<news>Barring a setback in his conditioning program, Cardinals starting pitcher <a class="playerLink" href="/players/playerpage/7495/chris-carpenter">Chris Carpenter</a> (neck, shoulder) is expected to throw off a mound later this week for the first time since spring training, the <i> St. Louis Post-Dispatch </i> reports. Carpenter has been sidelined since mid-March with a right shoulder injury that was intensified by a nerve disorder. "Where I'm at right now compares to where I'm at when I start preparing myself to go to spring training," Carpenter said. "I've been doing everything: strengthening my upper body, running, everything. I feel great."</news>

<title>Carpenter climbing toward mound</title>
<analysis>Cardinals general manager John Mozeliak said last week that the club is hoping to determine Carpenter's availability for the remainder of season by July 1. The right-hander's bullpen session should help that decision. "I don't think any of us will know anything for sure until I get back on the mound. That's what's going to determine where it's headed," said Carpenter, who threw a career-high 273 1/3 innings between the regular season and postseason last year. "But I'm very confident we'll know more by then." Fantasy owners should continue monitoring the former Cy Young Award winner's progress as any return to the St. Louis rotation won't happen until after the All-Star break.</analysis>

<news>The Detroit Tigers optioned second baseman <a class="playerLink" href="/players/playerpage/1741611/hernan-perez">Hernan Perez</a> back to Class A Lakeland following Sunday's game at Cincinnati, the team announced. Perez's removal clears a roster spot for <a class="playerLink" href="/players/playerpage/224393/jhonny-peralta">Jhonny Peralta</a>, who is expected to return from paternity leave on Tuesday.</news>
<type>normal</type>
<title>Perez doesn't stay long</title>
<analysis>Perez, viewed as one of the Tigers' top infield prospects, collected a hit in two at-bats during his major-league debut. The 21-year-old wasn't expected to stay with Detroit very long and will continue his progression in the minors. He's likely a few years away from making a Fantasy impact.</analysis>

<news>The San Diego Padres outrighted relief pitcher <a class="playerLink" href="/players/playerpage/1199459/matt-palmer">Matt Palmer</a> to Triple-A Tucson after he successfully cleared waivers. Palmer was designated for assignment last Sunday to clear a roster spot for <a class="playerLink" href="/players/playerpage/546345/huston-street">Huston Street</a>, who was activated from the disabled list.</news>
<type>normal</type>
<title>Palmer destined for minors</title>
<analysis>Palmer made only three appearances with the Padres this season and surrendered two runs -- both in one game. The right-hander also struggled in the minors before his promotion (4.50 ERA and 1.64 WHIP) and should not be considered a worthwhile Fantasy option.</analysis>

<news>Tigers manager Jim Leyland said Sunday that pitcher <a class="playerLink" href="/players/playerpage/1699360/doug-fister">Doug Fister</a>, on the 15-day disabled list, will not return for Wednesday's start against the Cubs. "He's stiff and a little sore," Leyland told MLive.com. "He's definitely not going to pitch Wednesday. That's the only information I can give you on him. He will not pitch Wednesday. We were hoping for that, but that's not going to happen." <a class="playerLink" href="/players/playerpage/1232129/rick-porcello">Rick Porcello</a> will take Fister's spot on Wednesday followed by <a class="playerLink" href="/players/playerpage/530362/justin-verlander">Justin Verlander</a> in Thursday's series finale. <a class="playerLink" href="/players/playerpage/1708182/casey-crosby">Casey Crosby</a> will get the nod in Friday's series opener against the Rockies. </news>

<title>Fister not returning Wednesday</title>
<analysis>Fister, who was placed on the shelf May 30 with a left side injury, looked to be returning in Week 11 (June 11-17) but it looks like that won't happen now since he has been ruled out for Wednesday. An MRI taken in late May revealed no additional damage to his side but keep an eye on his progress going forward to see when he might return. The right-hander has gone 0-3 with a 3.15 ERA in six starts, while recording 24 strikeouts. Fister should be stashed away in most Fantasy formats while on the DL. </analysis>

