Lions, Cowboys, and Steelers

Today's scouting reports from MLive.com about Shaun McDonald and Mike Furrey confirm what shay bets they are in fantasy leagues. McDonald is the third receiver, Furrey the fourth. But if Calvin Johnson or Roy Williams get hurt, Furrey is likely to replace them in the starting lineup. With Mike Martz gone, the third receiver won't be worth drafting. So forget McDonald. And Furrey is only worth a look if an injury strikes.

News from Adam Schefter that the Cowboys are eyeing Joe Horn. This makes no sense and smacks of Jerry Jones just looking for a big name. Horn isn't good enough to contribute in Atlanta. He's not close to the receiver Patrick Crayton is. This would be a mistake, and not just because the Cowboys are already fine at No. 2 receiver.

Najeh Davenport is being shopped. I don't think the Steelers will find a taker, but it's just another guy who might get a job ahead of Shaun Alexander or Travis Henry.
Update: He's been dumped

Horny in Dallas. Anybody? C'mon, that's gold Greg, gold!
I can't imagine what Tony Romo's life would be dealing with TO AND Joe Horn on the field barking for the ball. Yikes.
The Lions starting WR's for 2009: Calvin Johnson and Mike Furrey.
With Davenport on the way out, that just gives Mendenhall even more of an opportunity to be fantasy relevant this year.
