Is Saints RB Pierre Thomas going to lose carries (and fantasy value) to Mike Bell the rest of the season? It could happen.

Check out my fantasy spin on the news and notes from the most pressing injuries around the league, including LaDainian Tomlinson and Randy Moss.

Fantasy owners need to monitor the backfield situation in New Orleans very closely this week.

Philadelphia Eagles CB Asante Samuel has left today’s game for the second time due to injury, this time an apparent problem with his head or neck.

If the preseason told us anything, it told us that the New Orleans Saints are for real. They went out and started to prove it in Week 1.

A quick spin around some match-ups as kickoff appraoches. The Browns held another negotiating session with WR Josh Cribbs, with a face-to-face session with his agent conducted Saturday in Cleveland. The sides continue to make “good progress” toward a deal.

The fantasy football season is here! Rejoice! Have fun, talk trash, but don’t overthink your starting lineup! Consider this your fantasy football intervention.

Sharing that perspective with The Associated Press on Tuesday, the running back recalled his experience of gaining too much weight and becoming a cancer to his team in Denver before being released.

A few observations from the game between the Saints and Texans, including how Drew Brees is a bonafide candidate for league MVP and Mario Williams is ready to launch his career to a higher level.

Pierre Thomas has rushed for 53 yards on eight carries in the first half against the Lions, but he’s lost goal-line carries (and touchdown opportunities) to Deuce McAllister andMike Bell.
