Steady
News:
Prioleau will play mostly on special teams, according to the Saints' website.
Analysis:
Prioleau is entering his tenth year and the Saints are his fifth team. This move reduces his value in IDP, not that he had much in the first place. (SportsBuff.com)

Hot
News:
Huber, a fifth round pick from the University of Cincinnati, will enter the season as the Bengals' punter. The team cut Kyle Larson and Ryan Plackmeier in April to clear the way for Huber, according to Cincinnati Enquirer.
Analysis:
I just heard about a league that uses punters, so this player update is for you. Huber, who kicks with his left foot, will also hold on PAT and field goals by Shayne Graham. No word on what kind of points kick holds accrue. (SportsBuff.com)

News:
White told the Tennessean that he is going to work hard to maintain his current weight of 230 pounds. He said that he ballooned to 260 pounds last season.
Analysis:
The newspaper notes that White is entering the last year of his contract. More optimistically, White says that his reduced weight has him feeling good. The former USC back was a TD machine last year. (SportsBuff.com)
