Also, here are some injuries to keep an eye on.

In a Q&A with Chiefs head coach Todd Haley, Kolby Smith is brought up as a potential starting running back.
Q: Is Kolby [Smith] come along to a point where he can be the starter?
HALEY: “He’s got four weeks now and that’s almost a training camp. He’s worked really hard so I wouldn’t put it past him. I’m still trying to keep it within reason and not have the expectations too high and understand what the situation is. But I would say Kolby Smith is the type of guy who could surprise you.”

I just wanted to take some time and make everyone aware of a few fantasy football notes from around the interwebs.
- Over at FanHouse I wrote a column called Damage Control this morning about injuries sustained on the field in Week 9. Pay special attention to Clinton Portis’ concussion. He’s been on the radio today sounding very much like he won’t play in Week 10 against Denver, even though he wants to.
- Right tackle Mark Tauscher is going to miss a few weeks with a sprained knee. Allen Barbre will start in his place which is great news for the Dallas and San Francisco pass rush. Keep that in mind when making D/St decisions.
- I also just finished Fantasy Football Cut-N-Go over at FanHouse. It’s out version of a daily link-dump and features news about Chris Johnson being such a beast at running back, Jason Hill forcing his way up the San Francisco depth chart and the Giants crowded backfield.

I wrote an article over at FanHouse this morning about the Cubs decision to announce Carlos Marmol as their closer heading into the 2010 season. I may have been a little hard on Marmol with this statement.
While this is good news for Marmol, it’s more a result of Gregg stinking in the closer’s role, more so then Marmol beating him out for the job.
Since taking over the closer role Marmol has a 2.93 ERA and an 1.80 strikeout to walk ratio (18:10 K:BB). Digging a little deeper I found that Marmol has a 1.93 ERA in save situations and a 5.74 ERA in non-save situations. It looks as if the really poor pitching came when Marmol was in a set-up role, not as a closer.
Could Marmol be a completely different pitcher as a closer versus a set-up guy?
