According to Rotoworld, Ravens RB Willis McGahee (knee) is active for Week 1.
FFX: According to the report, McGahee looked good in practice on Saturday, but it is still unclear if McGahee will start on Sunday. Being active doesn't necessarily mean that he will play, or play a lot. If we had to guess, Ray Rice is the safer start in Week 1, but it's just a guess at this point. You'd have to think that Rice will have to play a lot, even if McGahee does in fact play, plus... Cam Cameron is the type to commit to one running back and just rest his somewhat injured player. If you have a MUCH safer option, roll with it in Week 1, but know that this situation is only tricky in Week 1 - We stand by the McGahee/Rice combo in 2008 and it should produce top 8-10RB numbers at Week 16's end. If you don't have a MUCH safer option in Week 1, know that if Rice gets the start he should have a fine Week 1 outing. Keep checking back.
Eagles WR Reggie Brown is inactive for week 1. Other players listed as in active are: WR Demetrius Williams, TE Martrez Milner, WR Michael Clayton, WR Michael Bennett, WR Ernest Wilford, RB Gary Russell, WR Donnie Avery, WR Robert Meachem, TE Ben Watson.
The Denver Broncos locked up their most important free agent, reaching a five-year, $32 million deal with linebacker D.J Williams on Saturday.
According to GastonGazette.com's Steve Reed, Panthers RB DeAngelo Williams wil start in Week 1, but Reed expects Jonathan Stewart to get double-digit carries. The Panthers writer predicts Williams getting about 16 carries and Stewart around a 12.
FFX: That's a solid prediction by the Panthers writer. If you own both backs and have to decide to roll with just one of the two, Williams is the better start. Stewart is very capable and could excel down the stretch in 2008, but for now Williams has the advantage.
According to HoustonTexans.com's Brooke Bentley, Texans RB Ahman Green (hamstring) will start Week 1 and could get up to 15 carries in the contest.
FFX: We have no hardcore proof on this, but we suspect that Steve Slaton is going to steal the show in Week 1. Green could get those 15 carries that this Texans writer projects, but we have a feeling that Green won't be up for the task. Green has been hammered with injuries over the past few seasons, so it's hard to imagine him staying healthy at all this season. Anything is possible, but Slaton is one of our super-sleeper candidates this season. If you own Slaton, also consider rostering Chris Taylor - The combo could prove to be a very decent flex-option when all is said and done in 2008.
