Profootball Weekly should be a MUST stop on your nightly fantasy loop.

The brief, yet highly informative pieces are very informative to an NFL fan or fantasy nut.

The Chiefs knew they were drafting a starting safety when they took Eric Berry in the first round in April, but they didn't realize they were likely drafting another one in Round Five in Kendrick Lewis. With restricted free agent Jarrad Page still unsigned and missing the entire offseason program, Lewis frequently has been running with Berry on the first team, doing some positive things in OTAs, such as returning an interception for a touchdown. From what we hear, the rookie from Ole Miss has the inside track on one of the starting jobs, especially with the disgruntled Page being a possible trade candidate. The first player from the team's 2010 draft class to sign, Lewis is a smart, aggressive player who isn't afraid to take charge. Although the pairing of he and Berry will leave the Chiefs very inexperienced in the defensive backfield, it should be an improvement over last year's veteran duo of Mike Brown and Jon McGraw, which struggled to prevent big plays.

Agreed. I put Lewis in my top 60 as a placeholder a couple of weeks ago until we get some indication of how the Chiefs will use him and Berry. Definitely some upside to be had here if he plays SS. May not be a Tyvon Branch in the making, but it wouldn't be shocking to see him have starting value if he earns playing time and opportunity.

Decent numbers last week. Wondering what the scoop is with him (did he start/is he starting now and why)

Been starting all season, though I think he may have missed one week to injury. Last week was mostly fluky, but it's possible that he's growing into the position a bit.
