Lions make cuts Saturday Lions make cuts Saturday Updated 8/30/2008
Artose Pinner, RB DET
News: Detroit announced Saturday that they have released the following players to get their roster down to 53: WR Ron Bellamy; LB Darnell Bing; S Greg Blue; LB Buster Davis; DE Victor DeGrate; CB Dovonte Edwards; WR Devale Ellis; DE Rudolph Hardie; TE Clark Harris; QB Drew Henson; S LaMarcus Hicks; LB Leon Joe; WR Brandon Middleton; WR Kenneth Moore; RB Artose Pinner; WR John Standeford and CB Kiwaukee Thomas. Analysis: Out of the players mentioned above, the biggest name is that of Pinner. With the Lions already having placed RBs Brian Calhoun and Aveion Cason on IR, that leaves the team with just Tatum Bell and rookie Kevin Smith for carries. Pinner was solid as a backup since he's gotten to the league and should catch on elsewhere. However, he has little to no Fantasy value until that happens. None of the rest of the aforementioned players have any Fantasy relevance at this time.
Smith averages 4.8 YPC in limited time Smith averages 4.8 YPC in limited time Updated 8/17/2008
Artose Pinner, RB DET
News: Lions rookie RB Kevin Smith again started Sunday's preseason game against the Bengals, however his statistics weren't that solid. Smith finished with just 19 yards on four carries before ending his night. Projected starter Tatum Bell entered to start the second quarter and performed worse. He ran for just nine yards on five carries. Third-string RB Artose Pinner led the team in rushing with 52 yards on 13 carries but most of those came against the Bengals defensive scrubs. Analysis: Pinner could have rushed for 150 yards and would still be just the third-string RB behind Tatum Bell and Smith. He's got no Fantasy value unless one or both of them get hurt. Smith, on the other hand, will enter 2008 as the No. 2 on a team that has committed to running the ball more. The former NCAA yardage champion has more upside than Bell and we think he'll probably have the better year, too. Smith does have 1,000-total-yard potential so long as he sees regular playing time. Draft him as a No. 3 Fantasy RB worth a pick between Rounds 5 and 7 in drafts. He's obviously a first-round choice in rookie-only drafts.

Pinner rejoins the Lions Pinner rejoins the Lions Updated 5/2/2008
Artose Pinner, RB NO
News: The Lions re-signed free agent running back Artose Pinner to a one-year deal Thursday, reacquiring a player they drafted in 2003. The 5-foot-10, 232-pound Pinner is entering his sixth NFL season. He has played in 47 regular-season games and totaled 250 rushes for 858 yards and eight touchdowns. He also has 39 receptions for 308 yards. Analysis: Pinner will provide depth at the running back position in Detroit and won't post helpful statistics unless he finds regular playing time. Tatum Bell and Kevin Smith would have to miss time for that to happen. Pinner is not worth drafting in any league this summer.
Saints swap Pinner for Palko Saints swap Pinner for Palko Updated 12/30/2007
Artose Pinner, RB NO
News: Prior to their Week 17 game at Chicago, the Saints cut RB Artose Pinner and re-signed QB Tyler Palko to their roster. Palko will serve as their No. 3/emergency QB. Analysis: Neither player is worth a look in Fantasy play.
Saints sign pair of running backs Saints sign pair of running backs Updated 12/26/2007
Artose Pinner, RB ATL
News: Saints RBs Reggie Bush (knee) and Aaron Stecker (turf toe) both missed practice Wednesday in preparation for Week 17 at Chicago. They're both considered questionable for the game. Coach Sean Payton didn't rule either running back out, but how serious are their injuries? New Orleans signed RBs Artose Pinner and Chris Barclay on Wednesday. Analysis: Pinner and Barclay would be nothing more than reserve options to provide depth in case Bush and/or Stecker miss time. Neither new Saints RB is worth a look in Fantasy play.
Falcons waive RB Pinner Falcons waive RB Pinner Updated 12/12/2007
Artose Pinner, RB ATL
News: The Falcons waived backup RB Artose Pinner on Wednesday. Analysis: Pinner did not and is not expected to post enough stats to warrant use in Fantasy play. Keep him off rosters.
Falcons name their Week 14 inactives Falcons name their Week 14 inactives Updated 12/10/2007
Artose Pinner, RB ATL
News: The Falcons' list of inactives for Week 14 against the Saints includes RB Artose Pinner, DB Jimmy Williams, DB Antoine Harris, DL Jesse Mahelona and TE Courtney Anderson. Analysis: None of these players contributes enough statistically even when active to matter in Fantasy. Leave all on waivers.
Falcons/Rams inactives named Falcons/Rams inactives named Updated 12/2/2007
Artose Pinner, RB ATL
News: For the Falcons, QB Byron Leftwich (tailbone), RB Artose Pinner (coach's decision), DB Jimmy Williams (coach's decision), RB Corey McIntyre (coach's decision) and DL Jesse Mahelona (coach's decision) were all named inactive for Atlanta's Week 13 game at St. Louis. For the Rams, QB Marc Bulger (concussion), DL James Hall (ankle), WR Dante Hall (ankle), DB Eric Bassey (knee), TE Dominique Byrd (coach's decision) and third QB/WR Marques Hagans were also named inactive. Analysis: Leftwich's tailbone injury forces him to be the emergency third QB today. Chris Redman will back up Joey Harrington. Bulger is in active as expected for the Rams. Gus Frerotte starts with Brock Berlin backing him up. WR Marques Hagan will be the emergency third QB for St. Louis.
