Wait no more, as the NFL will release the 2014 Regular Season Schedule on Wednesday at 8 PM ET.
Chris Johnson signs with Jets
Chris Johnson has agreed to a 2- year deal with the New York Jets. It is my guess he is on a trial basis, working on an incentive program. The quarterback situation is ambiguous, so the Jets look to lean on the ground game. Johnson will join Chris Ivory in the backfield in what looks to be another NFL platoon. CJ2k is an intriguing pick in fantasy land.
Andre Brown signs with the Texans
Andre Brown is headed to Houston to join the Texans. Brown is an intriguing player that saw his season derailed due to injury in 2013. As a back up to Arian Foster, he will have flex value certain weeks. Brown should see a decent amount of carries. Training camp will give indication on what the split may be. In addition he could see regular snaps if Foster were to miss any significant time, Brown would have tremendous value.

Anthony Rizzo went 1 for 4 with his third home run on the season, in todays game against the Diamondbacks. He is hitting .316 on the season, along with 10 RBIs. If Rizzo can keep his K's down this year, he could be in store for a bounce back season.
Tony Cingrani pitches well today
Tony Cingrani pitched well this afternoon in the win against the Pirates. He went six innings, allowing one run, and had 7 strikeouts. Cingrani has 30 strikeouts and a 2.83 ERA through five starts this season. Continue to roll Cingrani out there in your fantasy leagues.
Lance Lynn loses 1st game of the season
Taking his first loss of the season, Lance Lynn gave up three runs only two of which were earned in 6 1/3 innings of work. Lynn racked up 9 Ks, while allowing 4 hits. The lack of offensive production from the Cardinals did not help Lynn's cause. Lynn will be great source of K's throughout the year for your fantasy teams. He will look to get back in the win column in his next start against the Brewers.
Arsenal retained control of 4th place in the table on Monday, defeating Newcastle United at the Emirates 3-0.

Laurent Koscielny and Oliver Giroud also picked up a goal each as The Gunners made easy work of a struggling Newcastle club, who now have lost 7 of their last 8 matches. Arsenal will host West Brom …
Yaya Toure, Manchester City – MID
Returning to action after suffering a groin injury that potentially could have ended his season, Toure fueled a 2-0 victory over a hot Crystal Palace club. The win not only effectively ended a 5 match streak by Palace, but also put City right back into the drivers seat for the EPL title after Liverpool's loss only hours earlier. Edin Dzeko picked up the 1st goal just 4 minutes in, heading home a well-placed cross from Toure. City's lead was then doubled when Toure made a beautiful run before placing a shot into the upper left corner.
Demba Ba, Chelsea – FWD
A season of twists and turns continued on Sunday as The Blues went into Anfield and defeated Liverpool 2-0, taking control of the EPL title out of the home sides hands. Chelsea will need both Manchester City and Liverpool to drop points yet to bring home the title, however. Capitalizing on a Steven Gerrard slip, Ba broke in on goal and finished nicely to put Chelsea ahead for a 1-0 lead just before the half. Chelsea sealed the match on a two man break when Fernando Torres dished off perfectly to Willian for a walk-in score.
