For many of you, your draft is over. Hopefully, you did well in stacking your team for the coming season. The bad news is the preseason isn't over yet, so injuries can still occur. But most teams don't play many of their top players this last preseason game. The so-called dress rehearsal for the season takes place the third preseason game. Hopefully, nothing of note takes place this last week. As for the notes from this past week, below is the latest from around the league. The season is nearing!
Texans running back Arian Foster keeps looking better and better. Not only did he have a monster preseason game this past weekend (110 yards in about a half of play), but backup Steve Slaton now has turf toe. Foster could get even more work early in the season with Slaton hurting. Foster is quickly ascending our rankings and is worthy of No. 2 back status in nearly all formats. He is the real deal in a great offense.
The quarterback situation in Arizona remains sketchy. Both guys played similarly in their last preseason game, but Derek Anderson got the starting nod, which is a decent sign he has moved ahead of Matt Leinart on the depth chart. Anderson gives the Cardinals are bigger threat for the big play, but will make more mistakes than Leinart. But Leinart is conservative and won't take a ton of chances downfield. Right now, Anderson is our quarterback to draft in Arizona but don't expect much. These guys could flip flop throughout the season.
Rookie Tim Tebow looks to be making his move at quarterback, possibly moving ahead of Brady Quinn on the Broncos depth chart. Tebow threw a terrible interception Sunday night, but also led the Broncos on an impressive scoring drive. He got time with the second unit before Quinn, who got a little playing time late in the game and didn't do much. Don't be surprised to see Tebow open as the top backup to Kyle Orton . [Full Story]
