|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1. | Ellis out for Week 11 | (FFChamps) New Orleans Saints' defensive tackle Sedrick Ellis has been downgraded to out for Week 11. He sprained his knee in Week 7 against the Miami Dolphins, and practiced this week for the first time in nearly a month. Analysis: The Saints have gotten brutalized on the ground in Ellis' absence (giving up a combined 431 yards to opponents' lead backs in thethree games he's been hurt). He is their most talented body on the D-line, and definitely their best run-stuffer. The fact that he won't go increases the fantasy value of Cadillac Williams and | 2 hours | |
| 2. | White questionable again | (FFChamps) Atlanta Falcons' wide receiver Roddy White is listed as questionable for the third consecutive week. The Falcons travel to New York to face the Giants in Week 11. Analysis: No worries here, White has been questionable the last three weeks, and looked fine each week. Expect more of the same in New York from Matt Ryan's favorite target on the outside. Assuming the status quo holds, and White is out there on Sunday, we have him as a top-15 play at wide receiver this weekend against a suspect Giants' secondary. | 16 hours | |
| 3. | 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) | 17 hours | |
| 4. | 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. | 23 hours | |
| 5. | Jonathan Stewart | (RotoWire) Stewart (Achilles) ran for 43 yards on 12 carries in Thursday's loss to Miami. Analysis: The Panthers mistakenly went with an aerial-heavy attack, rushing the ball just 25 times with their two backs on Thursday night. Stewart should benefit from the long break before the Panthers return to action against the Jets in Week 12. | 1 day | |
| 6. | Panthers | D. Williams, J. Stewart active for Week 11 | (KFFL) Steve Reed, of CarolinaGrowl.com, reports Carolina Panthers DeAngelo Williams (knee) and RB Jonathan Stewart (Achilles') are active for the team's Week 11 game. | 1 day | |
| 7. | Stewart held to 43 yards in Week 11 loss | (Rotoworld) Jonathan Stewart rushed 12 times for 43 yards against the Dolphins in Week 11. Analysis: Stewart was never able to break a long run, and the Panthers uncharacteristically elected to keep the ball in Jake Delhomme's hands near the goal-line. With little work in the passing game, Stewart remains highly dependent touchdowns for weekly fantasy relevance. He's worth consideration as a flex option against the Jets next week. | 1 day | |
| 8. | Panthers inactives for Week 11 | (FFChamps) The Carolina Panthers have announced the following players as inactive for tonight's game against the Miami Dolphins: RB Mike Goodson, WR Kenneth Moore, S Charles Godfrey, FB Brad Hoover, OG Duke Robinson, DE Charles Johnson, DE Hilee Taylor, and QB A.J. Feeley. Analysis: Breathe easy...DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart, who were both listed as questionable, will play for the Panthers tonight. It's not an easy matchup against the seventh-ranked Dolphins run defense, but include them in your starting lineup if you would normally do so. | 1 day | |
| 9. | Panthers | D. Williams, J. Stewart active for Week 11 | (KFFL) Steve Reed, of CarolinaGrowl.com, reports Carolina Panthers DeAngelo Williams (knee) and RB Jonathan Stewart (Achilles') are active for the team's Week 11 game. | 1 day | |
| 10. | 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 | |
| 11. | Stewart expected to play | (FFChamps) Panthers running back Jonathan Stewart is expected to play in tonight's game against the Dolphins, according to a Tweet this afternoon from ESPN's Adam Schefter. Stewart is listed as questionable on the injury report because of his lingering Achilles' tendon injury; however, he is listed as questionable every week because of the ailment and keeps playing. Moreover, he practiced fully on Wednesday. Analysis: The Dolphins are stout against the run, but Stewart is an every-week threat to at least hit paydirt from short range. If he is typically in your fantasy lineup, don't let his misleading questionabl... (More) | 2 days | |
