New York Giants WR Rueben Randle became QB Eli Manning’s primary target during the absences of WRs Hakeem Nicks and Victor Cruz, who’s still not at camp because of contract discussions. ‘His whole demeanor, his whole professionalism was outstanding,’ offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride said of Randle. ‘Not only did he grow, he kind of became the bell cow of the receiving corps. … Oh, he’s gonna play. He’s gonna play a lot [in 2013].’ Randle’s versatility in where to line up should help his playing time.

Jaguars | Mike Kafka has chance to win QB job
Jacksonville Jaguars general manager Dave Caldwell said Mike Kafka has ‘just as good an opportunity’ to win the starting QB jon as Blaine Gabbert, Chad Henne or undrafted rookie Matt Scott. Caldwell had considered signing Kafka earlier in the offseason. The New England Patriots signed him but cut Kafka when they signed Tim Tebow.
Our View: That tells you a lot about the state of the QBs in Jacksonville. Gabbert is in a make or break year yet all we’re hearing is about how bad he looks at OTAs. We’ll see how this QB competition plays out in training camp. We won’t be surprised to see Chad Henne open the year as the starter for the Jaguars.

Chargers | Robert Meachem has some hope to improve
San Diego Chargers WR Robert Meachem is still buried on the depth chart, but this new offense gives him a shot to produce more than he did last year.
Our View: Meachem was a disappointment (along with Eddie Royal) as a free agent addition last year. He’s always been inconsistent during his pro career and that didn’t change in 2012. The new system may be more friendly but we’re not counting on him to make much of a fantasy impact behind Danario Alexander, Vincent Brown, Eddie Royal, and Malcom Floyd.
