Posted this to the Jamaal Charles thread, but putting it here as well... Not sure how viable the source is, but there is this: http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nfl/4617/jamaal-Charles Speaking on SiriusXM Fantasy, ESPN Chiefs reporter Adam Teicher suggested Jamaal Charles might not play Week 1. "If he plays it won't be a lot," Teicher added. "He certainly won't be the starter." This is the second time this week Teicher has questioned Charles' early-season role, saying Tuesday he still has not established himself as the clear-cut No. 1 back. These comments take the concern even a step further, questioning if Charles will even play Week 1. Always overvalued at the top of the second round, Charles needs to be moved way down draft boards. Spencer Ware is worth a look as early as the sixth round. Sep 1 - 8:27 AM Source: SiriusXM Fantasy

Updated. Updating a previous item, coach Mike Munchak stated Wednesday he'd like Chris Johnson to get 20 carries per game going forward, with Shonn Greene handling 15. It's humorous because Johnson hasn't received 20 carries in any game since Week 2, and his carry totals have declined steadily and precipitously since the beginning of the season. Ultimately, it sounds like the Titans are pushing the idea of a near-even carry split between Johnson and Greene, which bodes poorly for CJ2ypcK's value and positively for Greene's. Johnson's fantasy owners need to hope the Titans continue to increase his passing-game work, because his carries are diminishing and he's not going to get any goal-line chances. At this point, Greene needs to be owned in all 12-team fantasy leagues. Source: Jim Wyatt on Twitter Oct 30 - 8:50 PM

Or are we looking at a Chris Ivory situation?

Agree - I think he's a fantasy long shot this season

I think leveon bell was my biggest steal Took him in the 12th round as a stashed 4th RB about 2 weeks ago - news today says he's targeting a week 2 return now (though likely later) I hope he has at least 1 - 2 solid weeks then trade possibilities for a solid WR

Ok case made - appreciate the feedback.

Due to a mix of early draft positions and wifi / autodraft issues, I've ended up with Doug Martin in three leagues as my #1 RB. I believe he'll do great this year but am worried about injury, off weeks, etc impacting all my leagues and thinking abt trading for lynch, spiller, foster. I have solid RB 2s and 3s (forte, bush, cj2k, mjd). I think i have a solid concern here but interested in other opinions - thoughts? Overreacting here?

Ugh - ugly choices Gerhardt is best bet IMHO - ap and mjd get less touches - my guess http://www.fftodayforums.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=406355

I like Ronnie brown since he doesn't have Mathews to compete with http://www.fftodayforums.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=406355

Hou homer but like Jennings this week - mjd is not in playing shape yet - Jennings gets the nod IMHO http://www.fftodayforums.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=406355

No Ryan Mathews so Ronnie brown IMHO http://www.fftodayforums.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=406355

JStew tweeted he's out so DWill for sure http://www.fftodayforums.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=406355

Now that AP is going to get some touches, do I gamble w TRich who's a rookie, w limited preseason, and going against a PHI defense? Projections are flip flopping on who has a better week...

Andre Johnson Will Not Be Suspended HOUSTON - FOX 26 Sports has learned Houston Texans receiver Andre Johnson will be fined for his actions Sunday involving Tennessee Titans cornerback Cortland Finnegan, but Johnson will not be suspended. It is not known what further punishment will be handed down to Finnegan. Huge news for the Texans because that means their All-Pro receiver will be able to play when Houston takes on the Eagles Thursday night in Philadelphia. Any further disciplinary action for Johnson and Finnegan will stem from their altercation in the fourth quarter of the Texans 20-0 victory at Reliant Stadium. Both players were ejected from the game. Finnegan initiated the fight when he hit Johnson in the facemask seconds after the ball was snapped. Johnson retaliated and both players ripped each other's helmets off. Johnson would land several punches before the referees intervened. Multiple sources told FOX 26 Sports prior to the fight Finnegan looked at the Texans sidelines and said, "watch this." http://www.myfoxhouston.com/dpp/sports/nfl/101129-andre-johnson-will-not-be-suspended
