Notable Changes

• With weather likely an issue in Pittsburgh, look for a heavier dose of Mendenhall.
• Washington could also be experiencing the fury of Mother Nature, making Blount ascend a few notches. I still don’t trust the murky Redskins RB situation enough to endorse a back.
• BenJarvus Green-Ellis, Fred Jackson and Cedric Benson also climbed a bit because the weather should make their offenses lean more heavily on the ground game.
• I slid down James Starks a bit because we don’t know how many touches he’s going to get.
• Ryan Mathews is expected to factor in this week, which hurts Mike Tolbert’s fantasy value.
