According to Cleveland Browns' general manager Phil Savage, CB Gary Baxter might be a candidate to begin the season on the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list, but Savage is optimistic he could play sometime this season. Baxter has no fantasy value.



The Detroit Lions haven't had a winning record since 2000 and haven't won 10 games since 1995. That's all going to change in 2007, according to QB Jon Kitna. Appearing on WDFN-AM in Detroit on Thursday, Kitna predicted that the Lions will win more than 10 games this season. Kitna is much more optimistic than the rest of us. He could be a sleeper fantasy QB playing in the Martz offense, so keep him in mind late in the draft.



Chicago Bears' DT Tank Johnson was pulled over for speeding in Arizona early Friday and police said they drew blood from the NFL player to determine whether he was drunk. Johnson is already suspended for eight games and this isn't going to help matters. The Bears should make plans to play without Johnson and so should you if he is on your IDP squad.
