Rankings Changes
* The main questions heading into Sunday include Marvin Harrison's status, Travis Henry's ability to play, and the starting running back in Cleveland. Henry and Selvin Young owners are stuck in a tricky spot with a Monday night game. Here are the barely readable changes to the Week 8 Rankings. The changes are explained at Pancake Blocks.
Quarterbacks: Ben Roethlisberger up, Brian Griese up, Jon Kitna down, Philip Rivers up, Shaub down (game-time decision), Vinny Testaverde on the list.
Running Backs: Steven Jackson down a tad, Marshawn Lynch up. Travis Henry is way down. With a Monday night start, I don't see how you can use him unless you own Selvin Young as well, It's not an easy matchup, but Selvin owners who don't own Henry could consider him as a flex. He'd be a RB2 with Henry out, but I doubt we'll know what's up until Monday.
Maurice Jones-Drew is down, Jamal Lewis is down. I don't see much of a difference between Lewis and Jason Wright, so Wright would have roughly the same ranking as a starter. Frank Gore went down, Derrick Ward is off, Reuben Drougns is on the board. Dominic Rhodes and Vernand Morency are down, while Ryan Grant is on the board.
Wide Receivers: Packers receivers are up, Steve Smith is up, Marvin Harrison is way down, and Anthony Gonzalez is up.
Tight ends: LJ Smith is on the board, David Martin is off.
Update: Harrison is out. At least his owners know ahead of time.

I can't believe what a disappoint Harrison has been from last season. I picked him over guys like Wayne, Burress, TO, Housh, etc. He's done nothing this season! As my WR1, its really holding my team back.
Oh well. Hopefully he'll bounce back in the second half.

I'm glad the colts had the decency to declare him out today/tonight, since I'll be nowhere near a PC leading up to kickoff. If he played for the Pats... *shudder*
