New York Giants

Projections
Paul Perkins: 852 rush yards, 4 rush TDs, 26 rec, 220 rec yards, 1 rec TDs, 135.2 fantasy points
Shane Vereen: 256 rush yards, 1 rush TDs, 44 rec, 396 rec yards, 2 rec TDs, 81.2 fantasy points

The Giants have run the football on 39.4 percent of their offensive plays in Ben McAdoo's first three seasons as head coach or offensive coordinator. In that time, no running back had finished better than 20th in fantasy points (Rashad Jennings, 2015) at the position. ... Over his final five games of last season, projected starter Paul Perkins averaged 14 carries and 4.5 yards per attempt. He'll be a popular fantasy sleeper in 2017 fantasy drafts. ... Shane Vereen will be used in passing situations, making him a potential late-round target in PPR formats. ... The Giants ranked 29th in red-zone targets for runners, and their offensive line finished a mere 29th in yards before contact.

New York Jets

Projections
Bilal Powell: 668 rush yards, 4 rush TDs, 58 rec, 402 rec yards, 2 rec TDs, 141.0 fantasy points
Matt Forte: 517 rush yards, 4 rush TDs, 26 rec, 251 rec yards, 1 rec TDs, 105.0 fantasy points

The Jets finished 13th in rushing attempts last season, running the football on 41.7 percent of their offensive snaps. ... New offensive coordinator John Morton will likely use both Forte and Bilal Powell often as pass catchers in an offense that could start Christian Hackenberg at times and lacks experienced receivers. Powell showed signs of a statistical breakout last season, as he averaged 138 scrimmage yards and 18.3 fantasy points in his final four games. The veteran also ranked fourth in receptions among running backs, making him a viable sleeper candidate in all scoring systems. ... Forte averaged a mere 3.2 yards per attempt during his final four games of last season.

Oakland Raiders

Projections
Marshawn Lynch: 1,011 rush yards, 9 rush TDs, 24 rec, 197 rec yards, 1 rec TDs, 176.8 fantasy points
Jalen Richard: 285 rush yards, 2 rush TDs, 24 rec, 172 rec yards, 2 rec TDs, 69.7 fantasy points
DeAndre Washington: 329 rush yards, 3 rush TDs, 14 rec, 110 rec yards, 0 rec TDs, 59.6 fantasy points

The Raiders finished 11th in rushing attempts last season, running the rock on 41.4 percent of their offensive snaps. ... The team promoted Todd Downing from quarterbacks coach to offensive coordinator, but most of the system former coordinator Bill Musgrave left behind will remain intact (with a few wrinkles). ... Latavius Murray ranked ninth in red-zone touches, eighth in goal-to-go opportunities and fifth in rushing touchdowns last season. Most of those chances will now be handed to Marshawn Lynch, who returns after one season away from football. Running behind one of the league's best run-blocking offensive line, Beast Mode will be a borderline No. 1 or 2 fantasy back.

Philadelphia Eagles

<tbody>

Projections
LeGarrette Blount: 765 rush yards, 7 rush TDs, 8 rec, 62 rec yards, 0 rec TDs, 122.7 fantasy points
Darren Sproles: 334 rush yards, 3 rush TDs, 45 rec, 373 rec yards, 3 rec TDs, 104.7 fantasy points
Wendell Smallwood: 260 rush yards, 3 rush TDs, 8 rec, 71 rec yards, 0 rec TDs, 49.1 fantasy points

The Eagles ranked 10th in rushing attempts last season, running the football on 40.6 percent of their offensive snaps. ... Offensive coordinator Frank Reich has had just one running back (Woodhead - 2015) finish higher than 11th in fantasy points over the last three years between San Diego and Philadelphia. ... Ryan Mathews (168) led the Eagles in backfield touches, though Darren Sproles (146) was a close second. ... Mathews was ninth in goal-to-goal carries; a role that now projects to land in the lap of Blount. However, Blount figures to see a massive decrease in the 71 red-zone and 41 goal-to-go opportunities he saw with New England. He's a borderline flex starter in most drafts.

