Housh, Leinart are back in the fold

It didn't take long for wide receiver T.j. Houzhmandzadeh to find a new home. He was cut at the start of the weekend and quickly signed with the Baltimore Ravens. It will probably take him a while to develop chemistry and timing with quarterback Joe Flacco so you might want to keep him on your bench until they start clicking.

Quarterback Matt Leinart also found a new team quickly. He has been signed by the Houston Texans as their No. 3 quarterback and has no fantasy value.

Veteran running back Julius Jones was the odd-man out in Seattle's running-back-by-committee (RRBC). He was released on Sunday and has yet to sign with another team. This bumps up the value of both Justin Forsett and Leon Washington.

The RBBC in Washington is also a lot more clear. Willie Parker was released and Ryan Torain was released and then re-signed to the practice squad. That leaves Clinton Portis as the primary ball carrier and Larry Johnson as the first back-up.


Although he has only been there a short while, reports from San Diego are that Patrick Crayton is making a strong bid for extended playing time. Keep the wideout on you bench until you see where he settles in the pecking order of quarterback Phillip Rivers. Josh Reed was the casualty of the Crayton trade as the Chargers have released him.

Giants running back Andre Brown was released over the weekend by was signed right away by the Denver Broncos. He's too low on the Broncos depth chart to have any value at this time.

St. Louis has named rookie Sam Bradford as its starter for Week 1. The rookie may have value as a back-up quarterback depending on how quickly he progresses.
