Phenoms FF - OMEGA 20 #2 News Articles |
| # | Headline | Summary | Published | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1. | Heap not likely to play | (Rotoworld) Todd Heap (ribs) missed practice every day this week and he is considered unlikely to play. Analysis: Heap is a game-time decision, but expect L.J. Smith to get the start. Heap confirmed that his rib is not cracked or broken, making a return to the lineup for Week 12 very possible. Don't use either of the Ravens' tight ends in fantasy. | 3 hours | |
| 2. | Breaston limited Friday, should play Sunday | (FFChamps) Arizona Cardinals' wide receiver Steve Breaston (knee) was limited in Friday's practice, but is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the St. Louis Rams. Analysis: Breaston should play, and the Cardinals will throw. The Rams' secondary gets torched on a regular basis, and this weekend should be no different. Breaston is a top-15 play at wideout this Sunday, and owners should insert him into their Week 11 starting lineups in all formats. | 16 hours | |
| 3. | Coles probable | (FFChamps) Cincinnati Bengals' wide receiver Laveranues Coles (head) practiced fully on Friday, and is listed as probable for the team's game versus the Oakland Raiders. Analysis: Coles will most likely be good-to-go for Sunday. You have to think Chad Ochocinco will be blanketed by all-world cover specialist Nnamdi Asomugha for most of the contest, so Coles may get even more looks than normal this weekend (though, as it stands, he has led the team in targets over the past two weeks). Coles is no longer the deep threat he was in New York, but he is a v... (More) | 18 hours | |
| 4. | Berrian limited again | (FFChamps) Minnesota Vikings' wide receiver Bernard Berrian (hamstring) was limited in practice again on Friday, and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Seattle Seahawks. Analysis: Sidney Rice and Percy Harvin are both better targets at this point, and Visanthe Shiancoe is the preferred red-zone target for Old Man Favre. Hamstrings have a tendency to linger and limit a player's burst off the line, and both have been true for Berrian. However, all that said, Berrian still has fantasy value, and if healthy, could make for a decent No... (More) | 18 hours | |
| 5. | Kyle Orton to be game-time decision | (FFToolbox) Denver Broncos quarterback Kyle Orton has been unable to practice all week due to a sprained ankle that he suffered last week. Yet, head coach Josh McDaniels said that there is "absolutely" a chance that he plays in a very important game against the San Diego Chargers. Orton didn't practice with the first-team offense all week -- those reps went to Chris Simms, who would start in Orton's place if he can't play. One reason Orton didn't practice Friday was because the team figured more rehabilitation on the ankle was more of a benefit than ... (More) | 20 hours | |
| 6. | Marshall practices Friday | (FFChamps) Denver Broncos' wide receiver Brandon Marshall put in another full day of practice on Friday, and is listed as probable to face the San Diego Chargers. Analysis: All indications are that Marshall will be out there against San Diego. The bigger concern in Denver (and to Brandon's fantasy owners) is who will be getting the ball to him on Sunday. Marshall had two long scores in the first half last weekend against Washington before Orton went down, and the two seem to be developing a chemistry that wasn't there initially after Jay Cutler's departure. If Orton is too banged up to play, More) | 21 hours | |
| 7. | Broncos | Orton misses practice Friday | (KFFL) Updating a previous report, Denver Broncos QB Kyle Orton (ankle) did not participate in practice Friday, Nov. 20. He is listed as questionable for Week 11. | 22 hours | |
| 8. | Orton misses practice but not ruled out for Sunday | (FFChamps) Broncos quarterback Kyle Orton did not practice on Friday, missing his third straight practice this week because of his sprained ankle. Head coach Josh McDaniels did not rule Orton out, telling the Denver Post that there is "absolutely" a chance Orton will play on Sunday despite missing the entire week of practice. Analysis: It appears that Orton learned nothing from last season when he rushed back from an ankle injury and it clearly affected the rest of his season in a negative way, however, the injury last year was on his right foot which he uses to plant before he releases the ball, where... (More) | 22 hours | |
| 9. | Vikings | Favre probable for Week 11 | (KFFL) Minnesota Vikings QB Brett Favre (hip, groin) fully participated in practice Friday, Nov. 20. He is listed as probable for Week 11 and is expected to play. | 23 hours | |
| 10. | Randy Moss | (RotoWire) Moss is not listed on the Patriots' injury report for Sunday's game against the Jets, the Boston Globe reports. Analysis: The last time the Patriots faced the Jets, cornerback Darrelle Revis held Moss to four catches for 24 yards. Revis is the real deal, but the Patriots' offense -- and that includes the rapport between QB Tom Brady and Moss -- has been clicking of late, so what happened back in Week 2 shouldn't deter you from rolling with Moss, who we are guessing would like to turn the tables around on Sunday. | 1 day | |