<news>Rangers pitcher <a class="playerLink" href="/players/playerpage/1174266/alexi-ogando">Alexi Ogando</a> came out of the bullpen to replace the injured <a class="playerLink" href="/players/playerpage/1630081/derek-holland">Derek Holland</a> (shoulder) on Sunday against the Giants. Unfortunately, Ogando's return to the rotation lasted just three innings due to strained right groin. Ogando was injured legging out a bunt single in the top of the fourth inning. <a class="playerLink" href="/players/playerpage/1935245/robbie-ross">Robbie Ross</a> would eventually come out of the bullpen in the fourth to replace Ogando, who fired three perfect innings before getting hurt. He struck out two and is scheduled to undergo an MRI on Monday. "Right now it feels pretty bad," Ogando said. "Tomorrow I'll get an MRI, but right now it doesn't feel good." </news>
<type>normal</type>
<title>Ogando injured during start</title>
<analysis>The Rangers can't seem to catch a break right now. First, Neftali Feliz goes down with arm problems. Then, Holland lands on the DL. Now, Ogando joins the list of injured starters. If Ogando is unable to rejoin the rotation in Fantasy Week 11 (June 11-17), then the Rangers will have to find another starter. It might be Roy Oswalt, who wasn't expected to join the rotation until late June, but it's too early to speculate. However, this Ogando injury does make him a risky start for the upcoming scoring period.</analysis>

<news>Diamondbacks shortstop <a class="playerLink" href="/players/playerpage/580789/stephen-drew">Stephen Drew</a> (ankle) homered and went 2 for 5 with two RBI in his second rehab game with Triple-A Reno on Saturday. His performance has manager Kirk Gibson thinking about a potential return date for the former 2004 first-round pick. "(Sunday) was the first day I started thinking about it a little bit, I generally think things through a few times," Gibson said, per MLB.com. "I had a conversation today on the way in about it. There are many different scenarios. You have to see how often he can play and how he's moving around." Gibson said he has been receiving positive reports about Drew's defense as well. "I know he's made some exceptional plays already," Gibson said. "We know he can swing the bat. He's <a class="playerLink" href="/players/playerpage/580789/stephen-drew">Stephen Drew</a>; he's a very good ballplayer."</news>
<type>normal</type>
<title>Drew on the verge of returning?</title>
<analysis>The Diamondbacks have the luxury of not rushing Drew back before he is ready since Willie Bloomquist and John McDonald have provided quality play in his absence. "I don't know how that affects the other guys. It's going to be interesting to see how I keep everyone involved," Gibson said. "I'm going to rotate everybody. We try to keep everyone involved. We have a good club with a lot of good players. The guys on the bench are darn good players and good guys in the clubhouse." Gibson might have a plan to ease Drew back into action to make sure his ankle holds up, but he's eventually going to re-emerge as the team's starting shortstop. Drew could be activated off the DL during Fantasy Week 11 (June 11-17), but you are taking a big gamble by starting him. Drew has the ability to be a viable Fantasy start in all formats when active.</analysis>

<analysis>Gonzalez is batting .407 (24 for 59) with eight homers, 14 RBI and two stolen bases in his last 14 games as he continues to be a solid all-around producer for the Rockies. He is also proving to be healthy and could become a 30-30 performer this season. The 26-year-old can produce like no other in Fantasy when on top of his game and should be considered a must-start option heading into Week 11 (June 11-17). </analysis>

He launched a three-run shot off <a class="playerLink" href="/players/playerpage/1685072/christian-friedrich">Christian Friedrich</a> in his first at-bat before doing so again off the left-hander in the fourth inning. Trumbo now has 14 home runs with 39 RBI on the year. </news>

<title>Trumbo sets career mark in RBI</title>
<analysis>Trumbo has gone 8 for 35 (.229) with four homers and 13 RBI through nine games in June as he continues to be a solid run producer for the Angels. He has become an everyday player in Anaheim once again and is already almost halfway to his power numbers from a year ago. While his average has slipped a bit of late, continue to view Trumbo as a solid option in the majority of Fantasy formats heading into Week 11 (June 11-17). </analysis>

<news>Reds closer <a class="playerLink" href="/players/playerpage/1717646/aroldis-chapman">Aroldis Chapman</a> entered Sunday's series finale against the Tigers in the eighth inning with two on, no outs and a three-run lead. The left-hander gave up a base hit to the first batter he faced before hitting <a class="playerLink" href="/players/playerpage/1665622/matt-young">Matt Young</a> to force in a run. Chapman then gave up a two-run double and allowed the go-ahead run to score on a wild pitch. Chapman was charged with the blown save and the loss in the 7-6 defeat. It was his second consecutive loss. </news>

