Eddy Lacy trained 'as a three-down back'

The Packers have groomed RB Eddie Lacy to play in every situation this season. Largely because of pass-protection and overuse issues, Lacy was removed in some passing and two-minute situations.

"That's coach's call," Gash said, referring to how Mike McCarthy intends to use Lacy. "But I have trained him as a three-down back. He will be ready to go."

Fantasy Impact: 

Great news for potential and current Lacy owners. He looks to be a real steal the later he slips after the top-three of Jamaal Charles, Adrian Peterson and LeSean McCoy come off the board. If you really want to take a RB in the middle of the first round, Lacy could be your guy...

Vikings Offensive Coordinator Norv Turner is one of the longest-tenured and most creative playcallers in the NFL. The Vikings opened up their offense a little more in the second preseason game than they did in the first. Will the third game see even more Turner aggressiveness? Tight end Kyle Rudolph has looked reinvigorated in Turner’s scheme, coming off an injury, and second-year pro Cordarrelle Patterson appears to be taking an increased role in the offense.

Fantasy Impact: 

Rudolph and Patterson are both intriguing picks at their current ADPs, but with all the mouths to feed (including Adrian Peterson and Greg Jennings), will the offense be productive enough under QB Matt Cassel? If so, Cassel will be a sleeper QB2/streamer type if he can hold onto the job.

Yes, Jerick McKinnon is just a rookie and yes he plays the same position as Adrian Peterson, the best running back in the NFL. Even still, McKinnon looks to be a player who will contribute to the Vikings offense immediately. He was billed as a scat-back type who could contribute on 3rd downs as a receiver, and that is true, he can do that. But he has also displayed some inside running ability and the ability to perform on special teams in a variety of capacities. The Vikings found a gem in the 3rd round with McKinnon.

Fantasy Impact: 

It's not clear who the proper handcuff is for Peterson owners. Most likely, the team would committee Matt Asiata with McKinnon if something were to happen to Peterson.

Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski still has a 'decent but not terrible limp'

After visiting Patriots camp, Greg Bedard of The MMQB notes that TE Rob Gronkowski was "favoring his right knee" and ran with a "decent but not terrible limp."

Even with a hitch in his gait, Gronk can be one of the league's most productive tight ends. But is it worth the risk to rush back before his body is ready?

Breer still believes Gronkowski will play in Week 1 but concedes the decision will likely go "down to the wire."

Fantasy Impact: 

Gronkowski has been hugely productive when healthy, but his health is still a concern heading into the 2014 season. He reportedly had surgery on Jan. 9 to reconstruct a torn ACL. It typically takes a full year to recover, though Adrian Peterson and Robert Griffin III have made quicker returns (with varying success). Given the news that he avoided preseason PUP, Gronkowski is tentatively expected to be ready for the start of the season, but this report of a 'decent' limp is not encouraging.
