The Facts:
Punting always has been a great deal of fun but included no games for Elam. That could change for the veteran placekicker this season, at least on a part-time basis, now that, according to multiple sources, the NFL has informed Todd Sauerbrun he faces a four-game suspension for testing positive for the banned substance ephedra.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Sauerbrun, who left team headquarters without commenting Friday, has informed the team he plans to appeal the decision. In the likely scenario that route should fail, though, Elam will be one of several options who will be considered as a fill-in. Elam was a college punter at Hawaii, but his value on field goals has, in the past, precluded the team from using him in emergency situations.
