Patriots | Danny Amendola gets on same page with Tom Brady

New England Patriots WR Danny Amendola is working on getting on the same page with QB Tom Brady. The two worked out together earlier in the offseason in California and are now taking part in organized team activities. 'I said it today; he darted me in the chest with one ball, and inside my head I was like, 'Wow, this guy can really wing it,'' Amendola said after Tuesday's practice. 'That's why he's Tom Brady.'

Wes Welker - Welker making quick impact with new team

Denver Broncos WR Wes Welker is already making an impression on the Denver Broncos as he is trying to get on the same page with QB Peyton Manning. "Wes and I will continue to work and try to get on the same page," Manning told reporters at the team's OTAs. "I thought we had excellent production last year at the slot out of [WR] Brandon Stokley and adding Wes as a new player, we're looking forward to getting on the same page."
Huddle Up: Welker now becomes a headache for a whole new division, jumping from Tom Brady, the Pats and the AFC East to Manning, the Broncos and the AFC West. With WRs Demaryius Thomas and Eric Decker already in place, it's unlikely Welker will match his 112-catch average from the past 6 seasons,

Patriots QB Tom Brady: 'I've never felt better throwing the football'

Tom Brady will turn 36 in August, and his receiving corps has been overhauled. He will have something to prove with that new cast of characters come September. But at least he feels good throwing the ball in May. Actually, better than good. quot;Going into my 14th year, I have never had more confidence in how I am throwing the football," Brady said to Sports Illustrated's Peter King over the weekend. "I've never felt better throwing the football." Brady credits those feelings to his work with former Major League Baseball pitcher Tom House, who is now tutoring quarterbacks. House has made some changes to Brady's mechanics that Brady said have made him more confident as a passer. So, what changes have been made exactly? "Well ... I hate to

Patriots RB LeGarrette Blount took pay cut to join team

New England Patriots running back LeGarrette Blount agreed to restructure his contract when joining the team via trade last month. The former Tampa Bay Buccaneers back agreed to cut $1.07 million from his base salary. Blount only appeared on 92 offensive snaps last season, limiting him to just 41 carries for 151 yards and two scores. Blount is currently third, or possibly fourth, on the depth chart behind Stevan Ridley, Shane Vereen and possibly Leon Washington. FANTASY ANALYSIS: The Pats have a number of capable runners. Blount's immediate impact is unclear though. He figures to be a short-yardage back and may poach the occasional goal-line opportunity. The Pats also have Brandon Bolden on the roster at a very cheap rate and he proved to

DeAndre Hopkins HOU (1st RD) -

While Cordarrelle Patterson may have the best upside from a raw skills perspective in this years class, it is Deandre Hopkins that is No.1 on my board. In Hopkins you have the most polished receiver in this class and he should be a slam dunk, week one starter opposite Andre Johnson.

At worst case Hopkins will be a bye week starting option in his rookie year and at best case he’s probably a weekly WR3 play. By next year we should see his floor at WR3, and his upside could blossom as far as a WR1 in PPR leagues, if the injury bug jumps up and bits Johnson again.

Huddle Up: Jenkins (40-449-2 with the Vikings) and Jones (41-443-4 with the Bills) are coming off decidedly mediocre seasons in 2012, and even with Tom Brady now throwing them the ball, the winner of the derby shouldn't expect too much of a jump considering all the other weapons in New England.

Reports of Eagles QB Michael Vick's decline have been greatly exaggerated

Source: Fantasy Football Toolbox

Multiple players with the Philadelphia Eagles tweeted and commented to the media that Michael Vick can still beat LeSean McCoy in a foot race, despite the players' eight-year age difference. McCoy added that this offseason's practices with new head coach Chip Kelly have been a quot;freaking track meet." For an offense focusing on speed and quickly getting the ball out, Vick could rebound in a big way. Pass protection was the issue and that may be resolved with the addition of No. 4 overall pick Lane Johnson from Oklahoma. FANTASY ANALYSIS: There aren't many players as polarizing as Vick and your fantasy draft won't be any different. According to Fantasy Football Calculator, Vick is the 14th QB selected around the beginning of the 10th

Boston Globe lists Patriots rookie WR Aaron Dobson as starter

Source: Fantasy Football Toolbox

It's only the opinion of one beat writer in April, so take it for what it's worth. On Saturday, Greg Bedard of the Boston Globe published his vision of the Patriots' current depth chart. One of the more interesting choices is listing second-round rookie Aaron Dobson as the team's starting quot;X" receiver. Fourth-round rookie Josh Boyce is listed second at that spot. FANTASY ANALYSIS: Dobson is a big target at 6 foot 3 and he has outstanding hands. Boyce is under 6 feet but has fantastic speed and athleticism. If either one of them is going to start in an offense led by Tom Brady, obviously there is going to be some significant fantasy value involved. But keep in mind that Danny Amendola and Julian Edelman are around, and the two tight

When it comes to rookies conventional wisdom no longer applies. With a few notable exceptions, most first-year players, particularly quarterbacks, were once thought to be multi-year projects, the Steve McNair approach – observe, learn and wait.

But in this day and age where instant gratification is constantly sought after, time isn’t of the essence.

Then consider that the current draft crop of QBs is not exciting anyone, and it's clear the interest in Mallett will continue as long as he's carrying a clipboard with the Pats.

Not long after Wes Welker signed on with the Broncos, the Patriots pulled off the move that everyone expected: They reached an agreement with a younger, similar player in Danny Amendola. New England gave Amendola a five-year deal worth $31 million, including $10 million guaranteed. FANTASY ANALYSIS: So, the other shoe drops. This is boon for Amendola, moving from Sam Bradford for Tom Brady. For Brady, Amendola will not match Welker's production, but he helps the cause. He's been drawing Welker comparisons ever since he came out of Texas Tech, which is also Welker's alma mater.

WR Wes Welker has agreed to a 2-year, $12 million deal with the Broncos. This is easily the most impactful news of free agency -- both in real life and fantasy. The balance of power in the AFC shifts as the game's most productive slot receiver goes from one powerhouse to another. It's a big blow to QB Tom Brady's fantasy outlook. He's always gotten it done regardless of who's been catching passes in New England, but the loss of Welker will likely knock him out of the top 5 at the position. We'll see if they can land free agent Danny Amendola to replace Welker. QB Peyton Manning, meanwhile, picks up another big-time weapon to go along with Demaryius Thomas and Eric Decker.
