Pyro's Take:

This is good news for Jones' owners, as he appears to have matured and realized that a few million dollars (when you already make more than 95% of the world's population) isn't going to make much of a difference. However, with backup running back Leon Washington and rookie Shoon Greene in camp as well, Jones could lose carries to them.

Pyro's Take:

Rice will get the majority of the carries in this system, but he will lose some to McGahee and to McClain, who will probably be used on short-yardage and goal-line situations. But at the end of the season, Rice will be Baltimore's leading rusher.

Pyro's Take:

With his injury problems and relatively old age, McGahee will take a back seat to Rice in this system. McGahee will still get a decent amount of carries, but Rice will get the majority of them and McClain will be used on short-yardage and goal-line situations.

Pyro's Take:

McClain won't get nearly as many touches as he did last year, as Rice will get the majority of the carries in this system. However, McClain will be used mostly on short-yardage and goal-line situations, so he will get plenty of scoring opportunities.

Pyro's Take:

Jackson proved last season that he can handle the load. He put up 151 all-purpose yards against the Redskins and 131 rushing yards against the Patriots- both times he started for the injured Marshawn Lynch.

Pyro's Take:

This could be a career changer for Jackson. Last year, he totaled 151 all-purpose yards against the Redskins and 131 rushing yards against the Patriots when starting for an injured Lynch. If Jackson can capitalize, Lynch could find his touches very limited.

Pyro's Take:

This is high praise for Forte, who was also compared to Emmitt Smith in "Football Outsiders 2009 Almanac". Forte is a rising talent who will feature prominently in the Bears offense.

Pyro's Take:

This is no surprise, as the Bears are going to "limit" Forte's touches this year as they don't want to wear him down too quickly. Offensive Coordinator Ron Turner said, "We got to spell Matt. Matt had too many snaps last year. We got to get other guys involved and get Kevin on the field." But fear not, Forte is still the man in Chi-town (other than Jay Cutler).

Pyro's Take:

Forte caught 63 passes last year, more than any other NFL RB, so this is somewhat of a surprise. But the Bears are planning on scaling down on Forte's touches just a tad to give him a little more rest of game day. Don't worry, his fantasy value is still sky-high.

Pyro's Take:

This is great news for Jones, who had a healthy offseason for the first time in three years. He and Forte could be unstoppable in the same backfield.

Pyro's Take:

Jones is looking sharp this offseason, as he lost some weight and beat writer Vaughn McClure said his "burst is back." Jones will see significant time on the field but still not enough to have much fantasy impact.

Pyro's Take:

Davis is currently third on the depth chart behind Jamal Lewis and Jerome Harrison at RB but Mangini has noticed him, remarking how he's always the first down the field at special teams. Good to hear hard work is still being noticed these days.

Pyro's Take:

Barber is still running over linebackers but this more fluid and aerodynamic approach should help him burst into the open field a little more often.

Pyro's Take:

The Cowboys finished 21st in rushing last year, but definitely have the firepower to compete with the best in the league. The three-headed monster of Marion Barber, Felix Jones and Tashard Choice will all feature prominently in the running game and their different styles will keep teams off-balance.

Pyro's Take:

Peete added later that, "Hopefully, they will all play equal, so they will all be fresh." This is where we think he's going with this. Barber was injured late last season because he worked too hard, so the Cowboys are going to give him less reps, which cuts down on his fantasy value. We still envision him to be a top-20 back, but Jones and Choice will steal some carries.

Pyro's Take:

Peete added later that, "Hopefully, they will all play equal, so they will all be fresh." This is where we think he's going with this and it's good news for Choice. He's the third back behind Jones and Barber but the Cowboys staff has really been impressed by him and we expect to see him take on a larger role this season.

Pyro's Take:

Peete added later that, "Hopefully, they will all play equal, so they will all be fresh." This is where we think he's going with this and it's good news for Jones, who averaged 8.9 YPC on just 30 attempts last season. He will take on a much larger role this year so keep an eye on him.

Pyro's Take:

Choice excelled when he filled in for Barber and Jones last December, averaging 122 YPG in four games. ESPN.com's Matt Mosley has also been really impressed with Choice and thinks he will play three to four series per game. But he definitely won't come close to putting up numbers he did last year now that Barber and Jones will be in the lineup.

Pyro's Take:

The Cowboys are looking to get the ball into Jones' hands whenever they can, as he's a beast in the open field. He probably won't return many punts as he had trouble fielding those cleanly last year, but he will be a huge force returning kicks.