| 11. | Ravens | Heap questionable for Week 11 | (KFFL) Jamison Hensley, of The Baltimore Sun, reports Baltimore Ravens TE Todd Heap (chest) did not participate in practice Friday, Nov. 20. He is listed as questionable for Week 11 and said he will be a game-time decision. | 1 day | |
| 12. | Ravens | Flacco probable for Week 11 | (KFFL) Jamison Hensley, of The Baltimore Sun, reports Baltimore Ravens QB Joe Flacco (knee) fully participated in practice Friday, Nov. 20. He is listed as probable for Week 11 and will be able to play. | 1 day | |
| 13. | Favre listed as probable | (Rotoworld) Brett Favre (hip) is listed as probable for Week 11. Analysis: Favre is a top-ten fantasy option Sunday versus Seattle. | 1 day | |
| 14. | Brett Favre | (RotoWire) Favre (groin/hip) is listed as probable against Seattle. Analysis: He was able to practice all week, so this really shouldn't be a concern. | 1 day | |
| 15. | Coles to face the Raiders | (Rotoworld) Laveranues Coles (head, probable) practiced in full Friday. Analysis: Coles will face the Raiders, but isn't a recommended fantasy play. | 1 day | |
| 16. | Bengals | Coles probable for Week 11 | (KFFL) Joe Reedy, of The Cincinnati Enquirer, reports Cincinnati Bengals WR Laveranues Coles (head) participated in practice Friday, Nov. 20. He is listed as probable for Week 11 and will be able to play. | 1 day | |
| 17. | Joe Flacco | (RotoWire) Coach John Harbaugh said there is no injury concern with Flacco even though he has been listed on the Ravens' practice participation/ injury report this week with a knee issue, the Baltimore Sun reports. Analysis: Flacco hasn't missed any practice time, underlining that whatever is ailing his knee is minor. He'll take aim at a banged-up Colts' secondary this week that will be starting two rookie cornerbacks. | 1 day | |
| 18. | Kyle Orton | (RotoWire) Orton (sprained left ankle) missed his third consecutive practice Friday, the Denver Post reports. Coach Josh McDaniels says that Orton's availability for Sunday's game against San Diego will be a game-time decision. Analysis: McDaniels says that Orton will be put through a workout before Sunday's game and how he performs at that time will determine whether he plays or not. Given the fact that the Broncos play during the second wave of games Sunday, Orton probably isn't worth the risk, even in deep leagues, unless you have his backup Chris Simms handy for a last-minute plug-in. | 1 day | |
| 19. | Todd Heap to be game-day decision | (Rotoworld) Todd Heap (ribs) will be a game-time decision Sunday against the Colts. Analysis: The Colts defend tight ends very well, so Heap won't be much of a fantasy option even if he plays. He's only the No. 17 overall TE in fantasy anyhow. | 1 day | |
| 20. | Broncos | Orton to be game-time decision | (KFFL) Updating a previous report, ESPN.com reports Denver Broncos QB Kyle Orton (ankle) will be a game-time decision in Week 11. | 1 day | |
| 21. | Orton misses practice, listed as questio... | (Rotoworld) Kyle Orton (ankle) was held out of practice for a third straight day Friday and is listed as questionable for Week 11. Analysis: While missing practice all week is a bad sign, coach Josh McDaniels said that Orton "absolutely" still has a chance to start against San Diego. Orton will be worked out in pre-game warmups before his status for the game is determined. The Broncos and Chargers don't play until 4:15ET, so Orton is an obvious "sit" in standard leagues. Chris Simms will start if Orton can't. | 1 day | |
| 22. | Laveranues Coles | (RotoWire) Coles (head) practiced fully Friday and is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Raiders, the Bengals' official site reports. Analysis: It looks safe to roll with Coles, who has 11 catches over his last two games, as you normally would. | 1 day | |
| 23. | Orton missed practice Thursday | (TheHuddle) Denver Broncos QB Kyle Orton (ankle) did not participate in practice Thursday, Nov. 19. The Broncos have not ruled him out for Week 11 and said he is feeling better. Analysis: Don't hold your breath regarding Orton. A lot of this talk is probably meant to create doubt in the mind of San Diego's defensive coordinator as to who is going to be under center for Denver in Week 11. Assume Orton will sit. | 1 day | |
| 24. | Broncos | Orton will not practice Friday, could play Week 11 | (KFFL) Frack Schwab, of the Colorado Springs Gazette, reports Denver Broncos QB Kyle Orton (ankle) will not participate in practice Friday, Nov. 20, but head coach Josh McDaniels said Orton has a chance to play Week 11. Orton will be listed as questionable for the game. | 1 day | |
| 25. | Broncos | Orton missed practice Thursday | (KFFL) Denver Broncos QB Kyle Orton (ankle) did not participate in practice Thursday, Nov. 19. The Broncos have not ruled him out for Week 11 and said he is feeling better. | 1 day | |
