Fantasy Football Tonight 8/24
BREAKING NEWS
The Seattle Seahawks have released RB T.J. Duckett. Earlier today they signed Edgerrin James and thus Duckett became expendable. This means that James has a slightly better shot at some quality playing time. This is actually better for Julius Jones and Justin Forsett as Duckett will no longer be around to vulture TD's away from them.
INJURY UPDATES
Carson Palmer is still showing effects from a mild high ankle sprain he suffered in the Bengals first preseason game. The coaching staff swears that if it were the regular season that Palmer would be good to go but I doubt that very much. Right now, at this moment his status for week #1 is questionable. Palmer has only been able to do light passing on the side and some stationary bike work. He is not even jogging at this point, not that the Bengals want us to know that but it is a fact. Don't expect him to play before the regular season begins and even that may be a stretch.
It has been leaked that Saints RB Pierre Thomas has a sprained MCL in his knee. Apparently the grade of the sprain is technically a "0" but these types of sprains have a nasty habit of becoming worse if not rested properly. The team says that his knee injury is very minor and not causing him much discomfort but mind you those are not his own words. I like Thomas a lot this year but he will need to be 100% especially with Reggie Bush's knees always flaring up as well.
Nate Washington left Titans practice early after falling to the ground with severe hamstring pain during a 1 on 1 drill this afternoon. Washington got up under his own power but needed help from the training staff to get back to the locker rooms. We'll know more about Washington's injury tomorrow when an MRI test is revealed.
DEPTH CHART SHAKEUP
The Dolphins are lining up rookie WR Brian "turn on your" Hartline as their starting flanker now in place of both Greg Camarillo and Davone Bess. I am not a fan of Camarillo at all but I think that Bess is a playmaker who is best suited for Ted Ginn's spot at split end. Hartline has stepped up his game ever since head coach Tony Sparano called him out two weeks ago. The Dolphins are all about getting players motivated and it appears to have worked with Hartline. He is the only Dolphins WR with some size that can possibly make an impact in the red zone this season.

Ray Rice. This guy to me is the steal of each and every draft. Rice is going around the 5th round in every draft and that is a flat out steal. I strongly believe that Rice will be a top 10 fantasy RB this season. He is running behind one of if not the best offensive lines in the NFL, he's fast, he's got amazing balance and he's had a whole year to learn his craft without the pressure of being a feature RB on him. This year is when he makes a giant leap forward and becomes a really dominating player in this Cam Cameron led offense. I have Ray Rice as my 10th rated RB overall this year and if I may say so, I rarely miss on players that I am this excited about. Take my word for it and grab Ray Rice in all your drafts this season. You won't regret it!
