Updating previous reports, the camp for New England Patriots QB Tom Brady believes an appeal decision could come this week, according to a source with knowledge of the situation. Brady appealed a four-game suspension ruling for his involvement in deflating footballs last postseason.

He currently sits with a four-game suspension, but many people are expecting a reduction. If there's no elimination of the suspension, then expect Brady's legal team to get further involved with litigation.

CAR - QB Cam Newton a force on the ground

Carolina Panthers QB Cam Newton's 33 rushing touchdowns over the last four years are the most by any quarterback during that span.

Newton is continuing to develop as a passer, but he's known as a fantasy force because of what he can do on the ground. The Panthers put better weapons around Newton this offseason, so the Carolina passing attack should be more potent in 2015. Newton should be a low-end QB1 for fantasy owners each week.

NO - TE Jermaine Gresham has offer from NO
Source: ESPN.com - Mike Triplett
Free-agent TE Jermaine Gresham (Bengals) was offered a contract by the New Orleans Saints after visiting in June. He has other visits planned over the next two weeks and is expected to decide on a team before training camp begins.

We'll see if the veteran tight end accepts. The Saints have always seemed like the frontrunner for Gresham's services. If signed, this would lower the value (and the sleeper status) of Josh Hill. Stay tuned.

JAX - RB T.J. Yeldon picking up offense
Source: The Florida Times-Union - Ryan O'Halloran
Jacksonville Jaguars RB T.J. Yeldon has picked up the offense at a fast rate this offseason, according to running backs coach Kelly Skipper. 'The impressive thing about T.J. is that he picked up the offense quickly,' Skipper said. 'For the most part, when he gets something, he has it [down] and we can move onto the next thing.'
[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
We're excited about the rookie running back from Alabama this year. Yeldon is a big back, but he's not your traditional power back. He does run with some build-up power when he gets a head of steam, but Yeldon is a bit niftier as a runner than most men his size. He'll be the lead back for the Jaguars this year and could be a nice RB3 with RB2 upside for fantasy owners.

WAS - WR DeSean Jackson the best at big plays?
Source: NFL.com - Bucky Brooks
Washington Redskins WR DeSean Jackson has 48 catches of 40-plus yards over seven seasons, and he led the NFL with 13 such catches in 2014.
[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
Jackson is a fantastic deep threat who can fly down the field and get by defenders while tracking the pass over his shoulder. In Washington's offense, Jackson has the potential to finish as a top-20 fantasy receiver. Right now, Jackson has an ADP of WR28 (6.04) in 12-team PPR leagues.