| 12. | Williams expected to play | (FFChamps) Panthers running back DeAngelo Williams is expected to play in tonight's game against the Dolphins, according to a Tweet this afternoon from ESPN's Adam Schefter. Williams did not practice Wednesday beause of his sore knee and is listed as questionable for the game. Analysis: Williams was a game time decision this past Sunday after being listed as questionable, yet played the entire game. The Dolphins will be a tough matchup, but we suspect Schefter is right and that Williams will suit up. In most cases, unless you are loaded at running back, that means he should be in your fantasy lineup as well. | 2 days | |
| 13. | Schefter confirms that Stewart will play | (Rotoworld) Jonathan Stewart (heel, questionable) is expected to play Thursday night, confirms ESPN's Adam Schefter. Analysis: No news here. Stewart was never in danger of sitting out the game despite the questionable tag. He's a solid flex play. | 2 days | |
| 14. | Matt Ryan | (RotoWire) With the status of both Michael Turner (ankle) and Jerious Norwood (hip) still uncertain for Sunday against the Giants, Ryan may have more attempts than usual if the Falcons' running game struggles. Analysis: You should be starting Ryan anyway, but the team's success on Sunday will lean on Ryan's shoulders more so than any game in the quarterback's career. Jason Snelling, the odds-on starter if Turner and Norwood are unavailable, has shown promise in special running situations, but has had a history of injury himself after being placed on the IR last season. After beginning the season completing nearly 67 percent of his passes with only two interceptions over a ... (More) | 2 days | |
| 15. | Williams questionable for Thursday night | (FFChamps) Carolina Panthers' running back DeAngelo Williams is listed as questionable for Thursday night's game against the Miami Dolphins. Williams was questionable for Week 10, as well, but played a full compliment of snaps and showed no ill effects of his lingering knee injury in a victory over the Atlanta Falcons. Analysis: Williams averaged nearly 5.0 YPC on 17 carries last weekend, despite being a game-time decision. There were no reports of Williams tweaking the knee any further, and the fact that Carolina gave him a significant workload against the Falcons in Week 10 makes us think the knee isn't a huge... (More) | 2 days | |
| 16. | 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. | 2 days | |
| 17. | Panthers | Stewart questionable for Week 11 | (KFFL) Steve Reed, of CarolinaGrowl.com, reports Carolina Panthers RB Jonathan Stewart (Achilles') participated in practice Wednesday, Nov. 18. He is listed as questionable for Week 11 but will be able to play. | 3 days | |
| 18. | Jonathan Stewart | (RotoWire) Stewart (Achilles) practiced on Wednesday, but is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Dolphins, Darin Gantt of the Rock Hill Herald reports. Analysis: He should be ready to go against Miami despite the questionable tag. With DeAngelo Williams (knee) also listed as questionable for the second straight week, you'll want to check the inactives list prior to kickoff just in case anything unexpected happens. | 3 days | |
| 19. | Jonathan Stewart ready to go | (Rotoworld) Jonathan Stewart (heel, questionable) fully returned to Panthers practice Wednesday and is on track to play on Thursday night. Analysis: Stewart busted two touchdown runs, including one of 45 yards, in last week's win over Atlanta. He will be active against the Dolphins' No. 7 run defense. | 3 days | |
| 20. | Fred Jackson | (RotoWire) The Bills plan to continue running the Wildcat offense -- where Jackson is the primary ball handler -- after having some success with it last week, BuffaloBills.com reports. Jackson threw a touchdown pass to Lee Evans in the loss. Analysis: It'll be interesting to see if interim coach Perry Fewell uses Jackson more than Dick Jauron had been, as Marshawn Lynch continues to get a bigger share of the carries. Jackson is one of the league's better No. 2 backs because he's in a timeshare and gets on the field in return situations and Wildcat formations, but his value is still nowhere near what it was when Lynch was on suspension. | 3 days | |
