Bah Cooley would get concussed right when I trad for him. I hate concussions.

With [url="http://nbcsports.msnbc.com/id/39731933/ns/sports-player_news/"]Campbell possibly having a torn meniscus[/url] and Gradkowski's ailing shoulder, [b]Kyle Boller[/b] could get the start this Sunday.

I'll probably start Kellen Winslow over Zach Miller in my league but I'll just have to roll with Miller in ATD's league and hope Boller can hit him a few times in garbage time.

Holy ****. Boller keeps getting opportunities over and over again.

Emmanuel Sanders will Miss 3 weeks after having a procedure done on his foot. He broke the foot in the Super Bowl and tweaked it in training camp. He is considered to be a nice sleeper but he might have some foot problems this year.

From a fantasy standpoint, that's disappointing. With him likely to be less than 100% comes Week 1 though, I can't help but be happy.

Leshoure just suffered a torn ACL. He's out for the season. Cross him off your draft list. Best's role just increased.

I hope this isn't just "coach speak" by Cam:

Ray Rice will play a major role in short-yardage and goal-line [situations] this year. We were just fortunate to have a guy like [former RB] Willis [McGahee], but this year Ray Rice will be in short-yardage and goal-line [situations] as well. He is outstanding. We just happened to have a couple of them in the last few years. You’ll see him in there as well.”

That sounds about right. I wasn't sure why everybody in the fantasy world was automatically assuming that Ricky would be the goalline back. He's never really carried that duty before.

Here is a fun fact. No player in the NFL has more rushing attempts so far than......Ben Tate (47)! Tim Hightower in second with 45! Wow.

Who saw that one coming?

Jamaal Charles done for the year. This opens the door for McCluster/Jones/McClain. My league is a PPR league, so naturally I got McCluster from free agency.

What are the advantages of a player listed as both a RB/WR???

That if you have a weakness in one area you can swing a player. That's about it. Not sure if I would feel confident with McCluster in either RB or WR right now. He's not going to be any type of workhorse at 170 lbs. Plus KC's offense is just anemic. I'm staying away from that situation.

Another fun fact. Tolbert leads the league in receptions. Not Andre Johnson. Not Roddy White. Mike Tolbert.

Good thing the season is long.

Yahoo Sports is reporting that C Benson is going to be suspended for 3 games for his antics during the lockout.

As a C Benson owner in my money league I am a bit ticked off. How come he gets suspended but Britt/Talib/Ward face no disciplinary actions. Plus those three games will be the best time in the whole season to use Benson. Bills-Colts-Jags.

I dunno, its stupid.

On that note, I don't own Benson in my money league, but I do now own Bernard Scott

Also Pu, With Lee Evans gone don't you think Dickson will be a lot more involved?

I'm starting him over Winslow.

Dickson should be more involved even even with Evans out there. But I know what your saying, he should now be more involved in the current gameplan now that Evans is ruled out. I just don't know which Ravens team will show up.

I'm not a fan of Winslow as a fantasy option so I'd go bold and start Dickson over Winslow.
