Seahawks | Zac Brooks full go

Seattle Seahawks RB Zac Brooks (undisclosed) appeared to be full healthy Tuesday, June 28, despite being limited with an undisclosed injury at times this offseason.

Footballguys View: Brooks is an explosive player who can quickly get to top speed. The seventh-round pick will be in the mix for a reserve spot on the roster and will likely have to contribute on special teams to make the 53-man squad. Brooks is not creative as a runner and his best features come through as a receiver out of the backfield.

Seahawks | Nick Vannett a pleasant surprise

Seattle Seahawks rookie TE Nick Vannett has exceeded expectations so far in his first offseason. Head coach Pete Carroll said Vannett is a natural pass-catcher despite being billed as more of a blocking tight end. ‘He shows the savvy and instincts that you hope a guy has,’ Carroll said, adding that QB Russell Wilson has really clicked with Vannett.

Cowboys | Ezekiel Elliott could see big workload

Dallas Cowboys rookie RB Ezekiel Elliott could receive 280 to 300 carries in his rookie season, in the opinion of David Helman of dallascowboys.com.

Footballguys View: That numbers should make fantasy owners drool. The rookie RB has the upside to be one of the best in the game, and Elliott should make an immediate (and huge) impact in the NFL. The only RB to get 300 carries last year was Adrian Peterson (Vikings), and the next closest starter was Doug Martin (Buccaneers) at 288 carries. Elliott will be the centerpiece of the Cowboys offense in 2016, and he could easily finish the year as a top-5 fantasy RB. His current ADP is RB6 (2.03) in 12-team PPR leagues.

Patriots | Danny Amendola feeling good

New England Patriots WR Danny Amendola (ankle, knee) said he feels really good after undergoing two minor procedures this offseason.

Footballguys View: There’s no word on whether or not Amendola will be ready to go by the start of training camp, but this report seems to indicate that he will. He played through about half of last year with a knee problem and was able to snare 65 catches for 648 yards and three touchdowns. Other targets could emerge behind TE Rob Gronkowski and WR Julian Edelman this season, and thus Amendola is mostly just a player for the waiver-wire speed dial for fantasy owners.
