Ravens WR Derrick Mason announced his unretirement on Saturday, about 2 weeks after stating he'd retire. There's a whole host of rumors going around as to why he retired in the first place, starting with the emotional aftermath of Steve McNair's death to wanting a raise. It's hard to know exactly what his reasoning is, but the Ravens will stop flirting with free agent WRs now.
Fantasy Impact: I left Mason off of my draft guide as he was retired at the time I wrote it. He'll probably be overdrafted as a WR3/4 this season after his excellent 2008 campaign. As I've written before, I'd much rather jump off a player's bandwagon a year too early than a year too late, and Mason certainly falls into that category. There are younger, more exciting WRs to take around his ADP, which is currently 199.7, or mostly undrafted. I expect that to work itself back into the WR4 range, and there are probably people that will take him as a WR3. Don't be that guy.
I have also updated Mark Clayton as well as he is no longer draftable.
