NFL and Fantasy Football Player updates

-Should you move Ray Rice up your draft board, talk is out of him getting lots of GL carries. I am not buying it. Ricky Williams will vulture some of those. Sure Rice has lost Le Ron Mcclain as FB but he gained Vonta Leach perhaps the best FB in the NFL (bet Arian Foster will miss him). I like Rice 3rd or 4th (behind JC and AP) in a PPR league

-Chris Johnson is still holding out with no contract in sight. Drop CJ to 8th or 9th and hope for a quick settlement. If you avoid him until the 2nd round it will not be uncalled for as holdouts have a tendency to get hurt once they come back to contact with 300lb defensive players.

-Sleepers on the move:
1) Denarius Moore OAK WR (rookie) There may not be anyone else to catch balls on day one in OAK. Injuries are piling up there and this rook has impressed.
2) Andre Roberts AZ WR Seems to be the Steve Breaston replacement
3) Johnny Knox CHI WR Rumors of his death (demotion for Roy Williams) may have been premature. May be the man again in Chicago
4) Greg Olsen CAR TE With a inexperienced QB (take your pick which one) it will mean more check downs and Olsen has the skill set and is young enough (opposed to J Shockey) to make some noise
5) Colt McCoy QB CLE What is not to like. The Browns will be behind all season long. Lots of passes and FF points.
