Fantasy Analysis
Bullocks had a strong rookie season in 2006 before injury set in last season. He hopes to return to form in 2008 and made a strong impression Thursday. However, he is nothing more than a wait-and-see project in Fantasy leagues.

YEAR-TO-DATE STATS

161341100
 
Fantasy Analysis
Sims recorded 134 tackles, one sack, one interception and three forced fumbles in 2007. He has recorded two 100-tackle seasons since entering the NFL and has become a high-end Fantasy LB. He escaped serious injury and that's good news for Fantasy owners.

Fantasy Analysis
Avril will likely get a chance to play right away, but he has minimal Fantasy value in 2008. Don't plan on drafting him in most IDP leagues this year, but keep an eye on how he does to see if he's worth adding off the waiver wire.

Injury Report
Hamstring - Left Aug. 28 preseason game at Buffalo. Questionable for Week 1 at Atlanta (Updated - 8/29/08)
Fantasy Analysis
Blue had nine tackles in four games last season. He played in all 16 games as a rookie in 2006 with the Vikings, but he has never been a starter and is not worth owning in Fantasy.

Fantasy Analysis
Hanson should be a solid one-week replacement kicker for Fantasy owners this season and isn't a bad Week 1 option for those owners who prefer to platoon kickers since the Lions play the Falcons. At best, he's a final-round draft pick.
#29 Brian Calhoun
5-10, 208, Wisconsin
YEAR-TO-DATE STATS
GRATTRYDSTDRECYDSTD
473505350
 
Injury Report
Quadriceps - Left Aug. 28 preseason game at Buffalo. Questionable for Week 1 at Atlanta (Updated - 8/28/08)
Fantasy Analysis
The Lions have a ton of talent at running back and this injury could force the team to part ways with Calhoun, a former college standout at Colorado and Wisconsin. Calhoun has little to no Fantasy value heading into 2008.

Fantasy Analysis
McHugh is the backup FB in Detroit and has no Fantasy value.

Injury Report
Leg - Left Aug. 28 preseason game at Buffalo. Questionable for Week 1 at Atlanta (Updated - 8/28/08)
Fantasy Analysis
Dizon was a standout linebacker in college at Colorado and was doing some great thing in the preseason. He hasn't quite yet earned a starting job, but as long as he is healthy, he might get there by season's end. However, it's safe to pass on him in Fantasy until further notice.

Drew Henson

YEAR-TO-DATE STATS
GCMP %PYDSPTDSINTRTDS
No Stats Available
 
Fantasy Analysis
If it doesn't happen, he says he won't regret leaving the Wolverines for the New York Yankees, only to have his can't-miss career as a third baseman stall in Triple-A. He figures he did his best trying to resurrect his football career with the Dallas Cowboys, who dumped him in 2006 after one career start. Henson has just one major-league hit and one NFL touchdown pass to show for his career. He is nothing more than roster depth for Detroit and can be ignored in Fantasy.

Injury Report
Ankle - Missed Aug. 28 preseason game at Buffalo. Questionable for Week 1 at Atlanta (Updated - 8/28/08)
Fantasy Analysis
Cason is the third-string running back in Detroit. He might see some third-down carries, but he's not worth owning in any Fantasy format.
