David's Daily Digest
[My Take]
More football news and happenings from around the league; here’s the latest I am hearing, reading, and following with my take on things and how they will impact the coming fantasy week……

Player Notes From Across My Wire...


Bears add Chester Taylor to the mix....
It's an interesting signing for Chicago, though it helps the offense some it really does little to help the team's passing game. With the big arm under center adding a running back will do little to upgrade Cutler. Taylor (low-RB3) will be a back up to starter Matt Forte (low-RB1) and will only benefit if the team can curtail Cutler's tendency to force the ball downfield. Expect Taylor to play a very much similar role in Chicago as he did in Minnesota; a third down passing receiving specialist. Even with Martz revamping the play calling, Taylor likely won't see enough action to be a drafted fantasy option other than a hand-cuff to Forte.

Ravens make a deal for Boldin.....
The Ravens took major steps in the right direction by immediately upgrading their passing game with the addition of wide receiver Anquan Boldin (mid-WR2). Q will bring to the team and quarterback Joe Flacco a big playmaking receiver they have sorely missed. With the prior signing of Donte Stallworth (low-WR4), the Ravens passing game (ranked 18th in 2009) could take a huge leap forward in 2010.

Seahawks interested in Brandon Marshall....
Although there is a lot of rumors flying the Broncos seem to be hell-bent on getting a first round pick for Marshall (mid-WR2) and any trade with Seattle could require the Seahawks overall number six pick (in this 2010 draft). Last season the Hawks added then free agent wide receiver TJ Houshmandzadeh (low-WR1). It's odd to think they would bring in another big physical receiver to compliment TJ, but with Marshall being a proven commodity with three straight seasons with over 100 receptions it could be hard to pass up.

T.O. to visit the Bengals....
It appears that Chad Ochocinco (mid-WR2) made enough noise and the Bengals heard, free agent wide receiver Terrell Owens (mid-WR3) is expected to visit the Bengals on Tuesday. After a significant drop in his numbers in 2009, some may question the Bengals interest in Owens; T.O. showed enough last season to prove he's still in great shape, has plenty of speed, and great size. With T.O.'s physical presence on one side (similar to Houshmandzadeh), he would make an ideal compliment for Ochocinco's speed on the other side.
