Updates from cut-down day

A few of the cuts over the weekend forced us to change our ratings. Updated ratings are on the right-hand side under "2008 Positional Rankings."

The Bengals cut Rudi Johnson, which helped do decloud their muddy running back situation somewhat. Chris Perry will now be the starter, and will be spelled by Kenny Watson. Perry looks like a good late-round pick up now.

Chad Jackson was finally let go by the Patriots, which gives the #3 receiver job to Jabar Gaffney. Gaffney is now worth a late-round pick as well.

The Texans have put Chris Brown on injured reserve, ending his season. This puts Chris Taylor in the running back mix with Ahman Green and Steve Slayton. Green is an injury waiting to happen, so if two people in your league draft Taylor and Slayton in a late round, one of them will be richly rewarded. I really don't know which one it will be, but if I had a choice, I would take Slayton.

Kurt Warner has won the starting job in Arizona. We don't think he will hold it all year, but this of course makes Matt Leinart undraftable.
