Rankings changes
Fun week. The one in which Season Pass and Draft Guide collide, the last drafts of the year, some new work responsibilties, and wife's graduation from Culinary School to boot. (Congrats!). And now we get to the fun stuff. The final rankings are up, and here are the changes:
RB: Jamal Lewis is down and Jerome Harrison is up. Even if Lewis plays, he's not at 100% in a tough matchup. ... Willis McGahee is down and Ray Rice is up. If McGahee is active, though, I'd avoid using either Raven as a RB2. ... Willie Parker is up, with Rashard Mendenhall down. For now, the rookie doesn't appear to be a huge threat. ... Kevin Smith moved up. For this week anyhow, I had him too low. I don't expect Rudi Johnson to have a huge role.
WRs:Antonio Bryant moved up. You knew that was happening. ... Patrick Crayton moved up a bit. ... DeSean Jackson and Hank Baskett got a boost with Reggie Brown off the list. Jackson is still a rookie, though. And still a poor WR4. ... Javon Walker's poor hammy helps Ronald Curry. ... Matt Jones is back on the board with Jerry Porter out. Jones is worth a look in deep leagues. Deeeep leagues people.
TEs: Ben Watson is off.
Here's the official injury report.

Man, everyone is big on Crayton this week, but I'm already starting T.O. Do I double up and put Crayton in the flex or do I go with DeSean Jackson instead? First week of the season I hate to put multiple eggs in one basket.

Anon: Play Crayton. He has a great matchup and you are taking a gamble by putting your hopes in the hands of a rookie.

Hey Gregg,
In the Season Pass Oracle report, what does the "TS" metric mean? It doesn't seem to be tied directly to FP or PPR.

Brent: You are not crazy. Actually, I think you are but I am just telling you what you want to hear. I think Bryant has an intriguing match up. I don't think you can go wrong with either of those guys though.
