As NFL teams cut down their rosters to 53 men on Saturday, it allowed them to sign up to 10 players to their respective practice squads on Sunday. We will continue to update as teams announce their practice squad signings. Check out our tracker to see who ended up where:polo jeans lyricsBrian Billick: Ravens over Seahawks. John Harbaugh has more wins in his seven years as a head coach than anyone in that same span not named Bill Belichick -- and he will out-coach Pete Carroll in another heartbreaking last-second loss for the Seahawks.The 2013 second-round pick tentatively made the roster Saturday evening, but his spot was far from assured after a disappointing preseason in which he was clearly behind C.J. Anderson, Ronnie Hillman and Juwan Thompson in the pecking order.While Antonio Gates misses the first four games, Ladarius Green is ready to step up as a dangerous fantasy tight end. Donald Miralle/Getty Imagesrlx ralph lauren canadaAmong other things I nailed in last year's column that were definitely not obvious 12 months ago: Saying Cam Newton would finish outside the top 10 for the first time in his career (he'd never been lower than top-five); that Travis Kelce, undrafted in the preseason last year, would finish as a top-12 tight end; that Vernon Davis (a top-five pick at tight end) would finish outside the top 10. And I came close on ones like Dez Bryant catching 18 touchdowns (he caught 16), that Trent Richardson (drafted 21st among RBs) would finish outside the top 40 (he finished 35th) and Mike Evans would be the highest-ranked rookie wideout (Odell Beckham Jr. beat him).So again, please use this column as intended: to highlight players I have a strong feeling about one way or the other, to make you feel better about your own predictions and to subtly remind you that I have a premium fantasy football site called RotoPass.com, now with a fancy box to the right!As the regular season inches closer, it's time once again for my eighth annual "bold predictions" column.The "you heard me" premise works like this. Pretend we are having a conversation:
New Orleans Saints: I say Drew Brees, a surefire top-five and often top-three QB, finishes outside the top 10 at quarterback this season in fantasy points. My thinking: He says last season's sixth-place finish among QBs was because of injury, and maybe it was. But losing guys like Jimmy Graham, Kenny Stills and Pierre Thomas, going more run-based and hoping to keep that same production with a young and somewhat unproven Brandin Cooks, an injury-prone C.J. Spiller, a slowing-down Marques Colston and a raw Brandon Coleman is dicey. Plus, with downgrades at tight end and a growing number of talented quarterbacks in fantasy-friendly offenses, I can easily see another "down" year for Brees.Enemkpali was claimed by the Bills after his release, only to be be waived when Buffalo set its 53-man roster. On Monday, Enemkpali was signed to the Bills' practice squad.cheap mens ralph lauren polo shirtsCarroll confirmed Dion Bailey, an undrafted free agent in 2014, will start in Chancellor's place if Chancellor doesn't show up later this week.Houston Texans: I say Arian Foster is a top-10 running back this season, in total points. My thinking: As of this writing, we don't know how much time Foster will miss, just that he suffered a bad groin injury at the start of camp and there were varying timetables for his return. We've heard rumors he'll return by the end of September, but that hasn't been confirmed. So my belief is that those rumors are true, that because of the fantastic shape he was in when he got hurt, he will heal a bit quicker. He missed three games last season and still finished as a top-five fantasy running back. So given his talent and workload, top-10 is easy. That's not the bold prediction part; it's the health. That's a gut call more than anything, but so is a lot of this column. Foster has at least one great season left in him. And something to prove.Griffin's future in Washington remains unsettled -- is it for a few weeks or all season? But before anything can be decided, Griffin must pass the NFL's concussion protocol. He'll visit an independent neurologist Tuesday -- the same one who initially cleared him before changing his mind. Griffin had met with him again Friday.

My thinking: Everyone is assuming there will be a time-share right now, and that's fair, based on what we've seen. But an injury to Darren McFadden and Randle's natural talent (I'm a believer) will allow Randle to take the job and, er, run with it. Sorry.
The Texans have three healthy running backs available while Foster remains sidelined: Alfred Blue, Jonathan Grimes and Chris Polk. Blue is likely to start against the Kansas City Chiefs, whom the Texans host in their season opener.cheap mens ralph lauren polo shirtsThe trade leaves the Browns with two running backs on the 53-man roster: Isaiah Crowell and rookie Duke Johnson, who has been sidelined since he was diagnosed with a concussion in the third preseason game Aug. 29.
The Atlanta Falcons released starting center Joe Hawley, who has been dealing with knee issues, on Monday to make room for center Gino Gradkowski, whom they claimed off waivers from the Denver Broncos.

