Photo By: Paul Frederiksen / US PRESSWIRE It appears the running back carousel is starting to slow down in Washington. Alfred Morris has run the football well over the first three weeks and just recently the team signed Ryan Grant because of injuries to Roy Helu and Evan Royster. Today, we findout that Helu is done for the season with turf toe and his prolonged problems with his Achilles. For my money, Helu ...

Photo By: Daniel Shirey / US PRESSWIRE Eric Decker received a lot of talk heading up to the start of the season as the projected No.1 receiver for Peyton Manning but thus far Demaryius Thomas looks like the main option. Thomas should be, because he's a better talent and while he's still learning the trade of being a starting receiver in the NFL, he has the talent to be up there with Marvin Harrison and Regg ...

Photo By: Bob Donnan / US PRESSWIRE Because of an early turnaround on Thursday night, both Jonathan Stewart and Ahmad Bradshaw are possible scratches. Last week Packers star receiver Greg Jennings fell victim to a short week, but if the running backs are down, they will have a week and a half to get ready for the teams next game. Ultimately that extra time makes it tempting for any coach to hold a player ou ...

Photo By: Andrew Weber / US PRESSWIRE We all know about A.J. Green and Jermaine Gresham in the Bengals passing game but it wasn't clear whom, if anyone would step up as a second or third option at receiver. Armon Binns has worked mostly on the outside as a starter opposite Green and has done a fairly decent job but another elusive receiver has torn it up in the slot and his name is Andrew Hawkins. Week one ...

Photo By: Benny Sieu / US PRESSWIRE With Greg Jennings questionable for Thursday with a groin injury after missing practice Tuesday, look to Randall Cobb as a starting option. Cobb led the Packers with nine receptions last week, and he will be an active part of what Green Bay wants to do weekly. If anything should happen to Jennings or Nelson as the season progresses it should move Cobb up to low-end WR2 st ...

Photo By: Jason O. Watson / US PRESSWIRE A knee injury is why I had Darren Sproles listed as a RB3 in PPR leagues last week and it's more of the same this week. A cheep touchdown in the fourth quarter allowed Sproles to come away with a decent performance, but he failed to earn a rushing attempt in the game. Sproles didn't look bad on the field, but he also didn't seem to have the same burst we saw last sea ...

Photo By: Evan Habeeb / US PRESSWIRE Last week looked like a wash for BenJarvus Green-Ellis as he was coming of a foot injury that held him out for most of the preseason and the Bengals were scheduled to play in Baltimore. Not so fast, as Green-Ellis ripped off over 90 yards on the ground and scored a touchdown. We won't see Cincinnati's new tailback worked into the passing game frequently, but he can still ...

Photo By: Icon SMI Mike Shanahan has a way of keeping us off track in the world of fantasy football. Before training camp, it was widely thought that Roy Helu would be the starter in Washington. Then Shanahan told use that Tim Hightower could be first on the depth chart if he were healthy, only afterwards to find out Evan Royster was running with the first team at the start of camp, not Helu. Helu would see ...

Photo By: Icon SMI A good reason why you should target running backs in the first three rounds of your draft is because of some of the names you may feel forced to reach for by this point in the draft. Both Shonn Greene and Cedric Benson can give you production early on, but you will be laughed at for taking them as high as a few fantasy owners decided to do in my latest 10-team PPR mock draft.
