0 Subject: Surprise Announcements/Lineups in NFL this week

On Thursday there were three surprise announceents as far as RBs go.

1. CLE - Drougns benched. Wright getting ALL the carries
2. NYJ - Barlow benched and Leon is going to SPLIT time with Houston. WOW! Houston has been the 3D back and may get some goal line carries but if he does well, he could start next year
3. Taylor not starting in Hou afterall after he was announced Tuesday. It's back to Lundy and Gado for this week. Though Taylor will be activated next week.

Today, NYJ announced that Houston will now start and Washington will be the 3d back. That makes no sense to me. If they are going to split time, I'd think it would be the other way around but what do I know.

I've read rumours about Wright for Drougns, but I can't find anything concrete. Got a reference?

From Rotoworld::

The Cleveland Plain Dealer confirms that Reuben Droughns (questionable, sprained foot) has been benched.

Droughns says he's "kind of in the dark right now" as to who's the starting running back in Cleveland. The starting running back is Jason Wright. Droughns has worked with the second-team offense during the limited portions of 11-on-11s he's been able to participate in this week.

Thanks,

I've had Rhodes on my team and watched his production drop. I've been looking for someone to take a bit of a risk on for the stretch run. Wright may be my man.

According to ESPN, LenDale White will be active and Chris Brown inactive--contrary to what the Texans announced yesterday.

Also Sanders and Stokley both expected to play today after being announced as doubtful earlier in the week.

Droughns with 11 points today. Compare to Lee Evans, who has 1 catch for 2 yards.