<title>Chapman tagged for loss again</title>
<analysis>After converting all six of his saves while not giving up a run in his first 24 appearances this season, Chapman has not been as sharp his last two times out and now has a 0.87 ERA. The Reds have had problems with their bullpen recently but it looks as though the 24-year-old will continue to be run out in save chances. Chapman has 55 strikeouts in 31 innings pitched this season and remains a solid option in the majority of Fantasy formats heading into Week 11 (June 11-17). </analysis>

<news>Baltimore catcher <a class="playerLink" href="/players/playerpage/1232135/matt-wieters">Matt Wieters</a> went 3 for 4 with a double and an RBI during the Orioles' 5-4 interleague victory over Philadelphia in 10 innings on Sunday. Wieters, who served as the team's designated hitter, doubled in the game-winning run to give him RBI in back-to-back games for the second time this month. "I wasn't sure it was going to go quite far enough, and it went just out of (Hunter) Pence's reach," said Wieters, who is riding a three-game hitting streak. "With (Adam) Jones' speed, you know he's going to score if you can get it off the wall."</news>

<title>Wieters plays the hero for O's</title>
<analysis>Now in his fourth major-league season, Wieters is starting to match his stellar defensive prowess with his offensive exploits. The 26-year-old endured a tough month of May (.188 batting average), but has started to heat up again in June. He has tallied five multihit outings in nine games to boost his overall batting average to .255. Wieters remains a key part of the Orioles lineup and should remain active in all Fantasy formats.</analysis>

Carpenter has been sidelined since mid-March with a right shoulder injury that was intensified by a nerve disorder. \"Where I'm at right now compares to where I'm at when I start preparing myself to go to spring training,\" Carpenter said. \"I've been doing everything: strengthening my upper body, running, everything.

"analysis" : "Cardinals general manager John Mozeliak said last week that the club is hoping to determine Carpenter's availability for the remainder of season by July 1. The right-hander's bullpen session should help that decision. \"I don't think any of us will know anything for sure until I get back on the mound. That's what's going to determine where it's headed,\" said Carpenter, who threw a career-high 273 1/3 innings between the regular season and postseason last year. \"But I'm very confident we'll know more by then.\" Fantasy owners should continue monitoring the former Cy Young Award winner's progress as any return to the St. Louis rotation won't happen until after the All-Star break."

<news>The <i>Houston Chronicle</i> reports that quarterback <a class="playerLink" href="/players/playerpage/493050/matt-schaub">Matt Schaub</a> (foot) will sit out next week&#146;s minicamp, but he is ready to return to action. &#147;I&#146;m ready to go,&#148; Schaub said Friday. Schaub is healthy after Lisfranc surgery on his right foot last November. Schaub could have participated in the OTAs, but coach Gary Kubiak kept him out as a precaution. Schaub will be 100 percent when training camp begins in late July. &#147;We know what Matt&#146;s capable of, and we&#146;re expecting big things from him,&#148; Kubiak said. &#147;He&#146;ll work as hard as anybody.&#148;</news>
<type>normal</type>
<title>Schaub 'ready to go'</title>
<analysis>We're glad Schaub will be able to return at 100 percent, and he should be in line for a solid season in 2012. Prior to last season, Schaub averaged 4,570 passing yards, 27 touchdowns and 13 interceptions in 2009-10. He was averaging 18.1 Fantasy points a game last year, and only 10 quarterbacks did better in 2011. Look for Schaub to rebound and play at a high level, and he should be drafted anywhere after Round 7 in the majority of leagues. He is a top-notch No. 2 Fantasy quarterback in the majority of leagues with a chance to be a solid No. 1 option if he returns at 100 percent.</analysis>