| 26. | Heap nursing sore ribs | (FFChamps) Baltimore Ravens tight end Todd Heap missed his second straight day of practice on Thursday because of sore ribs on his left side. He sustained the injury in the first half of their Monday night game against the Browns, but managed to play the entire game. On Thursday, offensive coordinator Cam Cameron told the Carroll County Times that Heap's injury is, "not a concern to my knowledge." Analysis: In other words, Cameron can't comment on player's injuries. Heap may have to sit out this week's game against the Colts or, at a minimum, give way to More) | 1 day | |
| 27. | Coles limited Thursday | (TheHuddle) Joe Reedy, of the Cincinnati Enquirer, reports Bengals WR Laveranues Coles was limited in practice Thursday, Nov. 19, and his status for Week 11 is uncertain. Analysis: Coles is listed as having a head injury, and NFL teams have shown they're taking more precautions with those types of injuries so don't take that "uncertain" status with just a grain of salt. The match-up with a solid Oakland secondary doesn't help Coles' fantasy prospects, either. | 1 day | |
| 28. | Ravens not concerned about Heap | (Rotoworld) Offensive coordinator Cam Cameron does not believe Todd Heap (ribs) is in danger of missing this week's game after sitting out practice Wednesday and Thursday. Analysis: "That's not a concern to my knowledge," Cameron said of Heap missing this week's game. L.J. Smith is preparing to start, but Heap will likely try to return to practice on Friday. | 1 day | |
| 29. | Flacco practices Thursday | (TheHuddle) Updating a previous report, The Baltimore Sun, reports Baltimore Ravens QB Joe Flacco (knee) fully participated in practice Thursday, Nov. 19. He will be able to start Week 11. Analysis: Flacco continues to impress this season and is clearly developing into a future star at the quarterback position for Baltimore. Despite his knee injury, Flacco is a durable competitor worthy of posting some nice stats in what is becoming a well-balanced attack for the Ravens. | 1 day | |
| 30. | Heap misses practice Thursday | (TheHuddle) Updating a previous report, The Baltimore Sun, reports Baltimore Ravens TE Todd Heap (chest) did not participate in practice Thursday, Nov. 19. Offensive coordinator Cam Cameron believes he can play in Week 11. Heap could be a game-time decision for the game. If he is not able to play, TE L.J. Smith will take his place. Analysis: Heap has been inconsistent at times but continues to provide Baltimore with another good red zone target in the passing game . With the Ravens having no problem running the ball this year, Heap has not been called on as often but is always a threat to make the tough catches... (More) | 1 day | |
| 31. | Bengals | Coles limited Thursday | (KFFL) Joe Reedy, of the Cincinnati Enquirer, reports Cincinnati Bengals WR Laveranues Coles (head) was limited in practice Thursday, Nov. 19, and his status for Week 11 is uncertain. | 1 day | |
| 32. | Brett Favre | (RotoWire) Favre (hip/groin) was limited in practice on Thursday, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports. Analysis: It was the second consecutive day he's been limited in practice, but this shouldn't be a worry since he showed no signs of trouble with the injury in Sunday's win over Detroit. | 1 day | |
| 33. | Vikings | Favre limited Thursday | (KFFL) Minnesota Vikings QB Brett Favre (hip. groin) was limited during practice Thursday, Nov. 19. | 1 day | |
| 34. | Vikings | Favre limited Thursday | (KFFL) Minnesota Vikings QB Brett Favre (hip, groin) participated in practice Thursday, Nov. 19. He will be able to play in Week 11. | 1 day | |
| 35. | Ravens | Flacco practices Thursday | (KFFL) Updating a previous report, Jamison Hensley, of The Baltimore Sun, reports Baltimore Ravens QB Joe Flacco (knee) fully participated in practice Thursday, Nov. 19. He will be able to start Week 11. | 1 day | |
| 36. | Ravens | Heap misses practice Thursday | (KFFL) Updating a previous report, Jamison Hensley, of The Baltimore Sun, reports Baltimore Ravens TE Todd Heap (chest) did not participate in practice Thursday, Nov. 19. Offensive coordinator Cam Cameron believes he can play in Week 11. Heap could be a game-time decision for the game. If he is not able to play, TE L.J. Smith will take his place. | 1 day | |
| 37. | Orton misses second straight day of practice | (FFChamps) Broncos quarterback Kyle Orton missed his second consecutive day of practice on Thursday due to the torn ligaments in his left ankle, increasing the liklihood that he will miss Sunday's game against the Chargers. Chris Simms has been taking all the practice snaps with the first team in Orton's absence. Head coach Josh McDaniels tells the Denver Post that no determination will be made about Orton's status for Week 11 until it's necessary. Analysis: The guess here is that the determination has already been made internally that Orton will not ... (More) | 1 day | |
| 38. | Laveranues Coles | (RotoWire) Coles was listed as limited at Thursday's practice with a head injury, the Bengals' official site reports. Analysis: Coles practiced Wednesday, so we'll have to see what details become available reagrding his status leading up to Friday's injury report. | 2 days | |
