RB Travis Henry injures ribs in Week 7

Opinion: According to the Associated Press, Denver Broncos RB Travis Henry left Week 7 in the third-quarter with bruised ribs. Keep an eye on this, as it could open the door for Selvin Young and Cecil Sapp - Both runners are bound to get more playing time sooner or later in preparation for Henry's possible suspension. Selvin Young is the #1 back-up to own on that Denver roster, but Cecil Sapp and Andre Hall are both worthy of a roster spot in larger leagues.

RB Brandon Jacobs re-injures ankle

Opinion: According to Jay Glazer, of FoxSports, Giants RB Brandon Jacobs is believed to have re-injured his ankle in Sunday's game. There is some early speculation that Jacobs could very well be questionable for Week 8. Given the team has a bye in Week 9, it wouldn't be crazy to think that the Giants may want to rest their beast of a running back. Honestly, we don't think this guy will ever stay healthy, and we stand by that. At 6-4, 260+, how can you stay healthy as a full-time runner?
