LaDainian Tomlinson

Although he won't predict a number, Vikings running back Adrian Peterson is confident that his carry total will be high in the upcoming season.

Fantasy Impact: 

He’s coming off of a #6 finish (and groin surgery); it’s the second time in three seasons that he has finished outside of the top 5. He turns 29 in March and while he should continue to be very productive when healthy, one wonders if his 2,241 touches are starting to catch up to him. Along with his sheer talent, there is another reason to be excited about AP’s upside in 2014 — the arrival of OC Norv Turner, who knows what he’s doing on that side of the ball. Turner emphasized that he wants to get Peterson the ball in space, and that means more receptions. Peterson has only averaged 2.0 catches in his career, and has been curiously underutilized in the passing game since day one. He's not quite the natural receiver as LaDainian Tomlinson was, but as a Turner-RB comparison, Tomlinson averaged 2.9 catches in three seasons under Norv Turner.

Schefter: 'Still optimism' that Rob Gronkowski will play Week 1

Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski still not cleared for contact. Would be surprising to see him play this preseason. Still optimism for opener.

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). He will be eight months into his recovery when Week 1 rolls around. Given the news that he avoided preseason PUP, Gronkowski is tentatively expected to be ready for the start of the season, and his return would be a big boost to Tom Brady and the entire New England offense. Another report pegged Gronk's chances of playing Week 1 at 50/50. When we add in replacement level value from a backup TE, Gronkowski holds 2nd round value in fantasy drafts.

Adrian Peterson
Minnesota Vikings

Coming to the Vikings as a third-round pick out of Georgia Southern, Jerick McKinnon was billed by many observers to be an offensive wild card and a scat-back type of offensive contributor. That billing wasn’t an accurate characterization of the type of player McKinnon will be in Minnesota.

“Jerick (McKinnon) is doing a nice job,” Vikings Offensive Coordinator Norv Turner said. “I think you can all see him when he gets the ball out in space he can really go and he has done a good job running the ball inside.”

The inside running ability has indeed been impressive. He scored two touchdowns in a goal line period during the Vikings first evening practice and consistently displays good vision when approaching the line and choosing a hole through which to dart. His outside running ability has been as good as advertised and he’s as smooth a catcher of the ball as you’ll see in Vikings camp.

Fantasy Impact: 

He isn't going to eat into Adrian Peterson's touches, but he might be the biggest beneficiary if Peterson misses any time due to injury. With Toby Gerhart in Jacksonville, the RB2 job in Minnesota is up for grabs.

Packers Beat: Eddie Lacy 'couldn't have looked any better'

Training camp is almost a week old. Packers RB Eddie Lacy couldn't have looked any better. Last weekend, Lacy was catching point-blank passes from position coach Sam Gash along the sidelines during a break in practice. He dropped one. Other than that, you'd be hard-pressed to find another subpar moment for the Packers' bread-and-butter back.

Fantasy Impact: 

Lacy finished as the #7 RB in his rookie season and did it in essentially 14 games. Removing Week 2 (where he was concussed and only carried the ball once), Lacy averaged 14.9 fantasy points, which is the 6th-best average, just behind Adrian Peterson. He is a great talent and plays in a potent offense that should be even better in 2014 with a (hopefully) healthy Aaron Rodgers under center.
