The 49ers' acquisition of wide receiver Stevie Johnson is a win for both the team and player.

The Carolina Panthers cut the face of the franchise, Steve Smith, and let the only other three wide receivers on the roster that caught a pass last season leave as free agents. Tight end Greg Olsen is the only proven receiver returning from last season's squad. Olsen should be Cam Newton's favorite target this season.
In-season roster management is key to winning your fantasy football league, but the draft goes a long way towards determining the champ. Value is the most important word when it comes to the draft. Here are a few tips to stay a few moves ahead of your competitors.

Running back Jamaal Charles has become a veritable workhorse for the Kansas City Chiefs, and it is not surprising since he's one of the best backs in the entire NFL. With a new contract extension in place, the Chiefs hope for another great season out of Charles, and they're likely going to get one.
