Handcuff #6: RB Ladainian Tomlinson (Jets) – FFSpin.com  

Many people, including yours truly, have been guilty of writing off LT as fried prematurely. The LT wearing a Jets uniform and making people think twice about Shonn Greene as their #1 RB is not the back we saw with a bolt on his helmet in 2009. He is also not the LT we saw for many years in his prime. He’s somewhere in between – a guy that can make magic happen catching passes out of the backfield – a player that can touch the ball 10-15 times a game and make a difference – a moderately diminished version of his old self that is speedy, agile, and wily enough to play the flex position many weeks and be an almost mandatory handcuff for Shonn Greene owners.

Handcuff #5: WR Rice/Berrian (Vikings) – FFSpin.com  

As recently as two weeks ago, despite hip issues the extent of which was foggy, Sidney Rice was being ranked as a top 12 WR in re-draft and dynasty leagues. One of the sites we trust most, FantasyFootballTrader.com had Sidney Rice as the #9 overall WR in their preseason rankings. Read More...

Big Ben Suspension Officially Reduced to Four Games. Where are Roethlisberger and Dixon being Drafted….  

The Dixon vs. Leftwhich debate resolved itself with the injury to Byron Leftwich. Dixon will be the guy, quite frankly it doesn’t make any sense why there was even a debate. Dixon should be a player the team was showcasing all along as an audition for a Matt Schaub-like trade. Dixon looked bad in his big week three opportunity, but neither he nor Leftwich stood out. They give the team almost equal opportunity to win and all things considered, with the buzz that has surrounded Dixon, why not play him and hope to get something for him. He will probably be exposed at some point over the first four games as an average QB, but maybe he delivers consistency and catches the eye of some GM or owner out there. Read More...

Handcuff #4: RB Mike Bell (Eagles) – FFSpin.com  

There are those folks out there that are not entirely convinced that LeSean McCoy is the real deal. To be clear, we do not fall into that category, but we fully endorse Bell as a logical handcuff. Bell is going to be a good short yardage option, something the Birds desperately need as they seemingly have thrown a few games away in the last couple seasons because of their inability to gain ground in short yardage situations. True, the Eagles do not run very often and Leonard Weaver is the rare offensive weapon from the Fullback position. He is more than a human battering ram, he can make some things happen with the ball in his hands. Read More...

Handcuff #3: RB Tashard Choice (Cowboys) – FFspin.com  

In limited action during his first two NFL seasons, Tashard Choice has averaged a very impressive 5.3 YPC (average of 78 carries for 410 yards). Choice’s current ADP is around 155 overall (RB55) making him a great target in the last round of your draft. He is only an injury away from getting 12-15 carries in one of the leagues more explosive offenses and injuries are a distinct possibility when you are talking about Barber and Jones. Read More...

Schefter Reporting that Hardesty has Torn ACL. What’s the Fantasy Play Here? Read on…  

Good news for Harrison owners – for this year at least. Peyton Hillis and Jerome Harrison will both jump up a a bit, Harrison more than Hillis, in drafts. We had written pre-injury news that Harrison is an RB#3 and now he may be worth a low end #2, although I would still not love to have him as a 2 in a league of 12 or smaller. Harrison’s current ADP is 83, round 7. This news will likely boost him to round 5, any higher and he’s very risky in our opinion. If you get him, get Hillis and maybe even one of the other backs on waivers. Read More...

Handcuff #2: RB Peyton Hillis (Browns) – FFSpin.com  

That’s right Hillis, not Montario Hardesty. We have posted about this a couple times this week. You can see one particular rant right here where we speculation that the Browns may even shelve Hardesty via the PUP List, and that was before the most recent injury. At this point the extent of the injury to the same knee Hardesty blew out in 2005 is unknown. But, this guy has a history of getting banged up, maybe he’s fragile, maybe it’s bad luck, but if the Browns were thinking of taking it slow in hopes that Hardesty is their future, they have to be almost entirely convinced of that now. Why rush the kid of he is the future? Read More...

Housh Being Shopped. Trade Unlikely.  

Word is out that the Seahawks would like to lost Houshmanzedeh and his $7 Million dollar guaranteed salary. Assuming no one is going to take that crazy salary on, the brass in Seattle have two options – bend over backwards to sooth this diva’s bruised ego or cut him and still be on the hook for all $7 million.
