Montario Hardesty manages to carry the ball five times without getting injured, causing Weenieworld to take note of his monumental achievement:

Montario Hardesty was held to 15 yards on five carries against the Eagles in his preseason debut Thursday night. All five carries came on one drive. He survived without setback, showing nothing remarkable as a straight-line runner with little wiggle to his game. At least early in the season, Hardesty doesn't look like a major threat to Peyton Hillis' workload.

(Updated 09/06/2011)

Fantasy Analysis

The Giants defenders are dropping like flies. First, Osi Umenyiora is expected to miss the start of the season with lingering hip and knee problems. Then, the Giants lose star cornerback Terrell Thomas for the season with a torn ACL. Now, Goff, another starter, joins the mix. It could be a very tough season for the Giants defense if they can't overcome these injuries. New York has a favorable matchup in Week 1 against the Redskins, so you might consider using the Giants DST in Fantasy despite these mounting issues.

Berry lost for the season: NFL.com reports that Chiefs safety Eric Berry has been diagnosed with a torn ACL, suffered in the team's Week 1 loss to Buffalo. He will miss the remainder of the season as a result.
(Updated 09/12/2011)

Fantasy Analysis

Not only will Berry be done for this season, but this type of injury could put his status for the beginning of the 2012 season in doubt. One of the top DB options in IDP formats, this will be a tough blow to overcome. Sabby Piscotelli should see more playing time in his absence at strong safety, but does not have anywhere near the upside of Berry.
