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.

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.

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.

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.
01:45 PM
V Ballard (IND)

Vick Ballard Early Favorite at Running Back For Colts
Colts coach Chuck Pagano said running back Vick Ballard was the "lead guy" in the backfield, according to Paul Kuharsky of ESPN.

Fantasy Spin:
With Brown hurting, Ballard rushed for 814 yards and two rushing touchdowns and caught 17 balls for 152 yards last season. We expect that if Brown is healthy he'll get a good portion of the workload, but for now Ballard is the No. 1 option.

M Jones-Drew (JAX)

Maurice Jones-Drew On Schedule For Return
Jacksonville running back Maurice Jones-Drew says he is still on schedule for his return to the field after Lisfranc surgery, although his current ability is limited to a 30-yard run at three-quarters speed, according to a Josh Alper report.

Fantasy Spin:
Jones-Drew underwent foot surgery in December. If all goes well he'll be ready for Opening Day, but that's far from a sure thing at this point. MJD is capable for putting up big numbers, but only if he is healthy.
01:41 PM
F Jones (PHI)

Felix Jones Lands in Philadelphia
Running back Felix Jones signed a one-year deal with the Philadelphia Eagles.

Fantasy Spin:
Barring an injury to starter LeSean McCoy, Jones and Bryce Brown figure to have a limited upside for the upcoming season. The only good news for Jones fans is that new coach, Chip Kelly, while playing at an up tempo, prefers to run the ball first and pass second.

Giovani Bernard Working Extensively On Catching Passes in OTAs
Bengals' second round draft choice Giovani Bernard (No. 37 overall) was seen catching a steady stream of passes out of the backfield at the team's OTA.

Fantasy Spin:
Bernard should be Cincinnati's change-of-pass and third-down back and get between 8-10 touches a game behind starter BenJarvus Green-Ellis.

M Vick (PHI)

Matt Barkley Could Win Starting QB Job with Eagles
A Philadelphia Inquirer report indicates that Matt Barkley could be the Eagles' Week 1 starter at quarterback.

Fantasy Spin:
The other candidates are Mike Vick and Nick Foles. Barkley fell all the way to the fourth round at the draft last month after entering the 2012 season as a possible No. 1 pick. This report sounds a little ambitious but anything's possible with the Eagles.

T Young (FA)

Titus Young Adds Third Arrest To Rap Sheet
Free agent wideout Titus Young, who was arrested twice in a 15-hour span last weekend, has added more lines to his arrest record. According to Lions beat writer Josh Katzenstein, Young was charged with burglary, assaulting a police officer and resisting arrest on Friday night.

Fantasy Spin:
Young's downward spiral continues. What a waste of talent.
