White getting better with controling weight
May 09, 8:33 AM The Nashville Tennessean quotes Titans running back LenDale White as saying he is within 5-10 pounds of where he needs to be weight-wise. He adds that he likes leaving people in the dark to speculate as to how much he weighs.
Fantasy Spin: Given the ballooning of his weight in past years, this is some serious progress. White should have no problem remaining the primary ball carrier in Tennessee, but Chris Johnson will be assuming the Chris Brown role and stealing third down looks. View original story

Carrikers sitting out OTAs
May 09, 8:30 AM The St. Louis Times-Dispatch reports that Rams defensive lineman Adam Carriker is not participating in OTAs. Leonard Little and Orlando Pace are also being held out.
Fantasy Spin: All three are recovering from injury, and the Rams are playing it safe with all three. Each is a key cog in the Rams lineup, so this is probably a wise move. All are expected to participate in training camp in July.

Washington to compete to start with Rolle
May 09, 8:26 AM According to the Baltimore Sun, newly acquired cornerback Fabian Washington is getting a chance to openly compete with incumbent Samari Rolle to start.
Fantasy Spin: Rolle's injury/health issues were a major problem last year, and he's on the tail end of his career. Washington's IDP value just went up considerably.

Kemoeatu drawing rave reviews
May 09, 8:23 AM The Pittsburgh Tribune Review reports that the Steelers coaching staff is raving about guard Chris Kemoeatu, saying he has made a lot of progress over the past year.
Fantasy Spin: This is good news for the Steelers offense in general, which needs to replace Alan Faneca at left guard. Kemoeatu should be that replacement, and it sounds like he should be at least adequate.

Calhoun looking good in camp
May 08, 4:42 PM According to the Detroit Free Press, Lions running back Brian Calhoun is looking very good in offseason practices, and he is proving he can excel in the new zone blocking scheme.
Fantasy Spin: It's looking like Calhoun may be a lock for the third down back role in Detroit. He's a far better blocker than Bell and Smith, and he's showing some good quickness. The only real question is, who will be the starter: Bell or Smith? View original story

Bell arrives to camp overweight
May 08, 4:39 PM The Detroit Free Press reports that running back Tatum Bell has shown up at minicamp overweight.
Fantasy Spin: Not exactly a great way to start your tenure as the starting running back in Detroit. Bell will need to be at his best to hold off Brian Calhoun and Kevin Smith. View original story

Colts bring Rhodes back
May 07, 2:27 PM The Colts have signed running back Dominic Rhodes to a one-year, $605,000 deal.
Fantasy Spin: Expect Kenton Keith to be history sooner or later in Indianapolis. This signing does muddy the waters as to who will backup Joseph Addai, but the edge has to be given to Rhodes.

Witness says police mistreated Benson
May 07, 1:07 PM The Chicago Tribune reports that a female friend of Bears running back Cedric Benson, who was present at his arrest, is accusing the arresting officers of being overly aggressive with Benson before his arrest on boating while intoxicated charges.
Fantasy Spin: This case could get very, very interesting. While the details have Benson crying and calling for his mother, which will not earn him toughness points in the locker room, if the rest is true about police misconduct, the charges might be dropped altogether. View original story

Bengals concerned Housh gone after 2008
May 07, 10:45 AM Sports Illustrated.com reports that the Bengals are just as much concerned with losing T.J. Houshmandzadeh after 2008 as they are about Chad Johnson.
Fantasy Spin: The Bengals stockpiled wide receivers in the draft, and they had good reason to. Mr. "Championship" is looking for big money now, and will be a huge commodity on the open market in 2009. It is quite possible that the Bengals will be without their top two receivers in 2009. Jerome Simpson is a player to have in dynasty formats. View original story

McGinest declares this is it
May 07, 12:05 AM Sports Illustrated reports that Browns linebacker Willie McGinest has declared that he will retire after this season.
Fantasy Spin: At this point McGinest is more of a locker room leader than a performer on the field. He's had a good run, but this move was a long time coming. View original story

Bears release Archuletta
May 06, 8:18 PM The Bears have released safety Adam Archuletta.
Fantasy Spin: Archuletta failed to revive his career in Chicago, and is now a backup defensive back at best these days. Some one might give him a serious look, perhaps a team in need of depth like Cleveland. View original story

Thigpen in the mix to start
May 06, 8:16 PM The NFL Network reports that Chiefs quarterback Tyler Thigpen has been so impressive in the offseason thus far that he is now seriously in the mix to start over Brodie Croyle.
Fantasy Spin: Croyle will probably still win the starting job, but Thigpen could take over if Croyle struggles badly out of the gate. His fantasy value is marginal right now, but you never know if he might be the next Kurt Warner. View original story

Colts close to bringing Rhodes back?
May 06, 8:14 PM The NFL Network reports that the Colts are expected to reach an agreement with running back Dominic Rhodes in the near future.
Fantasy Spin: It was not long ago that the Colts denied any interest in Rhodes, but it was probably just a smoke screen. Rhodes would compete with Kenton Keith and Mike Hart to backup Joseph Addai. Whoever wins the backup job is an immediate fantasy option, as Addai's backup tends to post decent numbers.

Jets re-sign Poteat
May 06, 8:10 PM The Jets have officially re-signed cornerback Hank Poteat.
Fantasy Spin: Poteat started several games last season and the season before. He's not a particularly great corner, but he's steady. He could very well be the number two corner in 2008. View original story

Diehl signed to big deal
May 06, 8:05 PM ESPN reports that the Giants have signed left tackle David Diehl to a new six-year, $31 million contract.
Fantasy Spin: Diehl was only going to make $1.65 million in 2008, so he gets a nice raise with this new deal. The young, solid tackle is now under contract through the 2013 season, which is great news for Eli Manning and Brandon Jacobs. View original story
