SI.com Well at least you haven’t drafted him yet… Oh and Michael Vick is out for the season with a broken thumb. I’m kidding but who else will be knocked out of the top ten due to injury.

The injury occurred as early the first opening drive and you can read up on that at Chargers.com.

CBSsports.com While the discussion opens about TB RB Doug Martin and his overall fantasy football value this podcast is all about every running-back.

How deep is the running-back position? Will their be any gems in the late rounds? Should you take a running-back with your first three picks? Will the injury history of the running-back position devalue the position in fantasy football? 

I give Dave, Jamey, and even Adam credit because this may be the best podcast they have done yet this season.

If you listen to one podcast this season this is the one. GREAT PODCAST!

ThePigSkinGuy.com has an interesting blog post that takes two players that could be a real draft day dilemma and creates a debate for both players.

The first debate is Texans RB Chris Johnson vs Chargers RB Ryan Mathews.

ProFootballWeekly.com San Diego running-back Ryan Mathews is a top 12 pick overall in this years fantasy draft yet he slides to 3rd or 4th rounds because everyone is pass happy.

NFL.com Michael Fabiano makes the case for Chargers RB Ryan Mathews to suddenly become a premier back.  However I have more doubts than whims about a sudden increase in Mathews fantasy production than Fabiano.
