LeCharles Bentley injured
The first major injury has come over the camp wire, and it has more fantasy effect than you think.
Browns starting center LeCharles Bentley tore his patellar tendon during the team's first 11-on-11 drill at camp, potentially ending his season. Bentley signed with Cleveland in the offseason, and was excited about playing in his hometown.
The fantasy value of Reuben Droughns is thrown into question. He had a good 2005 season on the ground, racking up 1262 yards and catching 39 passes. The Browns worked hard to get him a better line to improve upon his 2005 total of two touchdowns. By trading Jeff Faine on draft day, the Browns are left with a large hole in the center of the line. They will be trying to pick up a center from free agency to fill the void.
Droughns isn't a top-20 RB this season, but his value might have slipped even farther down the list. If the Browns can keep their offense healthy, Droughns has a chance at 1200 yards again, but it isn't likely. He's a good RB2 in a deep league, but otherwise is not worth too much.
