Cut-N-Go is Fantasy Football FanHouse's daily gathering of links from around the web, covering the goings-on in NFL Training Camp which have an impact on fantasy value.Taking over the helm from Sports Illustrated's Jimmy Traina over at Hot Clicks, today one of the sports world's most colorful characters, Chris Cooley shares his sleeper fantasy picks for the 2009 fantasy season. Cooley's picks look good, though he doesn't exactly swing for the fences, preferring safer bets like Chad Ochocinco and Anthony Gonzalez to deeper sleepers. Chris makes an interesting selection in Brent Celek however, after he made waves late last season with one particularly notable postseason game where he lassoed in 10 balls and two touchdowns.
If Cooley's sleepers don't pique your interest, he also shares a half naked picture of his wife for whatever reason.

• The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports that Cleveland head coach Eric Mangini attempted to slow the James Davis hype train, explaining that he is impressed, but that the competition still exists and he is not a sure thing to start. The consensus outside the inner circle seems that Davis is the resoundingly better back, but all three guys (Jamal Lewis, James Harrison, and James Davis) should see touches in varying situations, at least in the near term.
• An Arizona ABC affiliate ABC15 scoured the internet for some good 2009 team names.
• Looking for a low hanging running back who will get a good number of touches? The Cincinnati Enquirer called Thursday night's Bengals win the "Cedric Benson Show." Benson appears to have the job locked down and will provide a good source of carries if you prefer to spend your first few rounds shoring up the receiving crew and quarterback spot.
• Fantasy Football lynch pin, Brandon Funston provided the New York Times with three crucial tips for draft day. I like that Matt Schaub got the nod as a good quarterback value, because I used this same strategy last night and my starting quarterback will be a rotating Schaub/Hasselbeck mix.
• Just as it seemed perpetual waiver wire desperado Samkon Gado had begun climbing his way back to relevance as the St. Louis backup, St. Louis Today reports Gado suffered a rib injury in Thursday night's preseason game.
• One of the remaining burning questions remains that of the Bronco-like backfield situation in New England. At this point five guys will be competing for carries, but the Bleacher Report suggests that Benjarvus Green-Ellis, aka the Law Firm (ha), stated his case with 29 carries for 125 yards on Thursday in a win against the Giants. At this point Sammy Morris, Fred Taylor, and Kevin Faulk still look to have larger roles than Green-Ellis, but don't put anything past New England.
