As Loaf and I said, expect a lot of Bess and Cameron...

McGahee as long as he passes physical. Expect a lot of action from Chris Ogbonnaya as well. He will be the 3rd down back and get most of the action in week 3, anyway.

I'd expect a bunch of dink and dunks, Hoyer isn't a down the field thrower. Bess could see quite a few targets along with Cameron. Gordon may waste away and get a target or two downfield deep, but with little success. A lot of the success for any of the Browns offense will come in the 4th quarter as 2nd stringers and prevent defenses play light underneath.

I just got that info a few minutes too. That would make Bradshaw the prime guy to benefit...but does that put value in Donald brown too? Thinking a few weeks down the road, when Bradshaw goes down with more feet issues, is Donald the man next to the man now?

According to rotoworld: http://www.rotoworld.com/ "Danny Amendola was limited in Wednesday's practice with a groin injury. Amendola has been dealing with the injury the last two weeks, but the Patriots are just disclosing it now. It's not clear if it will impact his status for Week 1 against the Bills, but it explains why he didn't play in the third preseason game. If Amendola is ruled out, Julian Edelman will replace him as New England's slot receiver."

Saw em running around. Looks like he is fine.

Sorry plagiarize police, Ill be sure to use quotes next time on something that is social media and isnt plausible by plagiarism.

However not for Mike Wallace in his deal he makes $27M in 1st 2yrs on deal. By the third year the $ is similar to Bowe by comparison

I'd love to have been a fly on the wall during the Big Harbaugh Dinner Party at mom and dad's house. "Hey, Jimbo. Boldin sure would look nice in red next year. Not sure we will be able to keep 'em around with the cap issues we are facing. I'd hate to drop him and just let em walk to a contender of ours." "Why thanks big brother. It's the least you can do for me after all we have been through. I'll toss ya a 6th rounder so that it looks like a "trade" ". Something tells me this was more of a "favor" than a trade....

Not to derail or pull away from the original post, but I think the short leash on ALL Rookie QBs is much too short. Players like Cam, Luck, and Griffin have spoled everyone in the past two years. Sorry, but those guys are not the norm, we just got lucky two years in a row. Everyone wants to catch lightning in a bottle, but you can't keep starting over hoping to be that team. Whatever happend to sitting a QB for their first year to learn? Reason we dont, b/c we all want instant gratification.

Pat Shurmur....to the eagles as the OC. Good lucky Philly. You just negated all excitement after bringing in Chip.

Without Bill Belichick, Tom Brady would never be Tom Brady. Matt Cassel is a prime example of the system, not the QB.

Says a man talking about a team record in the regular season....comparing apples to oranges. Not the same thing.

Manning may be 9-11 in playoffs, but how many of those playoff runs started with a first round bye because of him? If you have him play in those weaker wildcard games, his 9-11 easily could be switched to a more meaningful win loss record. I think it is horribly unfair to use this stat line against him.

A move like this from Chip is a desparate move by both parties. Philly offered more because they had no one and Kelly is runnin away from a sanction that is shedding more light that he doesn't want to be a part of for the next few years.

TY Hilton should also be considered, the list is endless when it comes to potential, however, above are my favorites when looking at expiring contracts.

I posted my thoughts last night after i wrote my weekly column, 2012 Later Round Keepers for 2013. I think Cobb is definitely the option to go with. TY Hilton should also get some consideration even though I did not add him to my list.

