| Jones is strongly speculated to be placed on the PUP list to start the season which would have him miss the first five games. Once returned, he could be a surprise until he gets hurt again. But his risk is so big he should only be RB depth for you and even then not one to rely on to cover a bye week. |

| Despite Chatman only having 428 rushing yards over six years in the NFL, Cam Cameron continues to state that Chatman as a shot as a starter. It seems highy unlikely he will be the primary but he's becoming a mandatory handcuff for Brown owners. Lorenzo Booker will still figure in as well but Cameron is insisting that the 28 year old player with almost no NFL game experience matters. |

| Brown is taken down a few notches because the Miami coaches continue to talk about mixing in Jesse Chatman into the backfield as dumbfounding as that seems. While Brown remains a strong play this year, he carries a little more risk of sharing if only in the initial weeks. The apparent indecision by Cam Cameron is surprising but undeniable as to risk. |

| Johnson drops two spots out of tier one because of his continuing contract situation. He has already not shown up for camp and somehow Priest Holmes has been cleared to play and could be in the mix here. This is the worst of all situations - a potential #1 fantasy football player that may not even play this year. There are rumors of potential trades. Johnson is adamant that he is worthy of Tomlinson money and the Chiefs are adamant that he is not. This could get worse before it gets better. Johnson's potential if great, obviously, but his risk now makes him very hard to draft and yet hard to pass by. Expect him to move more in the rankings. |
