When on the field, Gates puts up big numbers, as the favorite target of Phillip Rivers. However, the problem is that Gates has struggled to stay healthy.

He has shown a lot of toughness in playing through a handful of injuries, but some of those same injuries have caused him to miss several games. It appears that Gates is always battling some sort of injury, making owning him frustrating. Gates has a foot issue that will likely plague him all season. Earlier this week I tabbed the Bears as the team you need to run away from on draft day.

The Browns are a very close second. The Browns have Trent Dilfer at quarterback, which is a sure sign of a long season. Dilfer's never been overly productive and shouldn't come near a Fantasy roster except in leagues that start two quarterbacks, and even then he's a backup. The receivers aren't anything to write home about -- including rookie Braylon Edwards , who started training camp working with the fourth team. Tight ends Steve Heiden and Aaron Shea will split time, therefore neither one is a steady option, and the DST will probably rank 32nd this season.

That brings me to the only position worth following: Running back. The favorite to start is Lee Suggs , who has yet to play a full season and has only shown flashes albeit brilliant flashes in his two years. The team acquired Reuben Droughns from Denver; he had a great but is as injury prone as Suggs and may not be used on a full-time basis.

William Green was declared a non-factor until he tallied 66 yards and a TD in the team's first preseason game, so he's making this even murkier. The best advice to offer on the Browns' RBs is to stay away from them unless you absolutely must get a running back.

Suggs is the best bet as of now, but to be safe also draft either Droughns or Green with a later pick. However, none of the three will help carry your team to the championship. In some Fantasy owners' eyes, Drew Bennett is a No. Many of those owners may have rode Bennett to their league championship in thanks to his ridiculous production in Weeks 13 through 15 last season.

As far as we can suspect, don't count on those statistical miracles to continue. There's no doubt that Bennett is a good receiver.