I write an article every week and thought I would share this since I havent seen much around the NFL and the Huddle that hits this topic that many of us face in the next day or two. Some teams are out of the playoff hunt, and looking to trade or acquire via free agency some players that will help them in their dynasty leagues for 2013. Hope you enjoy! ....Last week I gave some plays of guys to trade for that will help the teams making their run to the playoffs, hitting really big on Andre Johnson already. Now it’s time to help out the teams that are looking ahead to next year. Here are my dynasty plays for some last second trades before most deadlines pass starting with the first game on Thanksgiving or a little free agent bench padding till things become more clear. These plays are late 2012 draftees or 2012 free agent pickups. These are all players with great opportunity awaiting them in 2013. Most will come from teams not resigning contract year players. Daniel Thomas Mia RB- Reggie Bush is set to look for work yet again in the free agent market. There will be quite a few teams entertaining him in the offseason for his elusiveness and speed on the field. Bush is just 27 years old, and still has some left in the tank for his final big contract. That leaves Miami with Daniel Thomas and Lamar Miller. Miller was drafted in 2012 for that very reason. There is a good chance Miami goes back to the days of Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams in the backfield. Now that Miami found their franchise QB, they will look to add WR help and rely on Thomas and Miller in the backfield. I would expect Thomas, as long as he is healthy, will get the first crack at the starting job. As they say with RBs, it is all about opportunity. Bilal Powell NyJ RB- Powell just saw his first pair of touchdowns this past week and it couldn’t have come at a better time. He is more of a compliment back, but with Shonn Green entering free agency, and getting offered personal chauffeured rides by Jets fans to the airport, it is most likely the Jets go after a RB in free agency or the 2013 draft. If neither of those things happens, look for Powell to get a crack at the starting gig and Joe McKnight filling in nicely as the 3rd down back. Jets running attack will start shifting towards Powell the rest of 2012 as he auditions for the starting job next year. LaRod Stephens-Howling Ari RB- A small back that has proven already this year he can take on a bigger role. Stephens- Howling may not find himself in a Cardinals uniform if he keeps this up. It is already crowded with Beanie Wells and Ryan Williams as the go to backs out in the desert. LaRod will certainly get some entertaining looks around the league as a scat back with explosive bursts of speed. Daryl Richardson Stl RB- Steven Jackson was the 24th overall pick in 2004, eight years ago. His time up as a Ram is closing in. Jackson has an option for 2013, but if the coaching staff can convince him to move elsewhere and join a team that has a better shot at a Super Bowl ring, he may just take them up on it. The Rams are not a contender, yet. Richardson provides the play makers style of running that fits the Rams. With a little less power and a lot more allusiveness compared to Jackson; Richardson can be a top RB next year if given the feature back roll even as a 7th round draft pick of 2012, ahead of 2nd rounder Isaiah Pead. Danario Alexander SD WR- Alexander is one of the better dynasty players for 2012. He was not drafted in 2010 due to knee surgery after his senior bowl, but signed by the Rams who later cut him. He became injured again but not before the Chargers picked him up. After missing the first half of 2012, Alexander is finally healthy and taking every opportunity to be the new Vincent Jackson in San Diego. Standing 6’5” and 217 lbs, Alexander has become a big, favorite target of Phillip Rivers. There is no reason that should change in 2013, unless, injury strikes again. Randall Cobb GB WR- It is almost a done deal that Jennings will not be a Packer next year. James Jones should benefit the most since Cobb is behind Nelson on the depth chart, while James Jones is behind Jennings, however, if 2012 has any indication of how the Green Bay offense is going to operate in 2013, it is going through the air from Rodgers to Cobb. Cobb ranks 10th among WRs and has been accredited by Rodgers as “exceptional”. Cobb should continue to impress in 2013 without any thoughts to taking a back seat to Jennings. Emmanuel Sanders Pit WR- Sanders is a third round draft pick in 2010 with 4.41 speed. He and Brown should complement each other nicely next year when Wallace moves on to greener pastures, more money. With Brown getting an extension and out with injury, Sanders is playing for a starting role next year and forcing the managements hand to let Wallace walk. The Steelers need to get younger and add some money in the trenches, so running with Sanders and Brown in 2013 is not out of the question. It is without question Sanders is also willing to be a team player and take one for the team, $15,000 faking injury hit. Julian Edelman NEP WR- There is no chance that Edelman completely fills the void Wes Welker will leave behind when Welker becomes a free agent again and is not hit with the franchise tag. Add in the mix of Hernandez and Gronk both healthy next year will leave fewer targets for Edelman, but never rule out the slot WR in New England. Greg Salas also may factor into this as he was acquired from the Rams and signed to the practice squad, but as of recent, Salas was activated to the 52 man roster. He too fits the role of Welker. There are lots of options for Bellichick and the Patriots, so stash Edelman on the end of your bench to see how things shake up. Jordan Cameron Cle TE- He isn’t a household name outside of Cleveland; however, as Watson is getting up there in age, the Browns are going to be less likely to resign him. Cameron is already loved by the coaches for his athleticism and size. He creates mismatches and is commonly compared to Gates. In Jordan’s 2011 combine, he was in the top three of every drill he participated in and fifth in bench press reps. Cameron is a true athlete of the game. If given the right opportunity and situations (Browns moving to one primary Tight End), Cameron could emerge as a top 10 fantasy TE. Good luck as you submit claims for free agents or makes those trades with big upsides for 2013.

Want to get some thoughts around those that want to "sell" for good dynasty keepers...some have to win, and some have to lose... ...who is your dyntasy player to go into 2013? I really like Randall Cobb going into next year. Most likely a low draft pick for those that target low end 2012 drafties. Jennings is probably not coming back, so things should continue to play out the same way they have been here in 2012.

Might you wan to add that he did practice. It isnt like he sat out the entire year. Sure it wasnt game time experience, but practice does have an impact. I also want to add that comparing his style of play in 2010 with RG III has nothing to do with anything. Who was RG III in 2010? How many of you knew RG III up until last year?

Peyton Manning now will meet with Dolphins HC Joe Philbin and Titans HC Mike Munchak in the next 3 days...so don't narrow it in on just Den and Ari as recently thought...

Before anything gets crazy and people start reading into the "Manning has just landed in Miami" threads; that is in fact true, however, Manning has his off season vacation home in Miami. Im sure he will have talks there, but I would aim in at about 99% and say he is there for some R&R.

Try adding some value next time, bud.

Per my twitter. I really do think Manning will find a home in Arizona. Him and Whisenhunt are good friends and golf buddies. I rule out Miami b/c of the tough division and the cold outdoor games- via road games vs opponent foes. Manning and Wayne both will sign with Arizona as a package deal. Instant playoff team.

Luck has everything to do with it... I honestly think Manning will return and we will see him break the record for most comebacks in the 4th Q or OT. He will hand pick who he wants to play for and will play very well. Half the battle of a QB is football IQ, and he has all of that still. From a fantasy perspective, I will imagine a full 16 game top five QB performance.
