Our sources tell us that 27 year old free agent acquisition Donte’ Stallworth is fully recovered from a hamstring injury that kept him out of the early part of training camp. We’re now hearing that the career underachiever is fitting in very well in Cleveland’s offense and developing great chemistry with Derek Anderson. Read more

Evans Has Chemistry With Edwards

Bills 27 year old fifth year WR Lee Evans has had a solid pro career thus far, despite not having much stability at the QB position. He began his career catching balls from veteran Drew Bledsoe, and has had to adjust to catching passes from J.P. Losman and Trent Edwards over the past two seasons. However, it looks like Evans and the Bills have finally found their fit in 2008. Read more

Shockey Traded, Fantasy Value Rises Huge…

It’s not very often that two of the NFL’s biggest names get traded within 24 hours of one another, but lucky us - it happened this week, as Washington acquired Pro Bowl defensive end Jason Taylor, and New Orleans saved Jeremy Shockey from a situation he did not want to be in. In this week’s stock market report, find out why fantasy owners of Taylor and Shockey should be just as happy about the moves. Read more

Fantasy Impact: KJ To Chicago

25 year old former Detroit Lions running back Kevin Jones signed a one year contract with the Chicago Bears on Tuesday afternoon. Now that he’s back on the fantasy radar, what’s Jones’ prognosis for 2008? Read more

Kevin Jones to visit Chicago

Kevin Jones (RB) 7/15: Kevin Jones will visit Halas Hall to take a physical for the Bears on Tuesday, according to the Chicago Tribune. His agent anticipates him landing in Chicago or Pittsburgh. No-Offseason Take: Chicago makes a heck of a lot more sense for KJ, in terms of being able to garner playing time, as he'd compete for snaps with rookie Matt Forte - who would still likely remain the favorite to start. Discuss this more in our forums.

Kevin Jones waiting for right situation

Kevin Jones (RB) 7/14: Free agent running back Kevin Jones commented (on Sirius NFL Radio) Monday that he'll wait for the right situation to arise before signing with a team, according to ESPN. No-Offseason Take: Jones is only 25, so to a certain extent, it makes sense for him to wait for the right situation to come along. Yet, at a certain point, he'll have to realize that with the free agent RB market so flooded right now, he'll have to take what he can get. He's made a lot of visits, but so far - no dice. Discuss this more on our forums.

Calvin & Roy To Enjoy 2008

Detroit Lions flankers Calvin Johnson and Roy Williams both watched a man referred to as an “offensive genius” and a “passing guru” walk out the door and head west this off-season, find out why our sources think they’ll be better off without him. Read more

Kevin Jones Update…

Updating a previous report, apparently several NFL teams have shown interest in Kevin Jones, who says he’s ready to play right now.

No-Offseason Take: We believe him, and this is another example of why the Lions shouldn’t have cut him. Word all along was that he’d be ready be training camp. Now, it appears he’ll end up in a plethora of places. Teams like Buffalo, New England, Green Bay, Tennessee and the New York Jets have reportedly shown interest, but we see a perfect fit being a place like Houston or Denver.

Kevin Jones Still Working Hard…

Former Lions RB Kevin Jones worked out on Thursday, running a 4.3 short shuttle, which is pretty impressive, compared to other young backs. The 25 year old Jones has a workout scheduled with scouts in Saline, Michigan on June 28, according to KFFL. Apparently, he’d be ready for non-contract drills with the team that signs him. We expect him to end up somewhere by training camp and slowly rebuild his fantasy value throughout the 2008 season.

KJ’s Agent Called Chicago Bears…

According to KFFL, Vaughn McClure, of the Chicago Tribune reports that Kevin Jones’ agent called the Chicago Bears immediately following the release of Cedric Benson. It’s unclear whether the Bears have interest in Jones.

This tells us a couple things - 1. KJ hasn’t really received any offers that he really, really likes yet. 2. He potentially hasn’t had any offers yet.

We believe he’ll end up somewhere in 2008, but it’s clear there’s doubt around the league regarding what he can contribute this season. That, or it free agent RB market is way too watered down right now. You’d think that Jones being only 25 years old, would be the first one to sign.

In other Bears RB news, back-up Adrian Peterson had his appendix removed yesterday, but should be 100 percent for the start of training camp - even more good news for rookie Matt Forte, who is expected to start Week 1 for Chicago.

Kevin Jones Still Searching For A Home…

Recent reports indicate that Kevin Jones is interested in playing for the Chicago Bears, now that Cedric Benson has been released. Jones reportedly looked phenomenal in a couple recent workouts, and believes he has value close to the $3 million range for a one-year deal. We’re not going to deny it, Jones probably would be a great fit in Chicago, and a nice insurance policy for rookie Matt Forte - who is likely to enter the season as Chicago’s starter.

Jones, along with Travis Henry, Shaun Alexander and Ron Dayne, still do not have homes, which is definitely making it harder for all of them to get a deal they want from a monetary standpoint. Each of them will likely have to take incentive-laden deals if they want to remain in the NFL.

Kevin Jones & Ron Dayne Update…

What’s up with the NFL’s two best free agent RBs? Sorry Shaun Alexander, we’re talking about Kevin Jones and Ron Dayne. Well, Jones has looked phenomenal in recent workouts, and has another one scheduled for June 28. He’s reportedly received offers from several teams, but nothing that has been the right fit for him. He’ll sign somewhere soon, and even though his dynasty value is basically shot, he’ll still be a deep sleeper in seasonal leagues.

Dayne will likely sign somewhere during training camp as well, but neither back is showing a sense of urgency.
