FanHouse Mike Goodson

Cut-N-Go is Fantasy Football FanHouse's daily gathering of links from around the web, covering the goings-on in NFL Training Camp which have an impact on fantasy value.

Brett Favre obviously dominated the news today, and the injury to Chaz Schilens is also fantasy-worthy. I wouldn't touch Favre in any but the deepest of fantasy leagues, and I'd definitely suggest keeping Schilens in the back of our minds for the stretch run. You can read extended fantasy analysis on both moves further down the fantasy page.

What else is happening around the league? Read on.

Who moved to the head of the NFL class during the draft? Find out with FanHouse's team-by-team 2009 Draft Grades.

John Fox and Marty Hurney have always done a good job selecting first-round talent. Since Fox took over the coaching reins in 2002, they've picked Julius Peppers, Jordan Gross, Chris Gamble, Thomas Davis, DeAngelo Williams, Jon Beason, Jonathan Stewart and Jeff Otah. So, yeah, not too shabby. This year, the Panthers didn't have a first-round pick, but somehow managed to stumble into first-round talent anyway, landing Everette Brown with the 43rd-overall pick in the draft.

A major reason to watch Texas A&M football over the past few seasons has been the sight of Jorvorskie Lane plowing his way through Big 12 defenses. Lane, a veritable brontosaurus in pads, always surprised me with his athleticism and agility in the Aggie offense. But with new head coach Mike Sherman installing a "pro-style" offense in College Station; Lane will apparently be switching positions this spring.

"Sherman said running back Jorvorskie Lane will have to adapt to being a fullback in the new offense. Mike Goodson and Bradley Stephens were the top two running backs in drills."

First, as a Nebraska fan who has some recent experience with an NFL head coach and a "pro-style" system, I have one thing to say to Aggie fans: "I'm sorry." Secondly, one of the great things about college football is the lack of emphasis it places on body types and measureables when it comes to lining guys up. If Lane's new role means increased blocking demands and diminished carries, we as fans are being cheated.

Even worse, however, is a hidden nugget from another spring report on Texas A&M:

"Sherman said he's challenging 277-pound running back Jorvorskie Lane to lose some weight, adding that he could afford to shed a few of his own pounds as well."

NOOOO!!! Say it isn't so, Coach Sherman. I like my Jorvorskie's huge and thundering. Now Lane is destined to be just another fullback with a funny name. And here I thought fatty running backs had become something of an institution at A&M. Is nothing sacred? Can an end to the 12th Man tradition be far behind?
