5. Hasselbeck, Matt QB SEA looks good

He's having the best off-season of his career. Apparently, Charlie Whitehurst isn't breathing down his neck as much as we thought. Still, Seattle is not a good team, and Hasselbeck could easily end up getting pounded. Still, it looks like you can roll the dice with him late in 2-QB leagues or as a fantasy QB 3 with upside.

4. Washington, Leon RB SEA looks good

He is healing well. Do realize that if he's all the way back, or almost all the way back, he could still move ahead of Justin Forsett on the depth chart. So knock Forsett down a little and bump up Washington a bit on your RB list.

3. Spiller, C.J. RB BUF looks good

Spiller should split time fairly evenly with Fred Jackson but will also often be on the field as a receiver with Jackson in the backfield. He could pay serious dividends as a mid-round pick in PPR leagues.

2. Westbrook, Brian RB FA is working out

Westbrook could still be useful in PPR leagues as a third-down, receiving back on some NFL team. Don't forget about him on draft day.

1. Naanee, Legadu WR SD will start

With Vincent Jackson out, Malcom Floyd is the receiver who should get bumped up on your WR list, but Naanee will see more targets as well. If he does well in the pre-season, hes should make it onto your watch list if you decide you have a slot open in a deep league after Week 1 of the regular season.

ALSO

Terrell Owens WR (BUF) is intent on playing this season, so don't forget about him if he isn't signed yet. San Diego could use help if Vincent Jackson misses significant time. Other teams are potentially interested. T.O. could end up being a draft day bargain... Sidney Rice WR MIN is downplaying his hip injury. As of now, draft him as you usually would... Bobby Engram WR signed with CLE. He reunites with Mike Holmgren. He could step in and be useful in deep PPR leagues should Massaquoi or Robiskie get hurt. He could also catch many passes while playing the slot, anyway. Howrver, he's not to be drafted in fantasy drafts... Dwayne Bowe WR KC is attending Larry Fitzgerald's WR camp. Maybe this will motivate Bowe. We shall see.
