Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Mike Mularkey said TE Marcedes Lewis has to get in better shape. ‘When you don’t train here in the heat, he lives out in California, and it’s going to take him a little bit to acclimate to this kind of weather,’ Mularkey said.
Our View: Lewis has some factors in the offense (like overall effectiveness) working against him, and now apparently, his own offseason conditioning. He is barely getting drafted, if at all, and it looks like that is the correct approach to Lewis in fantasy leagues after his career year in 2010.

Jacksonville Jaguars WR Laurent Robinson continues to struggle in training camp as he is still dropping passes.
Our View: The whole Jaguars offense has come out of the docks like a sinking ship. There’s plenty of time to get things on track, but so far, so bad.

Houston Texans RB Arian Foster said the team is behind his new Vegan diet and believes the regimen will help him. ‘I didn’t just blindly stop eating meat. I know what I’m doing,’ Foster said. ‘There’s nothing to talk about in the offseason – that’s why (my tweet) got so much attention. Nobody asked what I ate last year … It’s just the flavor of the week. You’ll forget about it in a month.’
Our View: In Foster we trust. If you get him at the number three pick, consider yourself lucky.

New York Giants SS Kenny Phillips said he is hoping to play more around the ball this season and make more plays.
Our View: Phillips should be back to the player he was before his microfracture surgery in 2009. He is a value late in IDP leagues.
