Even if he isn't on the field for every down in the beginning of the season, he should be a situational pass rusher at worst this year. He is an exceptional pass rusher, and he could hold some value in IDP leagues, especially if he wins the job.

Vick's NFL status for this season is very much in doubt, and at this point the best move for Vick seems to be the UFL. He can showcase himself in a competitve setting, and more importantly he can do it at the quarterback position. We will keep you updated on the situation.

McGinest is nearing the end of his career, and the Pats don't want to bring him in if he can't help the team. Look for McGinest to end up elsewhere, but it is doubtful he will impact any fantasy format.

Eli is asking for a king's ransom, but the Giants are determined to keep the face of their franchise happy and will surely do so without a hitch.

Cook has turned heads in practice with fantastic catches, and the Titans intend to use his size (6-5, 246 pounds) and good athletic ability to create mismatches. He should register a blip on the fantasy radar as a rookie, but his playing time will be limited while stuck behind Bo Scaife and Alge Crumpler on the depth chart at tight end. He is worth targeting in keeper leagues.

Toomer is listed high on a few NFL teams' emergency list among free agent receivers. He should find work for the 2009 campaign, while there is belief that Harrison may be done and may not even want to resume his career as a reserve.

Perry was absent from his June 17 hearing. He will hold no fantasy value for 2009 while playing with Orlando of the UFL.

Dawson covets a new contract, and there is belief he will not kick until he gets one. The Browns signed free agent kicker Parker Douglass earlier in the offseason for insurance.

Lopez will get the start on Friday night in place of the injured Antonio Bastardo. To make room for Lopez the Phillies designated Jack Taschner for assignment.

McClouth missed the last five games with a strained hamstring, but is up to snuff now and returns to action against the Nationals. The Braves were 4-1 while he was out.

Soriano was given a couple days off due to his recent struggles. The former fantasy stalwart has been miserable lately. He's zero for his last 12 and hasn't homered since June 7th.

Friday's start was a nice rebound for Soup, who had allowed 12 runs in his last 10.2 innings. Still his start was against the anemic Cubs' offense, so don't get too excited yet.

Big Z only struck out three in the game, but delivered at the plate once again. He was 1-for-2 and drove in the Cubs only run of the first nine innings. Zambrano now has six quality starts in his last seven outings.

Fox has been getting pretty regular playing time since June 17th and is showing the Cubs that he deserves to stick around. The kid has a .302 average with three homers and 13 RBI.

Manager Don Wakamatsu said, "He looks as good as I've seen him." Looks like Bedard should be god to go for his return start on Tuesday. Don't expect him to go more than six innings though. Even when he's healthy that's a rarity.

Barring any setbacks, DeRosa looks to be ready for the first place series against the Brewers on Tuesday. Owners should monitor his progress, but can feel reasonably safe about inserting him into lineups next week.

The Blazers and Turkoglu's representation have both refused to confirm the alleged agreement. It will still likely get done, but nothing will be official until July 8th anyway. Still, as of right now, no deal.

Sounds like Wallace is keeping his options open. He likely doesn't want to commit to Boston with other interested parties that could potentially offer more cash. The Magic, Spurs, Cavs and Bobcats are rumored to be interested.

The Blazers have been courting Turkoglu since he hit the market, so this doesn't come as a big surprise. He should make a young, up-and-coming Blazers' team even better next season, and he should be a strong fantasy play.

This signing comes at a strange time, with the summer league not having started yet. With several guards on the depth chart in front of him, it seems unlikely he will see much of the court. There is always a possibility that this was done because the Pistons plan to trade him, but they would have to wait 30 days due to an NBA rule.

This is not a 100 percent done deal, but it looks to be very close to it. With the recent signing of Ron Artest, the Lakers may be the favorites to repeat next season, and Phil isn't going to walk away from the talent on this team. We will keep you updated on his status.

Starbury was apparently a little insulted by being offered the veteran minimum, because he said goodbye to Boston as soon a he got word. It may be a stretch to say that three teams will be willing to give him decent money, but we will have to see where he ends up.

It seems likely that Big Baby will end up staying in Boston for next season, but the Pistons seem very interested in his services. He could also fit well with the Spurs, but until something happens it would be smart to assume he will stay in Boston.

Terms of the deal were not disclosed. Ariza's curious spurning of the Lakers appears to be mostly motivated by money, and he is now joining a team that will be without its three top players from 2008-09 for most of the season. He should not be an impact fantasy player.

The deal will pay Clowe just over $3.5 million per season. The 26-year old forward is coming off a career-high 22 goals and 52 points. He was a restricted free agent and the Sahrks did well to lock up the talented young scorer.

Fedotenko tallied 39 points in 65 games last season, and he was pretty solid in the postseason as well. He is worth a look in deeper fantasy leagues, especially with all of the talent around him in Pittsburgh.

Hnidy isn't much of an offensive threat, but he is a solid, tough defenseman who should see some decent ice time. He has very little fantasy value due to his lack of scoring, so no need to give him much of a look.

