According to ChicagoBears.com, Bears RB Cedric Benson is currently the team's starting running back. Bears head coach Lovie Smith had this to say on the matter during an email question & answers session with fans on ChicagoBears.com: "Cedric was our starter last year, and he’s our starter right now."

FFX: Look, we're penciling Forte in as the Bears starter. Benson could surprise us, but we doubt it. He is reportedly a step slower due to his injury, and metal plate in his leg, so it's only a matter of time before Forte gets the keys handed to him for the starting gig. If for some reason the Bears limit Forte's carries early on during the 2008 season, we still believe that the rookie will be getting starter-type carries by Week 5 or Week 6.

According to Sportsline.com, Chargers RB LaDainian Tomlinson is fully recovered from his MCL injury that he suffered last season. "I'm running and cutting and everything is good," he said. "I'm ready to go."

FFX: We get emails all the time asking us why we have Tomlinson as our #2 overall ranked dynasty player. Tomlinson is only 28, and while he turns 29 just before the 2008 NFL Season begins, keep in mind that Priest Holmes posted 1,615 rushing yards, 672 receiving yards and 24TDs back in 2002, when he was 29 years of age. The following season, when Holmes was 30 going on 31, he posted 1,420 rushing yards, 690 receiving yards and 27TDs (2003). Granted Tomlinson has carried the football over 300 times in all seven of his NFL seasons, but he has been relatively healthy for seven straight years and takes fewer hits than most overworked rushers, especially entering the end zone. Tomlinson has at least two years left as a top 5 overall pick... two years is a long time, which is why he is our #2 overall ranked player looking forward.