| 21. | Dwayne Bowe suspended four games | (FFToolbox) Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Dwayne Bowe leads the team with 33 catches, including six catches for 91 yards last weekend in a win at Oakland. Unfortunately for him, the Chiefs and his fantasy owners, he won't have a chance to match that performance until week 15. Bowe has been suspended for four games for violating the NFL's policy against performance-enhancing substances. The team announced the suspension Tuesday and said it would have no further comment. Prior to this season, he spent most of training camp in first year head coach Todd Haley's doghouse, even being demoted to third team in what... (More) | 3 days | |
| 22. | Edwards pleads not guilty to assault charge | (TheHuddle) The Associated Press reports New York Jets WR Braylon Edwards has pleaded not guilty to a misdemeanor assault charge after he was accused of punching a man outside a Cleveland nightclub in October. Edwards was arraigned in Cleveland Municipal Court Tuesday, Nov. 17. He waived his right to a speedy trial and was scheduled for a Dec. 12 court hearing. Analysis: At this point, for those still using him on your team, Edwards will continue to play. He'll be in that situation until his hearing at least, when we'll find out what is going to happen for the rest of his season. | 3 days | |
| 23. | Jets | Edwards pleads not guilty to assault charge | (KFFL) The Associated Press reports New York Jets WR Braylon Edwards has pleaded not guilty to a misdemeanor assault charge after he was accused of punching a man outside a Cleveland nightclub in October. Edwards was arraigned in Cleveland Municipal Court Tuesday, Nov. 17. He waived his right to a speedy trial and was scheduled for a Dec. 12 court hearing. | 3 days | |
| 24. | Braylon Edwards | (RotoWire) Edwards pleaded not guilty to a misdemeanor assault charge in Cleveland Municipal Court on Tuesday, the Associated Press reports. Analysis: Edwards is next scheduled to appear at a hearing on December 12. The case likely won't be resolved until after the season, so his chances of being suspended this season appear slim. | 3 days | |
| 25. | Vikings | Rice named NFC Offensive Player of the Week | (KFFL) The Minnesota Vikings announced WR Sidney Rice has been named the NFC Offensive Player of the Week for Week 10. | 3 days | |
| 26. | Edwards pleads not guilty to assault | (Rotoworld) Braylon Edwards pleaded not guilty to a misdemeanor assault charge stemming from an incident outside a Cleveland nightclub last month. Analysis: Edwards, who is accused of punching a friend of LeBron James, is scheduled for a Dec. 12 court hearing. He could face NFL discipline in 2010 if found guilty. | 3 days | |
| 27. | Bowe used diuretics | (TheHuddle) ESPN.com reports Kansas City Chiefs WR Dwayne Bowe's four-game suspension has to do with his use of diuretics, and was trying to lose weight back in training camp, according to a source. Bowe will not be appealing the suspension. Analysis: Well now we know why he was suspended, although it obviously doesn't change anything. Since this one basically came out of the blue, it makes us wonder what other surprises may be lurking that will affect Fantasy rosters as leagues near their playoffs. The earliest Bowe could come back is Week 15. Normally we would recommend that you immediately jettison Bowe from... (More) | 3 days | |
| 28. | Stewart misses practice Tuesday | (TheHuddle) Carolina Panthers RB Jonathan Stewart (Achilles') did not practice Tuesday, Nov. 17. Analysis: This is probably a precautionary measure, as Stewart has had the Achilles' condition and still been able to play the last few weeks. He and DeAngelo Williams, however, have a tough matchup this week against the Miami run defense. Start Stewart if you're lacking RB depth, but temper your expectations. | 3 days | |
| 29. | Chiefs | Bowe used diuretics | (KFFL) ESPN.com reports Kansas City Chiefs WR Dwayne Bowe's four-game suspension has to do with his use of diuretics, and was trying to lose weight back in training camp, according to a source. Bowe will not be appealing the suspension. | 4 days | |
