Post Week 1 Injury Updates - Colston out, V. Young just out of it

Week 1 has been completed. We lose Marques Colston 4-6 weeks due to a thumb injury. Devery Henderson’s value spikes and look for a possible promotion for Robert Meachem at WR with Terrance Copper and Lance Moore also getting playing time. Vince Young was injured both physically and reportedly mentally. Claims are that fans who booed him after two interceptions really bothered him and have questioned his desire to keep playing. Anyway, Tennessee has signed Chris Simms who might emerge as the starter while Young is recouping.

Tom Brady has cracked foot, door might be open for Cassel

According to many news reports, Tom Brady has a cracked in his right foot. Ealrier reports in the year had this injury as only a deep bruise. No one is conforming the severity of this injury and Brady says he WILL start week 1. However, he hasn’t played in any preseason games so far and should he seriously injure the foot further in a regular game, Cassel will no doubt be the clear starter until Brady recovers. Anyone who has a space on their roster or a player will little upside may want to invest in Matt Cassel now. This is a low risk, high reward situation that can help your team or be a trade piece for someone else.

Rudi Johnson signs with Detroit Lions

It didn’t take long for R. Johnson to catch on somewhere else. Detroit tired of a worn out Tatum Bell and a lack of complete faith in Kevin Smith will add Rudi Johnson to the backfield mix as insurance. Smith I assume still has to be the #1 starter in Detroit though. Still, he is worth a free agent pick up to replace Bell or whoever is weak in the RB category.
