Road paved for Rivers to start: Linebacker Odell Thurman was released by the Bengals on Monday, one month after he was reinstated by the NFL from a two-year suspension. Thurman failed to attend the team's three voluntary workouts last week, when he was in Georgia following the death of his grandmother. The Bengals are installing a new defense, and wanted him to participate. That likely means that Keith Rivers is expected to land his spot as a starter in the Bengals' defense, possibly in the middle.

Fantasy Analysis
Rivers should end up being this season's Patrick Willis, being a 100-total-tackler in a defense that's good, not great. He'll end up as a low-end No. 2/top-end No. 3 Fantasy LB in 2008, making him a middle- to late-round pick in seasonal drafts and a top-20 pick in rookie-only drafts this summer. Obviously, the upside is huge. (Updated 05/19/2008).