| 30. | Panthers | Stewart misses practice Tuesday | (KFFL) Carolina Panthers RB Jonathan Stewart (Achilles') did not practice Tuesday, Nov. 17. | 4 days | |
| 31. | Bowe suspended four games | (FFChamps) Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Dwayne Bowe has been suspended four games for violating the NFL's policy on performance-enhancing drugs. The announcement was made today via email from the league and the suspension will begin immediately. Analysis: You can stick a fork in the fantasy values of Bowe and Matt Cassel. Bowe will not be cleared to play again until Week 15, by which time most teams will be out of the fantasy playoffs. Give a slight bump up in the values of Chris ChambersMore) | 4 days | |
| 32. | Bowe suspended four games | (TheHuddle) The Kansas City Chiefs announced Tuesday, Nov. 17, that the National Football League has suspended WR Dwayne Bowe for four games for 'violating the NFL policy on performance enhancing substances.' Bowe's suspension will begin immediately. Analysis: There's a surprise. Bowe hasn't exactly been a Fantasy stud, with only 466 yards and four TDs on the season, but he was at least a serviceable option most weeks. Chris Chambers now becomes the No. 1 receiver most likely, with Lance Long serving as the No. 2. | 4 days | |
| 33. | Chiefs | Bowe suspended four games | (KFFL) The Kansas City Chiefs announced Tuesday, Nov. 17, that the National Football League has suspended WR Dwayne Bowe for four games for "violating the NFL policy on performance-enhancing substances." Bowe's suspension will begin immediately. | 4 days | |
| 34. | Dwayne Bowe | (RotoWire) Bowe has been suspended four games for violating the league's performance enhancing drugs policy, Kent Babb of the KC Star reports. Analysis: This is a very tough break for Bowe owners, who will now be without the Chiefs' top wideout until Week 15. Bowe has averaged 8.8 fantasy points per game this season, ranking him 22nd among all NFL receivers. Look for Chris Chambers and Lance Long to see extra targets as the Chiefs' offense looks to get by without Bowe. | 4 days | |
| 35. | Dwayne Bowe suspended 4 games for PEDs | (Rotoworld) NFL suspended Chiefs WR Dwayne Bowe four games for violating the league's policy on performance enhancing substances. Analysis: The suspension begins immediately and will keep Bowe out until Week 15. Bowe reported to spring workouts 30 pounds overweight, and ESPN's Adam Schefter "gathers" that Bowe took a diuretic to shed the extra pounds. He spent much of the early season in coach Todd Haley's doghouse, and the suspension may alter the team's long-term plans for him. With Bowe returning in time for many fantasy playoff games, he's worth keeping on rosters. | 4 days | |
| 36. | Chiefs | Bowe suspended four games | (KFFL) The Kansas City Chiefs announced Tuesday, Nov. 17, that the National Football League has suspended WR Dwayne Bowe for four games for "violating the NFL policy on performance enhancing substances." Bowe's suspension will begin immediately. | 4 days | |
| 37. | Jonathan Stewart misses practice again | (Rotoworld) Jonathan Stewart (heel) missed practice again Tuesday. Analysis: Stewart is often held out of early-week practices, but he's never missed a game in his NFL career. Expect him to return to practice Wednesday and receive his normal 10-15 touches against the Dolphins Thursday night. | 4 days | |
| 38. | Jonathan Stewart | (RotoWire) Stewart (Achilles) was held out of practice on Tuesday, Darin Gantt of the Rock Hill Herald reports. Analysis: Not much surprise here, as the Panthers will likely try to keep him fresh during the short week of preparation for Thursday's game against the Dolphins. | 4 days | |
| 39. | Brandon Jacobs | (RotoWire) Jacobs has averaged 5.1 yards per carry over the last four weeks, the Newark Star-Ledger reports. Analysis: Jacobs' problems from early in the year were due to running the departed Derrick Ward's plays which required more stopping and starting to which Jacobs, given his massive frame, is less suited. But the last four weeks, the Giants have had him run in more of the downhill style he did last year. With Danny Ware now back to handle more third-down duties, Jacobs can focus on power running. | 4 days | |
