Do you like to gamble? If so, here are the NFL players who represent the biggest risks in the 2009 fantasy football season. These are players you should definitely avoid if you don’t like walking on the wild side.
QB Carson Palmer, Cincinnati Bengals
He’s coming back from an elbow injury that knocked him out last season. While he’s reportedly healthy, it’s not too difficult to imagine him getting re-injured. On top of that, the top wide receiver on his team is the wideout formerly known as Chad Johnson — enough said.
RB LaDainian Tomlinson, San Diego Chargers

Chris Henry of the Cincinnati Bengals has been activated following a four game suspension. Henry, who has seen his share of trouble with the law, immediately becomes a player of interest in fantasy football.

However, not only is this good news for Henry, this is very good news for Carson Palmer. Palmer has been a below average …read more

Quarterback – Carson Palmer, Cincinnati Bengals
In Week 1, Carson Palmer went up against an amped Baltimore Ravens squad. He didn’t perform well but all hope isn’t lost. His schedule gets easier and he has two of the best wide receivers in the game in Chad Johnson (or Chad Ocho Cinco) and TJ Houshmandzadeh.
Running Back – Maurice Jones-Drew, Jacksonville Jaguars
Maurice Jones-Drew didn’t get many carries and didn’t do much in the carries he did get. But don’t think he’s in line for a poor season. MJD started off slow last year and ended up playing very well …read more

Chad Johnson of the Cincinnati Bengals finds his name in the lights once again. This time, the news is bad. According to a report, the Bengals have learned that Johnson has a partially torn labrum.