Pittsburgh Steelers

<tbody>
</tbody>

Projections
Le'Veon Bell: 1,331 rush yards, 10 rush TDs, 85 rec, 678 rec yards, 3 rec TDs, 274.9 fantasy points

The Steelers ran the football 39.9 percent of the time last season, which ranked 17th in the league. ... Despite playing in just 12 games, Le'Veon Bell still finished fourth in fantasy points among running backs. He also ranked second in fantasy points per game (20), just 0.4 points fewer than David Johnson. Bell also finished fourth in touches among runners, but he was first in terms of touches per contest. ... Offensive coordinator Todd Haley has produced a combined seven top-15 fantasy runners in his last 10 seasons in the league, including five backs who finished in the top 10 at the position. ... The Steelers offensive line was tied for fifth in yards before contact (2.63) last season.

San Francisco 49ers

<tbody>
</tbody>

Projections
Carlos Hyde: 1,004 rush yards, 7 rush TDs, 31 rec, 217 rec yards, 1 rec TDs, 166.1 fantasy points
Joe Williams: 386 rush yards, 4 rush TDs, 18 rec, 152 rec yards, 0 rec TDs, 75.8 fantasy points
Tim Hightower: 238 rush yards, 2 rush TDs, 12 rec, 88 rec yards, 0 rec TDs, 44.6 fantasy points

The 49ers ranked fifth in rushing attempts last season, but that total is destined to decline (at least somewhat) under new head coach Kyle Shanahan. Running backs have found success in his system, however, as three different backs have finished better than 15th in fantasy points at the position during his previous eight seasons as an offensive coordinator. That includes Freeman, who was a top-10 runner in back-to-back seasons in Atlanta. ... Carlos Hyde ranked 18th in touches per game among runners last season, but he's missed 14 games in his first three NFL seasons due to injuries. If that trend continues, fantasy fans could see deep sleeper Joe Williams emerge as a starter.

Seattle Seahawks

<tbody>

Projections
Eddie Lacy: 891 rush yards, 6 rush TDs, 14 rec, 123 rec yards, 0 rec TDs, 135.4 fantasy points
C.J. Prosise: 342 rush yards, 2 rush TDs, 45 rec, 412 rec yards, 3 rec TDs, 103.4 fantasy points
Thomas Rawls: 410 rush yards, 3 rush TDs, 6 rec, 49 rec yards, 0 rec TDs, 61.9 fantasy points

The Seahawks ranked 18th in run percentage last season, which was down from fourth (2015) and second (2014) in the previous two seasons under offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell. That had much to do with the departure of Lynch and Thomas Rawls' absence due to injuries. ... New No. 1 runner Eddie Lacy has been a yards after contact machine, but he has also missed 12 games in the last two seasons due to injuries and the presence of both Rawls and C.J. Prosise could signal a potential committee approach. ... Seattle's offensive line could be problematic too, as both Pro Football Focus and Football Outsiders have ranked it in the bottom half of the league in terms of run blocking.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Projections
Doug Martin: 724 rush yards, 4 rush TDs, 22 rec, 203 rec yards, 1 rec TDs, 120.7 fantasy points
Charles Sims: 291 rush yards, 2 rush TDs, 35 rec, 328 rec yards, 2 rec TDs, 83.9 fantasy points
Jacquizz Rodgers: 485 rush yards, 2 rush TDs, 14 rec, 91 rec yards, 1 rec TDs, 75.6 fantasy points

The Buccaneers finished eighth in rushing attempts last season under head coach Dirk Koetter, who has had a lot of success with running backs. ... In 10 NFL campaigns as a coach or coordinator, Koetter has helped Maurice Jones-Drew (2008, 2009, 2011) and Doug Martin (2015) finish in the top 10 in fantasy points among backs. Furthermore, Koetter has produced a combined eight top-20 fantasy backs overall. The two seasons where he didn't have a top-20 back were 2013-2014, when his lead runner was an aging Steven Jackson. ... Martin will miss the first three games of the season due to a suspension, but all signs point to him returning as the starter. He's a potential draft bargain.

