Ricky Williams has to be in the top-five active players in terms of total Rotoworld posts. As I wrote the news today that Williams failed another drug test, I surprisingly was a little depressed that he may be done with the NFL. He's certainly done with the Dolphins.

That doesn't mean the posts will slow down anytime soon. We will cover the inevitable appeals and applications for reinstatement. But we doubt the NFL will let him back into the league this year. If he was suspended for a year for missing a test, then fails another during the year, why would Roger Goodell let him back in the league? Even if Goodell did let Williams back, the season will already be under way and teams may not want to take the chance.

Williams will be 31 years old in 2008 and we're guessing he'll have missed two straight NFL seasons. He's certainly still talented enough to be a quality backup and he needs the money, so Ricky is not going to give up. But the NFL may give up on him. It's a new era and pot-addled oddballs don't fit in.

For fantasy leaguers (knew I'd get here eventually), this news means that Ronnie Brown should get drafted somewhere in the top 30 picks. We have him graded as a high RB2, a borderline second round pick. Lorenzo Booker becomes his clear backup and an interesting prospect in his own right.

Perhaps Brown will have a better career than Williams, although he has a ways to go. But there's no chance Brown will be as interesting as Ricky. Williams started his career in a wedding dress and may have been on his yoga treat Friday when it ended.
