What we learned: Chiefs minicamp
Mandatory minicamp is often the final place to take stock of what, if anything, has changed before training camp. I'll occasionally take a look at the main points fantasy leaguers learned from finished minicamps.
1. Larry Johnson is healthy enough to practice every day
It's practically the only information we need to know about this Chiefs offseason. Contact work, of course, is a whole different matter. But L.J. has recovered as well as can be expected. That doesn't mean we are taking him in the top-20 picks.
2. The starting wideout spot is even more wide open than we thought.
Which makes sense when Devard Darling is the presumptive leader. Marcus Price, Will Franklin, and Jeff Webb are also in the mix.
3. Damon Huard could be traded
Not a huge fantasy impact here, but the Chiefs look fully prepared to go with Brodie Croyle and Tyler Thigpen as their top two quarterbacks. Teams in need of a trusty veteran arm could do a lot worse than Thigpen.

Another thing I learned last night at Shea, possibly my fiiting goodbye to the stadium: Trash storms are memorable.

hahahaha@ LJ not being top 20... thats CRAZY to me
LJ is admittedly a traditionally slow starter... who also held out last year... so he came in last year and had 3 bad games in a row... and everyone seems to only rememeber those... but after LJ's 1st 3 games what happened??
3 of his next 4 games he went over a 100 yards... then in his final game where he was hurt he was at 95 total yards with 2 TD's...
he basically had 4 good games and 4 bad games.... but the 4 good games came within his last 5 games... he averaged over 105 total yards and had 4 TD's in those 5 games... and that includes his 15 total yard game against jacksonville... how is that not productive??? how is that not top 20??... if you excluse the j-ville nghtmare game then in his last 4 he was averagin 130 totals yards per game and a TD....again... hahahaha@ LJ isn't top 20... but like Dox said... I hope you all pass on him... please
