Off Season Report

 

2008 NFL Mock Draft - Provided by Football Futures

 

Miami - Glenn Dorsey DT LSU
Dorsey is the type of interior lineman you can build a defense around. He brings the versatility to play multiple spots and should make an impact from Day One.

 

St. Louis - Chris Long DE Virginia
The Rams need help at end, and Long is a great fit. His all around ability and intensity will be a big boost to the Rams line.

 

Atlanta - Matt Ryan QB Boston College
Ryan has emerged as the top QB on just about everyone’s board because of his intangibles. His toughness and leadership would be a nice addition to a Falcon team looking for a leader at the QB spot.

 

Oakland - Jake Long OT Michigan
While McFadden and Gholston are enticing, landing a bookend tackle to protect Russell is a must.

 

Kansas City - Brian Brohm QB Louisville
They think long and hard about Ryan Clady, but the QB wins out. Brodie Croyle does not appear to be the answer, so landing a QB at the top is the route they choose to go.

 

NY Jets - Darren McFadden RB Arkansas
Even though Thomas Jones is solid, McFadden is special. He is a gamechanger and for an offense that lacks a superstar, makes too much sense.

 

New England (SF) - Keith Rivers LB USC
Rivers brings the instincts and versatility Belichick covets, and the speed and athleticism the Pats lack at LB.

 

Baltimore - Vernon Gholston DE/OLB Ohio St.
Gholston will provide some of the big play ability lost when Adalius Thomas left town. With Brohm gone, he appears to be the next best option.

 

Cincinnati - Sedrick Ellis DT USC
There is not a huge drop from #1 to #9 in talent, as Ellis may be the top DT on some boards. He slides to the Bengals though, and they couldn’t be happier.

 

New Orleans Saints - Leodis McKelvin CB Troy
The Saints still need help in the secondary, and McKelvin is rapidly rising up draft boards. He has all the physical skill to be a top corner in the league.

 

Buffalo - Mike Jenkins CB South Florida
The Bills have not filled the need for a corner that Nate Clements left when he bolted for SF. Jenkins has some of the same ability and they hope can develop into a similar type of impact performer.

 

Denver - Dan Connor LB Penn St.
The Broncos are looking for LB help, and Connor may be the perfect solution. He brings the versatility to play in or out, and concluded a fine career with a fine Senior Bowl performance.

 

Carolina - Kenny Phillips S Miami
If Phillips is still on the board, this is probably a quick selection. He is a big time talent at safety and would fill a big void in the Panther secondary.

 

Chicago - Andre Woodson QB Kentucky
Rex Grossman and Brian Griese clearly are not the answer at QB. Woodson has the physical skill to become the guy, but he will need some mechanical work to reach his potential.

 

Detroit - Calais Campbell DE Miami
Campbell has a ton of potential. He may be a few years away from being the dominating all around force he has the chance to become, but he should help as a pass rusher early.

 

Arizona - Antoine Cason CB Arizona
While he may not be quite as fast as some other corner prospects, none of them are as talented on the field as Cason. The Cards would love to keep Cason in the state of Arizona.

 

Minnesota - Derrick Harvey DE Florida
For a team looking for help on the perimeter, Harvey is a great solution. He is a big time threat off the edge, and should help out early on on 3rd downs.

 

Houston - Jonathan Stewart RB Oregon
Stewart is a horse that can help out in a variety of ways. Having a threat like him in the backfield would open up the passing game.

 

Philadelphia - DeSean Jackson WR Cal
Jackson’s big play ability as a receiver and return man would be an immediate boost to the Eagle offense.

 

Tampa Bay - Ryan Clady OT Boise St.
Clady is a kid that will probably go much higher than this. His potential at LT is tremendous, and the Bucs couldn’t be happier that he is still available.

 

Washington - Quentin Groves DE Auburn
The Skins are always looking for a stud edge rusher, and they may have finally found their answer. Groves could have gone higher if not for playing through a toe injury for most of the year.

 

Dallas (Cle) - Felix Jones RB Arkansas
Julius jones is on his way out, and the Boys will need another big play back to go alongside Marion Barber. Jones is a major threat with the ball in his hands, and would be a nice fit in Big D.

 

Pittsburgh - Jeff Otah OT Pitt
FA could hit the Steelers hard on the OL, so adding a talent like Otah would make sense. He has big time potential and could help out at a number of positions.