<news>The <i>Miami Herald</i> reports that the Dolphins still have high hopes for receiver <a class="playerLink" href="/players/playerpage/1695497/clyde-gates">Clyde Gates</a>. He played only 155 snaps last season, was targeted 10 times and caught two passes for 19 yards. &#147;The only thing I was discouraged about,&#148; general manager Jeff Ireland said, &#147;was not getting him more opportunities. He has a great future.&#148; Gates, who has a 4.3 speed, said last year &#147;was confusing&#148; but that the game has started &#147;to slow down for me&#148; mentally. But it&#146;s not happening for Gates as fast as some of the other receivers this year. Coach Joe Philbin said he needs work on making route adjustments based on defensive coverages. The report says "if he doesn&#146;t improve in that area &#150; vital in the West Coast offense &#150; it&#146;s difficult to envision him beating out front-runner <a class="playerLink" href="/players/playerpage/417544/legedu-naanee">Legedu Naanee</a> for the No. 3 job or even winning the No. 4 job."</news>
<type>normal</type>
<title>Gates could be in mix</title>
<analysis>We like Gates as a sleeper in deeper leagues since the Dolphins have a huge need at receiver with Brandon Marshall gone. The Dolphins will go with Davone Bess and Brian Hartline as the starters to open the season, barring a veteran addition, but Gates could be in the mix for targets. Keep an eye on his development, and he could be worth a late-round flier in deep formats.</analysis>

<analysis>Walter should remain the starter, but he has minimal Fantasy value heading into the season. He has done little with starting chances before, and the Texans could still add another veteran to help the receiving corps, which also includes Owen Daniels. Walter will likely go undrafted in the majority of leagues, but he could be someone who is added off the waiver wire during the season.</analysis>

The report says that the "Cowboys have really been high on the offseason turned in so far by <a class="playerLink" href="/players/playerpage/1117438/kevin-ogletree">Kevin Ogletree</a>. I think he's the front-runner again for the No. 3 wide receiver job. Coale is a versatile player who the Cowboys really believe can contribute as a slot receiver. He could also be an option returning punts. Missing all the OTA practices and mini-camp this offseason with a broken foot really hurts his chances of winning the No. 3 wide receiver job, though. He'll need to have a great training camp."</news>
<type>normal</type>
<title>Ogletree could be No. 3</title>
<analysis>The No. 3 receiver for the Cowboys could be valuable as we saw from Laurent Robinson last year. That said, Robinson did a lot of his damage when Austin and Bryant were banged up. Keep an eye on what happens with Ogletree, and he could be worth a late-round flier in deeper leagues. Ogletree was re-signed this offseason but has 25 catches in his three seasons, including 15 this past year for 164 yards. </analysis>

The Packers&#146; top halfback is <a class="playerLink" href="/players/playerpage/1123431/james-starks">James Starks</a>. It appears Green is the likely No. 2 ahead of <a class="playerLink" href="/players/playerpage/1243815/brandon-saine">Brandon Saine</a>, even though Green&#146;s availability for the start of training camp remains in question. &#147;Not drafting a running back showed they have some faith in me,&#148; Green said. &#147;We&#146;ll see how things turn out when training camp comes around.&#148; Green sustained a torn anterior-cruciate ligament in his left knee in November. Green&#146;s passing of a physical at the start of camp is not a given, and based on how the Packers have handled other players returning from the same surgery, he won&#146;t take part in 11-on-11 drills for at least the first week, and possibly the first two, after he is cleared.</news>
<type>normal</type>
<title>Packers counting on Green</title>
<analysis>Green&#146;s injury has a relatively wide window of recovery for NFL players, usually from nine months to a year. He had surgery on Nov. 16, so when camp opens in late July he&#146;ll be a little more than eight months removed from surgery. When the regular-season opens on Sept. 9, he&#146;ll be almost 10 months into his recovery. We hope he's ready to go for Week 1 because he could be a sleeper in 2012. Keep an eye on his progress, and Green could be worth a late-round flier in deeper formats. </analysis>

<title>Gronk lands rich deal</title>
<analysis>We have no reason to believe Gronkowski won't be ready to roll when camp kicks off, and we figure he'll continue to serve as a big part in the New England offense. The arrival of Brandon Lloyd might take a few targets off Gronk's plate, but remember these important facts: He's had double-digit touchdowns in each of his two seasons, he plays in pretty much every Patriots play and he is still impossible for defenses to cover. No wonder the Pats want to get a new deal done with him! Figure the big lug is worth a pick starting toward the end of Round 2 as a weekly must-start Fantasy tight end. </analysis>

He's expected to back up <a class="playerLink" href="/players/playerpage/1273854/ryan-mathews">Ryan Mathews</a>. Brown, a former first-round pick of the Dolphins, backed up Eagles running back <a class="playerLink" href="/players/playerpage/1243187/lesean-mccoy">LeSean McCoy</a> last season and put up a pedestrian 136 yards on 42 carries (3.2 rushing average) with one touchdown.

