2016 Fantasy Football Stock Report – Week of May 23
May 30
Mike Evans, WR, Buccaneers 
Mike Evans has been training and watching film frequently with Jameis Winston this offseason. Evans had a sophomore slump packed with tons of drops. There was some concern about his work ethic, but he has tried to make amends for that this offseason.
Devin Smith, WR, Jets Matt Forte could be used as a slot receiver at times this year, according to Rich Cimini, ESPN. The Jets don’t have a viable third receiver, so it sounds as though Forte will serve as one on third downs. Forte has great PPR potential.
Jameis Winston, QB, Buccaneers Jameis Winston has been focusing on losing weight to avoid a sophomore slump. Credit Winston for staying out of trouble in Tampa’s crazy party environment. It’s great to see Winston putting in hard work, so he should have a solid 2016 campaign as a result.
May 29
Dennis Pitta, TE, Ravens John Harbaugh said that Dennis Pitta looks like the same player he was pre-injury. It’s very fair to be skeptical about this, but Pitta is practicing without limitations. The Ravens are loaded at tight end, so don’t draft Pitta. I’ll be keeping an eye on him though.
Devin Smith, WR, Jets 
Devin Smith is doubtful for Week 1 because of an ACL injury, according to Rich Cimini, ESPN. It looks like another lost year for the 2015 second-round receiver. He’s off the radar.
May 28
Julius Thomas, TE, Jaguars Blake Bortles and Julius Thomas have met numerous times this offseason to watch film. Thomas is a nice buy-low candidate after his atrocious 2015 campaign. It appears as though he’s doing whatever it takes to bounce back.
May 26
Eric Ebron, TE, Lions Eric Ebron has lost 10 pounds this offseason. He apparently has taken this offseason very seriously. It’s good timing, as someone will need to pick up the slack in the wake of Calvin Johnson’s retirement. Ebron is an interesting TE2.
Breshad Perriman, WR, Ravens Breshad Perriman proclaimed himself to be 100-percent healthy. It’s fair to be skeptical, but it seems like Perriman will play. Unfortunately, he’ll have to fight Steve Smith, Mike Wallace, Kamar Aiken, Ben Watson and Crockett Gillmore for targets.
May 25
Tyler Eifert, TE, Bengals Tyler Eifert is in danger of missing the first several games, per Adam Schefter, ESPN. The news gets worse for Eifert, whose timetable appears to have gone from three to four months. He could still offer great value in the late rounds if the other members of your league are unwilling to touch him.
Ladarius Green, TE, Chargers Ladarius Green sidelined after clean-up procedure on ankle. Chet Gresham’s take: “There currently is no timetable for his return, so we’ll need to keep an eye on this. The more of training camp he can participate in the better for his outlook on a new team.”
T.Y. Hilton, WR, Colts T.Y. Hilton is having a dominant offseason, already looking in “mid-season form” at OTAs. Hilton appears to have rededicated himself after a somewhat down year (though not nearly his fault.) With Andrew Luck healthy, Hilton could have his best season as a pro yet.
May 24
Tyler Eifert, TE, Bengals Tyler Eifert will miss three months because of an ankle injury, and his Week 1 status is in jeopardy. Eifert could miss some time, but there’s an opportunity to grab him for value.
Marcus Mariota, QB, Titans Marcus Mariota has bulked up and now weighs 225 pounds. Perhaps this will help keep him from sustaining injuries.
Kendall Wright, WR, Titans Kendall Wright has added 12 pounds of muscle. It’s nice that Wright has been working hard this offseason, but he could struggle for targets among Dorial Green-Beckham, Rishard Matthews and Delanie Walker in a run-first offense.
May 23
Sammie Coates, WR, Steelers Sammie Coates has “earned the coaches’ trust,” according to Jeremy Fowler, ESPN. Chet Gresham on Coates: “Last offseason Coates reported to Pittsburgh out of shape and he didn’t really recover from the slow start until the playoffs. It appears he has committed himself this off season and has a chance to be the No. 2 receiver if he can beat out Markus Wheaton.”
Brian Hartline, WR, Browns The Browns have released Brian Hartline, who put together some solid performances last season.
Sterling Shepard, WR, Giants Eli Manning has told the media that Sterling Shepard has “caught everything.” This is the third positive report this month on Shepard, who appears to be set to have a productive rookie campaign.
May 22
Brice Butler, WR, Cowboys Brice Butler is a breakout candidate for the Cowboys this season, according to Jon Machota, SportsDay. There might be something to this. Terrance Williams sucks, and Brice Butler caught eight balls in the final two weeks after dealing with injuries earlier in 2015. Butler could emerge as Dallas’ No. 2 receiver, making him a decent sleeper in the final rounds.
Charles Clay, TE, Bills The Bills want to involve Charles Clay on offense more this season, per Vic Carucci, Buffalo News. They’ll have to with Sammy Watkins banged up. Clay caught just 51 balls last year, but it sounds like that number will increase in 2016. Clay is a solid TE2 spec.