 

Tennessee - Limas Sweed WR Texas
Sweed is exactly what the Titans ordered. He is a huge target for the erratic Vince Young, and he should help in the red zone. His experience with Vince at Texas only helps.

 

Seattle - Fred Davis TE USC
The Seahawks could use a threat at TE like Davis, who brings a lot to the table. Davis is a legit threat as a receiver, but is underrated as a blocker.

 

Jacksonville - Lawrence Jackson DE USC
Jackson is a solid all around end that should be able to step in immediately and have an impact. Jack Del Rio is a USC guy that would love to add this Trojan to his defensive line.

 

Dallas - Reggie Smith DB Oklahoma
Smith brings big time potential as a corner and safety. He gives them the flexibility to find out where he fits best, then adjusting Anthony Henry based on where Smith lands.

 

San Francisco (Ind) - Malcolm Kelly WR Oklahoma
Kelly brings the talent and upside to be an all around target the 9ers haven’t had since TO left.

Green Bay - Aqib Talib CB Kansas

 

San Diego - Kentwan Balmer DT North Carolina
Balmer had a huge season, and brings a lot of versatility to the field. His talent would be nice for the Chargers who lack depth along the line.

Green Bay - Aqib Talib CB Kansas
Talib brings the talent to play corner and safety. Playing behind two veterans at corner would be a great situation for the early entry to learn and develop.

 

New England - Forfited pick for cheating

 

NY Giants - Ali Highsmith LB LSU
The Giants need some LB help, and Highsmith would be a great addition. His speed and aggressiveness on the outside would be a big boost.

 

Week 14

 

Henry Not Suspended

Denver Bronco starting running back, Travis Henry has won his appeal and will not be suspended. This further clouds the fantasy situation in Denver. Henry has been a disappointment in 2007, but has managed 629 yards @ 4.4 a pop and has 3 TD's in a season filled with minor injuries and distractions. Selvin Young's value take a hit and it has become a situation to stay away from if possible. Henry is the better option, especially with this cloud lifted from him.

 

Buc's McCown May Start Again

Tampa Bay starting quarterback, Jeff Garcia, may sit out another game and if he does, Luke McCown will start again. McCown went 29-37 for 313 yards 2 TD's & 1 Int. and added 34 yards rushing in the Buc's a win over the New Orleans Saints. McCown or Garcia will both make good starts next week against Houston.

 

Lions' McDonald To Start

Veteran Detroit Lion wide receiver Roy Williams is out for the season and Mike Furrey, will start. Back-up Shaun McDonald should have increased fantasy value the rest of the season.

 

WR Johnson To Start For Cardinals

Arizona Cardinals receiver Larry Fitzgerald is out and now receiver Anquan Boldin, has dislocated his toe. It is undetermined whether Boldin will miss time. Either way back-up Bryant Johnson will start and should put up good fantasy numbers. He is worth a picking up if you have a spot.

 

 

Week 13

 

Farve Knocked Out In Loss To Cowboys

Brett Farve was knocked out of Thursday's game in Dallas with a right elbow injury. He has ten days off and that will help, but Farve may miss a week as the extent of the injury is unknown. Aaron Rodgers replaced Farve and was very effective going 18-of-25 for 201 yards with 1 TD. If you need a QB Rodgers is a great pick up playing at home against the lowly Raiders. Dallas won the game 37-27.

 

Benson Out For The Season

Chicago Bear starting running back and fantsay bust, Cedric Benson, is expected to miss the rest of the season after sustaining a significant left ankle injury during the team's Week 12 game. Benson will be evaluated Monday, Nov. 26. Veteran Adrian Peterson will move in as the starter, with Garrett Wolfe the backup. Peterson is a better receiver than Benson and should do as good if not better and makes a good pick up. Also keep on eye on rookie 3rd-round pick Garret Wolfe. He finished with 3 carries for 29 yards.

 

Kolby Smith Explodes for 150

Free agent rookie running back, Kolby Smith, exploded for 150 yards and 2 TD's in the first start of his career in Sunday's loss to the Raiders. With Larry Johnson still out and no word on a return, Smith could be a valuable playoff running back.

 

Vikings' Rice Catches TD

Minnesota Viking rookie receiver, Sidney Rice, caught 3 passes for 82 yards & 1 TD in the Vikings 41-17 stunner against the Giants. The 2007 2nd-round pick is playing well, unfortunately has nobody to throw to him. Considering the Vikings had just 129 yards passing, he didn't to bad. With a plethora of solid receivers in fantasy football this season he is a long shot at this point, but if you are in need he is available in almost all leagues.

