John Keim, from ESPN.com, reports that both Rob Kelley and rookie Samaje Perine will lead a solid rushing attack for Washington in 2017. In their last two home games of 2016, Washington faced Carolina (ninth in yards per attempt) and the New York Giants (second). They managed a combined 67 yards on 28 carries. They just weren’t good enough versus top run defenses and that could change this season.

Footballguys View: Fantasy owners need to monitor this situation in training camp. Both backs will be used, and Washington should also use Chris Thompson as a receiving back. Kelley wore down as the season went on last year, while Perine is a powerful rookie who reminds everyone of Michael Turner (Falcons). Right now, Perine (RB36) and Kelley (RB41) have virtually identical ADPs in 12-team PPR leagues.

Bonnie Watt, from Bucs Wire/USA Today, believes quarterback Jameis Winston is destined to make a big leap in 2017. Winston has thrown for over 4,000 yards in each of the last two years, the first quarterback in NFL history to do so. The Bucs added quality weapons to the passing game this offseason, and the passing game could be incredibly healthy this season.

Footballguys View: Winston could post MVP-type numbers in 2017. He’s that good, and the Bucs certainly have a formidable group of weapons around him. From a fantasy perspective, Winston is a QB1 sitting at QB11 (9.04) in 12-team PPR leagues.

Kyle Silagyi, of Billswire/USA Today, reports Buffalo Bills rookie wide receiver Zay Jones has high praise for the offense. In a recent Facebook Live chat, Jones said “I would say ‘explosive,’ with all the weapons that we have right now, with Tyrod, Sammy, and [LeSean] Shady [McCoy] especially. Also ‘dominant,’ with our O-line and the running game that we have.”

Dave Birkett, of the Detroit Free Press, reports the Detroit Lions are relying on both Zach Zenner and Dwayne Washington in their running back rotation. Ameer Abdullah is the team’s starter, and Theo Riddick should continue as a primary receiving weapon out of the backfield. However, Zenner and Washington both showed promise in limited reps last year.
