| Coach McCarthy thinks the Packers' running game is going to be improved in 2008, and he praised second year pro Brandon Jackson, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. McCarthy commented, "I'll tell you, I think Brandon Jackson is a player that you saw at the end of the year, I think Brandon Jackson, when we're sitting here next year, that you're going to say, 'Hey.' He's going to contribute, definitely as a running back, and he may be one of our best special-teams players. Brandon Jackson, what he established later in the year, I'm excited about him." This is encouraging news for Jackson and his fantasy stock should remain on the rise.

|
| Paris Warren could play more with the Buccaneers in 2008, according to the St. Petersburg Times. Coach Gruden commented, "Paris Warren is an interesting guy. He has six touchdowns in eight preseason games. You go back and watch it and say, 'You know, he may be our go-to guy this year. He's beaten this guy. He's beaten that guy. It took me three years to figure Earnest Graham out. When you watch the preseason game … what do we have the preseason games for? There goes Earnest Graham. It's a preseason game. Put him in a regular-season game, and it's, 'You know what? I'm an idiot.' Maybe Paris Warren needs to play."