 

Ricky Williams Out For Season

Veteran Miami Dolphin running back, Ricky Williams, is out for the season with a shoulder injury 1 game after his return. One word: Bum. Two words: Who cares.

 

Week 12

 

Holmes Retires, Smith Will Start

Larry Johnson is out at least this week and now Priest Holmes has re-injured his neck. This opens the door for Kolby Smith to take over as the Chiefs' #1 running back. Smith was a 5th-round draft pick out of Louisville. He became the Cardinals’ starter in 2006 after an injury ended Michael Bush’s season. He finished with 154 carries for 862 yards and seven TD's. He added 24 receptions for 217 yards. At 5-11, 218 he is a powerfully built runner who’s also a reliable receiver, but lacks big-play speed.

 

Denver RB Hall Runs For Injured Young

Travis Henry was out and may suspended soon, Selvin Young got a little dinged up and that left free agent rookie from South Florida, Andre Hall, to come to the rescue. He carried the ball seven times for 89 yards, including a 62-yard TD. Not bad, but Young should be fine and start next week. Nevertheless, the way the Broncos go through running backs, he may be a worthwhile pick-up, just in case.

 

Raven's WR Darling Breaks Out

Baltimore Raven wide receiver, Devard Darling, had 4 catches for 107 yards and 1 touchdowns in Sunday's loss to the Browns. Darling was filling in for the injured Demetrius Williams. Darling was a 3rd-round pick in 2004, but has never done a thing. He is one to watch for another week though.

 

WR Carter Eclipses 100 Yards In Loss

Carolina Panther wide receiver, Drew Carter, caught five passes for 132 yards in the Panthers' loss at Green Bay. Carter looked like he would make more of a splash in 2007, but with no QB's in Carolina it is easy to see why he hasn't. He is not a fluke like Devard Darling may be, but he still doesn't have a good enough quarterback to rely on as a fantasy starter. Carter has 23 catches for 344 yards and 4 TD's in 2007. The situation is worth monitoring.

 

Williams To Return To Dolphins

Veteran Miami Dolphin running back, Ricky Williams, will return to the Miami line-up in week 11 against the Pittsburgh Steelers.The only news that should matter here is for Chatman owners. Williams is unlikely to do much for a few weeks and may not do much at all. Chatman has been doing an excellent job, considering how bad the Dolphins are, and there is no reason for the Dolphins to stop using him, except that they may want to showcase Williams a bit to trade him in the off season. Whatever happens, he is not worth picking up unless you are really, really desperate.

 

 

Week 11

 

Peterson Out With Torn Ligament

Fantasy football All-Pro rookie running back, Adrian Peterson, has a torn ligament in his right knee and he will miss at least Sunday's game against Oakland. It is not a season-ending injury, but the Minnesota Vikings will not push their franchise back to soon with no chance for the playoffs. Chester Taylor will start. The Vikings have a very good offensive line and Taylor will have a good game. He is likely to make at least 2-3 starts.

 

Titans' WR Gage Breaks Out

The latest Tennessee wide out trying to become Vince Young's favorite target. Justin Gage caught a season-high 7 passes for 90 yards & 1TD. The 6-4 receiver is more of a possession-type, but his size makes him a great red zone target. He has 26 catches for 313 yards & 1 TD thus far in '07. He played 4 years in Chicago catching 64 passes for 908 yards & 4 TD's.

 

Arizona TE Pope Catches 2 TD's

Arizona Cardinal starting tight end, Leonard Pope, had five catches for 52 receiving yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's victory over Detroit. The Arizona offense doesn't look at lot at the tight end, but he Pope did catch 3 passes & 1 TD the week before the Cardinal's bye. It is possible that he could get more looks and become a legitimate fantasy tight end down the road.

 

Croyle Relieves Ineffective Huard

Kansas City Chiefs back-up quarterback, Brodie Croyle, relived an injured and ineffective Damon Huard in the Chiefs 27-11 loss at home to the Broncos. With the Chiefs season basically over, the Chiefs really have no choice but to go with their young gun. The 2006 3rd-round draft pick out of Alabama completed 17-of-30 passes for 162 yards and 1 interception. With Dwayne Bowe and Tony Gonzales as weapons, Croyle is worth a look in large leagues or 2 quarterback leagues, though he is a year away from likely showing anything for fantasy owners.

