Browns | Davone Bess could start early Sun Jun 16, 12:49 PM
Cleveland Browns WR Davone Bess could start while WR Josh Gordon serves his two-game suspension.
| Footballguys view: Bess is going to be the team's slot receiver behind Gordon and Greg Little this year. While he's filling in at WR2 we'll see guys like Travis Benjamin or David Nelson fill in at the WR3 spot. |

Vikings | John Sullivan unsure about status for camp Sun Jun 16, 12:48 PM
Minnesota Vikings C John Sullivan (knee) said he is not sure if he will be ready for the start of training camp and does not want to put a timetable on his return. 'I just don't want to put a time frame on it,' Sullivan said. 'We're taking it one day at a time. I promise, I am doing absolutely everything I can to be ready for that [week one] game in Detroit.'
Link to story Vikings | Greg Childs not cleared yet Sun Jun 16, 12:30 PM
Minnesota Vikings WR Greg Childs (knees) has not been cleared to participate in team practices at this point and likely will not be for some time. He has been working out in the weight room and currently weighs 225 pounds. He has also been able to do some running and cutting.
| Footballguys view: Childs has interesting upside if he could ever get healthy. He's never been the same since a torn patellar tendon his junior year in college at Arkansas. Last season he suffered patellar tendon injuries to both knees and is trying to make his way back. In super deep dynasty leagues he's worth having on the end of your bench as a lottery ticket player. We'd love to see what he could do if he ever returned to form but the chances of that happening are slim. |

The Jacksonville Jaguars appear to be grooming C Mike Brewster to be their next center after C Brad Meester leaves.
Link to story Jaguars | Blaine Gabbert expected to start Sun Jun 16, 12:17 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars QB Blaine Gabbert is expected to be the starting quarterback Week 1 unless he performs very badly in training camp and preseason.
| Footballguys view: Gabbert performing badly in training camp and the preseason is not out of the question. He's been struggling in minicamp so things may not get better when the team puts shoulder pads on. Gabbert could be replaced by veteran Chad Henne as the team's starter at any time. It's a make or break season for the 2011 first-round pick and this could be his last season with the Jaguars. |

Jaguars | Likely will keep two QBs Sun Jun 16, 12:12 PM
The Jacksonville Jaguars are expected to keep QBs Blaine Gabbert and Chad Henne on their final roster. QBs Matt Scott and Jordan Rodgers could be options for the practice squad.
| Footballguys view: Scott is an interesting prospect to keep an eye on in super deep dynasty leagues. He's incredibly athletic and has a strong arm but struggles with accuracy and decision making. Rodgers is the younger brother of Packers superstar QB Aaron Rodgers. He's a backup caliber player who has little upside as a starter. |

Free-agent DT Richard Seymour (Raiders) said he has not been able to reach a contract agreement with the Atlanta Falcons. Seymour is still open to signing with the Falcons.

Ravens | Arthur Brown on schedule Sun Jun 16, 11:39 AM
Baltimore Ravens LB Arthur Brown (hernia) said he is on schedule to fully participate once training camp begins. He was able to participate in team drills during minicamp but could not participate in a full practice.
| Footballguys view: Great news for the Ravens here. Brown was one of our favorite linebackers in the 2013 NFL draft. He's versatile and can play any linebacker spot (strong, weak, middle) on the defense. Brown is known as a hard worker and a football junkie. The Ravens likely have another budding star in Brown. |

Colts | Want to use Coby Fleener as vertical threat Sun Jun 16, 11:35 AM
The Indianapolis Colts want to use TE Coby Fleener more as a vertical threat down the seam this season.
| Footballguys view: An important note for fantasy owners here. Fleener is familiar with the Pep Hamilton offense from their days together at Stanford. The Colts should use both Fleener and Dwayne Allen more this season. The Hamilton offense isn't as vertical as the system used last year by former OC Bruce Arians. |

Colts | Believe Darrius Heyward-Bey can be explosive playmaker Sun Jun 16, 11:26 AM
The Indianapolis Colts believe WR Darrius Heyward-Bey could be an explosive playmaker this season that could get behind the defense. Heyward-Bey is expected to receive more opportunities than he received when he was with the Oakland Raiders.
| Footballguys view: Heyward-Bey has great downfield speed and can get on top of the defense in a hurry. The problem with his game is a lack of consistency and concentration. Heyward-Bey will often drop easy passes and he's known for letting too many balls hit the ground. |