<analysis>Brown hasn't averaged 4.0 yards per carry since 2009, which is the same year he suffered a Lisfranc foot injury. He hasn't been the same since. We wouldn't draft Brown even as a handcuff for Mathews. </analysis>

<news>The <i>Atlanta Journal-Constitution</i> reports that while the Falcons want to take some of the rushing workload off of running back <a class="playerLink" href="/players/playerpage/493097/michael-turner">Michael Turner</a>'s shoulders, the back is still looking good. Turner admitted this week that there will be more passing in the Falcons offense this season but laughed off the notion that his carries will be monitored closely, saying "they always say that." Turner, who turned 30 and has 1,232 total carries in four years with the Falcons (including the postseason), still looks like the rock-solid rusher he always has been according to running back coach Gerald Brown. "He&#146;s been looking really good," Brown said. "Physically, he&#146;s running the ball well. He&#146;s right on pace, where he should be. We expect the same thing that he&#146;s been giving us. ... Mike is looking good."</news>

<title>RB coach stands up for Turner</title>
<analysis>Despite totaling 1,340 rush yards and 11 scores last season, Turner's numbers were downright nasty from Week 12 through Week 16 (280 rush yards, one TD in five games), suggesting that a slow-down is coming. Because Turner got off to a slow start to his career, and because he has less than 1,500 career carries, we're not so sure that such a slowdown is happening so soon. Moreover, he'll be the primary rusher in an offense loaded with dynamic receiving weapons, so he'll never see more than seven defenders in the box. The Falcons also improved their offensive line and will not hesitate to use Turner as a goal-line weapon as they have in the past. We still feel Turner is good enough to use as a No. 1 Fantasy running back, making him worth a late first-/early second-round pick. Even if he's under 300 carries, he should still be productive enough to start on a weekly basis. </analysis>

<news>Jets receiver <a class="playerLink" href="/players/playerpage/413021/santonio-holmes">Santonio Holmes</a> pulled himself out of Thursday's OTA practice complaining of taking too many reps. Holmes missed some voluntary practice sessions while on a USO-sponsored trip and couldn't hack it upon his return. ESPN reports Holmes had a "mini-meltdown" toward the end of the two-hour practice, limping off the field and throwing his helmet. Holmes said he wasn't hurt but was annoyed by the amount of action the coaches wanted from him in practice. "I was talking to the coach, letting him understand it was too many reps today," Holmes said. "I've been gone for a while, so I can't be at full tempo like the rest of the guys and where they want us to be at." </news>

<title>Holmes complains of too many OTA reps</title>
<analysis>According to ESPN, Holmes was slated for 35 reps and left after roughly 25. Head coach Rex Ryan had no problem with Holmes asking out of practice if it meant him not hurting himself. It sounds like Holmes might have pulled something and just overreacted. We'll see how Holmes is going forward -- he says he's going to work out with Mark Sanchez in California in July -- but he's a big part of the Jets offense this season. If he can't get going, the Jets could struggle to score points. Holmes' stock is slipping as the Jets move to a more run-oriented offense, one that will include Tim Tebow occasionally throwing passes his way. We view Holmes as a No. 3 Fantasy receiver worth a mid-round pick.</analysis>

<news>Coach Romeo Crennel said June 18 will be a big day for running back <a class="playerLink" href="/players/playerpage/564952/jamaal-charles">Jamaal Charles</a>. He and other injured Chiefs players will meet with doctors then and are expected to be given the go-ahead for full physical activity in training camp. Charles is one of three Chiefs who suffered a torn ACL in their left knees over three weeks at the start of the 2011 season.</news>
<type>hot</type>
<title>Charles might be cleared by mid-June</title>
<analysis>Sounds like we can expect good news in just a little more than a week. Charles has been vocal about being ready for the season, calling himself hungry and passionate to return to form. But the fact remains that he's coming off of a major injury and isn't promised to have any of the explosiveness he had before he got hurt. Tack on the Chiefs' addition of Peyton Hillis (Charles thinks Hillis will get the tough yards and goal-line work like Thomas Jones did previously), and there's a limit to Charles' 2012 expectations. So long as Charles proves that he's ready to roll, Fantasy owners should be optimistic. Assuming he's fine, Charles will be worth taking in the early rounds on Draft Day, but more as a No. 2 Fantasy RB. Plan on drafting Charles between 25th and 35th overall in all leagues.</analysis>

He was averaging 18.1 Fantasy points a game last year, and only 10 quarterbacks did better in 2011. Look for Schaub to rebound and play at a high level, and he should be drafted anywhere after Round 7 in the majority of leagues.

