bengals app or website for more information. There are 14 open practices in all, with four for season ticketholders.

Camp starts July 26.

From a fantasy perspective, going in to training camp there aren’t many competitions that should impact your lineups. Maybe your roster, but barring injury lineups won’t be altered much by these battles.

RB Chase Brown and RB Trayveon Williams appear to be headed to a collision course as the top backup to RB Joe Mixon. If I were guessing I would say Williams get the first shot but Brown can take over later on in the year if he impresses.

The top three wide receivers are set but beyond that there is competition. Again, not sure you’ll start any of these guys. WR Trenton Irwin, WR Charlies Jones, WR Andrei Iosivas are the top three backups and will likely make some preseason game noise.

If Boyd and/or Higgins leaves after this season, one of these wideouts may move in to the top three so having one could pay off down the road but not likely a game-winner this season.

On the defensive side, you might get a start or two out of DE Myles Murphy or DE Joseph Assai. They are backups who could earn situational time that could prove worthy.

DB Jordan Battle I think will be a starting safety so get the rookie if you can as a precursor to him being named the starter.

Beyond any of these positions, there doesn’t appear to be any starting slots open, again barring injury.

This team is strong enough that if someone is injured their backup could move in to a prominent role, so keep an keen eye out for any injury news.

End.
