Julius Thomas - TE - Broncos

DenverBroncos.com's Gray Caldwell calls this offseason "probably as important" for TE Julius Thomas as anyone on the roster.

Thomas, a 2011 fourth-round pick out of Portland State, drew early comparisons to Jimmy Graham, but he's dealt with injuries and only appeared in nine games. He has just one career catch for five yards. Thomas will compete for a roster spot, but we wouldn't expect major contributions this season. He's still just 24 years old, so he could be worth rostering in dynasty.

Collin Mooney - RB - Titans

Titans FB Collin Mooney underwent arthroscopic knee surgery after the season.

Mooney tore his meniscus early last season and had it fixed up in January. He was promoted from the practice squad in December, and he carried the ball five times for 19 yards in two games while also playing special teams. Mooney's participating fully in OTAs and will compete for a roster spot this summer.

Jason Kelce - C - Eagles

Eagles C Jason Kelce (knee surgery) isn't quite 100 percent just yet.

Kelce tore his MCL and partially tore his ACL last September, but OL coach Jeff Stoutland says he's "very close" to full health. Kelce has been limited to individual drills at OTAs, but we'd expect him to be cleared for minicamp.

Zach Ertz - TE - Eagles

The Eagles are working with second-round TE Zach Ertz on his blocking.

"[Receiving] is his strength," said TEs coach Ted Williams. "But he is big enough, he’s strong enough, he’s willing and we’ve got to be able to get him to be an in-line tight end. We have to produce that skill in him because you can’t just be a receiver in this offense and you just can’t be a blocker in this offense, you’ve got to be able to do both." Prior to the draft, one scout characterized Ertz as a receiver because his blocking was so poor. It shouldn't keep him off the field as a rookie.

Damion Square - DL - Eagles

CSN Philly reports DL Damion Square is the "lead horse" for a roster spot among the Eagles' undrafted rookie free-agent crop.

Square (6-foot-2, 293) was an extremely productive player in Alabama's 3-4 defense, but he went undrafted solely due to his size. "Only question you’re going to have is, is he big enough for a two-gap [system]?" an anonymous scout said. "But when you put him on tape, the kid plays his [tail] off. He has a phenomenal motor. He’s a guy that has really mastered all the technical aspects of the game." The Eagles don't have many fits for their new 3-4 defense, and Square could have a shot at meaningful snaps if he makes the team.

Brandon Bolden - RB - Patriots

ESPN Boston gets the feeling Patriots RB Brandon Bolden will get a chance to earn carries this season.

Prior to his four-game suspension for violating the league's PED policy, Bolden averaged 7.5 touches and 40.8 yards per game in six contests. Those numbers are skewed by a 16-carry, 137-yard game against the Bills, but it was obvious the Patriots liked his pounding running style. It's hard to trust any running back under coach Bill Belichick, but Bolden would be worth a flier in dynasty.

Brandon Meriweather - DB - Redskins

Redskins head coach Mike Shanahan said he expects SS Brandon Meriweather to be "fine" for training camp.

Meriweather is working his way back from a torn ACL in his right knee that he suffered in Week 11 of last season. Meriweather was less definitive than Shanahan about his status for the outset of training camp. "If you ask me, I’ll tell you I can go today. If you ask me if there’s any doubt, I’ll say no. But if you ask the doctor and the trainer, they may say yes. So to be honest, I really don’t know," said Meriweather.

Terrell Thomas - DB - Giants

General manager Jerry Reese raised the notion of DB Terrell Thomas playing safety to potentially lessen the wear and tear on his knee.

"In that safety role, it’s kind of like the nickel. When we had the three-safety look, it’s pretty much nickel, it’s just a bigger nickel position. So I already know that position," said Thomas, who is currently rehabbing following his third ACL surgery. Thomas said "the knee’s doing great" and that he may soon start doing individual work on the field.

Julian Edelman - WR - Patriots

The Patriots have tweaked Julian Edelman's contract, converting the majority of his workout bonus to a roster bonus.

Edelman is missing time during the offseason workout program and OTAs due to a re-aggravation of the injury he suffered to his right foot at the end of last season. His status for the beginning of camp is also in question. Edelman is not a lock to make the Patriots' 53-man roster.

Travis Kelce - TE - Chiefs

Chiefs head coach Andy Reid praised rookie TE Travis Kelce, comparing him to former Giants, Saints and Panthers TE Jeremy Shockey in terms of style of play and potential impact.

Reid plans to make opposing defenses honor Kelce's speed, having him line up in a variety of spots including split out wide. The Chiefs have revealed plenty of two-tight end formations during their offseason program with Kelce and Anthony Fasano both getting looks as receivers. While we're excited for Kelce's long-term prospects, we doubt he makes much of a fantasy impact in 2013.

Morgan Burnett - DB - Packers

Packers SS Morgan Burnett added distance running to his offseason training regimen.

Burnett ran 2.5 to 3 miles per run, which is considered distance running for football players. They usually train by focusing on sprints. Endurance is important for Burnett, as he played every Packers' defensive snap in 2012 according to Pro Football Focus. Burnett also racked up 137 total tackles on the season. We love Burnett's IDP prospects for 2013. He's an elite-level fantasy defensive back.

Elvis Dumervil - LB - Ravens

Ravens head coach John Harbaugh OLD Elvis Dumervil is "emerging as a leader" in OTAs.

Baltimore finds themselves without an incumbent leader on defense for the first time in over a decade with Ray Lewis retiring and Ed Reed signing with Houston. However, Harbaugh said he can see players like Dumervil already filling that role. In addition to his leadership, Dumervil gives the Ravens an extremely potent pass rusher to bookend Terrell Suggs.

Roman Harper - DB - Saints

Saints SS Roman Harper's new contract is worth $10.5 million over three years.

They basically tore up Harper's old deal -- which put him among the NFL's ten highest paid safeties -- and are now guaranteeing only $4 million of a contract worth $3.5 million annually. Harper took a large pay cut, and none of his payments are guaranteed beyond 2013. Harper will compete for snaps with Malcolm Jenkins and Kenny Vaccaro. All three could play in three-safety sets.

Kenny Britt - WR - Titans

The Nashville Tennessean suggests Kenny Britt's trouble-free offseason could be a "launching pad" for Britt's breakout year.

Beat reporter Jim Wyatt writes that Britt "by all accounts" got serious this offseason, and "impressed coaches and teammates" by reporting to spring workouts in prime physical condition. Britt is in a contract season and can still salvage his All-Pro talent going on age 25. While Tennessee's QB situation is an obvious concern, Britt offers mammoth upside for a likely mid-round fantasy pick.

Devery Henderson - WR - Free Agent

ESPN's John Clayton calls free agent Devery Henderson a "name to watch" for the 49ers.

Clayton may be speculating because he didn't cite a source. Henderson, at age 31, can still take the lid off of defenses with straight-line speed, but has never been a natural hands catcher and probably wouldn't help San Francisco's offense much. He's generated zero interest in free agency, for good reason.
