Cardinals | Andy Isabella lacking versatility?

| Footballguys view: Hunt will be there from Week 1 this season, so Fantasy GMs need to make an adjustment to the expectations for Chubb. He's still a RB1, but Hunt can perform well enough to be a low-end RB2 in PPR leagues. |

Pittsburgh Steelers RB James Conner broke a tackle once only every 23.2 rush attempts last season. In 2018, he broke a tackle once every 10.8 carries.
| Footballguys view: We'll see if Conner can play more like he did in 2018 coming up this season. The Steelers offense as a whole should be better and more wide open with the return of a healthy QB Ben Roethlisberger. |

Baltimore Ravens RB Gus Edwards averaged 2.5 yards per carry before contact and 2.8 yards per carry after contact in 2019, slightly outperforming starter and backfield teammate Mark Ingram (2.4 and 2.6, respectively) in each category.
| Footballguys view: The Ravens have a helluva 1-2 punch with Ingram and Edwards. We should see a similar RBBC in 2020, and plenty of power for opposing defenses lined up to stop them. |

Dolphins | DeVante Parker got down the field in 2019
Miami Dolphins WR DeVante Parker finished third in the league with 939 yards before the catch last season, while his 13 yards before catch per reception was good for sixth among qualified players.
| Footballguys view: Parker has flourished for the Dolphins and showed that their faith in him finally paid off. We'll see how long QB Ryan Fitzpatrick keeps tossing the rock for the Dolphins. They'll be in line for a top-tier rookie quarterback like Tua Tagovailoa (Alabama) in the first round of the 2020 NFL draft. |

| Footballguys view: The Patriots don't care about your fantasy stock in Michel. He's a talented back, but so long as the team continues to use a three-headed RBBC, Michel's fantasy value will be held down. |

Seahawks | Jaron Brown unlikely to re-sign
Free-agent WR Jaron Brown (Seahawks) likely will not re-sign with the Seattle Seahawks this offseason since the Seahawks signed WR Phillip Dorsett earlier in the offseason.
| Footballguys view: Brown has been catching passes in the league since 2013, and the big-bodied veteran is going to have to find somewhere else to play this season. He's a backup caliber receiver and is no lock for any 53-man roster for whatever team signs him. |

Chiefs | KC interested in J.K. Dobbins
Ohio State RB J.K. Dobbins recently had a video meeting with the Kansas City Chiefs.
| Footballguys view: Adding a talent like Dobbins to the roster would just be unfair. Dobbins is one of the best running backs in this class because of his all-purpose skill set. He can be used effectively as a runner and is one of the best receiving backs in this class. Dobbins should be a late first-round pick in the 2020 NFL draft. |
Cowboys | Dallas talks with Jalen Hurts
Oklahoma QB Jalen Hurts recently had a video meeting with the Dallas Cowboys.
| Footballguys view: The Cowboys could be looking for an upgrade behind Dak Prescott. Hurts has starter's ability but he might take a year or two before he could see the field. He reminds our very own Matt Waldman of former Jaguars starter David Garrard, and Hurts has a great work ethic to go along with his athletic skill set. |
Jets | Retirement not an option for Quincy Enunwa
New York Jets WR Quincy Enunwa (neck) is not considering retirement even though he is recovering from a neck injury.
| Footballguys view: We'll see if Enunwa can resume his pro career after this scary neck injury. He is scheduled to receive $10.1 million in guaranteed money over the next two seasons. |

Patriots | James Morgan talks with Pats
Florida International QB James Morgan recently had a video meeting with the New England Patriots, according to sources.
| Footballguys view: Morgan can best be described as a tough guy with a rocket arm. His footwork and accuracy are big issues and need to be worked on if he's ever going to be anything more than a backup in the NFL. He'll likely be a late-round pick in the 2020 NFL draft. |