 

Week 10

 

LJ Out with Foot Injury

Kansas City Chief running back, Larry Johnson, will be out next week with a mid-foot sprain. According to the Kansas City Star, LJ is expected to miss at least this week and potentially longer.
Priest Holmes should start against Denver who has giving up 5.3 yards per carry and 126 rushing yards per game over its past four games. He is worth picking up for sure.

 

Saints' Patten Continues To Perform

New Orleans wide receiver, David Patten, had another solid fantasy performance with 4 catches for 81 yards and 1 TD. This follows last weeks 5 catches for 101 yard performance. He is the teams third receiver, but with the way Brees has been playing a third receiver can put up solid numbers.

 

Fargas Runs For Over 100

Oakland Raiders running back, Justin Fargas, is now the main back in Oakland and came through on Sunday with 104 yards on 24 carries and 1 TD. It is time to cut LaMont Jordan and get Fargas if you already haven't.

 

Alexander Sprains Knee

Seattle Seahawk running back, Shaun Alexander, sprained his knee and will likely miss practice this week. He still may play in Week 10, but is a definite bench as he has been banged up all year and has been a dud. Maurice Morris would start if Alexander can't go. He rushed for 55 yards on 9 carries in the 33-30 loss to Cleveland, nearly doubling Alexander's poor 32-yard performance. If you have a spot, he is worth a gamble,

 

Johnson Taken Off On Cart

Cincinnati Bengal star wide receiver, Chad Johnson, He was strapped to a backboard and wheeled off the field on a stretcher. Coach Marvin Lewis said Johnson had movement in all of his extremities and he was sent to a hospital as a precaution. Until there is further word, we must assume he may be out for the year. WR Chris Henry, who just came off suspension, becomes a great pick up if he does.
*Head coach Marvin Lewis said WR Chad Johnson had a neck strain but may be available to play Week 10. Great news for Johnson owners, considering what the news could have been. Chris Henry is still a decent pick up unit we see Johnson playing again.

 

 

Week 9

 

Titans' Henry To Be Suspended

Just when Tennessee rookie running back, Chris Henry was making blips on the fantasy radar it has been reported that he may be suspended for a banned substance. He is still in the line-up on Sunday, but this clouds his future as a prospect.

 

Norwood To Become Starter Soon

Atlanta Falcon running back, Jerious Norwood will likely be named the starter any week now. The only questions here are, what took so long and will they give him the ball enough to become a legitimate starting fantasy back? You should get him in a cheap trade for the playoff run just in case.

 

Clemens Named Starter For Jets

The New York Jets have named Kellen Clemens as their new starting QB as Chad Pennington has been benched. He was only 5 of 12 for 67 yards and 2 Int's in Sunday's loss against the Bills when he replaced Pennington late. Not a good sign, but Clemens has potential. He was the Jets 2nd-round pick last year out of Oregon where he threw for over 2,400 yards, 19 TD''s and only 4 Int''s while missing the final 2 games with a broken his ankle. He is worth a gamble in deep QB leagues, though he is probably a season away.

 

Kevin Jones Breaks Out In Lions Win

He has been contributing a little more with every week he's played since returning from his injury and finally Kevin Jones has broken out as a legitimate starting fantasy back. The Detroit Lions starting running back rushed for a season-high 107 yards and a TD in the Lions 16-7 upset over the Chicago Bears. He looks good and should still get better, especially at home on the turf. Kitna has been slumping, but he should still play well enough to give Jones plenty of TD 's and receptions if he stays healthy. If you thought he was a risk, but have held on to him, he could payoff huge if he stays healthy. He can be a stud in a year of duds...if he stays healthy. Make a trade for him if you can still get him at an medium price. Whatever that means. You know, not too much, you may still be able to snatch him relatively cheap. Whatever that means.

 

Panthers' King Catches 10 In Loss

Carolina Panther tight end, Jeff King, caught a career high 10 passes for 82 yards in the Panthers 31-7 loss to the Colts. He only had 18 catches for 189 yards previous, but he shows some potential if you need a tight end nevertheless.

 

Week 8

 

Dolphins' Brown Out For Year

Miami Dolphin running back, Ronnie Brown, will miss the rest of the season with a right knee injury. Brown underwent an MRI exam Monday after twisting his right knee in the third quarter of the Dolphins 49-28 loss to New England on Sunday. Devastating news for Brown owners who have watched him become a fantasy stud. Jesse Chatman, who looked very solid early on, will take over and start.

