The days pass seamlessly, with hours of strength work, film work and more film work. It’s how Lee gets his edge. He can know what an offense will do before it does it because he has studied so much.
Williams looked explosive in the preseason and has trimmed his weight to less than 215 pounds. He played closer to 230 pounds while with the Carolina Panthers.As the regular season inches closer, it's time once again for my eighth annual "bold predictions" column.The "you heard me" premise works like this. Pretend we are having a conversation:polo jeans mac millerTampa Bay Buccaneers: I say Vincent Jackson has a better fantasy season than Mike Evans does. My thinking: I actually think Evans is really something special, but despite a down year last season, Jackson is no slouch, either. Their yardage totals were basically the same, and Jackson actually beat Evans in receptions and targets. The major difference between the two players was touchdowns, as Evans scored 10 more. Things like that tend to regress, so I could see Evans' total come down a bit, Jackson's go up, and frankly, my heart just wasn't into a bold prediction on Doug Martin, Jameis Winston and Austin Seferian-Jenkins (I feel like I've done a ton of tight end ones). I love Evans, but I do think the hate on Jackson has gone too far, so I wanted to basically highlight that.That would be running back DeAngelo Williams, who's now a father of three after the birth of a baby boy on Friday.Jets quarterback Geno Smith continued his recovery from a broken jaw by participating in positional drills on Monday, per ESPN.com's Rich Cimini. We don't expect him to suit up for Sunday's opener against the Browns, but Smith has a shot to see the field over the first month of the season.
polo ralph lauren t shirtsNew York Jets: I say Chris Ivory, currently going as RB26, sets career highs in total yards (currently 944), touchdowns (seven) and fantasy points (124). My thinking: In Chan Gailey I trust. C.J. Spiller and Fred Jackson combined for 32 touchdowns in three seasons in Buffalo with Ryan Fitzpatrick as the QB, and Ivory doesn't really have a ton of competition for the starting job. Health permitting, he'll get a ton of work in a decent -- not great, but decent -- offense and the best Jets offense he's played on.polo ralph lauren t shirtsMiami Dolphins: I say that currently injured rookie wide receiver DeVante Parker ends up with the most fantasy points among Dolphins pass-catchers this season. My thinking: Odell Beckham Jr. has taught us you don't need to play in Week 1 to make an impact. I love Jarvis Landry this season but see him running more short routes like he did last season, with Parker becoming the deep threat and No. 1 WR. His talent is off the charts. He just needs to get healthy, and he's getting close.When Griffin is cleared, there's a good chance he'll serve as the No. 3 quarterback, according to a source. Colt McCoy would then be the primary backup to starter Kirk Cousins. Gruden, though, said the backup situation would be settled after Griffin is cleared. Griffin practiced Sunday and remained on the field for 45 minutes afterward, working on his game.polo ralph lauren big ponyWhile Eli Manning remains, the Giants offense has new personnel and scheme.Manziel said he was not overly concerned about the tendinitis because it was simply a matter of overuse. He said rest reduced the inflammation.
New Orleans Saints: I say Drew Brees, a surefire top-five and often top-three QB, finishes outside the top 10 at quarterback this season in fantasy points. My thinking: He says last season's sixth-place finish among QBs was because of injury, and maybe it was. But losing guys like Jimmy Graham, Kenny Stills and Pierre Thomas, going more run-based and hoping to keep that same production with a young and somewhat unproven Brandin Cooks, an injury-prone C.J. Spiller, a slowing-down Marques Colston and a raw Brandon Coleman is dicey. Plus, with downgrades at tight end and a growing number of talented quarterbacks in fantasy-friendly offenses, I can easily see another "down" year for Brees.polo jeans mac millerThe Giants have enough talent to field one of the league's top receiving trios, but Cruz has served as a constant injury concern of late, missing 12 games over the past two seasons. If he can't go Sunday night, ODB is a lock to see constant double teams.
Washington: I say Matt Jones scores the most points of any Washington running back. My thinking: I love this kid. Every time I see him, he is big and fast and a very tough tackle. They want to run a ton this season, and he'll already be getting some third-down work and spelling Alfred Morris. They are talking more 1A-to-1B kind of thing. Morris is great, but Jones will force his way onto the field. I believe once he gets his shot, he's not giving it up. If nothing else, Jones will be flex-worthy, and he's currently being undrafted.

Christian Petersen/Getty ImagesSan Diego Chargers: I say Ladarius Green, currently undrafted (as TE26), scores eight touchdowns this season and is a viable fantasy starter at the position. My thinking: Well, I've been on the Green bandwagon for a few years now, what's one more? The four-game suspension for Antonio Gates opens the door for Green to show what he can do, and the Chargers don't have a lot of great red zone threats.Given Sunday's move it would appear that Ball was No. 52 or 53 on that final list.
"I think Tim's really progressed," Kelly said. "We just didn't feel like he was good enough to be the '3' right now."

Williams wants to talk about Pittsburgh's game against Tom Brady and the defending Super Bowl champion Patriots, but he did acknowledge that sleep is a bit of a challenge this week. The Steelers' stay in a hotel Wednesday night can help with that.
