The Palm Beach Post suggests that Miami Dolphins TEs David Martin and Justin Peelle could be on the roster bubble this summer. Martin is an injury-prone former wideout who drops too many balls. Peelle is moreso a blocking specialist but the team now has Sean Ryan and Anthony Fasano who can play...
Fantasy Take:
Nothing meaningful here from a fantasy perspective, other than that Fasano is a fantasy sleeper in '08.

St. Louis Rams WR Torry Holt indicated that he is not interested in signing an extension with the team.
Holt is due $5.65 and $6.65 million, respectively, in the final two years of his deal. "I have this year and next year, and hopefully I can finish those years out," Holt said....
Fantasy Take:
This isn't much fantasy news today, and by 2010 Holt will be well past his prime but it is interesting that he's willing to publicly state he would like to play in another city.

New Tennessee Titans offensive coordinator Mike Heimerdinger has been working extensively with QB Vince Young's on footwork. Young is embracing the necessary adjustments, most dealing with keeping a balanced approach in order to improve accuracy. "I feel like 'Dinger is getting me...
Fantasy Take:
If Young can improve on his pocket passing ability, he could surprise people again with a top 5 fantasy QB performance like he did in '07 as a rookie.

All of the Houston Texans running backs, including Ahman Green, are fully healthy for mini-camp.
Barring the unexpected, Green will enter the season as the starter, new FA signee, Chris Brown, will be the primary backup (he is familiar with the zone blocking scheme from college) while Chris...
Fantasy Take:
Ahman Green enters '08 as a #3 fantasy back with some upside if he can stay healthy. Chris Brown warrants consideration, particularly in deep leagues as he'll have some good weeks. The dynasty pick here is Steve Slaton who has the skill set to be a very good zone blocking runner and...

The Oakland Raiders used RB Darren McFadden in a variety of sets, split out wide, direct snaps from center and as a typical RB. “The future’s looking nice,” LB Thomas Howard said after watching McFadden put on an impressive display that included taking direct snaps from center, hauling in a nice...
Fantasy Take:
Since McFadden will be splitting carries with Justin Fargas (and possibly Bush), it's important to note that his fantasy value will be helped by being heavily involved in the passing game. I can't wait to see the explosiveness in our offense next year!

The Oakland Raiders 2nd year RB Michael Bush reportedly "ran with smooth athleticism that belied his size" during the Raiders' rookie minicamp Friday. Bush is 6'2/247 and reportedly also looked good catching the ball, which was one of Bush's strengths at Louisville.
Fantasy Take:
He'll be Oakland's No. 3 back to open the season, but remains intriguing because Justin Fargas is injury prone. That said rookie Darren McFadden is likely to be the featured guy with Fargas or Bush only getting carries at the goal-line & between the 20's - or then again, maybe Bush &...

ESPN's John Clayton writes that "it is now clear" that Chicago RB Cedric Benson will go to training camp with the Bears. Because of the cap hit (reportedly $6M+), it would hurt the Bears more to cut him than simply keep him on the roster.
Fantasy Take:
They may secretly hope Benson's recovery from a broken ankle goes slowly so they can stash him on injured reserve. As for his pending court case, the Bears will let the legal system play itself out. Benson will be paid his $820,000 this season.
What's clear is that rookie Matt...

ESPN's John Clayton suggests that recently released, turned free agent WR Koren Robinson could land with the Oakland Raiders. Clayton says Robinson, who was released Friday, hasn't heard much yet. But Oakland could use him on returns after losing Chris Carr.
Fantasy Take:
Robinson is reportedly also "monitoring what's going on in Kansas City," where he'd be a good fit and have some possible fantasy value, particularly given that the KC's possible starting WR's are Devard Darling & Jeff Webb.

According to SI's Bucky Brooks, some Seattle Seahawks officials believe Bobby Engram's production has been inflated due to QB Matt Hasselbeck's belief in the veteran. There's also speculation that the shift to a more balanced offense will diminish Engram's role. The Seahawks...
Fantasy Take:
This looks like spin coming from Seattle, but it does point out that Engram's role is likely to decrease this year, especially considering he's going to be 35 and the Seahawks want to diversify their attack.

According to the Detroit Free Press, RB Brian Calhoun reportedly "looks good" and is showing he fits the Lions' zone-blocking scheme at offseason practices. On the other hand, veteran RB Tatum Bell, appears overweight. "He (Bell) might be up there a little bit more," coach...
Fantasy Take:
Tatum Bell has never been great on passing downs and Kevin Smith is a rookie, so Calhoun could be the favorite for those downs. However its looking more and more like Kevin Smith maybe the man here, the fact Bell isn't even in shape doesn't bode well for his chances come training camp....
