H Nicks (NYG)

Hakeem Nicks Is Feeling Great
New York wideout Hakeem Nicks, who had a knee scope earlier this offseason, told Ralph Vacchiano he's "feeling as good as I've felt in awhile."

Fantasy Spin:
That's great news for Nicks' fantasy owners and Eli Manning owners too. A healthy Nicks is a top-10 fantasy receiver. Now if the Giants can just get the Victor Cruz situation under control they can have one of the league's best passing offenses.

S Johnson (BUF)

Stevie Johnson Cleared For OTAs
Bills No. 1 wideout Stevie Johnson has been cleared to participate in the team's OTAs. He has been struggling with a lingering back issue for a month.

Fantasy Spin:
Johnson has posted three consecutove seasons with 1,000 yards or more and averaged seven touchdowns per season. With new quarterbacks on the roster (Kevin Kolb, E.J. Manuel) it's important for Johnson and the receiving corp to get in as much work as possible.

T Romo (DAL)

Tony Romo Will Miss OTAs While Recovering
Cowboys QB Tony Romo will miss OTAs after having a cyst removed from his back last month.

Fantasy Spin:
This should have no effect on his fantasy value. He'll be ready for training camp and the regular season. Romo finished third in the NFL last season with a career-high 4,903 yards and has thrown at least 26 touchdown passes over his last five healthy seasons. Fantasy owners would like a reduction in interceptions (19 last season including three games of three or more).

Rob Gronkowski Undergoes Successful Surgery

Fantasy Spin:
The good news is that the infection has subsided, which means that this will probably be the last procedure Gronkowski will need on his injured forearm. Now the attention shifts to Gronkowski's back, which might also require surgery. A Week 1 return is still possible for Gronk but it's probably going to go right down to the wire.

W McGahee (DEN)

Denver Broncos: Willis McGahee Absent From OTAs
Broncos running back Willis McGahee is apparently healthy, but didn't show for Monday's start of OTAs.

Fantasy Spin:
McGahee (broken leg, torn MCL) progress back from the injury and his relationship or lack of one with the team will go a long way in determining rookie Montee Ball's fantasy value.

Freeman In Trouble Of Losing Starting Gig?
According to the National Football Post, Buccaneers coach Greg Schiano thought Mike Glennon was the best quarterback in the 2013 NFL Draft and said he "can play quickly" if he is needed.

Fantasy Spin:
Tampa Bay drafted Glennon in the third round. The team did not give Josh Freeman a long-term extension this offseason, so we already know it isn't sold on him as the long-term answer at QB. Glennon could force the issue with a strong summer and preseason, much like Russell Wilson, the man he succeeded at NC State, did with Seattle last year.

R Gronkowski (NEP)

Gronk May Also Need Back Surgery
More bad news for Rob Gronkowski fantasy owners. Not only does the Patriots tight end need arm surgery but it also looks like he'll need surgery on his back. SOURCE: ESPN

Fantasy Spin:
The Patriots are still optimistic that Gronk will be ready for Week 1 but given what's already unfolded this offseason, that's no guarantee. Danny Amendola and Aaron Hernandez will both see more targets if Gronkowski ends up missing time in the regular season.

R Bush (DET)

Reggie Bush Compares Lions To Former Saints Team
Lions running back Reggie Bush says the Detroit offense is similar to the Saints team he played with from 2006-10, according to a ProFootballTalk report.

Fantasy Spin:
Bush is an excellent pass receiver and should fit in well with a team that passed 740 times in 2012 (46.2 per game). He's also was able to stay on the field over the past two season which made him a viable fansty asset. With a current fantasyfootballcalculator.com ADP of 24.3, fantasy owners seem to like his move to Detroit. He had an ADP of 47.7 last summer.

M Goodson (NYJ)

Mike Goodson Arrested
Newjersey.news12.com is reporting that Jets running back Mike Goodson was arrested early Friday morning on drug possession and weapons charges.

Fantasy Spin:
Goodson is in the mix with Chris Ivory, Bilal Powell and Joe McKnight to be the starting tailback. This problem could certainly make it tougher to win the spot for the former Oakland Raiders running back.

R Gronkowski (NEP)

Gronkowski Will Undergo Fourth Arm Surgery
NFL.com is reporting that New England tight end Rob Gronkowski will have a fourth surgery on his injured forearm.

Fantasy Spin:
Gronkowski will probably need about ten weeks to recover. He'll almost certainly miss the beginning of training camp and it's possible he might not be ready for the Pats' season opener September 8th against Buffalo.

C Johnson (FA)

Warrant Issued For Chad Johnson
A warrant has been issued for Chad Johnson's arrest. SOURCE: TMZ.com

Fantasy Spin:
Supposedly Johnson missed a meeting with his probation officer and now he could be facing jail time. We're guessing Ochocinco has played his final game in the NFL.
07:31 PM
J Cribbs (OAK)

Joshua Cribbs Joins Oakland Raiders
Former Browns receiver/return specialist Josh Cribbs has signed with the Oakland Raiders.

Fantasy Spin:
Cribbs continues to be an excellent kick returner but he's never offered fantasy owners much in the receiving game. You shouldn't worry about him on draft day.
01:46 PM
J Webb (MIN)

Joe Webb Moving To Wide Receiver For 2013
The Vikings have decided to shift Joe Webb from QB to full-time receiver, according to the Star Tribune.

Fantasy Spin:
Webb was thrown into the fire in January when Christian Ponder couldn't start Minnesota's playoff game against the Packers due to an elbow injury. Webb completed just 11-of-30 in the game and the Vikings lost 24-10. Minnesota signed Matt Cassel to back up Ponder this season. With Greg Jennings, Jerome Simpson, Jarius Wright and rookie first-rounder Cordarrelle Patterson ahead of him on the depth chart and the Vikings using a run-first offense, Webb won't have any fantasy value.

M Floyd (ARI)

Arizona Cardinals: Michael Floyd Working as No. 2 WR in OTAs
Cardinals receiver Michael Floyd has been running ahead of Andre Roberts so far in OTAs, according to the Arizona Republic.

Fantasy Spin:
Floyd was taken 13th overall by the Cardinals in the 2012 NFL Draft but was behind Roberts for most of the season. He did have eight catches for 166 yards and a touchdown in Week 17 to finish with 45 receptions, 562 yards and two scores in his rookie year. With Bruce Arians' vertical offense in place and Carson Palmer under center, it should be a bounce-back year for Arizona's passing attack.
05:12 PM
D Garrard (NYJ)

David Garrard Decides To Retire
David Garrard has decided to retire due to a lingering knee injury, according to Adam Schein of SNY and NFL.com.

Fantasy Spin:
Garrard hasn't appeared in an NFL game since 2010. His retirement means that Mark Sanchez only has to beat out rookie Geno Smith to be the Jets' starting quarterback again.
