Tom Brady suffered a serious knee injury against the Chiefs that will end his 2008 season, reports NFL Network’s Adam Schefter
Fantasy Impact:
This news is shocking for all fantasy owners! Brady is a rock and if you drafted him early, you are going to feel the effects of this for awhile. Randy Moss and Wes Welker numbers also will take a hit! This is terrible news in the fantasy world!!!!

This is old news but we want to make sure you know that Mushin Muhammad and D.J. Hackett will be the starters. Many prefer Muhammad in this spot, but we like Hackett. Not only for this game, but for the entire season.

News:

This means Darrell jackson and Eddie Royal will be the starters. Most will prefer Jackson to get the bulk of the carries, but we are feeling that Cutler and Royal have made a connection in the pre-season.

McGahee is probable for week #1.

Be vary careful here as we think Ray Rice is the better play. McGahee is not 100% and the team is really happy with Rice thus far.

Jamal Lewis - RB - Cle
News:
Lewis took part in the first 30 minutes of practice on Friday but will be a game time decision.
Fantasy Impact:
Be careful here as he has the late game and if you have a healthy option, I'd recommend going that way. Even if he plays, he'll likely be limited and he is facing the tough Dallas defense. If he's out Jerome Harrison will get the bulk of the carries. Although Harrison isn't recommended for this game, he may be available on the waiver wire as many consider Jason Wright to be the backup.

Deion Branch - WR - Sea
News:
Branch went through a series of individual drills on Thursday.

We don't expect to see Branch make an impact for 2-3 weeks. He has to start getting work in the offense in practice before we see him hitting the field.

News:
Randel El caught 8 passes for 73 yards mostly in garbage time for the Skins.

What is interesting to mote is that he appears to be a trusted target for Campbell. He is possibly available in many leagues and would be a good guy to stash away on your bench.

Kevin Boss - TE - NYN
News:
Boss was held without a catch in the opener versus the Redskins.
Fantasy Impact:
It appears Boss will be used differently than Shockey was before. We see Boss as more of a blocking TE. If you have him, you might start scanning the waiver wire.

Antonio Gates - TE - SD
News:
Gates doesn't expect to start on Sunday. Says he'll play and see what he is able to do.
Fantasy Impact:
Take a close look at this one! He may be hampered early and often with this injury. I'd suggest looking on the waiver wire for a backup TE now. We think this bodes well for Vincent Jackson who was very productive in last season's playoffs while Gates was out.

Bengals receiver Chad Johnson (who has legally changed his name to Chad Ocho Cinco) said Monday he will play this weekend against the Baltimore Ravens, and that he's "super, extra focused" in both in mind and body.

News:
Rudi Johnson has landed in Detroit after being let go by Cincinnati, according to MLive.com. Terms of the deal are not yet known. Coach Rod Marinelli said, "I just had a chance to watch him in some drills (during a workout) and he's impressive. He's a big, thick guy who has great feet. I played against him over the years so I know he's a very physical back. He's a guy with a lot of talent and a lot of experience
Fantasy Impact:
This news really hurts Kevin Smith owners! Rudi will be a good fit for this team and will get alot of carries. This offense has alot of potential to progress this year! The Lions are a sleeper in that division!

News:
The Dolphins have signed Ricky Williams to a one-year contract extension that will keep him in the Miami backfield through the 2009-10 season. The source, speaking on condition of anonymity, told ESPN's Chris Mortensen on Saturday that there was no signing bonus, but Williams' salary in 2009 could increase significantly over this year's base of $730,000.
Fantasy Impact:
I own him in 95% of the leagues I have drafted so far! I really like him ALOT this year and the coaching staff seems to feel the same. He should be around in the 5th or 6th round! Get him, he is going to be a STEAL!

Clinton Portis - RB - Was
News:
Jon Jansen lined up at left guard. As a backup.
That's right. The player nicknamed Rock, the team's longest continuous serving veteran who has unquestionably owned the right tackle spot when healthy since 1999, was adjusting to an unexpected demotion. Days before his first regular season game as a head coach, Jim Zorn announced that second-year player Stephon Heyer now has Jansen's starting job.
Fantasy Impact:
This news doesn't bother me much at all. Jon Jansen has been injury prone and rarely on the field anyway. Cliton Portis is going to be a STUD this year! Draft him without question in around the 5-8 pick area of the first round!

News:
"I can't believe a little toe would cause all this," a bewildered Gates said Monday night after he missed yet another preseason game. "I didn't expect this."
Gates is confident he will be able to play and contribute this season. Still, he admits he has no idea how the injury will treat him this year.
"It could be a hindrance this season
Fantasy Impact:
He will not be on any of my teams this year. He is a MONSTER when he's right! BUT he is really going to be nursing this injury all year and the chances of him being an elite TE aren't that good! PLUS he is going in the 4th or 5th round in most drafts! Steer Clear!

Fantasy Impact:
I feel bad for Rudi Johnson owners! He was a early sleeper of mine that I really thought could make something happen this year! BUT after these turn of events, Chris Perry and Kenny Watson are prime fantasy targets especially in PPR leagues! This offense is explosive and could lead to a late round value at RB!

Matt Ryan was named the starting quarterback for week 1 today by the Falcons.

He has some strong tools but I am still not 100% sold on him as a legit NFL quarterback. He's not draft worthy in smaller leagues and nothing more than a late sleeper in bigger leagues! Roddy White will have to go through the growing pains he will endure!
