Giants signed Burress to new deal?
Aug 27, 2:49 PM The New York Daily News is reporting that Giants and Plaxico Burress agreed to a new contract two weeks ago. Neither party is acknowledging any such development.
Fantasy Spin: He did return to practice this week, and indications are everyone is keeping quiet until a formal announcement is made. Either way, things seem to be fine for Burress and the team.

Merriman will play in 2008
Aug 27, 2:40 PM According to FOX Sports, Chargers linebacker Shawne Merriman has decided to ignore his doctors' advice and play in 2008.
Fantasy Spin: This is an extremely foolish move on his part, as he is risking his career. We still cannot recommend drafting him.

Merriman emphatically told to have surgery
Aug 27, 10:49 AM The San Diego Union-Tribune reports that all four doctors consulted agree he should have surgery on his knee immediately.
Fantasy Spin: They all told him he could play, but that he would be severely limited and would threaten his career. Expect Merriman to listen and not play in 2008. Jyles Tucker would take over as the starter in his place.

Douglas traded to Baltimore
Aug 27, 10:45 AM Only four month after signing him, the Buccaneers have traded defensive end Marques Douglas to the Ravens for a late-round pick in 2009 and a conditional draft pick in 2010.
Fantasy Spin: Douglas replaces Dwan Edwards, who was lost for the season. Douglas actually had two earlier stints with Baltimore, but never really played. He should see some action as a situational run defender after tallying 12 stuffsin San Francisco last season.

Harvey ends holdout
Aug 27, 8:47 AM The Jaguars have signed first-round defensive end Derrick Harvey to a five-year, $33.4 million contract with $17.175 million in guaranteed money and $23.8 million in salary.
Fantasy Spin: He's missed too much time to be a real IDP threat to Reggie Hayward and Quentin Groves this season, but he could make an impact as a situational rusher.

Boller out for the season?
Aug 27, 8:44 AM The Carrol County Times reports that there are many in the Ravens organization who fear quarterback Kyle Boller may be done for the season with what has become a serious shoulder injury.
Fantasy Spin: The Ravens appear likely to be in the hunt either for John Beck or Chris Simms, or else they will be scouring the waiver wire. Either way, it looks like he is probably out of the running to start again.

Manning expects to be ready for Week 1
Aug 27, 7:09 AM Peyton Manning says he'll be ready for Week 1 of the regular season. The Colts quarterback was removed from the PUP list and returned to practice on Tuesday for the first time since undergoing surgery on July 14 to remove an infected bursa sac from his left knee. "This is a significant step for me to be out there on the practice field," Manning told the Indianapolis Star. "If things go as we hope they do and expect they do, then I definitely see myself practicing full time next week and playing against the Bears." Head coach Tony Dungy says he doesn't want to push Manning too hard, but acknowledges that he has been expecting him to be ready for Week 1 all along.
Fantasy Spin: Some of us never lost faith that Peyton would be fine, even in the face of all those wild rumors last week about a second surgery and uncontrollable swelling in his knee. Those fantasy owners who nabbed Manning on the cheap because of the unconfirmed speculation are to be congratulated. View original story

Berrian won't play in preseason finale
Aug 27, 7:04 AM Vikings wide receiver Bernard Berrian will not play in their preseason finale Thursday against the Cowboys because of his lingering toe injury, according to the Minneapolis Star Tribune. This means he will only have three series worth of preseason action under his belt when the season starts.
Fantasy Spin: Berrian is back in practice, but the Vikings will not use any starters in their final exhibition game. His fantasy value is suffering because of the uncertainty regarding his status. View original story

White and Johnson to split touches
Aug 27, 5:26 AM The Nashville Tennessean reports that Tennessee Titans head coach Jeff Fisher has decided that running backs LenDale White and rookie Chris Johnson will split touches almost 50-50 this season (60-40 at least).
Fantasy Spin: This is either good news or bad news, depending on how you look at it. White should continue to get the majority of carries, and this should help him remain healthier throughtout the season. However, he is losing touches, which is never a good thing. Johnson owners have to be pretty pleased with themselves, as this validates Johnson as a prominent fixture in the offense.

Grant to see fewer carries
Aug 26, 10:12 PM Per the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, the Green Bay Packers intend to reduce the number of carries running back Ryan Grant receives this season.
Fantasy Spin: Be still the beating hearts of fantasy owners everywhere! Brandon Jackson will steal more carries, but Grant is expected to see more work in the passing game. It should all balance out, so owners should not get too anxious. View original story

Aug 26, 10:07 PM Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis has announced that rookie wide receiver Jerome Simpson is set to be the No. 3 wide receiver.
Fantasy Spin: A big jump for a rookie who was thought not quite ready at the start of camp. He suddenly has some fantasy value, at least until Chris Henry is back Week 5. View original story
