The Facts:
Ball is ready for a starring role in the run game. And the part of his game that showed the most improvement in recent weeks was as a receiver.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
According to ESPN.com's Jeff Legwold, Ball has consistently shown he’s ready to participate in long-yardage situations as a receiver, even having snared an over-the-shoulder scoring grab or two in red zone drills. And while the jury remains out in pass protection until they put the full gear on, Legwold reports the second-year back has shown better footwork in the workouts and has positioned himself where he needs to be. ... And that's exactly what fantasy football owners want to hear. We'll continue to watch for more on this one, but Ball's stock continues to rise.
