Any changes in these position battles? (1 Viewer)

I'm trying to stay on top of these situations to be better prepared for this weekend's draft, but I just haven't heard terribly much about the following situations. Total uncertainty for me:

Jacksonville WR battle - Jones vs Williams

Has the #1 WR been decided without me knowing? I was thinking Jones could be a huge value play as the new #1 WR, but now I see he's fighting a minor ankle injury at camp which makes me wonder where he's really going to end up in the depth chart.

Chicago RB battle - Jones vs Benson

I was thinking Benson was going to slide in and take over, but now that both are injured (minor though it may be), I'm back to being confused as to who the go-to-guy will be. Has there been any "official" decision mentioned on this?

San Fran RB battle - Barlow vs Gore

Less widely discussed than Denver's RB war is this one. I can't get a clear vibe yet for who is going to be the starter, or if it will be RBBC. Gore was hot at the end of last year's season, but I might not pull the trigger so fast if this is going to be a 50/50 shared load.

Tennessee RB battle - Brown vs Henry vs White

With Brown trade rumors flying, I guess there is no clear picture to be had here unless I'm missing something. If Brown is traded, would they seriously just turn things over to White?

Just a heads up - you don't mean K.Jones vs Benson (as per the title). You mean T.Jones vs Benson.
 
Are you looking for updates or opinions? I don't have any official updates, but by then it's usually too late to get a value on a guy. My opinions?

Jones is the clear #1, and the ankle injury is no big deal. Wilford has taken advantage of the time to show he's worth something, but neither Wilford nor Williams is going to take the Jimmy Smith slot from Jones.

Jones isn't practicing and now neither is Benson. Very up in the air, so I'd take whichever is cheaper in your draft.

Gore is a better back than Barlow and will take Barlow's job and his lunch money.

Brown will get traded to the NYJ, and White will be the primary back. Henry can't be relied on b/c he's one strike from a year-long suspension. If Brown doesn't get traded I still expect White to get goaline work, and also to get every opportunity to take the starting job. Assuming you're not scared of the character issues, he's the clear choice.
