| The Steelers will battle the Texans this weekend and commented on dangerous return man Andre Davis, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Davis returned three kickoffs for scores last season and coach Mike Tomlin said, "We're familiar with this guy in the AFC North from Cleveland. He's got great straight-line speed. He's fearless. He hits the hole long-striding and that's why he generates plays." |
Our View: Davis holds solid fantasy value in leagues that feature scoring for return men, and the Steelers will draw a tough assigment in the opener. Along with the three scores in 2007, Davis also averaged 30.3 yards per return. |

| Coach Gary Kubiak reiterated that Ahman Green is ready to play in Week 1, according to the Houston Chronicle. Kubiak said, "Ahman’s ready to go. He’s been practicing for two weeks."

Our View: It is good news that he will be able to play, but he was ailing for most of the preseason, and isn't expected to handle a heavy workload initially. |