| 39. | Favre limited again in Thursday's practi... | (Rotoworld) Brett Favre (hip, groin) was limited again in Thursday's practice. Analysis: Favre has been limited in practices for the past couple of weeks, but he's certain to start as a high-end QB1 against the Seahawks this week. | 2 days | |
| 40. | Randy Moss | (RotoWire) Moss, whose absence from practice Wednesday was termed "not injury related," was removed from the Patriots' practice participation/injury report Thursday, ESPN.com reports. Analysis: There's a chance that Moss may show up as "probable" Friday, but we fully expect him to be good to go Sunday against the Jets. | 2 days | |
| 41. | Coles limited Thursday with head injury | (Rotoworld) Laveranues Coles was added to the Bengals injury report Thursday as limited with a head injury. Analysis: Coles is banged up, but he's not expected to miss this week's game at Oakland. While he does have 11 catches in his last two games, Coles is a weak WR3 option on Sunday. | 2 days | |
| 42. | Kyle Orton | (RotoWire) Though coach Josh McDaniels said that Orton (ankle) was feeling better, it was Chris Simms who was the one taking snaps during the portion of practice open to the media on Thursday, the Associated Press reports. Analysis: Orton wants to tough it out this week against the Chargers, but we'll have to see what he is able to do Friday. Chances are, he'll end up with a legitimate "questionable" tag for Week 11's game. | 2 days | |
| 43. | Orton misses practice Thursday | (TheHuddle) The Denver Post reports Denver Broncos QB Kyle Orton (ankle) missed his second straight practice Thursday, Nov. 19, with a severely sprained ankle. He is still hoping to play in Week 11. Analysis: When you see the phrase "severely sprained ankle" associated with anyone, it's never a good sign. The Broncos need this week's game against San Diego desperately, but if Orton tries to gut it out he could be more of a hindrance than a help, plus hurt himself worse. As bad as Chris Simms was against Washington, he'd probably still be a better option than a one-legged Orton. Good luck with all of that, Bro... (More) | 2 days | |
| 44. | Orton making progress, but still uncerta... | (Rotoworld) Though Kyle Orton is making progress with his ankle injury, coach Josh McDaniels said he won't determine his starting quarterback until necessary. Analysis: "We'd love for him to be out there as soon as he can possibly be out there, and very hopeful he's going to play," McDaniels said. This situation is headed toward a game-time decision. Orton missed practice again Thursday while Chris Simms handled most of the first-team reps. Orton will push to play if it's at all possible, but check back Friday afternoon for an update on his status. | 2 days | |
| 45. | Broncos | Orton misses practice Thursday | (KFFL) Mike Klis, of The Denver Post, reports Denver Broncos QB Kyle Orton (ankle) missed his second straight practice Thursday, Nov. 19, with a severely sprained ankle. He is still hoping to play in Week 11. | 2 days | |
| 46. | Todd Heap misses practice again | (Rotoworld) Todd Heap (ribs) missed practice again Thursday. Analysis: Heap watched practice in sweatpants and a baseball cap for the second straight day, but the Ravens have not expressed concern about his availability for this week. He's no better than a TE2 against the Colts if he does play. | 2 days | |
| 47. | Ravens | Flacco practices in full Thursday | (KFFL) Edward Lee, of The Baltimore Sun, reports Baltimore Ravens QB Joe Flacco (knee) practiced in full Thursday, Nov. 19. | 2 days | |
| 48. | Ravens | Heap misses practice Thursday | (KFFL) Edward Lee, of The Baltimore Sun, reports Baltimore Ravens TE Todd Heap (chest) did not participate in the media portion of practice Thursday, Nov. 19. He was present, but wore a baseball hat and sweatpants. | 2 days | |
| 49. | Cowboys | Folk may handle kickoff duties Week 11 | (KFFL) Charean Williams, of the Fort-Worth Star Telegram, reports Dallas Cowboys PK Nick Folk will handle kickoff duties in Week 11 if PK David Buehler (toe) is not able to play. | 2 days | |
| 50. | Stokley splitting time in the slot | (Rotoworld) Broncos beat writer Jeff Legwold says that coach Josh McDaniels doesn't want to use Brandon Stokley on the outside and his slot snaps are getting split. Analysis: Basically, Stokley is a spot player and not worthy of fantasy consideration. Jabar Gaffney takes time away from him in the slot, and Eddie Royal plays there a little too. Stokley has gone without a catch in four of his last six games. | 2 days | |
| 51. | Orton has torn ligaments | (TheHuddle) The Associated Press reports Denver Broncos QB Kyle Orton has torn ligaments in his left ankle. However, he is still hoping to start in Week 11. "I'll come back as fast as I can and try to lead the football team and try to be in the huddle just like everybody else," Orton said. "In this sport, you've got to play when you are dinged up, and the quarterback is no different." Analysis: Chris Simms, who was abysmal in relief of Orton last week, has been taking first-team snaps this week and would be in line to start for the Broncos if Orton can't go. | 2 days | |
