Parker, Holt on the bubble

Here are a few more fantasy updates:

Those fantasy players hoping for a comeback year from former Pittsburgh running back Willie Parker should probably look elsewhere. Washington released its unofficial depth chart Monday and Parker was listed as the No. 4 back. Right now it looks as if Clinton Portis will be the primary carrier and Larry Johnson will be the back-up.

The same is true for veteran wideout Torry Holt in New England. Some fantasy players thought quarterback Tom Brady might make Holt valuable again, but the receiver has shown little in training camp, There's a good possibility he won't make the team.

In Chicago, veteran Devin Hester is nursing a hamstring strain and that has led to more opportunities for Devin Aromashodu and Johnny Knox at the wide receiver position.If one or both ends up as a starter, they are both decent sleeper candidates. 


Updating an injury report from last week, Atlanta's No. 2 receiver Michael Jenkins suffered a shoulder injury that will force him to be out 4-6 weeks. That means he will likely miss the season-opener.

Detroit's rookie running back Jahvid Best has been impressive in training camp and the Lions can't wait to unleash him. The team should know a lot more about Best and the team's offensive line after he takes a few hits in a preseason game. Right now, Best is considered a low-end No. 2 or strong No. 3 fantasy back.

Ahmad Bradshaw may be moving ahead of Brandon Jacobs in the battle for the New York Giants' starting running back spot. Bradshaw has been getting the majority of work with the first unit in training camp. Whoever wins the spot will have value as a No. 3 fantasy back.