Tennessee Titans

Projections
DeMarco Murray: 1,245 rush yards, 8 rush TDs, 49 rec, 339 rec yards, 2 rec TDs, 216.4 fantasy points
Derrick Henry: 522 rush yards, 5 rush TDs, 14 rec, 120 rec yards, 0 rec TDs, 94.2 fantasy points

The Titans finished fourth in rushing attempts and third in rushing percentage a season ago under offensive coordinator Terry Robiskie. While he's coached Marcus Allen, Bo Jackson and Eric Dickerson, Robiskie had his first 1,000-yard rusher as a coordinator last season in DeMarco Murray. He led the Titans backfield with an average of 21.6 touches per game, which was 13.4 more than Derrick Henry, and his workload should remain intact this season. ... Murray also ranked fifth in red-zone touches (57) and second in goal-to-go opportunities (36) among running backs. ... Tennessee's offensive line was one of the best in yards before contact, ranking fifth in the league.

Washington Redskins

Projections
Rob Kelley: 642 rush yards, 5 rush TDs, 15 rec, 109 rec yards, 0 rec TDs, 103.1 fantasy points
Samaje Perine: 591 rush yards, 6 rush TDs, 9 rec, 81 rec yards, 0 rec TDs, 101.2 fantasy points
Chris Thompson: 233 rush yards, 2 rush TDs, 43 rec, 362 rec yards, 2 rec TDs, 81.5 fantasy points

The Redskins finished 27th in rushing attempts last season, which is no surprise in an offense that threw the football 62.4 percent of the time under head coach Jay Gruden. ... Gruden's offenses have produced just one top-15 fantasy running back (Alfred Morris, 2014) over the last six seasons between Cincinnati and Washington. ... Rob Kelley led the team in backfield touches a season ago, but 26 percent of his fantasy point total came in one contest. ... Rookie Samaje Perine appears to be a great fit for Gruden's system and will no doubt push Kelley for the top spot on the depth chart in training camp. ... The Redskins offensive line ranked 30th in yards before contact in 2016.

[h=1]Marrone 'concerned' after Blake Bortles' 5-INT practice.[/h]

For all the glowing offseason pieces about the Jacksonville Jaguars, their season still rests on the throwing arm of Blake Bortles. Saturday's practices didn't go well for the quarterback.
Bortles threw five interceptions during practice, one of which was returned by Telvin Smith for a touchdown. Veteran reporter Michael DiRocco of ESPN characterized Bortles' performance as "one of the worst practices of his career." Woof.
The signal-caller spent the offseason working on his mechanical issues, in hopes of streamlining his throwing motion. Saturday's disaster is a reminder the 25-year-old still has a ways to go.
"I think anytime someone doesn't perform to what you want to do, you're concerned about it," coach Doug Marrone said. "He's not the only one that's out there. There's some good things.
"We're going to look at it. We're going to look at those plays. If there's any struggle or things we don't like, then obviously we're going to be smart enough to throw that crap out."
We aren't going to make a huge hullabaloo out of one blown practice by Bortles. But after an offseason of positivity, his disastrous day is noteworthy.
Marrone added he didn't offer encouragement to his starting quarterback after the poor day.
"If I've got to do that now, then we're going to be in trouble," the coach said.
The Jaguars own the talent on defense and playmakers around Bortles to push for a playoff spot in the AFC South. Even with all the talent, no team can win if their quarterback is turning the ball over with regularity. Expect the Jags to deploy a run-heavy offense early in the season, until Bortles shows he can manage the game without the backbreaking turnovers that have come to characterize his career.

Blake Bortles is garbage.
