Big news for fantasy owners.  Steve Slaton is most likely out this week.  Chris Brown has been made the starter, however, Slaton MAY play, but he is a game time decision.

This article indicates that Chris Brown will get the majority of the carries.  It also mentions Chris Henry will be brought up from the practice squad.  But it does not mention Ryan Moats will also be in the mix.  What an ugly RBBC.  I envision it being one of those where carries are split evenly amonst all of them.
