Jimmy Ciarlo's Army-to-NFL arc is spotlighted via HBO Hard Knocks as he chases a Bills roster spot. He was cut on Aug. 27 but reportedly signed to Buffalo's practice squad, keeping the dream alive and illustrating the grind rookies face.

Fantasy takeaway: watch Bills depth and any rise from the practice squad. If injuries strike, a hard-nosed contributor with special-teams value could surface, making him a speculative taxi-squad stash or a DFS punt if a promotion occurs.
