May 17, 11:11 PM According to the Bears official web site, Bears head coach Lovie Smith has stated that running back Cedric Benson is still the starter, and that Matt Forte will have to earn his place on the depth chart.
Fantasy Spin: Forte should not have a lot to overcome to pass Benson, but Benson is at least going to get a shot to remain the starter. This will be a big camp battle for owners to follow. View original story

Buccaneers sign Askew to extension
May 15, 11:00 PM The Buccaneers have signed fullback B.J. Askew to a new five-year, $7.6 million contract that includes a $2 million signing bonus.
Fantasy Spin: Askew is purely a blocking fullback these days, but is a decent receiver out of the backfield as well. He was a Pro Bowl alternate in 2007, and is one of the best at his position. This bodes well for the Buc's running attack.

Garrard to work more on deep ball
May 15, 10:56 PM According to the Jaguars official website, the team's coaches are especially focusing on improving quarterback David Garrard's deep ball skills.
Fantasy Spin: This bodes well for Jerry Porter's fantasy value as well as Garrard's, but the Jaguars will remain a run-oriented offense. Still, they run the ball so well that the deep ball should be there often - this could be a breakout season for the offense.

Thomas and Pace starters for now
May 15, 10:51 PM The New York Daily News reports that linebackers Bryan Thomas and Calvin Pace were the Jets' starters at outside linebackers at the start OTAs.
Fantasy Spin: Pace should remain the starter come Week One, but Vernon Gholston should beat him out later this offseason. Problem is, Thomas has a $25 million deal, which means the Jets are facing a dilemma. Either they will trade Thomas, or we're looking at a rotation at outside linebacker. If the later, both player's value take a hit. View original story

Walker declares himself fully healed
May 15, 10:42 PM According to the Oakland Tribune reports that Raiders wide receiver Javon Walker is saying he returned too quickly from arthroscopic knee surgery last season, but that he is fully healthy now.
Fantasy Spin: This is promising news, but it's hard to justify using a high selection on Walker until we see him in preseason. For now he should be considered no better than a WR3 in all formats. View original story

Saints no longer pursuing Shockey
May 15, 10:38 PM The Bergen Record reports that Saints general manager Mickey Loomis said they are no longer pursuing a trade with the Giants for tight end Jeremy Shockey.
Fantasy Spin: It appears that the two sides reached an impasse, which is a shame. Shockey would have been a great fit in New Orleans, but should still be a top-10 fantasy option in New York. View original story

May 15, 3:28 PM The Florida Times-Union reports that Jaguars defensive tackle Rob Meier has signed a four-year contract extension that will keep him under contract through 2012
Fantasy Spin: Meier enters 2008 as a starter, so a new deal was in order for the former backup. This move should ensure stability along the defensive line for the next couple seasons. View original story

Redskins cut Mathis

Fantasy Spin: Mathis was a long shot to make the team, and was expendable after drafting two receivers high. Mathis' legal issues also made this an easy decision. View original story

Stewart to return kicks?
May 14, 10:19 PM Panthers coach John Fox told the media that running back Jonathan Stewart is the leading candidate to return kickoffs this year.
Fantasy Spin: Unless your league gives you points for return yardage, owners have to be groaning at this news. It means that Stewart is less likely to be used extensively in the offense as many hoped this year. Meanwhile, DeAngelo Williams owners have to quite pleased with this revelation. Still, don't panic as nothing has been settled yet, but take this news as a word of caution in being too greedy with your expectations.

Williams back and in great shape
May 14, 10:15 PM The Palm Beach Post reports that running back Ricky Williams is back, participating in offseason workouts, and looks better than ever. Williams has also revealed he expects the Dolphins to use a committee approach in the backfield.
Fantasy Spin: History says Ricky is right about the committee deal in Miami, which means Ronnie Brown's value takes a hit and Williams' is suddenly looking pretty decent. We've all been fooled before by Williams since his return, but it looks like he could be a legitimate fantasy option as a reserve in many fantasy formats. Brown owners should look to grab Williams as a handcuff.

Johnson spectacular in offseason work
May 14, 10:10 PM The Detroit News reports that wide receiver Calvin Johnson has looked very impressive in offseason work so far.
Fantasy Spin: As long as his back holds up, he is going to be a great option to own in leagues despite the lesser emphasis on the passing game this season. He's a risk as a WR1, but a stellar option as a WR2 in all leagues. View original story
