Fantasy Football -

Despite his alleged accuracy and poise in practice, a particularly poor outing (5-13, 34 yard, 1 INT) with the Lions' first unit seems to make QB Matthew Stafford the underdog in his training camp battle with Daunte Culpepper.

Fantasy Impact: Brady Quinn may be minus a target.Browns may have a major hole to fill.

I guess there were teams ready to take the risk. It appears T.O. has agreed to a one-year, $6.5 million deal with the Bills. They've planned a news conference for Saturday evening to officially announce it. Good luck Buffalo fans! [more ...]

Fantasy Impact: It's a one year contract and he just got booted from Dallas, so he'll be plenty motivated. The real question is whether he'll get the ball often enough.
