Sunday's cancelled Hall of Fame Game (due to what I guess you'd have to call a paint-out) delays the return of football for another week but for teams other than the Colts and Packers it's been business as usual, which means the release of depth charts put together by PR departments that may not have much relevance by the time Week 1 rolls around. There's plenty of real news to sift through too, so let's get to it.

• not that it was a big surprise, but Robert Griffin was officially named the Browns' starting QB by head coach Hue Jackson. There's arguably no player in the league this year who has a wider range of plausible outcomes this season as Griffin could have a triumphant return to glory throwing the ball to Josh Gordon and Corey Coleman, barely play due to injury, or anything in between. RGIII is currently going somewhere after the likes of Brock Osweiler and Teddy Bridgewater by ADP, but there aren't many other picks you can make that late who have his upside. Something to keep in mind if you decide to wait on the position rather than paying top dollar for one of the elite options.
• a couple of rookie RBs have been taking advantage of their opportunities and are making a strong early push for a significant role if not the outright starting job. In Denver, Devontae Booker has put to rest worries about his pass-catching abilities and in already level with C.J. Anderson on the depth chart. If he can stay healthy, Booker could easily pass both Anderson and Ronnie Hillman before the preseason is done. Meanwhile in Seattle, injuries to Thomas Rawls (ankle) and C.J. Prosise (hamstring) plus a Christine Michael illness allowed fifth round pick Alex Collins to get first team reps in Sunday's scrimmage and he responded by getting into the end zone twice, including a 50-yard reception. Rawls is still the favorite to win the starting job and Michael was looking good prior to getting sick, but at the very least Collins is making himself a PPR consideration if he can win a third down role.
• speaking of PPR options, Jacquizz Rodgers has drawn early praise from the Bears' coaching staff and appears to have the inside track on the third down job. He caught 105 passes between 2012 and 2013 for the Falcons so he has the potential to do some damage in that role and it's not like the rest of Chicago's depth chart is exactly set ahead of him. Rodgers may not be this year's Devonta Freeman, bt he could be this year's Charlie Sims.
• in the good news department, Kelvin Benjamin will play in the Panthers' first preseason game after recovering sufficiently from last season's ACL tear and subsequent surgery, while Sammy Watkins passed his physical and was cleared to practice Monday after recovering from offseason foot surgery. Both young WRs are getting drafted at a discount right now, but expect them to climb back into the second round once they establish that they're fit. The Lions also seemed to have dodged a bullet when Eric Ebron was seen walking around in camp Monday just two days after suffering what was thought to have been an Achilles tendon injury. If he can stay healthy, the third-year TE could inherit a sizable share of the targets left on the table by Calvin Johnson's retirement.
• in the less good news department, the Eagles will be without Jordan Matthews for a couple of weeks after he banged his knee Friday. The injury certainly could have been worse, but any time lost by Matthews is time he could have used getting acclimated to new head coach Doug Pederson's offense. Nelson Agholor will line up as Sam Bradford's top target while Matthews is out.
• joining Matthews on the sidelined with minor lower body injuries are Eric Decker (leg soreness), popular breakout candidate DeVante Parker (hamstring), first round pick Corey Coleman (hamstring), Kendall Wright (hamstring) and Jamison Crowder (hamstring). None of those are expected to be issues in Week 1 but especially for younger players just getting used to the NFL grind, hamstring issues can linger so keep an eye on them.
• neither Jeff Heuerman nor Virgil Green have separated themselves from each other in the battle for the starting TE job with the Broncos. Whoever does emerge could be a useful security blanket for Mark Sanchez and plenty of tight ends have found success in a Gary Kubiak offense before. Green wasn't able to beat out Owen Daniels last year though, while Heuerman was a third round pick in 2015 and is the upside play of the two.
