Here are some fantasy updates:

It's starting to sound more and more like a running-back-by-committee situation in Dallas. Head coach Wade Phillips was talking up Tashard Choice after practice Friday morning, saying he'd like to see him play more. With Felix Jones and Marion Barber already in the mix, that hurts the fantasy value of all of them.

Baltimore's Willis McGahee did not practice Friday morning due to swelling in his knee. Regardless of McGahee's health, Ray Rice is entrenched as the team's No. 1 back and should be a Top 5 pick on draft day.

First-round draft choice C.J. Spiller of the Buffalo Bills has signed a five-year contract worth about $25 million. The running back is expected in camp today. Although Spiller is a talented back, Buffalo's offensive line is weak and he'll probably have to share time with Fred Jackson. Neither is a No. 1 or No. 2 fantasy back this year.


Reports from Chicago are that Bears wide receiver Johnny Knox is seeing a lot of action in training camp. Depending on how he looks in the preseason, Knox could have value as a No. 4 fantasy receiver.

The Philadelphia Eagles are backing off their early assessment of wide receiver's Jeremy Maclin's knee injury. It was originally announced that he'd be day-to-day, but not it looks as if he'll miss at least a few weeks. Unless the injury lingers into the regular season, Maclin should still be considered a solid No. 3 fantasy receiver.