 

Edwards Steals QB Job From Losman

The Buffalo Bills have named rookie quarterback, Trent Edwards, their starting QB. He has played okay, but is an emergency fantasy QB at best. At least for now. He is a prospect that you could put on the bench, but only in 2 quarterback leagues or other desperate circumstances. As always, keep on eye out just in case. He has completed 66% of his 100 passes, but for only 660 yards 1 TD and 4 interceptions.

 

Rookie WR Williams Breaks Out

Tennessee Titans need a receiver to step up if they want to contend and rookie 4th-round draft pick Roydell Williams may be doing just that. With Kerry Collins at quarterback, Williams caught 5 passes for 124 yards. It is he second consecutive week he caught 5 passes. He is available in a good percentage of leagues and can be a prospect or an immediate start in some situations.

 

Week 7

 

Chambers Traded To The Chargers

Miami Dolphin wide receiver, Chris Chambers has been traded to the San Diego Chargers. THis immediately ups his value as well as Phillip River's value, while it hurts the value of Vincent Jackson, but it makes Ted Ginn Jr. a viable pick-ip in fantsay leagues.

 

Bennett Traded To Tampa Bay

Kansas City Chief back-up running back, Michael Bennett has been traded to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He will share time with Earnest Graham hurting Graham's value. Bennett is only worth a pick-up if you really need a running back, but you never know how he will pan out in the end.

 

Houston's Walters Catches Twelve Passes

Texan starting wide receiver, Kevin Walter caught 12 passes for 160 yards in Sunday's 37-17 loss to the Jaguars. With Matt Schaub throwing a lot and Andre Johnson still out Walters makes a good pick up, especially in points for receptions leagues. He has 27 receptions thus far in 2007, 23 of which came over the last 3 games. That is a 7-8 catch per game average. The 6-3 Walters is in his third season and has never accomplished a lot, but he looks like a good possession receiver and will still produce when Andre Johnson comes back.

 

Williams Breaks For Over a Hundred Yards

Carolina Panther running back, DeAngelo Williams rushed for 121 yards and a TD on 10 carries in the Panthers 25-10 win over the Cardinals. DeShaun Foster ran 17 times for just 43 yards. Foster is still the starter, but look for Williams to get a lot of runs and possibly take over as starter as some point.

 

Lewis Held Out Of Practice

Cleveland Brown running back, Jamal Lewis, wore a protective boot on Wednesday and did not practice. That is not a good sign and likely means he'll miss some time and if he does Jason Wright will start. Miami's run defense has struggled and whoever starts for the Browns makes a good fantasy play. If you are in need, Wright makes a nice pick-up.

 

Engram Now #1 In Seattle

Seattle Seahawk wide receiver, Bobby Engram,suddenly finds himself in the starting role and is likely the #1 receiver for Matt Hasselback for at least a couple of weeks. Starters Deion Branch and D.J. Hacket have both gone down with injuries and this should give fantasy managers who need to fill a WR for the byes a legitimate starter. He is a bit more valuable win leagues with point for receptions.

 

Warner Starting In Arizona

Matt Leinart was on his way out as start for the Cardinals and now with his injury is officially out. That leaves the reigns to the veteran Kurt Warner. He is still available in many leagues and he probably shouldn't be. With the Cardinal receiving core, Warner could be a fantasy starting QB. He makes a great back-up or a third-stringer.

 

Henry's Season Not Over Yet

Denver Broncos running back Travis Henry may be able to delay a possible one-year suspension from the NFL for violating the league's substance abuse policy by appealing the decision of the lawsuit if it does not go in his favor. This could buy him until November and give him four or five more weeks to be able to play. You shouldn't cut him yet, but you should do your best to own Selvin Young, though it is likely too late.

 

Graham To Start For Bucs

First Cadillac goes down, now Michael Pittman is out. This is music to their ears of Earnest Graham owners. The Tampa Bay Buccaneer new starting running back has decent numbers already rushing for 147 yards @ 4.1 yards a pop with 3 TD's. Even though the Bucs run game has only been average, you have to like the end zone numbers. He should be a 1,000 yard back unless Pittman comes back sooner than expected.

