Derrick

Ross

O’Sullivan is property of the Bears. He split the award with Chiefs-allocated RB Derrick Ross. DE Jason Hall (Panthers) was named defensive MVP after registering 12 sacks, including a streak of one in seven games straight. None of the above are likely to make their NFL teams out of training camp.

Kolby Smith, undrafted rookie Marcus O’Keith, and former NFL Europa star Derrick Ross could all help in a rotation if Johnson gets hurt or holds out. Bennett’s inability to stay healthy makes him one of the poorer handcuffs in fantasy football. We’re betting Smith passes him during the year.

He’s second to Derrick Ross (Chiefs) in rushing yards, although both are averaging under four yards-per-carry. Barclay has been an electrifying return man in Europe and has a chance to make Cleveland’s roster out of training camp. Ross could struggle to do so with Kolby Smith in town.

Ross, who played college ball at little-known Tarleton State, beat out Quentin Griffin and McKenzi Smith to be Kansas City’s fourth back.

With the game out of reach, Ross got a few touches. He has a chance to pass Dee Brown on the depth chart.

Ross, a Tarleton State alum, was Kansas City’s story of training camp. He was active in Week 5 but did not receive a carry. It won’t be a surprise if Ross passes Dee Brown on the depth chart in the coming weeks.

Ross has been inactive the past two contests. With Damon Huard able to start, Green won’t be rushed back. Sapp should return in Week 9.

Ross followed an impressive training camp with three regular-season carries. He’ll get experience and could land on the practice squad in ’07.

Griffin is backed up by John David Washington (property of the Rams) and Tony Hollings, another free agent. Derrick Ross (Chiefs), Gerald Riggs Jr. (Bears), and Chris Barclay (Browns) are also in the league.
