Depth Chart Day
The NFL mandates that NFL teams release a depth chart Monday for the purposes of alerting preseason opponents. Coaches enjoy making August depth charts about as much as revealing injury information, but the results are sometimes telling.
Charlie Frye was listed ahead of Derek Anderson in Cleveland.
Cecil Sapp was ahead of Mike Bell in Denver. The Broncos were one of the first teams to post the depth chart on their official website.
The Packers are also up-to-date. Robert Ferguson is listed on the third team, which doesn't speak well for his chances to make the team.

Tiffany and I projected where a number of fantasy stars should get drafted on today's fantasy fix.
Comments
You've mentioned the Cecil Sapp vs. Mike Bell situation in Denver, but how bizarre is this storyline? I mean, there's no chance Sapp stays at #2 going into the season, right? This is just another Shanny gimmick, right?
I think what's more interesting is the possibility of Sapp stealing goal-line work from Henry and Bell stealing 3rd down work. There's been a groundswell of Travis Henry love going on lately, but I remain skeptical.

Saap was a good player at Oregon (I believe) - didn't he split carries up there with our old friend and former vikes rb "steal of the draft" - Onterio Smith?

It wouldn't shock me to see Sapp remain number 2. Sapp was an excellent tailback at Colorado St and is much a better blocker and pass catcher than Bell. Keep in mind, this is the same coach who promoted two other fullbacks who had successful seasons. Mike
Anderson and Reuben Droughns. I drafted Sapp in the 15th round of an 18 round experts league. He could be had CHEAP. With a good showing on Monday night, the Broncos' first preseason game, Sapp's value however, could skyrocket in fantasy drafts and be drafted right after the likes of L. Betts and M. Turner.