Locke is a former Canadien Hockey League player of the year, and he could be a decent player if he gets a chance. He has no fantasy value, as he will likely start the season in the minors.

The Red Wings were hoping to bring Samuelsson back, but he opted to go with the Canucks. Samuelsson was a nice player in Detroit, and he should be surrounded by some solid talent in Vancouver as well. 40-50 points is not out of the question for next season.

Arnason tallied 22 points in 71 games with Colorado last season, and he finished with a -16 ranking on the year. His numbers should improve playing on a better team, but he is still not an offensive force.

This signing seems to indicate that the Wings plan on keeping Leino in Detroit, as he said he will return to Europe if they send him to the AHL. Leino's fantasy value will depend on his playing time, but he has shown some offensive talent so he may be worth a look.

Selanne has hinted at retirement over the last few years, but he has never made a definitive statement. This seems like the real deal, so all Selanne fans may want to watch as many games as possible this year. He will still have fantasy value next season, so give him a look at draft time.

Despite being eligible to race Saturday at Daytona, Mayfield stated that he likely won't be able to get the funds together to do so unless another team offers him a ride. NASCAR has sent Mayfield's sample to an independent testing agency for further evaluation, and the results of that test will likely determine where this story goes from here.

Logano stayed out and conserved fuel, hoping that the rain would come before his gas tank ran dry. He got his wish, and the race was called on lap 273 with Logano out front. This marks the second straight season that rain has produced a surprise winner at the track.

Busch got by teammate and pole-sitter Joey Logano with 36 laps left and hung on for his first win at the Magic Mile. He became the 23rd different winner in as many races at the track.

The No. 14 pulled the engine from their primary car to the backup car prior to the announcement that qualifying was canceled. This will allow Stewart to remain at the front of the field for the start of Sunday's race. He won at Pocono in a backup car earlier this season.

It was an improbable victory considering Kahne had never finished better than 23rd at the track, but he led the final 38 laps and held off Stewart on several late restarts. It was his first victory since Pocono last June and the first victory for Richard Petty Motorsports. Kahne moved to 13th in the standings.

Keselowski has made it known that he wants to race full-time in the Cup Series. Hendrick Motorsports cannot sign him directly because of the four-car limit that will go into effect next year. Possible options include having Keselowski sign with a team affiliated with HMS such as Stewart-Haas Racing or James Finch's team. The other possibility would be moving his current JR Motorsports team from the Nationwide Series to the Cup Series.

Edwards started at he rear of the field after missing qualifying because of Cup Series practice at Infineon. He quickly worked his way into the top 10 and took the lead for good with 44 laps to go.

Nemechek has received equipment from Red Bull Racing in the past and had some incentive to make the deal. The move gives Speed the chance to continue to grow his skills, but it doesn't help him in his quest to climb into the top 35 in owner points. Speed has experience as a road racer in Formula 1, but has never made a road course start in the Cup Series.

Kim hit 17 GIR and took just 27 putts, an incredible ratio that proves that he's back on top of his game, particularly since it comes on the heels of strong outing at the U.S. Open and Travelers. Kim's eight birdies gives him a two-stroke clubhouse lead as the afternoon wave plays. The old course record was 63, established by Tom Pernice, Jr. in the second round of last year's AT&T, then matched by Peter Lonard in the final round.

Woods had all phases of his game on display today. He found 12 (of 14) fairways, 15 GIR and took just 27 putts, carding seven birdies along the way. The last time Woods went as low as 64 was in the 3rd round of the 2007 TOUR Championship at East Lake GC, also a par 70.

Points hit 13 (of 14) fairways, 13 GIR and needed only 25 putts at Congressional. He finished within an hour before Anthony Kim broke the course record, but Points' 64 has held up thus far as runner-up in the clubhouse.

Watson started on the back and was 5-over-par at the turn. He had to withdraw from Wednesday's pro-am for the same reason. He's likely not to return to competition until the British Open in two weeks.

Molder has earned nearly 90 percent of his season's take in his last three starts, which is saying something considering he's banked $682,085 this year. Today's effort featured six birdies in his first eight holes. Molder has now put together nine straight rounds or par or better.

Elk's WD at the Travelers was academic considering he wasn't going to make the cut. Still, he's been downright awful all year, so be wary of tomorrow. Enjoy the 12 fairways-16 GIR performance for what it was.

Mildly insignificant is that Piercy hit 12 GIR and still took 31 putts at Congressional. We just needed to see him compete again. He's only about $150K from locking up a 2010 PGA Tour card.

This is the second time that Small has won this event (2005), becoming just the fourth ever to do so multiple times. "It's kind of shocking to win this week, when my expectations were so low," admitted Small, who is the head golf coach at the University of Illinois. He is one of 20 to qualify for the PGA Championship. Among the notables joining him at Hazeltine are former PGA Tour member Lee Rinker, one-time Nationwide Tour winner Chris Starkjohann and last year's winner, Scott Hebert. Small will also receive six starts in PGA Tour events in 2010.
