Blake Bortles

Back with the coaches for the first time in six weeks, Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles said he spent most of his short vacation trying to further his knowledge of new offensive coordinator Greg Olson’s scheme.

Aside from a week in Lake Tahoe, Calif., for a celebrity golf tournament, Bortles was in Jacksonville. He threw to teammates during several sessions at Bishop Kenny High School, but did not make a return trip to southern California to work with Tom House.

Asked what his camp goals, Bortles said: “To come out of camp with a clear ownership of the offense. I got a brief overview of it going through the spring and had an opportunity this month to stay on top of it by continuing to review things.”

Fantasy Impact: 

When the offseason program was completed, Olson and quarterbacks coach Nathaniel Hackett gave Bortles plenty of homework, chiefly on pass protection. Bortles’ leadership developed last year when he started the final 12 games. He feels comfortable being in that role from the hop this year, the story went on to say. Bortles enters 2015 with Julius Thomas as his new TE and a young group of WRs looking to take the next step in the Jags offense. Despite that, Bortles is still buried on our QB list at 25th. There's some potential there, but he likely won't see a lot of draft day action in typical leagues. If he shows improvement, he could at least be a streaming option at some point this season.

Jags Beat: Allen Robinson poised to break out

Jags WR Allen Robinson spent the first several months of 2015 rehabbing his foot and began the offseason conditioning program cleared only for some individual work. It wasn’t until the next-to-last week of OTAs that he was cleared to participate in individual drills.

He was immediately noticeable. Though rules prohibit the media from describing exactly what happened during OTAs and minicamp, Robinson was the most impressive offensive player on the field -- even more so than tight end Julius Thomas, the prize of the Jaguars’ free-agency class.

"He’s been unbelievable," quarterback Blake Bortles said on the next-to-last day of a three-day minicamp. "I know he worked really hard in the training room to rehab and trying to get back as quickly as he could, and he’s done that. You guys have been able to see him go and make plays and he’s definitely a threat now in the red zone. ... He’s physical; he can run and do everything out in the open field, so he’s been fun to throw to."

Fantasy Impact: 

Robinson said he feels comfortable with his knowledge of coordinator Greg Olson’s new offense so far despite not having a lot of reps, but that’s not a surprise since he did miss all that time last year during OTAs, minicamp and the preseason and still was the Jaguars’ best receiver through the first 10 games of 2014. He caught at least four passes in all but one game. The Jaguars made addressing the offensive line a priority in free agency and the draft. That should mean the passing game will be significantly better, which will give Robinson a chance to have a breakout season. The Jaguars haven’t had a 1,000-yard receiver since 2005. Robinson may have a chance to break that streak, the story said. Robinson is 33rd on our list and could presents a nice value in the middle rounds. Before his injury, he put up fringe WR2 numbers.

'It will be surprising' if Jaguars RB T.J. Yeldon isn't the starter by Week 1

The Jaguars left for summer vacation pleased with RB T.J. Yeldon.

“The impressive thing about T.J. is that he picked up the offense quickly,” RB coach Kelly Skipper said. “For the most part, when he gets something, he has it [down] and we can move onto the next thing.”

Said coach Gus Bradley: “He’s all football. This kid is internally driven. Every rep he gets, he’s going to take advantage of. I really like him.”

Yeldon has the tools — runner, receiver, pass protector — to be a three-down back. But how soon?

“That’s what we have to find out and find out fast,” Skipper said.

It will be surprising if Yeldon isn’t the tailback for Play 1 in Week 1 — the Jaguars drafted him No. 36 overall to be The Guy. But what kind of work load he gets is unclear.

Fantasy Impact: 

Yeldon should see plenty of touches, but the Jaguars' offense has been poor for some time, so he may not see the same number of scoring opportunities as some of the other running backs being drafted in the middle rounds. Denard Robinson had a very nice stretch for four weeks, but otherwise the Jacksonville running backs weren't much of a fantasy factor in 2014. The team did make an effort to improve the offensive line via free agency and the draft, so Yeldon has top 20 potential provided QB Blake Bortles shows progress from his disappointing rookie season.

Colt McCoy

Gruden: RG3 has shown 'exciting' improvement this offseason

Redskins Coach Jay Gruden says he believes Robert Griffin III showed meaningful progress this offseason.

“The more he gets around our terminology and understands it and learns it and can see it against different coverages, the better he is going to be,” Gruden said on SiriusXM NFL Radio. “And he has shown improvement in the OTAs, which is exciting.”

“All three quarterbacks have [shown improvement],” Gruden continued, referring to backups Colt McCoy and Kirk Cousins. “Colt’s done a good job. So has Kirk. But Robert, especially, has taken over the leadership role and done some good things. He’s just got to continue improve. And we’ve got to be patient with him. There are going to be some bumps and bruises along the way, but I think we’ll be okay as long as we stay patient.”

Fantasy Impact: 

RG3 averaged 12.0 fantasy points in the six games that he started and finished in 2014. That's what Blake Bortles averaged as the league's #24 fantasy quarterback. We know Griffin is capable of more, but he hasn't been the same player since his rookie season. Specifically, he's not running the ball as often or as effectively. The team has a nice receiving corps and a strong running game, so there is upside here.
