  QB Tom Brady UP With Welker back in the lineup, the Patriots and Tom Brady looked to be in 2007 form week 2 against Atlanta. I’m not saying that he’ll throw 50 touchdowns, but having a healthy Welker in the lineup certainly improves his fantasy stock. WR Wes Welker…

  RB BenJarvus Green Ellis UP I didn’t have BJGE in my top 100 because the Patriots drafted two running backs early last year. However, it appears BJGE will remain the lead back because of the lockout. The Patriots aren’t ready to trust their rookies. He won’t have as many…

  RB Chris Wells UP Ryan Williams is done for the season. This is excellent news for Wells. The pick of Williams in the 2nd round did two things for Chris Wells. It got rid of Tim Hightower, who stole a lot of carries from Wells last year. It also…

    WR Donald Driver UP Driver was in the lineup and looked healthy in his first preseason game this season, after speculation that he could miss time in the regular season. He’s still a 35 year old coming off of knee surgery on both knees so he won’t be…

  RB Chris Johnson DOWN It’s looking like Johnson’s hold out could go into the season. Once a top 4 back, I don’t see how you can use a 1st round pick on him. He wants 13 million a year (he’s nuts) and the Titans aren’t going to give that…

  RB Jamaal Charles UP Charles was so much better than Thomas Jones in his first preseason game, albeit in limited action. Jones looked old on his two carries, managing 2 yards. Charles rushed for 37 yards on 4 carries and looked as good as he did to end last…

  WR Johnny Knox UP I’m hearing from many sources that the 2nd year receiver is playing amazingly in camp and looks like the favorite to win the #1 receiver job over Devin Aromashodu and Devin Hester. He won’t be a true #1 because the Bears will throw the ball…

  RB Arian Foster UP Foster has been working with the first team during camp. I still expect Ben Tate to start the season. They drafted him in the 2nd round after being clearly discontent with their running game last year so it only makes sense they’d give him the…

Spotlight #1: Auburn OT Brandon Mosley Spotlight #2: Mississippi RB Brandon Bolden  1st quarter 10:37: Bolden with good fight for 7 yards, powers forward through a few tackles. 8:44: Eltoro Freeman with a tackle. He also has a sack and a forced fumble already. He’s someone to keep an eye…

  Poor Aubrayo Franklin, he’ll have to try hard for a 3rd straight season if he wants big money. Franklin was a contract year wonder in 2009, but got franchised by the 49ers for the 2010 season. He once again had a huge year, showing himself to be one of…