Pyro's Take:

Hills has been used more at tailback than fullback this year, but head coach Josh McDaniels is hesitant to list him at a specific position. He did say there will be very few two-back sets, which gives more confusion to the situation than anything. Regardless, we still don't expect him to do much this year.

Pyro's Take:

This is a very ambitious, yet attainable, number for the rookie. But of course, he has to sign that contract first, which looks to happen later rather than sooner.

Pyro's Take:

With rookie Knowshon Moreno still unsigned, Jordan and Buckhalter have been taking full advantage of his absence. Buckhalter will likely finish ahead of Jordan on the depth chart, but Jordan could be the guy to get the goal-line carries.

Pyro's Take:

Mayhew also said for Smith to almost get 1,000 yards for the Lions last year was "pretty impressive." Smith has been running hills in the offseason and has shown improved strength in his lower body. We are really high on him and expect him to shine in an otherwise bleak city.

Pyro's Take:

Brandon Jackson is the No. 2 back, but Wynn, who was the leading rusher for the Packers for seven games in 2007, could be nipping at his heels. He's gotten himself into the best shape of his life but he needs to stay healthy. He won't challenge Grant for the starting spot, but he could get some valuable carries if he continues to impress.

Pyro's Take:

The Packers ran the ball 43% of the time last year, and we honestly don't expect them to move from their pass-first mentality. They got stars at WR and QB. So, while Grant will see more carries, don't expect his production to increase dramatically.

Pyro's Take:

This shouldn't have a profound effect on his numbers. He wanted to get bigger so he can run better on the inside, but those carries figure to go to Chris Brown. Plus, Slaton figures to have that extra weight gone by the end of camp anyways.

Pyro's Take:

If Brown can stay healthy, we like him to get a lot of goal-line carries. But we don't envision him having much of a year other than that due to the fantastic rookie season Slaton recorded last year.

Pyro's Take:

Addai only played in 12 games last year, registering career lows in rushing attempts, yards and TDs, but this is good news after the Colts said in July they haven't been "fully satisfied" with Addai's production. Rookie Donald Brown will take touches away from Addai, and Addai won't get the carries Edge got while he was in town, but he's the starter and will put up respectable numbers.

Pyro's Take:

Brown signed just before training camp opened, which is good because he doesn't miss any time. The Colts are raving about him, and we expect him to get a fair amount of touches this year.

Pyro's Take:

Brown will finish in the top-40 RBs this year. With the Colts' staff growing impatient with Addai, Brown will see a significant amount of touches this season, as Caldwell alluded to.

Pyro's Take:

MJD has a point. Last year, the Jags were 20th in the NFL in total offense, and their offensive line was in shambles. But the Jags have brought in several key free agents, and we really like MJD to get more touches this season than he ever has. Easily a top-five back.

Pyro's Take:

Jennings has put together an impressive offseason and will challenge Greg Jones for the backup RB spot to MJD. However, MJD will own the rushing attack so expect nothing much out of either of these guys.

Pyro's Take:

Johnson has also looked "lean, quick and powerful" thus far in training camp according to John Marshall of the AP. It appears as if LJ put the last two disastrous seasons behind him, but we still don't buy him returning to Pro-Bowl form.

Pyro's Take:

Smith has been conditioning on the side, but has yet to participate in team drills or activities. He's been rehabbing this knee for a while, and he won't be a fantasy factor in 2009.

Pyro's Take:

LJ appears to have the upper hand here, but Charles will eat into Johnson's carries especially as the season rolls on.

Pyro's Take:

LJ appears to have the upper hand here, but Charles will eat into Johnson's carries especially as the season rolls on.

Pyro's Take:

Williams, whose new favorite hobby is massage therapy, appears to be taking football seriously after he was soul searching for the last five years. If you draft Ronnie Brown, you have to make plans for Ricky as a handcuff. They are both in contract years.

Pyro's Take:

Basically, this means more running room for Peterson. However, we're not totally buying it. "All Day" is the best RB in the league, so teams aren't going to let up on him until the Vikings put together some form of passing attack. Nice try Peterson, but teams aren't going to let you run wild while they focus on a rookie.

Pyro's Take:

This just affirms that Morris is not a fantasy producer. End of story.

Pyro's Take:

Taylor is getting old (33) and he's clearly on the decline. However, the Patriots have three RBs that are 30 or older (Faulk, Taylor, Sammy Morris) so they will probably use a committee approach in order to keep them all fresh.

Pyro's Take:

Bush had surgery on his left knee in December to repair torn cartilage, but neither he nor the Saints are concerned with his injury. Coach Sean Payton has limited Bush's work load but stressed Bush is ready to play a full NFL game.