| 40. | 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 | |
| 41. | Jonathan Stewart | (RotoWire) Stewart (Achilles) did not practice on Monday, the Panthers' official site reports. Analysis: With the quick turnaround because of a Thursday game against the Dolphins in Week 11, it wouldn't be all that surprising to see Stewart limited to just one practice this week. He appeared to be healthy on Sunday with a pair of TD runs in a win over Atlanta, so feel free to use him as you normally would in Week 11 barring a setback. | 4 days | |
| 42. | Jonathan Stewart misses practice | (Rotoworld) Jonathan Stewart (heel) was held out of Panthers practice Monday. Analysis: Dolphins beat writer Omar Kelly has the initial injury report for Thursday. Kelly tweets that, "Carolina might be without one of their workhorses," but we know that missing early-week practice has been routine for Stewart all year. He's coming off an 82-yard, two-TD game and is a safe bet to face Miami. | 4 days | |
| 43. | Panthers | Stewart misses practice Monday | (KFFL) Carolina Panthers RB Jonathan Stewart (Achilles) did not participate in practice Monday, Nov. 16. | 4 days | |
| 44. | Braylon Edwards | (RotoWire) Edwards had three catches for 79 yards in Sunday's loss to the Jaguars. Analysis: Edwards has just two TDs this season, but on the plus side, he figures to get his share of looks going forward as he gains more experience/comfort in the Jets' offense. | 4 days | |
| 45. | Fred Jackson | (RotoWire) Jackson carried eight times for 48 yards in Sunday's loss to Tennessee. He also had 167 yards on kickoff returns. Analysis: In leagues that count those return yards, Jackson is still valuable, but in most leagues the return of Marshawn Lynch has wiped out his early season value. Jackson has had single-digit carries the last three games, and hasn't gained over 52 rushing yards since Week 3, the last week of Lynch's suspension. | 5 days | |
| 46. | Sidney Rice leads NFC in receiving yards | (Rotoworld) Sidney Rice leads the NFC in receiving yards after racking up 201 in the Vikings' Week 10 win over Detroit. Analysis: He's fourth overall behind Randy Moss, Reggie Wayne, and Andre Johnson. Rice's 786 yards have come at a 17.9 YPC clip, which ranks first among players with at least 35 receptions. He's a borderline WR1 going forward. | 5 days | |
| 47. | Jacobs was asked to do too much? | (Rotoworld) Brandon Jacobs was struggling early in the year because he was being asked to run the plays Derrick Ward used to handle, according to running backs coach Jerald Ingram. Analysis: Ingram says the Giants were forced to use Jacobs in passing situations because Danny Ware was hurt. Now that Ware is back, Jacobs won't be asked to run draws or east west. Not sure if we're buying this as an excuse for Jacobs early season struggles, but it's good to hear that he'll be used as strictly a downhill runner in the second half. | 5 days | |
| 48. | 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 | |
| 49. | 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 | |
| 50. | Rice tops 200 yards receiving in Week 10 | (TheHuddle) The Associated Press reports Minnesota Vikings WR Sidney Rice caught seven passes for 201 yards in Week 10. Analysis: Rice is quickly emerging as one of Brett Favre's favorite targets and has posted solid numbers in the Viking offense for the last few weeks. Rice is a nice redzone target and has built a nice rapport with Favre who looks to further his career with another playoff run this season. Fantasy owners should consider Rice a solid No. 2 wideout for the remainder of the year. | 5 days | |
| 51. | Cowboys | Romo throws for 251 yards in Week 10 | (KFFL) The Associated Press reports Dallas Cowboys QB Tony Romo went 24-for-39 for 251 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Week 10. | 5 days | |
