The story went on to say Foreman will continue rehabbing his torn Achilles in Houston until camp and says he’s “not trying to rush anything” as he works with the medical staff to figure out the best plan for getting him back to the player he was before the injury. Hitting that mark is “looking really good right now,” but Foreman isn’t sure he’ll get there before the start of the regular season.

Carroll was quoted as saying they are just making sure Marshall doesn't have a setback, but as the story pointed out, Marshall missed most of last season with an ankle injury and had toe surgery to repair a lingering problem during his ankle recovery.

Jones had a quiet rookie season dealing with a shoulder injury. As the story pointed out, it's not an overwhelming list of WRs, so Jones certainly has a chance to make his mark and earn a key role in the offense.

Seattle spent a first-round pick on RB Rashaad Penny, and it's universally accepted that you cannot truly evaluate RBs until they are in full pads in training camp and the preseason. It's hard to imagine Penny doesn't get a sizable portion of the backfield touches in this offense, given the draft capital spent on him. Carroll has also praised Penny's pass protection, crucial given how bad the offensive line has been. However, this at least puts Carson on our radar as a late-round flier in drafts if Penny struggles. He's a name to monitor this preseason.

Our projections currently have Lewis at 180 carries and 44 receptions, 51 percent of the touches projected between Henry and him. Last season, Henry saw 187 touches. So even though our projection for him is only 49 percent of the touches between Lewis and him, it is still a total of 209 touches, an increase from last season. We expect Lewis to get the bulk of the receptions out of this backfield, making him more valuable in PPR formats. Also working in the Titans' backfield's favor, the entire starting offensive line returns from last season.

Nothing like a good "source familiar with his plans" to cloudy up Beckham's clear-cut statement. Regardless, Beckham remains an elite fantasy WR option, who is a big-time value when he slips into the top of the second round.

It was once thought that the converted wide receiver would return to his original position with Jamaal Williams and Aaron Jones both impressing as rookies in 2017. That does not appear to be the case, as the veteran Montgomery is in line for a significant role for 2018.

Playing with Aaron Rodgers in the no-huddle and two-minute offenses would net Montgomery plenty of receptions, and therefore, PPR value. He is currently the No. 46 running back off the board in fantasy drafts.

Pryor enjoyed a breakout season in 2016 with over 1,000 yards and a top-24 PPR finish, but he was unproductive in 2017 in Washington before suffering an ankle injury. If he can get healthy and back in form, he would be a welcomed addition to a lackluster Jets receiving corps. Pryor is currently the No. 71 wide receiver off the board.

After missing all of 2016 for his second infraction of the substance-abuse policy, this would likely be another lengthy suspension for the mercurial wideout. It would be wise to avoid Bryant in fantasy drafts until we receive more information on his situation.

This would explain why Seattle was okay with letting Paul Richardson go in free agency, and bringing in only the aged Brandon Marshall to replace him. Lockett was a force to be reckoned with to start his career as a receiver and returner, but took a step back in 2017. If he is truly fully healthy, he should be a steal as the No. 59 wide receiver off the board in fantasy drafts.

Marlon Mack and Nyheim Hines are currently the only running backs being drafted from the Colts in fantasy drafts, but it appears as though Turbin could make some noise as a between-the-tackles grinder with touchdown upside, particularly if Andrew Luck is healthy and ready to go Week 1. Keep him on your watch lists as the offseason progresses.

While the Jets selected Darnold third overall, it appears they are willing to let the rookie develop before thrusting him into the starting lineup. The veteran McCown is still the favorite to open the year as the Jets starter.

The Pro Bowl left tackle is a critical member of Washington's offensive line. He should be in the lineup and ready to protect Alex Smith's blind side on Opening Day.

T.Y. Hilton is a lock as the team's top wide receiver, but the second spot is wide open in a passing game that looks even more appealing with Andrew Luck on the mend. The sixth-rounder Cain will compete with veterans Chester Rogers and Ryan Grant, as well as fellow rookie Daurice Fountain (fifth round).

A move like this was to be expected for New Orleans, who will open the season without Mark Ingram for the first four games. West is expected to fill his role in some capacity, which means that Alvin Kamara may not see a tremendous increase in usage during Ingram's suspension. This is something that head coach Sean Payton has hinted at all along. This won't stop Kamara from being a bona fide first-round lock in PPR leagues, but West could have some real value to start 2018. Ingram was the No. 7 running back in PPR points per game in 2017.
