http://www.yardbarker.com/content/player/2198 Recent articles about Travis Henry en-us So how do we beat the RBBC conundrum? Knowledge! I know, I sound like a bad public service announcement but in fantasy football, knowledge really is power. And there's just not enough info out there on all the various committees. I applaud the few sites out there that have attacked the RBBC analysis...though I can't say I really blame the experts out there for not wanting to talk about them. But now it's time we face committees head on and do our best to take a gamble and figure out which guys might pull to the front of the committee battles. Trust me, some of those guys might even be a top 10 back by the time the season is over. With that being said, let's take a look at 3 under-discussed teams and their backfield situation heading into 2008: Thu, 24 Jul 2008 00:40:00 -0500 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/294709 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/294709 Fantasy football drafts are right around the corner, so who looks to be the hits and misses? This guide's a long read, but it's in-depth, and it channels the wayback machine for some who are older than they'd like to admit (or buy lots of old DVDs).

Could this just be the calm before the storm? Lamont Jordan is still a Raider and another coach is reportedly in the fold as the Raiders remain silent on the Javon Walker injury. Come July 23rd, Raider Nation and all NFL fanatics will finally start getting regular updates on their respective teams. That's when training camp starts and soon after we will all be graced with the must see TV of the NFL season. Until then, here are a few tidbits that we're still trying to obtain information on.

Considering the Broncos produce 1,000-yard rushers like Henry produces babies, the team was wise to dump this clown when they did.

The saga of Brett Favre? That's trouble. Shaun Alexander? That's also trouble. And Chicago quarterbacks? Don't even think about it.

His ability to make plays running, receiving and returning the football will be counted on heavily as the Titans look to improve an offense searching for playmakers. Despite his small stature, Johnson packs a powerful punch. According to his draft profile, Chris has room on his frame to carry at least another 10 pounds of bulk without sacrificing his elite speed and quickness. Could Johnson follow in the footsteps of other smallish backs who became every down RB's such as Brian Westbrook and Willie Parker?

Unfortunately, starting cornerback Darrent Williams was shot outside of a Denver nightclub and just six weeks later running back Damien Nash collapsed and died during a charity basketball event. Despite the tragic losses, the Broncos still had high hopes of making it to the postseason for the third time in the past 4 seasons. They went out and signed Travis Henry in attempt to beef up the running game, had started to groom quarterback Jay Cutler and...

Which guy do you think has made the dumber mistakes? Who has the best chance of keeping a job in the NFL? Mon, 09 Jun 2008 11:32:49 -0500 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/276082 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/276082 The story should not be that Mike Shanahan and the front office released Henry. It should, instead, be why the Broncos even signed the troubled back to a lucrative long-term contract in the first place. Previous signs of "lack of commitment" were evident well before Henry inked his 2007 free agent contract. Thu, 05 Jun 2008 01:51:07 -0500 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/274640 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/274640 The Denver Broncos released running back Travis Henry on Monday. Selvin Young will open training camp as the Broncos' No. 1 back. "We did not feel his commitment to the Broncos was enough to warrant a spot on this football team," coach Mike Shanahan said in a written statement. "Although Travis has the ability to be one of the top running backs in the NFL, we have to make decisions that are in the best interests of our organization and its goal of winning a Super Bowl," Shanahan said. Now that Henry will have more free time on his hands, he can get back to doing what he does best: making babies. JP's Fantasy Spin: With Henry surprisingly out of the picture, the next guy in line is probably Selvin Young, who showed some serious flashes in his rookie season. He rushed for 729 yards (5.2 ypc) and caught 35 passes for another 231 yards. Also, keep an eye on where Henry lands. Skeletor is right, he's a talented back, but he doesn't seem to have his head on straight. If he lands in the right spot, he could be a good #2 fantasy back.

WE NEED MORE OF THIS IN SPORTS! please god, let the rest of the NFL follow suit.

Henry, who is currently sidelined with a hamstring injury, may be expendable as a result of the acquisition of Pittman and the development of young RB's Selvin Young and Ryan Torain. If last week is any indication, the Titans appear to be interested in attaining a veteran running back to pair with their young stable of runners. If Henry is released, the Titans should consider bringing him back to Nashville.

The AFC West is a rushing division. The Bronco running back factory, LaDainian Tomlinson and Larry Johnson have been joined by the Oakland Raiders' three headed rushing attack of Justin Fargas, Michael Bush, and Darren McFadden. How do these rushing teams stack up against one another? Wed, 28 May 2008 05:02:05 -0500 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/271625 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/271625
