Ahman Green Isn’t Reliable…

And so it begins, Texans 31 year old RB Ahman Green is already missing practices due to illness. Green has been injury prone for the last five seasons, and cannot be counted on in 2008, despite the optimism of head coach Gary Kubiak.

A sleeper RB will emerge in 2008, whether it be Chris Taylor, Chris Brown, Steve Slaton or Darius Walker.

Steve Slaton Fumbles Frequently…

Apparently, Texans rookie RB Steve Slaton has fumbled several times at recent rookie mini-camps, a problem he apparently had at West Virginia. Texans coaches don’t seem too concerned at this point, as Slaton is slated to see a decent role in that offense this year.

Remember This Name - Chris Taylor…

We’re starting to really jock Chris Taylor. Texans RBs Ahman Green and Chris Brown are fully healthy right now, so they’ll be the favorites for carries heading into the season. However, they both have a history of not being able to finish seasons - aka - HUGE injury problems.

Look out for Taylor and rookie Steve Slaton has major sleepers in deep leagues.
