Join now >Quincy Enunwa thinks he might get more opportunities this season.
The Jets have a new offensive coordinator (John Morton) that brings a different type of offense to the team. Enunwa said to Jets reporter Ethan Greenberg that he's "playing a little more receiver" instead of being lined up in the backfield at times last season, and that he expects "more opportunities inside, outside—that sort of thing," in the new system. Naturally, Enunwa should get more targets with Brandon Marshall and Eric Decker both gone, and this adds to that. Enunwa should be a high floor option with upside in the middle rounds of fantasy drafts.

Bucs GM Jason Licht tells Mike Garafolo that Doug Martin looks like he did in 2015.
In 2015, Martin rushed for over 1,400 yards and was named first team All-Pro. Licht told Garafolo that Martin looks "lean" and has that "burst" he used to, looking "like the Doug Martin of 2015." This lines up with everything that's been said by reporters this spring, who have said how good the running back looks. Martin has clearly committed himself this offseason and his hard work is showing on the field. He's suspended for the first three games of the season, but he should be a good fantasy option when he returns. Martin is worth a mid-round pick.

ESPN's James Walker projects Jay Ajayi to rush for over 1,400 yards this season.
Walker took into account head coach Adam Gase not being against getting Ajayi 350 carries this season and projected him for 1,435 yards rushing, 482 yards receiving, and 12 touchdowns. This would be over 1,900 yards, which only David Johnson and Ezekiel Elliott did last season. His rushing total projection could be more aggressive, but the receiving yardage projection is optimistic after Ajayi only had 151 receiving yards last season (although there has been talk of getting Ajayi more involved in the passing game). Ajayi is definitely worth drafting as an RB1 in the first two rounds this season.

The Seahawks have "really high hopes" for C.J. Prosise, head coach Pete Carroll said.
Prosise has reportedly been very good out of the backfield throughout the spring. He's a versatile weapon that can be split out as a receiver and create mismatches for the offense to take advantage of. Prosise is locked in as the passing down back for Seattle, but he might be able to play well enough to stay on the field for more than just passing downs; he averaged 5.7 yards per carry on his 30 carries as a rookie, and he's not just someone that's a good receiver. With Prosise, Eddie Lacy, and Thomas Rawls, Seattle should be happy with their running back situation.

John Brown was on "Good Morning Football" and said that he feels good.
It sounds like Brown is 100% and over his issues from last season when he had issues with his hamstring, issues with his sickle cell trait, and a cyst in his spine. He said, "right now I’m feeling great… I’m just ready to roll now. I’m excited." Brown will look to get back to his form from his first two seasons, when he averaged over 14.5 yards per catch in both years and had over 1,000 yards in 2015. He's a good bounce back candidate.

Sheil Kapadia reports that the Seahawks believe Jimmy Graham is "primed to have his best year in Seattle."
According to Kapadia, Graham was the first player Carroll mentioned when asked who stood out this spring. Carroll said his tight end has become "so much more of a complete player" than they thought he might be. This season, they are going to put more of a focus on getting Graham the ball near the end zone, after he had six touchdowns last season. Graham had 923 yards last season despite having to recover from his ruptured patellar injury from 2015, and he actually had a career-high in yards per reception (14.2). The 6'7" target is a high floor TE1 that also offers very good upside.

Markus Wheaton says the Bears receivers "definitely are underrated."
The new Bears receiver says they've all been working hard and "it'll show up on the field." Wheaton signed a very solid two-year, $11 million contract with the Bears in free agency after he spent his first four seasons with the Steelers. He's among the few new faces in the receiving group for Chicago, which is actually among the deepest in the NFL. Some good players probably won't make the final roster, and the competition should bring out the best in everyone. The Bears receivers right now include Wheaton, Kevin White, Kendall Wright, Cameron Meredith, Joshua Bellamy, Deonte Thompson, and Victor Cruz, among others.
