Notable changes:
- Beanie Wells was removed from the list because of his injury. Tim Hightower jumped a few slots.
- Darren McFadden jumped a few slots because of Michael Bush’s injury.
- Laurence Maroney is banged up making Fred Taylor the likely option to receive the bulk of the carries. Taylor makes the list.
- Knowshon Moreno is back. He’ll share the load with Buckhalter, but is still a low-end flex option.
- Chester Taylor made the expanded list as he’s facing Detroit.
