The Facts:
Clayton isn't ready to concede his starting job to the up-and-coming Maurice Stovall. But even Clayton, the embattled fourth-year player in the midst of a fierce battle for No. 2 receiver, can no longer ignore that Stovall has an important role on this team. "The guy is good," Clayton said of Stovall. "He's ready to play right now, and he can do some things in the red zone that not a lot of guys can do. I think that it's real important as an offense to get everybody in the game because that's how we'll maximize the talent."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
In an effort to accomplish that, Clayton envisions himself and Stovall having roles with the first-team offense that will be determined by game situations. Clayton is regarded for his toughness. Meanwhile the 6-5, 220-pound Stovall, also considered a physical player, can create huge mismatches against smaller defensive backs. ... Bottom line? Clayton is by no means a lock to open as the starter opposite Joey Galloway come Week 1.
