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.
Fantasy Fix Live Sunday at 11AM.

Antonio Bryant instead of Laverneaus Coles?
I prefer to make starts based on quarterbacks. Do you want Brett Farvre throwing the ball to your Wide Receiver or Jeff Garcia?
No contest. I'd want Brett Farvre heaving the ball and so I'd start Coles.

Here is my week one Phoney Maroney nominee list (given to the hyped up worthless zero TD Fantasy player on my 3 teams):
Marques Colston
Braylon Edwards
Tony Gonzalez
T.J. Houshmanzadeh
Brandon Jacobs
Calvin Johnson
Jamal Lewis
Chad Ocho Cinco
Donte Stallworth
Ladanian Tomlinson
Unfortunately for some of you I also own Cutler. Looks like a zero TD game is for sure.
I'll be 0-3 after tomorrow night in my 3 leagues due to them and the efforts of Willie Parker and Michael Turner.
Here's a toast to my 2 td's so far...Jerricho Cotchery and Chris Johnson. I will show them mercy by trading them soon.
Phoney Maroney
