Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB Doug Martin, as an update to previous reports, is looking the part of a primary running back. Not only is he seeing the large majority of the first-team snaps, he is also staying on the field for third-down/pass-protection snaps. Pass-protection work is an area Martin’s competition, LeGarrette Blount, has previously struggled. Martin, a rookie first-round draft choice, has shown a quick burst at the line of scrimmage, is hitting holes decisively and using his speed to make defenders miss once he hits the second layer of a defense.

Raiders | Denarius Moore to practice
Oakland Raiders head coach Dennis Allen said WR Denarius Moore (hamstring) will be able to practice Monday, July 29. Moore missed some offseason workouts because of a hamstring injury.
Our View: Moore is a key piece of the Raiders passing game, and building chemistry with QB Carson Palmer is a must. We like Moore as a high upside WR3/flex play for your fantasy team.

Dolphins | Ryan Tannehill thinks he has chance for starting job
Miami Dolphins QB Ryan Tannehill said he believes he still has a chance to win the starting job during training camp. ‘I feel like I’m in it,’ Tannehill said. ‘I may be naive, but the coaches haven’t given me any indication that I’m not so I’m going to go out there every day and do my best to win the job.’
Our View: Tannehill may take over as the starter at some point during the season, but we don’t think he’ll start from week one. At this time it seems like David Garrard has the advantage over Tannehill and Matt Moore.