Jets | Santonio Holmes hopes to be ready for camp Sun Jun 16, 11:23 AM
New York Jets WR Santonio Holmes (foot) indicated he hopes to be ready for the start of training camp. Holmes may not be ready for camp because he has not started running or cutting yet.
| Footballguys view: Holmes may not be ready for the start of training camp as he comes back from his Lisfranc injury. He could be placed on the PUP list for training camp if he's not fully recovered. The plan is to have Holmes ready for the start of the regular season. |

Jets | Stephen Hill struggled during minicamp Sun Jun 16, 11:15 AM
New York Jets WR Stephen Hill struggled with drops during the team's recent minicamp.
| Footballguys view: Hill has a good size/speed combination but is still an incredibly raw prospect. He's coming back from a knee injury and the team needs him to impress in training camp. They have an unproven group of WR Santonio Holmes, who is coming back from a Lisfranc injury. |

Jets | Geno Smith needs to work on calling plays in huddle Sun Jun 16, 11:10 AM
New York Jets quarterbacks coach David Lee said QB Geno Smith needs to be more consistent with his ability to call plays in the huddle. Smith struggled with some of the calls during offseason workouts.
| Footballguys view: Learning the playbook and the terminology is key for Smith. He's competing with Mark Sanchez to be the team's starter in 2013. Smith worked primarily out of the shotgun during his time in college at West Virginia. |

Jets | Mike Goodson's future still uncertain Sun Jun 16, 11:10 AM
New York Jets RB Mike Goodson's future with the team is still uncertain because of his arrest this offseason. He could face a one-game suspension if he pleads guilty to possession of marijuana. The gun charges against him could be dropped.
| Footballguys view: The gun charges were far more severe than the drug charges. Goodson is competing with Bilal Powell to be the team's primary backup behind Chris Ivory. The legal process could drag throughout the rest of the year. The league won't hand down any sort of suspension until the courts have made a decision. |

New York Jets LB David Harris said the defense will be more aggressive getting to the quarterback than they were the last few seasons.

Broncos | Offensive backfield notes Sun Jun 16, 12:54 AM
The Denver Broncos could start RB Ronnie Hillman for Week 1, but he is expected to eventually give way to rookie RB Montee Ball, perhaps by the end of September. Veteran RB Knowshon Moreno likely will be used often, as he is the best pass-protecting running back on the team.
| Footballguys view: This is a feeling that has been going around Dove Valley for some time. Hillman is getting a majority of the first-team snaps this offseason. Ball was selected to be the primary back but the team won't simply hand him the starting job. We'll see if Ball can win the job over Hillman in training camp. Hillman could be their primary change of pace back behind Ball if he doesn't win the starting job. |

NFL | Willis McGahee released because of his knee injury? Sun Jun 16, 12:44 AM
Paul Klee, of the Colorado Springs Gazette, believes the primary reason free-agent RB Willis McGahee (knee, Broncos) is no longer a Denver Broncos roster member is because of his health status. Broncos head coach John Fox said McGahee's decision to skip voluntary minicamp had nothing to do with the veteran's release.
| Footballguys view: The team denies this is what happened. Even McGahee said that he was feeling great and was healthy when he arrived at Dove Valley for minicamp. "I'm healthy, I'm cleared. Everything is good. No problems. I can run. I've been working out when I was in Miami. I've dropped down (weight). No complaints." |

Eagles | DeSean Jackson clarifies QB comments Sun Jun 16, 12:24 AM
Philadelphia Eagles WR DeSean Jackson clarified but ultimately stood behind his comments about wanting to have the Eagles' starting quarterback named before training camp.
| Footballguys view: We'll see how the competition unfolds during training camp. Michael Vick and Nick Foles have been working to win the starting job this offseason. Vick is a better fit for the zone read option plays that will be featured by new head coach Chip Kelly. If Foles wins the job then we'll see more use of the TEs in a more traditional offense. |

Broncos | Moreno pushing for more playing time Sat Jun 15, 06:57 PM
Denver Broncos RB Knowshon Moreno is getting healthier and getting a small handful of first-team reps this offseason. Moreno knows that he may be behind Ronnie Hillman and rookie Montee Ball (Wisconsin) but he's pushing for more playing time after the release of Willis McGahee. "It's not an opportunity now that he's gone because I'm trying to push for more time even if he was here. When he's not here I still have six other guys to compete with. So it's just a matter of his experience I was competing with."
| Footballguys view: Moreno may be third on the depth chart right now and the team is bringing him back slowly as he recovers from the knee injury he suffered in the playoff game against the Ravens. He proved last year that he could be a capable starter if called upon. We'll see Ball and Hillman compete for the starting job in training camp. Moreno gives the team veteran insurance in case the two younger backs don't work out or get hurt. |

