    This time of Best Ball draft season is very tricky because NFL training camps are in full swing, the Preseason is about to begin, and we are flooded with news and player videos.

    It is tricky to react to camp news, but not overreact at the same time. The key is to react to the "right" news. And there is no easy answer for this to help adjust Best Ball rankings this time of year.

    Most importantly, I've learned not to react to camp videos of players on social media. NFL team's social media departments are trying to dazzle us with slow-motion clips of great catches. These clips have zero context with them we cannot let that guide our decisions. Last year, there were plenty of amazing catches from Chargers ' WR Quentin Johnston . That explains why we should not overhype these "hype" videos.

    Reports from beat reporters are good, but you need to make sure there is context to the reports and they are a trusted source. More important than actual plays is to see which players are practicing with the starters. Johnston for example, is practicing with the Chargers' backups, so that's a signal and a bad sign.

    I lean into outlets that give context to training camp reports. Hayden Winks of Underdog Network has a great thread that has helped me a lot.

    Here are my biggest movers this week based on camp reports:

    -Moved up WR Ladd McConkey to 60

    -Moved up WR Diontae Johnston to 73

    -Moved up WR Jameson Williams to 74

    -Moved down RB Zach Moss to 100

    -Moved up WR Curtis Samuel to 111

    -Moved down RB Jonathan Brooks to 112

    -Moved down WR Mike Williams to 120

    -Moved up JK Dobbins to 161

    -Moved down WR Jermaine Burton to 164

    -Moved down RB Kimani Vidal to 177

    -Moved down RB Kendre Miller to 188

    -Moved up RB Tank Bigsby to 193

    -Moved down WR Quentin Johnston to 201

    -Moved down WR Troy Franklin to 202