Blakley, Pinner inactive for Falcons Blakley, Pinner inactive for Falcons Updated 11/22/2007
Artose Pinner, RB ATL
News: The Falcons listed TE Dwayne Blakley and RB Artose Pinner among their inactives for Week 12 against the Colts. Analysis: Neither contributes enough statistically to have Fantasy value even when active. Keep both on waivers for Week 13 at St. Louis.
Falcons name Week 11 inactives Falcons name Week 11 inactives Updated 11/18/2007
Artose Pinner, RB ATL
News: The Falcons's list of inactives for Week 11 against the Buccaneers includes QB Chris Redman, RB Artose Pinner, TE Courtney Anderson and DL Tim Anderson. Analysis: None of these players makes enough of a statistical impact to have Fantasy value even when healthy. The Falcons host the Colts in Week 12, playing on Thanksgiving Day.
Pinner gets one carry in Week 10 Pinner gets one carry in Week 10 Updated 11/11/2007
Artose Pinner, RB ATL
News: Falcons RB Artose Pinner had one carry for a loss of three yards in Week 10 at Carolina. Analysis: Pinner didn't get many touches even though backup Jerious Norwood was inactive with an injury. If he didn't get much action in Week 11, he likely won't at all this season. Leave him on the waiver wire in all leagues.
Falcons list Week 9 inactives Falcons list Week 9 inactives Updated 11/4/2007
Artose Pinner, RB ATL
News: The Falcons listed QB Byron Leftwich (ankle), TE Alge Crumpler (knee, ankle), RB Artose Pinner (coach's decision), LB Stephen Nicholas (ankle) and DL Tim Anderson (coach's decision) as inactive for Week 9 vs. the Falcons. Analysis: Crumpler and Leftwich are the only two players worth owning in Fantasy at this time, but they are both low-end options for now. Crumpler will have another full week to recover in time for Week 10 at Carolina and should be healthy for that game. Leftwich will jump back into a QB controversy when he's healthy. Keep the rest of these players on the waiver wire.
Artose Pinner doesn't record stats Artose Pinner doesn't record stats Updated 10/21/2007
Artose Pinner, RB ATL
News: Falcons RB Artose Pinner played but didn't record a stat Week 7 at New Orleans. Analysis: Pinner sits behind both Warrick Dunn and Jerious Norwood on the depth chart, meaning he rarely sees touches and has no Fantasy value. The Falcons have a bye in Week 8 before hosting the 49ers in Week 9.
Falcons list Week 6 inactives Falcons list Week 6 inactives Updated 10/15/2007
Artose Pinner, RB ATL
News: The Falcons' list of inactives for Week 6 against the Giants includes RB Artose Pinner, DB Daren Stone, LB Stephen Nicholas and DL Montavious Stanley. Analysis: These players are all either reserves on offense or minor statistical contributors on defense. Keep them on the waiver wire.
Pinner gains 49 yards on fake punt Pinner gains 49 yards on fake punt Updated 10/7/2007
Artose Pinner, RB ATL
News: Falcons RB Artose Pinner had 49 yards rushing Week 5 at the Titans, but all of them came on a fake punt in the second quarter. Analysis: The Falcons usually give Pinner one or two carries a game, but he sits firmly behind Warrick Dunn and Jerious Norwood on the depth chart. Keep him on the waiver wire for Week 6 against the Giants.
Pinner carries twice for nothing Pinner carries twice for nothing Updated 9/30/2007
Artose Pinner, RB ATL
News: Falcons RB Artose Pinner netted zero yards on two carries Week 4 against the Texans. Analysis: The Falcons seem to like Pinner in short-yardage situations, though he hasn't given them much reason to. Keep him on the waiver wire Week 5 at the Titans.
Four Falcons don't stat Week 3 Four Falcons don't stat Week 3 Updated 9/23/2007
Artose Pinner, RB ATL
News: Falcons WR Laurent Robinson, QB Chris Redman, RB Artose Pinner and RB Corey McIntyre didn't record meaningful statistics in the Falcons' Week 3 loss against the Panthers. Analysis: All four players rank low on the Falcons depth chart and have no Fantasy value. Keep them reserved Week 4 against the Texans.
Pinner gets nothing on one carry Pinner gets nothing on one carry Updated 9/16/2007
Artose Pinner, RB ATL
News: Falcons RB Artose Pinner failed miserably on a third-and-1 attempt early in Week 2's game at the Jaguars, gaining nothing. The Falcons didn't use him on offense the rest of the game. Analysis: Pinner had his golden opportunity to shine and blew it. Seriously, you don't want this guy on your Fantasy team. Considering they added him after the preseason, the Falcons barely want him on theirs.
Three Falcons don't record stats Three Falcons don't record stats Updated 9/9/2007
Artose Pinner, RB ATL
News: Falcons RB Artose Pinner, RB Corey McIntyre and QB Chris Redman didn't make a statistical contribution during Week 1's 24-3 loss at the Vikings. Analysis: Pinner and Redman are reserves who won't record statistics unless an injury occurs. McIntyre is a fullback who, by design, won't ever contribute useful statistics. Keep all reserved in Week 2 at the Jaguars.