Broncos | Hillman wants to start Sat Jun 15, 06:55 PM
Denver Broncos second-year RB Ronnie Hillman has been working as the primary back with the first-team this offseason. Some see him as only a change of pace back but Hillman believes otherwise. "I'm trying to push to be the starting running back--I want to be come Sept. 5. If what I produce on the field this camp coming up allows me to be then I'll be happy but that is the goal." Hillman said.
| Footballguys view: Hillman has been getting a majority (around 75%) of the first-team reps this offseason. He's added 15 pounds of muscle this offseason after falling to below 180 pounds at the end of last year. Hillman has been a standout player at OTAs and many Broncos reporters have commented on him being faster and more explosive this year. We'll see if he can hold onto the starting job when training camp rolls around. Even if Hillman is the starter this team will still employ a RBBC which should also feature rookie Montee Ball (Wisconsin). |

Broncos | Montee Ball comfortable with the playbook Sat Jun 15, 06:51 PM
Denver Broncos second-round pick RB Montee Ball (Wisconsin) feels comfortable in his playbook so far. "I feel really good, actually. I think I showed a lot of progress, in the OTAs, practices, and the rookie minicamp all put together. I showed a lot of progress and I'm extremely comfortable with the playbook right now." Ball said.
| Footballguys view: Great news for the Broncos here. According to Peyton Manning the team is not going to bring Ball along slowly. He's currently getting some first-team reps (about 25%) behind second-year back Ronnie Hillman. However, most expect him to win the starting job by the start of the regular season. Even if Ball is the starter new OC Adam Gase has commented that the team will use a RBBC. Ball's ADP is climbing (RB22) but fantasy owners need to recognize it could get too high if it climbs much further. John Fox's history with rookie RBs is not kind. |

Broncos | John Fox showing faith in RBs Sat Jun 15, 06:44 PM
Denver Broncos head coach John Fox is showing faith in the RBs left on the roster after the release of veteran RB Willis McGahee. "I think anytime you pick your team, or begin to pick your team, you're showing faith in those people. I thought [RB] Ronnie [Hillman] came on very well last year. I've been impressed by [RB] Montee Ball--not that he's there yet by any stretch. And then we've got [RB] Knowshon [Moreno], who is also coming off of an injury, who we feel pretty good about."
| Footballguys view: The team would not have released McGahee if they didn't feel comfortable about the players they have in place. Most expect Ball to win the starting job by the start of the regular season. Hillman could be a featured player in their RBBC as the 'Lightning' to Ball's 'Thunder.' Moreno gives the team veteran insurance in case of struggles or injury. |

Patriots | UDFA WR Thompkins getting first-team reps Sat Jun 15, 06:24 PM
New England Patriots undrafted free agent WR Kenbrell Thompkins has been getting first-team reps during the team's recent OTAs. Michael Jenkins, Kamar Aiken, and Thompkins have been working as the primary outside receivers.
| Footballguys view: Thompkins is an interesting prospect to keep an eye on in super deep dynasty leagues. Our very own Cecil Lammey and Sigmund Bloom liked what they saw from Thompkins during the week of practice for the Texas vs The Nation Game earlier this year. Thompkins has good downfield speed and can adjust to poorly thrown passes. The Patriots have a wide open depth chart at the WR position behind Danny Amendola. |

Patriots | WR Jones further down the depth chart than expected Sat Jun 15, 06:21 PM
New England Patriots WR Donald Jones looks further down the depth chart than some expected. The free agent addition from the Bills has not been able to get any first-team reps this offseason.
| Footballguys view: Jones is currently behind Michael Jenkins, Kamar Aiken, and Kendbrell Thompkins on the depth chart. Many thought the veteran could be a starter as the primary downfield target for the Patriots in 2013. At this time veteran Michael Jenkins seems to be the frontrunner. |

49ers | Rookie TE McDonald the top rookie? Sat Jun 15, 02:34 PM
San Francisco 49ers 2013 second-round pick TE Vance McDonald (Rice) may have been the biggest standout from their rookie class during the team's recent OTAs.
| Footballguys view: McDonald is a fantastic receiver who can attack the deep middle seam of the defense. He's incredibly athletic and creates mismatches on the field. McDonald needs to work on his hands and concentration as he too often drops easy passes. He also needs to add strength in order to be a better blocker. |

