UPDATED: Thursday, 3:30 p.m.

NFL teams had to get their rosters down to 65 players today and a few notable cuts were made.

Atlanta let go of Peerless Price (WR) and second-year player Michael Jenkins (ATL-WR) is becoming more and more valuable each day. Price will likely catch on somewhere.

Cincinnati cut former No. 4 overall pick Peter Warrick (WR) who never lived up to the hype.
UPDATE: Warrick has since signed a deal with Seattle. Keep an eye on him in the first few weeks of the regular season. If he's on the field, he could prove a useful fantasy backup.

Chad Hutchinson (QB) was released by Chicago after starting two preseason games. Rookie Kyle Orton (CHI-QB) won the job after Hutchinson looked lost under center.

The Houston Texans cut Billy Miller (TE).

The final round of cuts are this Sunday, when all teams must get down to 53.

Also of note:
Eli Manning (NYG-QB) says his arm is fine and that he will play in Week 1.

I also received a question about the fantasy value of rookie Ryan Moats (PHI-RB) this week. Moats' value certainly went up with the announcement that Correll Buckhalter (PHI-RB) will miss the entire season with a knee injury. Moats is worth grabbing in deep fantasy leagues that require three starting running backs per week or as a handcuff if you own Brian Westbrook (PHI-RB). If Westbrook gets injured, Moats' value will skyrocket.
