Preseason Notes - Travis Henry Sprains Knee
Looks like the Denver Bronco's RB's got a little banged up in their preseason NFL game against the Dallas Cowboys.
Travis Henry left in the second quarter with a sprained knee, while Mike Bell strained his hip in the third quarter. No word yet on the seriousness of the injuries.
Note to all draft commissioners: Schedule your draft after the preseason. There is nothing more frustrating that drafting early and having one of your top players injured before the season even begins.

Don't be Deterred - Larry Johnson Will Sign with the Chiefs
Larry Johnson has yet to show up this year to play for the Kansas City Chiefs. If you think that this should affect his draft position....don't. He will sign a contract extension, he will show up, and he will dominate.
Next to LaDainian Tomlinson, LJ is the most dominate running back in the league. This is a man who has rushed for over 1700 yards in two consecutive seasons. He is 27 years old and still in his prime. If he is sitting there at the number 2 pick behind Tomlinson, take him. Don't be a fool. Don't over think the situation. He is one of the few "sure thing" players in fantasy football.

Jacksonville Jaguars Running Backs
Split-backfields can be a fantasy football nightmare. Although the overall rushing yards for the team may be great, the individual yards for each RB may simply be mediocre. Its difficult to count on an RB in a split-backfield providing a consistent level of scoring.
The Jacksonville Jaguars may be this years biggest backfield dilemma. The sometimes spectacular, injury-prone RB Fred Taylor will share carries with the explosive sophomore Maurice Jones-Drew.
This will certainly be a solid fantasy scoring backfield. However, if you are looking for consistency, you may want to look elsewhere.
If I were to pick an RB from this combo, I would certainly lead towards Jones-Drew, who is younger and has a higher upside. But the presence of Fred Taylor will certainly reduce his touches throughout the season.

Michael Vick: A Fantasy Football Tragedy
The latest rumor on the Michael Vick "dog fighting" saga is that Vick is considering a plea bargain that would most likely result in jail time. The case against Michael Vick appears to be strong, otherwise a plea bargain would not be a consideration.
If this is true, then it might mark the end of one of fantasy football's greatest tragedies. After a promising rookie season, Vick appeared to be on the verge of becoming one of fantasy football's greatest weapons ever. With his uncanny ability to dodge tacklers and pick up improvised yards, Vick broke through in his sophomore season with 8 rushing touchdowns and 16 passing touchdowns.
Always a great runner, Vick never has been able to live up to the hype in the passing game, completing only 52 percent of his passes in 2006. Even rushing for 1000 yards was not enough to quiet the criticism of his inaccurate arm.
In the end, it may not be Vick's accuracy that puts an end to his career, but rather his off-the-field behavior. At this stage, it looks fairly certain that Vick will be facing at least a suspension from the NFL, and very likely jail time. By the time Vick works his way through this fiasco, he will be past the prime years of his career.
Unfortunately, it appears as though Vick will never be able to live up to his full potential. Michael Vick may go down as the greatest tragedy in both "real" and "fantasy" football.

The Randy Moss Gamble
Randy Moss is in position to rejuvenate his career this year with the New England Patriots. He is surrounded by a HOF QB ,Tom Brady, and a great team that supposedly will not let him get away with the same antics this year (giving up early on routes).
But is he worthy of your fantasy football pick? Unless he drops to the seventh or eighth round of the draft.......probably not.
Moss is one of those annual fantasy temptations. He clearly was one of the best WR of his generation at one time. But injuries and a bad attitude have taken a toll on his numbers in recent years. More often than not, these picks do not pan out and are simply too risky to take a chance on.
My advice....if he is still available late in the draft and you have 2 good WR's already on your team, take him......otherwise, he's better off as somebody else's problem.