 

Week 6

 

Addai Questionable With Bruised Chest

The Indianapolis Colts star running back, Joseph Addai, will be a game-time decision making for a tough choice for Addai owners. Kenton Keith would start if Addai can't go. Being a bye-week, you may have to start him and take a chance, don't gamble on Kenton Keith unless you have no other choices. If you have a back-up not on bye, start him.

 

Frerotte To Start For Rams

The St. Louis Rams have finally decided to bench the injured and ineffective Marc Bulger (ribs). Gus Freotte will get the start. The Rams are very banged up and it is wise to stay away from all starters. Freotte could spark them to a solid game, but is a desperate start at best.

 

Broncos' Henry May Face 1 Year Suspension

The Denver Broncos running back Travis Henry has reportedly has tested positive for marijuana use and could be subject to a one-year suspension by the league. Henry previously served a four-game suspension from the NFL for violating the substance abuse policy in September 2005. Henry is trying to prevent the NFL from suspending him over the results of a drug test. Henry claims the league violated its substance abuse policy by not allowing his experts to be present for testing of his urine sample, according to court papers. The time is now to pick up Selvin Young if you already haven''t!.

 

Cadillac Injures Knee, Graham In End Zone Again

Tampa Bay running back, Carnell Williams, injured his knee in the first half in the game against the Panthers. It is unknown how bad the injury is at this point, but it may be serious. Earnest Graham has taken over and already scored 1 TD. Graham scored 2 TD''s last week. He is a must pick-up at this point. Michael Pittman will also see a lot of touches and may even start.

*Williams is out for the season.

 

Fargas Explodes For Raiders

Oakland Raider back-up running back, Justin Fargas took over for an injured LaMont Jordan Sunday and carried the ball 22 times for a career-high 179 yards. There is no word on Jordan's injury yet. Fargas won't be a big fantasy back, but he may be worth picking up in a pinch. This does increase the value of Dominic Rhodes who should return next week from a 4 game suspension. He is the better pick-up, but it could be the dreaded dual-back system if Jordan is out.

 

Week 5

 

Johnson Out For Week 4

Cincinnati Bengal's running back, Rudi Johnson will miss the Bengals' game on Monday against the undefeated New England Patriots because of a strained hamstring. Kenny Watson will start. If you need a star, grab him, but going up against the New England defense isn't exactly a time to play a back-up. On the other hand, the Bengals are due for a big game, especially at home, and the Patriots haven't beat a top team yet.

 

Morency Likely To See First Action

Green Bay running back, Vernand Morecy, has returned from a knee injury that sidelined him for the preseason and first three regular-season games. He may start for injured Brandon Jackson who is listed as questionable. DeShawn Wynn could get carries too. The Packers are winning and their starting running back, who ever it may be, could put up solid fantasy numbers if they become a full-time back. It is a situation worth paying attention. Jackson did not impress enough to nail the job down.

 

Jones To See More Carries

Lions running back, Kevin Jones, fully participated in practice Friday, Sept. 28. He is not listed on the injury list and is expected to play during Week 4. He will likely see more snaps this week. Not worth playing yet unless you have to, but he could breakout any week now.

 

Steven Jackson Out Against Dallas

St. Louis Rams rookie running back, Brian Leonard, will get his first career start against the Dallas Cowboys. Steven Jackson will miss at least one week with a partial tear of his left groin.

 

McAllister Out For The Season

An MRI revealed that New Orleans Saints running back Deuce McAllister tore an anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee. He is out for the season. The Saints have been a dud, but this is still great news for Reggie Bush owners. His stock has increased greatly.

 

Leinart Still Starter

Arizona Cardinal quarterback Matt Leinart was pulled in favor of back-up Kurt Warner. Warner went 15-20 258 yards and threw 2 TD''s and 0 Int''s, leading the Cardinals back and almost beat the Ravens. This is bad news for Leinart owners, Warner may be the new starter if Leinart doesn't perform this week.

 

RB Morris Stealing Fantasy Points

Sammy Morris is not starting and starter Laurence Maroney even ran for over a 100 yards last week, but Morris is stealing goalline carries, in fact just carries with 10 for 46 yards and 1 TD last week. He has been getting about 10 carries a game and goalline looks every game. This is killing Maroney's value. Couple that with the success of the passing offense, and Maroney may not live up to his 2007 fantasy hype. Swing a trade and possibly ditch him if you can get solid value. Also you may want to grab Morris. He can make a start in a pinch and if Maroney goes down, your in luck.