Jaguars | Expected to use committee at WR while Justin Blackmon out Sat Jun 15, 01:07 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars general manager Dave Caldwell said he expects the team to use a receiver-by-committee approach while WR Justin Blackmon serves his four-game suspension. Caldwell mentioned WRs Ace Sanders, Mike X. Brown and Mohamed Massaquoi as possible members of the committee.
| Footballguys view: What this means is more targets for Cecil Shorts. None of the receivers in this committee are that interesting for fantasy owners. Brown is the most interesting because of his work ethic and the Wes Welker comparisons he was drawing last year in camp. Massaquoi has the most experience here and may emerge as the leader during Blackmon's four week suspension. |

Jacksonville Jaguars general manager Dave Caldwell said the plan is for RB Maurice Jones-Drew (foot) to fully participate in practice once training camp begins. Caldwell said he is not concerned that Jones-Drew will be rusty if he comes to camp in shape.
| Footballguys view: Fantasy owners aren't considering Jones-Drew a RB1 anymore. His current ADP is RB14 and he's coming off the board at 2.06 in 12 team leagues. We'll see if he can play better than people expect in 2013. |

Jacksonville Jaguars general manager Dave Caldwell said he has no problem with taking five quarterbacks at training camp. QBs Blaine Gabbert, Chad Henne, Mike Kafka, Jordan Rodgers and Matt Scott are currently on the roster.
| Footballguys view: The Jaguars have a poor collection of QBs and more competition is nothing but a good thing. Gabbert and Henne are the most likely to start this season. Scott is an interesting UDFA to consider in super deep dynasty leagues. He's incredibly athletic and has a strong arm. However, he struggles with decision making and his accuracy leaves a lot to be desired. |

I don't think there is a nicer person that I've ever met, and now he'll get to compete with all the other people at the position, and our hope is that he's on our 53-man roster,' Kraft said.
| Footballguys view: Tebow gets a chance to develop as a third-string QB behind Tom Brady and Ryan Mallett. He should make the team and may see the field as a gadget player in 2013. |

Packers | James Jones thinks team can have three 1,000-yard WRs Sat Jun 15, 12:32 PM
Green Bay Packers WR James Jones said he believes he, WR Randall Cobb and WR Jordy Nelson could all post 1,000-yard seasons in 2013. 'I've been on record as saying that I believe we have three 1,000-yard receivers in this room. I believe me, Randall and Jordy, if we all stay healthy, we can all reach over 1,000,' Jones said.
| Footballguys view: It wouldn't be a stretch to see the Packers offense support three 1,000 yard receivers. The problem is they also have a quality pass catching TE in Jermichael Finley. Cobb is a top 10 WR and Nelson is a WR2 for fantasy owners. Jones makes for a great high end WR3 with upside in 2013. |

San Francisco 49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh did not rule out the possibility of the team signing a wide receiver before the start of training camp. The team did work out free-agent WR Austin Collie (Colts) but have not signed him at this point.
| Footballguys view: Collie (knee) may not be cleared to resume football activities until October but has been getting some interest in the last week. He is trying to make a comeback from a ruptured right patella tendon. Collie has a long concussion history that also clouds his NFL future. |

Steelers | Le'Veon Bell working on blocking Sat Jun 15, 11:34 AM
Pittsburgh Steelers RB Le'Veon Bell said he is working on his pass blocking techniques because he will not be on the field if he can't block during passing plays. 'I am looking forward to it,' Bell said. 'I am a big guy too. There are other running backs that are a lot smaller than me who can protect great. I am going to watch technique, learn technique and use my size to my advantage. I know how important it is.'
| Footballguys view: Blocking is all about desire and technique. Once Bell has perfected his technique then it comes down to a willingness to get in the way. He also must learn the line calls and understand what his blocking assignment is and where the rushers could be coming from. The rookie may see his playing time limited until he proves to be reliable in pass protection. |

Austin has worked at split end and in the slot during workouts. He also appears to have created chemistry with QB Sam Bradford in the red zone.
| Footballguys view: Pettis is the forgotten man in the Rams WR corps this year. The team added Tavon Austin and Stedman Bailey in the 2013 NFL draft after adding Chris Givens and Brian Quick in the draft last year. We'll see if he can carve out a backup role on the team this season. |