Pyro's Take:

Bush had microfracture surgery to repair torn cartilage in his knee in December and he's being limited in practice by coach Sean Payton. However, he should be ready to go come week 1 and if Mort is right, we could be seeing the Bush we're used to.

Pyro's Take:

Wells is still unlikely to play in the Cardinals' first preseason game on Thursday, as head coach Ken Whisenhunt added, "it's probably not greatly possible. . . .But there are plenty of preseason games left we can get him in, so we should be OK." We expected Wells to take over the starting job from Tim Hightower by the end of September, but this injury will delay it a little more.

Pyro's Take:

Wells sat out last week with an injured ankle, and that is never good for a rookie. Every day Wells misses time is a good day for Hightower. However, we predicted Wells to takeover Hightower's starting job by the end of September, and this injury will only delay that by one or two weeks.

Pyro's Take:

ESPN.com's Pat Yasinskas says this "may only be temporary" because Norwood will see a fair amount of playing time at RB, but he's the best they got so we think the Falcons will stick with him.

Pyro's Take:

While this may not seem like much, this is actually high praise for McGahee. Unfortunately, he's still second behind Ray Rice on the depth chart, but he'll see his fair share of carries as the Ravens use a RBBC system.

Pyro's Take:

No surprise here, as Rice has impressed in the offseason and McGahee has been dealing with surgery. Rice is still on track to be one of the biggest sleepers this year.

Pyro's Take:

Lynch is suspended for the first three games of the season, but apparently he's not letting that affect his play. However, we expect backup Fred Jackson to do well starting in Lynch's place, and Lynch's role could be diminished as the season progresses.

Pyro's Take:

The Panthers are being extra cautious with Stewart, who is close to full health. Stewart has played moderately over the course of training camp, but beat reporter Steve Reed thinks the wet field held Stewart out of Wednesday's practices. "The fact it rained at both practices and the field was very wet might have had something to do with Stewart sitting out," he said.

Pyro's Take:

This is scary for opponents, as Williams was one of the best rushers in the league last year. With the Panthers returning their entire O-line and Williams getting better, who knows where the limit for him is.

Pyro's Take:

While Jones and starting RB Matt Forte will not become DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart, they will develop into one of the fiercest run tandems in the league. Jones will get a decent amount of carries this year to spell Forte.

Pyro's Take:

As beat writer Daniel Wolf puts it, Davis has "been outstanding at camp." We're not sure if its wisdom teeth, cavities, or whatnot, but hopefully he can get back on the field and earn himself a roster spot.

Pyro's Take:

Seems like the same old hype-job we hear every August with this guy. Since going off for 1,006 yards for the Vikings back in 2004, his career has played a broken record both in audio and out on the field. We love to hear that a player has successfully come back from major surgery, but we just can't buy into the ballyhoo surrounding this perennial fantasy-squad drop.

Pyro's Take:

This much we knew, but it's reassuring hearing it from the owner of the team. Jones will be used a lot this season, and the Cowboys realize he will give the offense an explosive feel when he's on the field.

Pyro's Take:

This is a boost for Barber, as backup RB Felix Jones is looking strong thus far during training camp. Barber is stronger than Jones and he's a good runner, so he's an obvious choice for the goal-line carries. Keep this information in mind when trying to decipher the Cowboys running attack.

Pyro's Take:

This appears to be just a minor injury, and Choice should be back on the field within the next couple of days.

Pyro's Take:

Morris has been in and out of practice several times over the past few weeks. He has only practiced one day in the last week, so this is something to monitor as preseason progresses.

Pyro's Take:

Both Wynn and Jackson have missed some time in the past few weeks due to various injuries, but it appears as if Wynn has the lead here. We'll see what happens after the Packers play a few preseason games.

Pyro's Take:

This bozo just paid Duckett a $2.5 mill roster bonus in the off-season. Why not keep him around? Well, after bumping Orange Julius down, we are going to bump him back up. It's possible that the 'hawks have plans to use Edge sparingly in short-yardage situations - something he can still do effectively, and keep Julius as their "in-between the 20's" RB. There is still potential for a RBBC, so we are not going to put Julius back to where we had him. He's also getting knocked off our sleeper list in light of the last few days of news out of Seattle.

Pyro's Take:

McGahee ran with the 2nd teamers and McClain received a couple of carries out of the same backfield with Rice.

Rice has been on our sleeper list from day one. We still expect this to be a RBBC, but if Rice can emerge as the goal-line guy, he will return owners a huge ROI on draft day.

