Faulk pleads no contest: Patriots RB Kevin Faulk has pleaded no contest to misdemeanor possession of marijuana, stemming from an incident this February, according to KATC-TV in Louisiana and reported in the Boston Globe. The paper reports Faulk will have his 5-month jail term suspended and will be given a one-year supervised probation with several conditions. He will have to pay a fine of $300 along with $231 in court costs and a $250 fee for a drug analysis. In addition, he will have to perform 40 hours community service and complete 20 hours of a substance abuse program. On Feb. 22, Faulk was found with four hand-rolled cigars filled with the illegal substance while attending a Lil' Wayne rap concert in his home state of Louisiana. (Updated 07/09/2008).

Fantasy Analysis
Faulk still could face a possible suspension from the NFL for getting in trouble during the offseason. Keep an eye on what happens, but Faulk is a low-end Fantasy option in 2008 since he is expected to be the No. 3 RB for the Patriots behind Laurence Maroney and Sammy Morris. Faulk's best Fantasy value is in leagues where receptions count. (Updated 07/09/2008).
