The Jacksonville Jaguars offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter says the team is working to "improve (David Garrard) as a deep-ball thrower" this offseason. Koetter's background is with the vertical passing game. The Jags feel Jerry Porter can increase their downfield productivity....
Fantasy Take:
Jacksonville will likely remain a run-first team, but taking more shots could open some running lanes and lead to a more explosive overall offense.
Garrard is a low end starting fantasy QB with limited upside to break the top 5. He's a great backup or #2 fantasy QB heading into...

The Cleveland Browns WR Joe Jurevicius is believed to have undergone a second "clean up" surgery on his knee after developing a staph infection. Jurevicius' knee was originally scoped in January. The second procedure probably explains why the Browns have held him out of post-draft...
Fantasy Take:
The Browns value Cribbs return ability too much for him to be above a fourth receiver. Cribbs led the team in special teams stops and brought back three return TDs in '07.
Jurevicius' injury casts doubt on his ability to play in '08 and will open up opportunities for younger...

With WR Ronald Curry (foot) sidelined, fellow WR's Drew Carter and Javon Walker were the Oakland Raiders' first-team wideouts at May OTAs.
Fantasy Take:
Carter is the favorite for third receiver duties over Johnnie Lee Higgins and Arman Shields. Hopefully we'll get some word on how Walker (knee) looked. Carter could surprise people, I just hope he's not pressed into duty this season.

The Oakland Raiders WR Ronald Curry underwent surgery on his foot two weeks ago.
He'll at least miss the team's first mandatory minicamp June 3-5. Curry was questionable for one game last year with an undisclosed foot injury and tore his Achilles in 2004, but it's unclear what...
Fantasy Take:
Curry, Oakland's leading receiver in 2007, may not be a sure thing for the start of training camp or the season for that matter. This is a tough one given how injury prone Curry has been. If he's healthy I think he's a solid receiver for us this year but he could just as easily miss...

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Herm Edwards says that if the Chiefs sign a veteran receiver, it won't be until after training camp has started. The depth chart has Dwayne Bowe & Jeff Webb as the starters, with Devard Darling in the #3 spot. Jeff Webb has two career starts and Devard Darling...
Fantasy Take:
At this point the only WR with any fantasy value is Dwayne Bowe but for folks in deep leagues don't forget Webb and Darling, one of which will start opposite Bowe & Tony Gonzales (a top 5 fantasy TE).

Detroit Lions WR Calvin Johnson reportedly "looked terrific" at the Lions' first round of offseason workouts. Johnson apparently looked much like he did last year before a troublesome back injury.
Fantasy Take:
Though Detroit will pass less frequently under new OC Jim Colletto, Johnson has high-scoring #2 fantasy WR upside due to his red zone size.

The Tennessee Titans new offensive coordinator Mike Heimerdinger says the Titans' receiver group is in "one giant wad" with no obvious favorites to start. Justin McCareins and Justin Gage ran with the first unit at OTAs, but that may only be due to Roydell Williams' ankle injury....
Fantasy Take:
That's an interesting note, especially given how wide open the WR position in Tennessee is. However he's unlikely to have any fantasy value in '08, so unless you're in a deep, deep keeper league, don't waste your time with Ealy this year.

Tennessee WR's Justin McCareins and Justin Gage ran as the Titans' starters at minicamps last week. Roydell Williams might've been in there if he was healthy. For now, it looks like the Titans' top three are McCareins, Williams, and Gage with Lavelle Hawkins, Brandon Jones, Mike...
Fantasy Take:
There's a lot of mediocrity in this receiver group, and plenty of opportunity. The Titans likely will only keep five, maybe six of these guys, so at least two will be released by the end of camp. One of these guys will surprise folks this year, my bet is on Justin McCareins who knows OC...

The Atlanta Falcons plan to have a "running offense" under new coordinator Mike Mularkey, according to ESPN's John Clayton. Mularkey will almost certainly throw less, meaning only one or at most two receivers will have any fantasy value. Michael Turner is a strong bet for 300...
Fantasy Take:
Expect Turner to be a solid #2 fantasy back with Norwood having the potential to be a good spot starter or #3 type in certain matchups.

The Atlanta Falcons WR Joe Horn has requested to be traded from the Falcons. Horn, who has been removed from the starting lineup in favor of Laurent Robinson, says he doesn't want to be a "just-in-case guy" for Atlanta.
Fantasy Take:
Horn is another WR who things more highly of himself at this stage of his career than he's worth. At this point in his career, he doesn't have much fantasy value.
