July is supposed to be a quiet time for Fantasy Football analysts ... heck, the whole offseason is supposed to be tepid except for draft weekend.

Nuts to that.

If you're looking for the latest news on Brett Favre and his Fantasy implications, I urge you to check out his player profile page or our newest edition to fantasynews.cbssports.com, the Fantasy Take. You'll get up to speed there.

The latest rankings are out -- it's recommended that you consider our positional rankings as well as our Top 200.

Here are the changes made:

- Ravens abound. With the news that Troy Smith is in the driver's seat to start in Baltimore, all Ravens WRs and TEs took a dip in projections, but Mark Clayton and Todd Heap fell in their respective areas, and Demetrius Williams is off the WR board. Some feel that Heap will improve with Smith under center, but I see the entire Ravens passing game grinding with Smith under center. He's far more of a ball-control type of QB who would only play until Joe Flacco is ready to get in there, and Flacco isn't that much better of an option.

- That said, Willis McGahee got a smidge of a rise because he's going to see more carries.

- We also swapped Chad Johnson with Torry Holt on the news that Johnson should be OK for the start of training camp. Holt has also been a wreck on the road for the last 1.5 years.

Outside of a possible projection correction, I doubt we'll see much more movement between now and late July.

I held another mock on Tuesday with a very good crop of drafters, including several people who asked to draft with me. If you'd like to be in a mock draft with me, email me at dmfantasyfootball@cbs.com and put "draft with dave" in the subject line. I'm looking to go every Tuesday at 3:30 p.m. ET.

Here are the results:
