Definitely. He should at least get a look. But I wouldn't get my hopes up too much. I wouldn't even look at him until past the 10th round.

Only if it is a ppr league. Even then he shouldn't be drafted but kept an eye on.

He is an overachieving possession receiver. Don't expect much.

It looks like Seattle's messy RB situation is clearing up and Leon Washington could be the leader of he pack: http://nbcsports.msnbc.com/id/38872743/ns/sports-player_news/

I'm glad I took a flier on him in a league.

They are giving every guy reps with the 1st team. I wouldn't take anything from it. Forsett is still the most talented. Leon is just a change of pace back.

I can't wait to go 16-0 in both my leagues this year.

I wouldn't talk smack, it doesn't become you. I find that the people who talk the most smack at the beginning of the year have Karma bite them in the ***. Then at the end of the year they are defending their bad team (i.e. injuries, poor peformances, etc).

[PuRock]

Uh Oh. Don't look now but Addai suffers a concussion last night. We all know how concussions spell danger for RBs. They take a lot of hits on the season. Never a good sign when a RB suffers one.

This happens after good news, he broke off a 49 yard run. The longest he's ever had.

195 yards and 3 TDs in the first half for Aaron Rodgers! He is going to be a stud this year.

I'm so excited having him and Finley both in my league... I landed Finley with the 8th pick in the 7th round... not too shabby

I just want to rile up lowrider. I never really talk smack unless someones pisses me off.

But it's a good thing I have Donald Brown.

He looked good with Bradford throwing him the ball in the New England game aswell - he was only matched up against Devin McCourty, but still.

Note to Addai - don't try and tackle anyone ever again, you're not very good at it.

Anyone else still finding it hard to believe the Chargers top 2 receivers are Malcolm Floyd and Legedu Naanee? To think I grabbed Phil Rivers in just about every Mock draft I did on Yahoo...

He was starting to be a great deep threat, and could have really helped Bradford.

Does anyone know how long Addai will be out for? I know that concussions can be messy, but they should know by now.

I'm sure you've seen it, but Vincent Jackson recently stated (I think it was today or yesterday) that he's willing to sit out for the entire season. That just amazes me. But either way, I can see Floyd and Naanee having huge years if he does sit out.

Apparently it wasn't a "bad" concussion. But his status for week 1 is in question. He shouldn't miss any more than one regular season game if any.

To quote the great Forrest Gump: "Stupid is as stupid does."
Just saw his interview with JLC where he stated "My job is to play football". Well, i**** that's his job, why didn't he just sign his $3 million tender and let his agents try and hammer out a long term deal? Instead he's got the option of $600k or nothing at all.

You think he maybe bumped his head during his brace of DUIs?

[ZIBBY28]

for those Michael Bush owners (like myself), looks like he has a fractured thumb, so he could miss some time which opens the door for Run DMc... he could be a decent play the first couple weeks if Bush is out.

[Ed_Reed20]

Houston's backfield continues to get more interesting. Jeremiah Johnson has looked good enough in pre-season that he's reportedly challenging Slaton for the backup job. And with Slaton suffering a turf toe, Johnson is someone to keep an eye on.

That's a major bummer. I've really liked Micheal Bush this year in the drafts.

I'm not concerned about DMc as I am if they bring in another veteran or if somebody else steps up and it becomes a clear RRBC again.

Watch Fargas get cut by the Broncos and reunite with the Raiders.

It's not hard to impress over Slayton. He is still fumbling this preseason. So much promise for this kid. But he can't hold onto the ball.

Sounds like Bush might be able to come back for the season opener. He'll have thumb surgery tomorrow.

Well I don't think there will be any question who is the #1 back in Houston for a while. Foster demolished the Cowboys D. 110 yards & a TD on 18 carries. He also had 4 receptions.

On top o**** that Houston Chronicle beat writer notes this :
[quote]I think Arian Foster, at 6-1, 227, is going to be good inside the 5. I've been telling people to take him in your fantasy league because they're going to get in the red zone a lot, and they're going to get inside the 5 a lot. I think Foster will score 10 to 15 touchdowns if he stays healthy.[/quote]

I'm SO happy I own him in my league. I wouldn't be surprised if he outperformed the two RBs I drafted ahead o**** him--S-Jax and Felix Jones.

It is a great situation he's in. A high powered offense that will score points. He'll have goal line carries and his main competition is limping in behind.

It's official, Derrick Ward has been cut. Cadillac Owners should load up on some Kareem Huggins.

.....and with that, damn you ER20! I saw you pick up Huggins in ATD's league. Somehow I have Cadillac on both the yahoo leagues here and Kareem was still available in your league.

Apparently Kevin Smith is on the bubble in Detroit and could be cut. Looks like there is a lot of confidence in Javid Best. Maurice Morris could be the backup.

I thought he and Best would make a nice tandem for them.

Surely he would have some trade value?

I feel bad for Kevin Smith. He's not a flashy player but is solid. I hope he can catch on somewhere else if he's cut.
