Odell Beckham Jr. #13 of the New York Giants looks on against the Cincinnati Bengals during a preseason game at Paul Brown Stadium on August 14, 2015 in Cincinnati, Ohio. The Bengals defeated the Giants 23-10. "

Ryan Matthews (Running Back) (Philadelphia Eagles): Matthews is playing second fiddle to DeMarco Murray this season and this will limit his carries significantly. In San Diego he could not maintain the workload that a lead back is given in the NFL and was routinely injured. Now like Murray he looks to stay healthy by having his carries limited. The only thing that these tactics will do is lower both backs fantasy value.

Terrance West (Running Back)(Tennessee Titans): The Titans will use West as the lead back after they traded for him with the Cleveland Browns. West is an undisciplined runner who will leave a lot of yards on the field. The Titans offensive line is nothing to write home about either so it may be best to only view West as a late round option.

Alfred Blue (Running Back)(Houston Texans): Blue was the default starting running back for the Houston Texans when Arian Foster went down with an injury. Blue is an indecisive running back who struggles to find the hole. Blue will likely be replaced with a committee approach and Arian Foster's supposed late September return should lower his ADP even further.

Odell Beckham JR (Wide Receiver)(New York Giants): Beckham is the Madden cover boy and thus comes with the Madden Curse. Think about it Adrian Peterson after his Madden cover he was suspended, Calvin Johnson was injured after his and Peyton Hillis has fallen off the map. Beckham has already dealt with preseason injuries and is currently playing on a very anemic Giants team. Cruz will likely be gone for parts of the season causing defenses to key in on Beckham. Beckham will have his games but drafting him in the first or second round is setting yourself up for failure.

DeSean Jackson (Wide Receiver) (Washington Redskins): The Redskins are going to use Jackson as the team's deep threat however with the instability surrounding the quarterback position he will likely be the best of a bad situation.