Pyro's Take:

The Browns may have a running back controversy on their hands. Jamal Lewis has been unimpressive this preseason, and isn't getting any younger. At the same time, the guy who was supposed to be stealing carries from Lewis this season has been injured the past few weeks. What's more is that in Harrison's absence, the back who has been the most outstanding thus far is rookie James Davis, who many are saying should take over for Jamal Lewis sometime during the regular season, if not to begin the season. Whatever happens in this situation, stay away from Cleveland RBs in your upcoming drafts.

Pyro's Take:

We have been laughing at the notion that Brian Leonard would last as the backup RB on any pro team... even the Bengals. Bernard Scott has the talent to even supplant Benson at some point. We are bumping him up as of this newsbreaker.

Pyro's Take:

He is looking like the handcuff to have to Moreno this year. Moreno will start when he returns to full health, but Hillis appears ready and able.

Pyro's Take:

We're not entirely sure this is the smartest move, but you gotta play this kid at some point we guess. On the flip-side, the injury-prone running back is just as likely to get injured tying his shoes as he is during a game, so wouldn't you want to at least save him for a game that actually matters?

Pyro's Take:

The Raiders still have Justin Fargas listed atop the team's depth chart, but that's bound to change as Fargas won't be suiting up for that last preseason game. Darren McFadden's versatility and game-breaking abilities give him the edge over Michael Bush, though Bush should still get 10-15 touches a game. Handcuff these two together regardless of who comes out on top.

Pyro's Take:

This is starting to not look very good at all for the up-and-coming running back. Just last week, the team was claiming Thomas was on pace to be ready for the first game, but now it looks like he might miss that first game altogether. If Pierre doesn't practice the next couple of days, you might want to look to your next best option at RB for Week 1 action.

Pyro's Take:

If the Bucs plan of going with a 2-2-1 RBBC sticks, then does it really matter which running back slots in where? In the world of fantasy, this situation is referred to as 'sewage overflow' and should be avoided at all costs.

Pyro's Take:

The chances of seeing Thomas take the field in Week 1 are getting slimmer and slimmer, but we'll hold off on saying to bench him outright until later in the week. The Saints come back to practice on Wednesday, so we'll see where the young running back is then.

Pyro's Take:

Fargas was still listed as the starting tailback on the last depth chart, but that should change when the Raiders come out with their new one on Tuesday. Expect Justin to be listed as the third man on the totem pole after missing so much of camp.

Pyro's Take:

Come on now Sean. Let's not forget that Bell put up those numbers against a team that hasn't won in 18 straight games (yes YOU, Detroit). Payton may give this RBBC a look for a week or two, but Pierre Thomas will eventually win out. Bell is still good fantasy insurance however.

Pyro's Take:

We have faith in Smith being a fantasy stud this year, but it won't be easy with the Lions likely playing from behind most of the season. Smith faces the Vikings on Sunday so you might want to think about a replacement this week.

Pyro's Take:

That would be working the pass at a 65.1 percent clip as compared to last year, when they passed only 52.4 percent of the time. Our view? Ben Roethlisberger - starting to become a good fantasy play: Willie Parker - pretty much useless. Once they get Rashard Mendenhall into the mix, though, look for the percentages to start to even out a bit.

Pyro's Take:

Was the absence of Limas last week the reason the Super Bowl champion Steelers lost to the Bears last week? If he comes back this week and the Steelers win out the rest of the year, we're going with Yes. Rookie Mike Wallace didn't do much as the replacement WR3 on Sunday.

Pyro's Take:

On the ride home from the shop after getting your car fixed up and running smoothly again, BAM! You get a flat tire. Such is the life of Caddy Williams. Stash him back at the end of your fantasy bench once again.

Pyro's Take:

Great news for Portis fantasy football owners as he'll be running against one of the worst rush defenses in the NFL. Get him in your lineup if you have him.

Pyro's Take:

Bryant can barely be used as a WR3 on your fantasy football team now with QB Josh Johnson running the ship. If you must use him, go ahead, but don't expect much from him today.

Pyro's Take:

Pierre looks just fine, with or without the knee brace. It should be interesting to see how coach Sean Payton divvies up the carries now that Mike Bell is healthy, but Thomas still remains a nice RB2 option for your fantasy football team.

Pyro's Take:

Glen Coffee will once again get the start this weekend while Gore rests up that right ankle. He's a pretty good RB2 play on your fantasy football team against a relatively porous Atlanta rush D.

Pyro's Take:

It's not Beanie's running ability that's the problem. It's that he can't block, can't catch, and can't hold onto the ball. The Cards will be working him into the offense more, however, so keep him on your fantasy football bench and see if his value goes up in the near future.

