Los Angeles Chargers WR Keenan Allen may see more snaps from the slot this year due to TE Hunter Henry (knee) being out for the season. General manager Tom Telesco said the Chargers need to adapt and move on without Henry. Part of that adaptation will be implementing more three-wide receiver sets. In such scenarios, WRs Mike Williams and Tyrell Williams would likely line up on the outside with WR Keenan Allen in the slot, according to ESPN.com's Eric Williams.

Miami Dolphins WR DeVante Parker has been performing well in OTAs, according to wide receivers coach Ben Johnson, but Johnson said he and the other coaches won't be making 'giant claims about him' like last offseason.

Don’t forget: David Johnson became the 28th back since 2000 to have over 2,000 yards from scrimmage just one year ago while his 407.8 PPR points were eighth-most in a single-season in this span. Johnson’s 120 targets were eighth-most in a single-season for a running back since target tracking began (in 1992). The Arizona Cardinals have 243 targets available (41% share), fourth-most among all teams. Last year at UCLA, rookie QB Josh Rosen completed 55.6% of his throws under pressure (second-best in the QB class) and his adjusted completion percentage (for drops and throwaways) was 78.5%, also second-best in class. (Bonus!): Over the past three combined seasons, Larry Fitzgerald is the WR7 in FPG (16.4).

Last season, Davante Adams averaged 15.5 FPG (WR11) with Aaron Rodgers and 16.3 FPG (WR6) without him. Davante Adams saw 35% of the Packers’ red-zone targets in 2017, tying Jimmy Graham for the highest rate in the league.

Oh, so this is the year for DeVante Parker? I have a sneaky feeling that Parker, Cordarrelle Patterson, Justin Hunter, Jared Cook, and Tavon Austin all break out this year.

According to the Palm Beach Post, "Dolphins coaches say few if any players have spent more time in the building than (DeVante) Parker since last season ended."


He will be a popular breakout again. Pretty much a lost season w/o Tannehill

Speaking of Tannehill, I kinda giggled at this but then kinda got to thinking

that's crazy man.

the big difference I look at in those numbers is the number of times sacked.

Drew Brees a cool 102 times less sacked.

I think parker will end up going higher than his numbers should simply because there aren't alot of guys with his talent that could break out, influx of talent at the position has been meh since that 2014 class

Parker is an interesting guy going into the year. Jarvis is gone and Amendola replaces him, so not sure how that will play out. If he (and Tennehill) can stay healthy, he is a potential solid WR2. He (and that offense) could also be a complete bust

What kind of role will Kenneth Dixon have this year.

Remember hes a 4th round pick, the staff still likes him.

They invested nothing with Collins.

You think Dixon could carve out almost a Woodhead type roll in this offense?

It'll cost you nothing to draft him.