| 52. | Kyle Orton | (RotoWire) The Associated Press is reporting that Orton (ankle) has torn ligaments in his ankle, but remains optimistic to play in Sunday's game against San Diego, according to the Colorado Springs Gazette. Analysis: Orton's injury is different than the ankle injury he suffered last season and he says the two are completely unrelated. The ankle has apparently improved over the course of the week, which is why Orton thinks he will be able to go on Sunday. While he certainly is not practicing fully, the team is leaving the door wide open for him to start against the Chargers. | 2 days | |
| 53. | Report: QB Orton has torn ligaments in a... | (Rotoworld) The Associated Press reports that Kyle Orton, who sat out practice on Wednesday, has torn ligaments in his ankle. Analysis: The good news is Orton's injury is to his left ankle; his right was the problematic joint in 2008. Orton, in a contract year, "adamantly" wants to start against San Diego, and the Broncos' coaching staff is surely with him after seeing Chris Simms complete 3-of-13 passes for 13 yards in the second half of last week's loss to the Redskins. Look for Orton to play Sunday, but he won't be close to 100 percent. Reserve him in all leagues. | 2 days | |
| 54. | Broncos | Orton has torn ligaments | (KFFL) The Associated Press reports Denver Broncos QB Kyle Orton (ankle) has torn ligaments in his left ankle. However, he is still hoping to start in Week 11. "I'll come back as fast as I can and try to lead the football team and try to be in the huddle just like everybody else," Orton said. "In this sport, you've got to play when you are dinged up, and the quarterback is no different." | 2 days | |
| 55. | Seahawks cornerbacks have concussions | (FFChamps) Seahawks starting cornerbacks Marcus Trufant and Josh Wilson were held out of practice Wednesday after being diagnosed with concussions. Coach Jim Mora did not comment on either cornerback's status for Sunday's game against the Vikings. "We'll have a couple guys that might be limited (in practice), but nothing serious," Mora told the Seattle Post-Intelligence. Analysis: There's been a lot of concussions going around the league lately and as seen with Brian Westbrook last week, the important thing to be concerned with is coming bac... (More) | 2 days | |
| 56. | Broncos | Orton misses practice Wednesday | (KFFL) Denver Broncos QB Kyle Orton (ankle) missed the team's practice Wednesday, Nov. 18. | 2 days | |
| 57. | Orton sits out with torn ligaments in ankle | (FFChamps) Broncos quarterback Kyle Orton missed practice on Wednesday with what the Associated Press is calling torn ligaments in his left ankle. "If Kyle can practice, he will," Broncos head coach Josh McDaniels told the Colorado Springs Gazette. "If he can’t practice or he’s limited to some degree, Chris [Simms] will take the reps we feel he needs to take just to be ready to go in case we have to play him this week. If Kyle can’t practice, he’ll take most of the reps, just like Kyle would." Analysis: At this point it doesn't look like Orton is going to be able to pl... (More) | 2 days | |
| 58. | Ravens | Flacco practices Wednesday | (KFFL) Baltimore Ravens QB Joe Flacco (knee) fully participated in practice Wednesday, Nov. 18. | 2 days | |
| 59. | Ravens | Heap misses practice Wednesday | (KFFL) Baltimore Ravens TE Todd Heap (chest) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Nov. 18. | 2 days | |
| 60. | Kyle Orton | (RotoWire) Orton (ankle) did not practice during the team's early session on Wednesday, but is optimistic to play on Sunday, the Denver Post reports. Analysis: Orton said he would try to participate in the afternoon activities, but it seems that the team will likely keep him out in order to rest his injured ankle and be as ready as possible for Sunday's game against San Diego. | 2 days | |
| 61. | Brett Favre | (RotoWire) Favre (hip/groin) was limited in practice on Wednesday, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports. Analysis: He showed no signs that this injury was a problem last week despite being listed on the injury report, so we wouldn't be worried this week against Seattle. | 2 days | |
| 62. | Vikings | Favre limited Wednesday | (KFFL) Chip Scoggins, of the Minneapolis Star Tribune, reports Minnesota Vikings QB Brett Favre (hip, groin) was limited during practice Wednesday, Nov. 18. | 2 days | |
| 63. | Brett Favre limited in practice | (Rotoworld) Brett Favre (hip, groin) was limited in Wednesday's practice. Analysis: Favre hasn't missed a game in his career. He'll start versus Seattle. | 2 days | |
| 64. | Todd Heap doesn't practice | (Rotoworld) Todd Heap (ribs) did not participate in Ravens practice Wednesday. Analysis: Heap was dressed for the workout and watched from the sideline. Beat writer Jamison Hensley cautions to "not jump to add LJ Smith to your fantasy team just yet." We'd recommend against doing so even if Heap was on I.R. | 3 days | |
| 65. | Patriots | Moss misses practice Wednesday | (KFFL) Monique Walker, of the Boston Globe, reports New England Patriots WR Randy Moss did not participate in practice Wednesday, Nov. 18, but it was not injury related. | 3 days | |