Pyro's Take:

What more could happen to hapless Lions? Did the Matt Millen experiment curse them for life?
Nobody seems to know the true prognosis of Stafford's injury, and now with Culpooper injured, does Drew Stanton finally get his shot? Stay tuned to this both real and fantasy football nightmare team.

Pyro's Take:

If this were any other team with any other QB, we might get excited about this... but it's JaMarcus Russell we're talking about here. Give it a week or two to find out if Schilens is worth a look for your fantasy football team going forward.

Pyro's Take:

The Lions have no hope for the playoffs, so there's really no reason to rush the future of the franchise back. Keep Stafford on your fantasy football bench for now, but keep an eye on the waiver wire for someone to grab if he needs to be dropped sometime soon.

Pyro's Take:

Greene is a special talent with a lot of heart and drive. If he wasn't owned already or hasn't been grabbed off waivers in your fantasy football league, do it immediately. You'll be happy you did.

Pyro's Take:

Just what the doctor ordered for fantasy football owners. Megatron isn't out of the woods yet as the team will wait and see how his knee reacts tomorrow, but it's looking good for now. We'll keep you posted.

Pyro's Take:

When asked about his chances of playing in Week 10 after the team's Week 9 bye, McFadden said, “Realistic. That’s what we’re shooting for. We’re pushing for it.”
He wasn't much of a fantasy football contributor before the injury, but you could do worse if you're looking to make a pickup for your team (if available).

Pyro's Take:

Del Rio is on a serious hot seat right now and is looking to deflect blame away from his ineptitude. MJD had 8 carries for 177 yards, yet should be getting the ball at least 15-20 times a game. There's no way Garrard audibled off of 7+ running plays Jack. Nice try.
Look for MJD to be a prominent fantasy football RB1 from here on out as Del Rio leans on his best player in an effort to save his job.

Pyro's Take:

The Human Tripod seems to have been running on all three legs this year with Favre as his QB. He's become a top-ten fantasy football tight end this year and can be started just about any week you choose from here on out (this week excluded due to the Vikings bye).

Pyro's Take:

Turner also watched old game-tapes of himself and decided to go back to his bruising style of running... which also worked. Contrary to popular belief, his rushing schedule gets easier from here on out, so we'll see if the old fantasy football RB1 is back soon enough.

Pyro's Take:

Bryant will be a game-time decision on Sunday, but it doesn't look good for him to be able to play. Even if he is given the green light, we'd suggest sitting him this week on your fantasy football bench with rookie Josh Freeman getting the call under center.

Pyro's Take:

Greg could be a good start this weekend for your fantasy football team as the Bears might have more trouble running the ball against the Cardinals stout defensive front line.

Pyro's Take:

Bryant isn't worth a whole hell of a lot with a rookie QB running the team, but in a game that the Bucs are sure to be throwing quite a bit, go ahead and start him as a flex on your fantasy football team.

Pyro's Take:

We don't expect Turner to be ready this week as he hasn't even tested the injury by running on it yet. Jason Snelling should get another start and would be a fine RB2 play for your fantasy football team going up against a weak Tampa rush D.

Pyro's Take:

Romo will be playing tomorrow, but we're still unsure whether his favorite outlet, Jason Witten, will be available. The Cowboys are likely to spend a bunch of the game running the ball, so Romo probably won't exceed his normal fantasy football expectations.

Pyro's Take:

If RB Danny Ware was healthy enough to play, our guess is that Bradshaw would be sitting this game out. However, the Giants are left depleted in the backfield right now, so they're probably seeing if they can get Ahmad good enough to suit up for the divisional match-up against the Cowboys on Sunday. No need to take him off your fantasy football bench though.

Pyro's Take:

It's good to see that these two are healthy, because they'll need to be with the Bengals tough defense running after them all day on Sunday. Megatron is worth a start on your fantasy football team, as always, but Stafford should be on your bench this week.

Pyro's Take:

So they decided to put an actual affliction on the report instead of saying what it really was... a much deserved day off. CJ28 will be running around like crazy again this weekend against a soft Rams D that loves to give it up to the RBs. He's a fantasy RB1 as usual this week.

Pyro's Take:

We'd like to see Turner get in a full practice before advocating a fantasy start out of him, so check back throughout the week to find out what you should do about the potential RB1 for your team this weekend.

Pyro's Take:

Boller wasn't healthy enough to learn the game plan in time to start, so Null will again get a chance to make a fool of himself. Expect a lot of running out of SJax today.

Pyro's Take:

The Denver running game wasn't close to what it normally is with Buckhalter in the lineup, as he and Knowshon Moreno work much better as a tandem than separate. We'll keep you posted throughout the week on his progress.
