Henry release shakes up rankings
What a busy Monday I missed while flying back from the marathon! (Well, actually I got to follow along on the plane. God bless Jetblue.)
Pacman is back, Odell Thurman never will be, and T.O. got Randy Moss money. None of those three mean nearly as much as Travis Henry's release.
I break down the new Denver backfield in a quick column today. The Denver Post sees the situation the same way: Selvin Young is the favorite to start early, while Michael Pittman will play a backup role to the young Denver backs. Ryan Torain is a candidate to emerge as the leader, but it will probably be later than sooner. I can see them all being good fantasy values at the right price.
Just like the Javon Walker release, Mike Shanahan got personal when dismissing Henry. It's possible an altercation preceded the move, which would not help Henry find gainful employment quickly. Detroit, Cincy, and Houston all make logical fits, although the Texans backfield is crowded.

Dumping Henry just moves Young up the charts I don't know that it actually adds FF points to the position. Starting Denver RB is a 3rd to 4th tier regardless who they end up starting. Adam Jones has a legit shot at adding points for the Dallas Defense/Special Teams and moving them up into the top tier. Huge improvement at punt returns over Crayton and CB over Reeves. Adding potentially 4 TDs and 4 picks.