| 66. | Todd Heap | (RotoWire) Heap (chest) was spotted on the sideline at Wednesday's practice wearing a baseball cap, the Baltimore Sun reports. Analysis: Since he doesn't play for the Orioles, we'll chalk this one up as a "Wednesday/did not practice" for Heap, who is dealing with a chest injury. We'll revisit his status Thursday. | 3 days | |
| 67. | Kyle Orton held out of practice | (Rotoworld) Kyle Orton (ankle) was held out of Broncos practice Wednesday. Analysis: Chris Simms and rookie Tom Brandstater shared first-team reps with Orton sidelined. Most signs still point to Orton starting against San Diego after Simms' awful relief outing in Week 10, even if Orton can't practice all week. | 3 days | |
| 68. | Broncos | Orton misses practice Wednesday | (KFFL) Mike Klis, of The Denver Post, reports Denver Broncos QB Kyle Orton (ankle) did not practice during the media portion of practice Wednesday, Nov. 18. | 3 days | |
| 69. | Flacco regressing? | (Rotoworld) Ravens beat reporter Mike Preston believes that Joe Flacco has "regressed" over the last couple of weeks. Analysis: Preston says Flacco only seems comfortable in the no-huddle offense, which requires fewer quick reads and less thinking on his feet. Flacco has just one touchdown and two interceptions in his last three games, and hasn't thrown for more than 200 yards since Week 6. Consider Flacco only a QB2 over the next three weeks with difficult matchups vs. IND, vs. PIT, and @ GB. | 3 days | |
| 70. | Favre welcome to return in 2010 | (TheHuddle) Judd Zulgad, of the Minneapolis Star Tribune, reports Minnesota Vikings owner and president Mark Wilf said the team received the boost it was looking for when it signed QB Brett Favre. Wilf made it clear Favre would be welcome to return in 2010 to play the second season of his two-year contract. Analysis: So, will he retire? Or will he come back? C'mon, it's not too early to start everybody's favorite offseason game! | 3 days | |
| 71. | Heap a question mark for this week | (Rotoworld) Todd Heap (chest, ribs) is a "question mark" for Sunday's game against the Colts. Analysis: Heap was hurt during the Ravens' win over the Browns on Monday night. If he can't go, L.J. Smith is actually healthy right now and will step in. You shouldn't be waiting on this decision for your fantasy team. | 3 days | |
| 72. | Report: Kyle Orton likely to play despite ankle injury | (FFToolbox) Denver Broncos quarterback Chris Simms completed just three of his 13 passes and threw a pick in relief of Kyle Orton, who left the team's week 10 game in the second quarter due to an ankle injury. After that performance, the Broncos must be breathing a sigh of relief with the news that Orton will likely play this Sunday against the San Diego Chargers, according to the NFL Network. Denver Broncos head coach Josh McDaniels said on Monday that he wouldn't know until later in the week if Orton's sprained left ankle will prevent him from play... (More) | 3 days | |
| 73. | Vikings | Favre welcome to return in 2010 | (KFFL) Judd Zulgad, of the Minneapolis Star Tribune, reports Minnesota Vikings owner and president Mark Wilf said the team received the boost it was looking for when it signed QB Brett Favre. Wilf made it clear Favre would be welcome to return in 2010 to play the second season of his two-year contract. | 3 days | |
| 74. | Vikings want Favre back in 2010 | (Rotoworld) Vikings co-owner/president Mark Wilf said Tuesday that Brett Favre is welcome to return to the team in 2010. Analysis: "He loves football. He's passionate about it and from that standpoint, I think it's infectious," Wilf said. Of Favre's return Wilf stated, "that is the hope." Favre is due a $13 million salary in 2010 after collecting $12 million this year. | 3 days | |
| 75. | Broncos holding out hope for Orton? | (Rotoworld) Kyle Orton (ankle) is scheduled to handle the Broncos' starting quarterback press conference on Wednesday. Analysis: Though coach Josh McDaniels wouldn't commit to Orton playing, this is an indication that the team believes he has a legit shot to start against the Chargers in a key AFC West matchup. | 3 days | |
| 76. | Orton to play in Week 11 | (TheHuddle) NFL Network reports Denver Broncos QB Kyle Orton (ankle) will play in Week 11 despite an injured left ankle. Analysis: Those who own Brandon Marshall can breathe quite a bit easier knowing it'll be Orton under center and not Chris Simms. Marshall will be worth Fantasy consideration this week against the Chargers, but he's not a no-brainer. Marshall had a great game the first time the two teams met in 2008, with 166 yards and a TD, but the other four times he's faced San Diego he's been held in check, with no TDs and an average of about 60 yards per game. | 4 days | |
| 77. | Broncos | Orton to play in Week 11 | (KFFL) Michael Lombardi, of NFL Network, reports Denver Broncos QB Kyle Orton (ankle) will play in Week 11 despite an injured left ankle. | 4 days | |