We liked other guys better."polo ralph lauren hoodies for menThe Browns lack skill-position talent at every position on offense, but their O-line is considered one of the league's best. They'll need to prove themselves without Moeller to start 2015.No preseason games, no problem. That's the word from New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski.Coxson, 23, said in the interview that he's still not back to 100 percent.A veteran would have been more likely to be ready if pressed into action early in the season. Morris will need time to get comfortable running Kelly's up-tempo offense.
Washington: I say Matt Jones scores the most points of any Washington running back. My thinking: I love this kid. Every time I see him, he is big and fast and a very tough tackle. They want to run a ton this season, and he'll already be getting some third-down work and spelling Alfred Morris. They are talking more 1A-to-1B kind of thing. Morris is great, but Jones will force his way onto the field. I believe once he gets his shot, he's not giving it up. If nothing else, Jones will be flex-worthy, and he's currently being undrafted.

He's underpaid, relative to his production, at $7 million per year. But the Seahawks recognize that if they give Chancellor what he wants, every player they have who doesn't like his contract is going to expect them to do the same for him. The Seahawks don't want to establish a harmful precedent of tearing up contracts with three years left on them.
Minnesota Vikings: I say Charles Johnson, currently going two rounds after Mike Wallace, actually outscores Wallace by more than 20 fantasy points. My thinking: Wallace's fantasy value last season came more from touchdowns than yardage, and as he's on his third team in four years, it'll take time to make a connection with Teddy Bridgewater. It's a connection Johnson already has. Norv Turner's offense tends to be much better for one specific WR than two, and if Wallace doesn't get the ball early (a real possibility), this could go south in a hurry.
Kansas City Chiefs: I say, with Alex Smith as his quarterback now that he's in Kansas City, Jeremy Maclin has the best fantasy season of his career. My thinking: Conventional wisdom has Maclin, currently going as WR24, dropping off significantly after leaving Philly for K.C. and the conservative Smith. But knowing Andy Reid's offense, the relationship Maclin and Reid have and the crazy number of targets and touches the offense will generate for Maclin, his talent and volume propel him to a monster season.polo jeans lyricsSmith thanked his teammates, coaches and family for their support."It's always good to see guys get back on the field when they've been down a little bit," wide receiver Brandon Marshall said.West is likely to compete with Antonio Andrews for the carries that go to a big back while the team waits on rookie fifth-rounder David Cobb to heal up.rlx ralph lauren canadaMills started all 16 games at right tackle as a fifth-round rookie in 2013, only to see his play dropoff in 13 starts last season."[That's] definitely not a shot at JPP, but I am just worried about who we have in this locker room and who we have on the field. If he definitely comes today, we would instantly become a better defense."Stephen Morris was claimed by the Eagles to be the team's third quarterback after he was waived by the Jaguars.

The key question, however, is to what extent Dallas' road-grading offensive line unlocks Michael's game-breaking potential by opening gaping holes as it did for reigning Offensive Player of the Year DeMarco Murray, who had nine more runs of 15+ yards than any back in the league last season.Williams got 13 carries for 63 yards in three preseason games. When asked about his limited reps, Williams said they won't be limited Thursday.cheap mens ralph lauren polo shirtsGiants head coach Tom Coughlin said he had not seen Pierre-Paul as of early Monday afternoon. Coughlin stated that the Giants have to see the state of Pierre-Paul's health before assessing anything else.New York Giants: I say Rashad Jennings, currently being drafted as RB29, is a top-12 fantasy running back. My thinking: Jennings just needs to stay healthy. He was seventh in fantasy points before getting hurt last season, 10th after he came back. Whatever he loses because of Shane Vereen will be made up by a more efficient and higher-scoring offense, now in the second year with offensive coordinator Ben McAdoo and wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr.The Seahawks will receive a conditional draft pick in the deal, which was announced Sunday.