But it’s not happening for Gates as fast as some of the other receivers this year. Coach Joe Philbin said he needs work on making route adjustments based on defensive coverages. The report says \"if he doesn’t improve in that area – vital in the West Coast offense – it’s difficult to envision him beating out front-runner <a class=\"playerLink\" href=\"/players/playerpage/417544/legedu-naanee\">Legedu Naanee</a> for the No. 3 job or even winning the No. 4 job.\"",

"news" : "The <i>Atlanta Journal-Constitution</i> reports that while the Falcons want to take some of the rushing workload off of running back <a class=\"playerLink\" href=\"/players/playerpage/493097/michael-turner\">Michael Turner</a>'s shoulders, the back is still looking good. Turner admitted this week that there will be more passing in the Falcons offense this season but laughed off the notion that his carries will be monitored closely, saying \"they always say that.\" Turner, who turned 30 and has 1,232 total carries in four years with the Falcons (including the postseason), still looks like the rock-solid rusher he always has been according to running back coach Gerald Brown. \"He’s been looking really good,\" Brown said. \"Physically, he’s running the ball well. He’s right on pace, where he should be. We expect the same thing that he’s been giving us. ... Mike is looking good.\"",
"type" : "normal",
"title" : "RB coach stands up for Turner",
"analysis" : "Despite totaling 1,340 rush yards and 11 scores last season, Turner's numbers were downright nasty from Week 12 through Week 16 (280 rush yards, one TD in five games), suggesting that a slow-down is coming. Because Turner got off to a slow start to his career, and because he has less than 1,500 career carries, we're not so sure that such a slowdown is happening so soon. Moreover, he'll be the primary rusher in an offense loaded with dynamic receiving weapons, so he'll never see more than seven defenders in the box. The Falcons also improved their offensive line and will not hesitate to use Turner as a goal-line weapon as they have in the past. We still feel Turner is good enough to use as a No. 1 Fantasy running back, making him worth a late first-/early second-round pick. Even if he's under 300 carries, he should still be productive enough to start on a weekly basis. "

"news" : "Jets receiver <a class=\"playerLink\" href=\"/players/playerpage/413021/santonio-holmes\">Santonio Holmes</a> pulled himself out of Thursday's OTA practice complaining of taking too many reps. Holmes missed some voluntary practice sessions while on a USO-sponsored trip and couldn't hack it upon his return. ESPN reports Holmes had a \"mini-meltdown\" toward the end of the two-hour practice, limping off the field and throwing his helmet. Holmes said he wasn't hurt but was annoyed by the amount of action the coaches wanted from him in practice. \"I was talking to the coach, letting him understand it was too many reps today,\" Holmes said. \"I've been gone for a while, so I can't be at full tempo like the rest of the guys and where they want us to be at.\" ",

"title" : "Holmes complains of too many OTA reps",
"analysis" : "According to ESPN, Holmes was slated for 35 reps and left after roughly 25. Head coach Rex Ryan had no problem with Holmes asking out of practice if it meant him not hurting himself. It sounds like Holmes might have pulled something and just overreacted. We'll see how Holmes is going forward -- he says he's going to work out with Mark Sanchez in California in July -- but he's a big part of the Jets offense this season. If he can't get going, the Jets could struggle to score points. Holmes' stock is slipping as the Jets move to a more run-oriented offense, one that will include Tim Tebow occasionally throwing passes his way. We view Holmes as a No. 3 Fantasy receiver worth a mid-round pick."

"analysis" : "Sounds like we can expect good news in just a little more than a week. Charles has been vocal about being ready for the season, calling himself hungry and passionate to return to form. But the fact remains that he's coming off of a major injury and isn't promised to have any of the explosiveness he had before he got hurt. Tack on the Chiefs' addition of Peyton Hillis (Charles thinks Hillis will get the tough yards and goal-line work like Thomas Jones did previously), and there's a limit to Charles' 2012 expectations. So long as Charles proves that he's ready to roll, Fantasy owners should be optimistic. Assuming he's fine, Charles will be worth taking in the early rounds on Draft Day, but more as a No. 2 Fantasy RB. Plan on drafting Charles between 25th and 35th overall in all leagues."