| 78. | Laveranues Coles | (RotoWire) For the second week in a row, Coles led the Bengals in catches and receiving yards in Sunday's win over the Steelers, hauling in five passes for 67 yards. Analysis: Given the slugfest nature of this game, the relatively low output isn't much of a concern. Many of Coles' receptions were key plays that moved the chains for the Bengals. | 4 days | |
| 79. | Heap has chest injury | (Rotoworld) Todd Heap injured his chest during Monday night's win over the Browns and will undergo tests Tuesday. Analysis: Heap took a big shot over the middle early in the game but may have also injured his chest late in the game. It's a miracle that Heap has been healthy for this long. He's a TE2 with zero upside even if he plays against the Colts next week. | 4 days | |
| 80. | Flacco doesn't have to do much in MNF wi... | (Rotoworld) Joe Flacco completed 13-of-18 pass attempts for 155 yards but no touchdowns in Monday night's win over the Browns. Analysis: Flacco didn't have to do anything in this victory, as anyone could have lined up and played quarterback for the Ravens and earned a win. Flacco and the Ravens face a depleted but tough secondary of the Colts in Week 11 before an AFC North showdown with the Steelers the following week. | 4 days | |
| 81. | Heap leaves game after getting lit up | (Rotoworld) Todd Heap left Monday night's game with an injury. Analysis: Heap was lit up by Browns S Abram Elam on a second-down pass and Heap somehow held on. L.J. Smith stepped in and Heap's return is uncertain. | 4 days | |
| 82. | Orton's status unclear | (FFChamps) Denver Broncos' head coach Josh McDaniels is still not certain of starting quarterback Kyle Orton's status for Week 11. Orton was injured just before halftime in the team's 27-17 loss to the Washington Redskins on Sunday. After throwing for nearly 200 yards and a pair of scores in the first half, Orton sprained an ankle and did not return. His replacement, Chris Simms, finished 3-of-13, for 13 yards, and amassed a quarterback rating of 7.5 for the day. Analysis: Despite the Broncos recent three-game slide, they are still in the thick of the... (More) | 4 days | |
| 83. | McDaniels not committing to Kyle Orton | (Rotoworld) Broncos coach Josh McDaniels wouldn't commit to Kyle Orton (ankle) playing in Week 11 at his Monday presser. Analysis: McDaniels is from the Bill Belichick school, which teaches secrecy when it comes to injuries. We'll believe NFL Network's Mike Lombardi, who reported that Orton will start against San Diego. Orton owners should keep in mind how poorly he played after his 2008 ankle injury. He was the No. 8 overall fantasy quarterback prior to the Week 8 sprain, only to finish as the QB18. | 5 days | |
| 84. | Broncos | Orton's status will be known later in week | (KFFL) The Associated Press reports Denver Broncos head coach Josh McDaniels said the team will not know if QB Kyle Orton (ankle) will be able to play until later in the week. | 5 days | |
| 85. | Kyle Orton | (RotoWire) Orton (left ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against San Diego, the Denver Post reports. "Not sure how that's going to go," coach Josh McDaniels said Monday. "We're going to see how he progresses during the course of the next few days and see if and when Kyle is ready to go. Whether that's Wednesday, Thursday, Friday (or) not at all. He's definitely not out for the game. We're certainly hopeful we can get him ready to go." Analysis: That's about about as cloudy as it gets, but we do know that backup Chris Simms is in line to take first team snaps as long as Orton is sidelined. | 5 days | |
| 86. | Report: Kyle Orton to play against San D... | (Rotoworld) NFL Network's Michael Lombardi reports that Kyle Orton (ankle) will play in Week 11 against San Diego. Analysis: Orton's ankle injury cost him the second half of Sunday's loss to the lowly Redskins, but Denver is going to push him to return because Chris Simms was totally ineffective. While Orton has thrown for 11 touchdowns to just four picks this season and is completing a career-high 63.1% of his passes, he won't be a strong QB1 play against San Diego's No. 11 pass defense. | 5 days | |
| 87. | Brett Favre | (RotoWire) Favre was 20-of-29 for 344 yards with a touchdown in Sunday's win over Detroit. Analysis: Favre had a productive outing , but could have had a better fantasy outing if not for some struggles in the red zone. A hip/groin problem that bothered him last week practice didn't look to be an issue. He has another good matchup this week against Seattle. | 5 days | |
| 88. | Simms expected to begin the week as star... | (Rotoworld) With Kyle Orton sidelined by an ankle injury, Chris Simms is at least expected to begin the practice week as the Broncos starting quarterback. Analysis: Orton is still holding out hope, but it's not a good sign that he was unable to get back in the game Sunday. Just 3-of-13 after taking over for Orton, Simms was unable to generate any signs of life in two quarters against the Redskins. Downgrade the entire Denver offense if Simms starts in the AFC West clash against the Chargers this week. | 5 days | |
