Some things we've learned today
Ronnie Brown has the talent to be a #1 fantasy RB. Now it's just a matter of whether he can maintain the motivation to perform to his potential all season on a bad team.

This is why you don't trade guys on the basis of two bad games. It looks like Cam Cameron's Jesse Chatman bluff is paying off; Brown's finally running like a man with a job to lose.
I'm stunned by how personable and interesting Keyshawn Johnson has suddenly become on Sunday NFL Countdown. Where did that come from? He went from terrible and nervous every time I've seen him to completely confident on-camera. Weird.
Jake Delhomme: The Charlotte Observer sounds pretty sure that he won't start.
In case you were too lazy to check our Injury Report (or any site's report for that matter), you need to be aware the Javon Walker and Hines Ward are both OUT this week. Both are suffering from knee injuries and will be unavailable for this week, so look for an immediate replacement. On their respective teams, the players that will benefit the most are WR Brandon Marshall (woot! woot!), WR Brandon Stokely (Denver) and WR Santonio Holmes, TE Heath Miller and WR Nate Washington (PIT). Let's see how my boy B. Marshall performs as the number one receiver in the offense...maybe he won't give it back to Walker! As of now, both Walker and Ward are expected to play next week, but check back to see their status after this weekend.
