Notable Changes:

• Steven Jackson (finger) will play through his injury, and with Carolina as his opponent, I moved him up a few notches.
• I slid Thomas Jones down a couple of notches simply because he's part of a running back by committee, whereas Rashard Mendenhall, who I moved up, gets the bulk of the carries.
• DeAngelo Williams is out, making Jonathan Stewart a strong play against St. Louis.
• With Joseph Addai most likely not playing, and Donald Brown replacing him, but not likely at 100%, I opted to move Mike Hart up a few spots against Houston on Monday Night Football.