| 89. | Patriots | Moss scores twice Week 10 | (KFFL) The Associated Press reports New England Patriots WR Randy Moss caught nine passes for 179 yards with two touchdown receptions Week 10. | 5 days | |
| 90. | Kyle Orton injures ankle | (FFToolbox) Denver Broncos quarterback Kyle Orton sat out the second half of the team's 27-17 loss to the Washington Redskins on Sunday with an injured left ankle and wasn't sure whether he'll be able to play next week against the San Diego Chargers. Orton said: "I was hoping to come back out, and I just wasn't able to." Orton also said after the game it was too soon to say whether he would be able to play against the Chargers. Coming out of halftime, Orton said he tried a few practice throws but then told coach Josh McDaniels he wouldn't be able to play. Backup quarterback More) | 5 days | |
| 91. | Moss racks up 179 yards, two TDs in win | (Rotoworld) Randy Moss caught nine passes for 179 yards and two touchdowns in Week 10 against the Colts. Analysis: Moss dominated the Colts' injury-riddled secondary in every way. He snagged a 55-yard pass on the Patriots' second drive, a 63-yard touchdown early in the second quarter and a six-yard end zone strike in the fourth. He'll try to continue his dominance next week against Darelle Revis and the Jets. | 5 days | |
| 92. | Johnson has strong performance for TN | (TheHuddle) The Associated Press reports Tennessee Titans RB Chris Johnson rushed for 132 yards and two touchdowns on 26 carries and caught nine passes for 100 yards in Week 10. He is the first running back to surpass the 1,000-yard mark this season. Analysis: Johnson has been incredible for Tennessee this season despite the fact that the Titans have had some problems getting wins. One thing is certain Chris Johnson is an elite running back in the NFL and should be starting for all fantasy teams at this point against any opponent. He can score any ti... (More) | 5 days | |
| 93. | Larry Fitzgerald | (RotoWire) Fitzgerald caught seven passes for 73 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's win over Seattle. Analysis: His yardage total is down this season because opponents are paying him a lot of attention; Fitzgerald is on pace for 1,253 receiving yards after exceeding 1,400 in three of the last four years. On the plus side, Fitzgerald is on pace for a career-high 112 receptions and a career-high 14 touchdowns this season. He has been targeted 16 times in the red zone, more than his teammates Anquan Boldin and Steve Breaston combined. | 5 days | |
| 94. | Fitzgerald posts 73 yards, TD in Week 10 | (Rotoworld) Larry Fitzgerald caught seven passes for 73 yards and a touchdown against the Seahawks in Week 10. Analysis: Fitz scored his NFL-leading eighth touchdown of the season on a nice back shoulder fade and a lunging effort to get inside the pylon. Extra defensive attention and Kurt Warner's inability to get the ball deep are killing Fitz's big-play ability this season, but he's still the most consistently productive receiver in the league. | 5 days | |
| 95. | Brandon Stokley | (RotoWire) Stokley had one catch for 15 yards on Sunday against Washington. Analysis: Stokley hasn't done a lot this season to garner much fantasy interest and Sunday's game did little to change that. | 5 days | |
| 96. | Kyle Orton | (RotoWire) Orton (ankle) completed 11-of-18 passes for 193 yards and two touchdowns before going down with an injured ankle on Sunday against the Redskins. Analysis: The severity of the ankle is still unknown, but it is possible that he could miss next week's game against San Diego. A significant hit to the Broncos' offense, as Orton had completed two long touchdown passes to Brandon Marshall before he went down. | 5 days | |
| 97. | Kyle Orton | (RotoWire) Orton said after Sunday's loss to the Redskins that it was too soon to say whether he would be able to play against the Chargers next weekend, the Associated Press reports. Analysis: Chris Simms, who took over for Orton Sunday, waits in the wings in the event that Orton's injury causes him to miss time. | 5 days | |
| 98. | Vikings | Favre sets season high in Week 10 | (KFFL) The Associated Press reports Minnesota Vikings QB Brett Favre went 20-for-29 for a season-high 344 yards and one touchdown in Week 10. | 5 days | |
| 99. | Broncos | Orton throws two TD passes Week 10 | (KFFL) The Associated Press reports Denver Broncos QB Kyle Orton (ankle) was 11-for-18 for 193 yards with two touchdown passes Week 10 against the Washington Redskins. Orton limped to the locker room after suffering an ankle injury and was replaced by QB Chris Simms, who went 3-for-13 for 13 yards and an interception in the game. | 5 days | |
| 100. | LenDale White | (RotoWire) White was able to play Sunday against the Titans but only carried the ball three times for six yards. Analysis: Even with the Bills bad run defense, White was unable and not given much of an opportunity to make the most of it Sunday. With Chris Johnson running the ball the way he has, why would the Titans give it to any one else though? It appears as if White has become the clear back up to Johnson and we can't see any reason to start him on your fantasy team at this point. | 5 days |
