Shiel Kapadia predicts around 15 carries per game for Eddie Lacy.

Kapadia has believed the Seahawks brought in Lacy to be a workhorse-type running back for them. If Lacy does indeed get 15 carries per game, he'd be a solid RB2. But, he does have a lot of competition in the backfield with C.J. Prosise and Thomas Rawls, who it might be hard to keep off the field.

Browns quarterback Cody Kessler ate the same thing every day for three months, according to Cleveland.com

The meal plan that was put together with help from the team's dietician Katy Meassick, and it was very high in protein, with almonds and peanut butter on pretzels as his two snacks. This is obviously a big show of commitment by Kessler, who has an opportunity in front of him to be the Browns' franchise quarterback. Kessler also did more work in the weight room and has lower body fat, which is leading to more zip on his passes. The Browns must be thrilled with how Kessler attacked his offseason. He is the heavy favorite to be the team's the starter for 2017.

Vikings running back Latavius Murray says he should be running on the field in about a week.

Murray is currently running in a pool and hasn't been able to get on the field with his new team after he underwent offseason ankle surgery. The Vikings have Jerrick McKinnon and rookie Dalvin Cook in the mix, but Murray brings the big back presence to the offense. They are all versatile backs as well, with the ability to catch the ball out of the backfield. This might turn out to be one of the true even RBBC's this season. It'll be good to see Murray on the field (it looks like it should happen by the start of training camp).

Julio Jones (foot) is expected to be good for training camp.

Jones underwent foot surgery after the season, and there's no need to rush him. He might be eased in, but Jones will be full-go at some point in training camp. Julio is an obvious top five receiver in 2017 fantasy drafts.

Rob Gronkowski is "full-go" for OTAs, according to Karen Guregian.

Gronk has no limitations, which is a great sign for his health. Despite all the weapons in the Patriots offense and so many other good tight ends putting up numbers around the league, Gronkowski is definitely worth an early round pick in fantasy drafts this year.

Odell Beckham Jr. tells Kimberly Jones that he will attend Giants' mandatory mini camp on June 13.

OBJ isn't at the team's voluntary OTAs, which he does not get bonuses for attending. The team would obviously like Beckham to be there with the rest of the team now, but at least he'll be at the mandatory training.

Maclin leaves Buffalo without a deal, is headed to Baltimore, according to Adam Schefter.

The visit for Maclin in Buffalo presumably went well, as it spilled over from yesterday into today and Maclin was seen smiling with running back LeSean McCoy and quarterback Tyrod Taylor on McCoy's Instagram. Now the Bills need to worry he doesn't leave Baltimore without a deal. Maclin could be telling all teams involved that he wants to hear from everyone first, however. Buffalo and Baltimore are likely the two favorites for Maclin.
