Stay up to date with the news. It’s almost as important as understanding your scoring system heading into the draft.
These guys are losing value and sinking down my boards:
* Daniel Thomas, RB, MIA — He’s faceplanted in camp and Reggie Bush has won the feature back role.
* Ryan Grant, RB, GB — Losing ground to James Starks and reportedly doesn’t look like his old self.
* Ryan Torain, RB, WAS — Until Torain can get healthy (never?), the starter is Tim Hightower and the backup is Roy Helu.
* Peyton Manning, QB, IND — It’s not just Manning’s neck that has me worried. It’s his declining No. 1 receiver and woeful offensive line as well.
* Chad Ochocinco, WR, NE — According to observers, Ocho has flat-out “sucked” in the preseason. Aaron Hernandez and Rob Gronkowski are better weapons for Tom Brady.
* Arian Foster, RB, HOU — These hamstring woes can be nagging. In a PPR league, I don’t blame anyone for taking Ray Rice ahead of him.
