As expected, RB Deuce McAllister has been suspended by the NFL due to a violation of the league’s steroid policy.
This greatly increases the value of RB Pierre Thomas, and to a lesser extend RB Reggie Bush (who is still recovering from a knee injury).
Also, it is worth nothing that Vikings DT Pat Williams and Vikings DT Kevin Williams have been suspended, which means that the Vikings run defense should no longer be feared as one of the NFL’s best.
Other players suspended include Saints DE Charles Grant and Saints DE Will Smith, which will also make the Saints defense less effective (although they were never that scary to begin with).