| 52. | Tony Romo falls to 13-1 in November | (Rotoworld) Tony Romo completed 24-of-39 passes for 251 yards, one TD, and one interception in Dallas' Week 10 loss. He also scrambled for six yards. Analysis: The Packers brought constant heat, sacking Romo five times and forcing him to fumble twice. The second was recovered by Green Bay at Dallas' four-yard line, leading to a Packers touchdown. Romo falls to 13-1 lifetime in the month of November. He's still showing excellent accuracy and mostly sound decision making, but has a difficult matchup against Washington in Week 11. | 5 days | |
| 53. | Bowe catches six passes in Chiefs' victo... | (Rotoworld) Dwayne Bowe caught six passes for 91 yards in the Chiefs' win over the Raiders. Analysis: Bowe was targeted a team-high ten times by Matt Cassel and also drew a couple of big defensive pass interference calls. He was working mostly on Nnamdi Asomugha and had a solid game. Bowe goes up against a tough Pittsburgh secondary in Week 11. | 5 days | |
| 54. | Derrick Ward | (RotoWire) Ward (knee) carried the ball 10 times for 34 yards in Sunday's 25-23 loss at Miami. Analysis: Ward received four less carries than Cadillac Williams and was not as productive as Williams, who ran for 52 yards and scored a short touchdown. Ward hasn't had the season many envisioned he'd have in Tampa Bay, but part of that can be attributed to the team's overall failures. Rookie quarterback Josh Freeman has looked solid in his first couple of starts, so there might be some hope down the line for the Buccaneers' skill players. | 5 days | |
| 55. | Eddie Royal | (RotoWire) Royal had two catches for 21 yards on Sunday against Washington. Analysis: Another disappointing performance from Royal, who hasn't found the end zone this season after scoring five last year during his rookie campaign. | 5 days | |
| 56. | Tony Scheffler | (RotoWire) Scheffler had four catches for 29 yards on Sunday against Washington. Analysis: Scheffler has only had one solid fantasy game this season and continues to be a questionable start from the tight end position. | 5 days | |
| 57. | Jonathan Stewart | (RotoWire) Stewart (Achilles) scored a pair of touchdowns in Sunday's 28-19 win over Atlanta. Stewart finished with 82 yards on 11 carries. Analysis: Stewart scored on a short run in the first half and added a 45-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter. DeAngelo Williams (knee), who was a game-time decision, was able to play and received 19 carries, but did not score. Stewart is obviously a talented runner, although he's never going to put up monster numbers with Williams around. | 5 days | |
| 58. | Matt Ryan | (RotoWire) Ryan passed 22-of-41 for 224 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions as the Falcons fell to the Panthers 28-19. Analysis: Ryan has shown inconsistency after a strong start to the season, and now has thrown an interception in each of his last six games. He has now thrown 12 interceptions, which already eclipses the 11 he threw in his rookie season. It became quite obvious that the pressure from the Panthers was beginning to get under Ryan's skin as he continuous overthrew his receivers for the crux of the afternoon. However, Ryan is still a must-start in all leagues with Roddy White and Tony Gonzalez being the explosive targets they are. | 5 days | |
| 59. | Cowboys RT, Columbo breaks leg | (FFChamps) Cowboys starting right tackle Marc Colombo broke his left leg in their game against the Packers on Sunday. Colombo, a longtime pillar of the Cowboys offensive line since 2006, got injured in the first quarter when he was blocking for Marion Barber when Packers defensive end Johnny Jolly rolled up the back of Colombo's leg. Soon after Colombo was taken away for X-rays, the team announced the break in the left fibula during the second quarter. Analysis: The Cowboys have had a difficult time getting their running game going in recent games and losing Colombo will not help in this matter. Look for less pr... (More) | 5 days | |
| 60. | Vikings | Rice tops 200 yards receiving in Week 10 | (KFFL) The Associated Press reports Minnesota Vikings WR Sidney Rice caught seven passes for 201 yards in Week 10. | 5 days | |
| 61. | Matt Ryan throws two picks in Week 10 lo... | (Rotoworld) Matt Ryan completed 22-of-41 passes for 224 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions against the Panthers in Week 10. Analysis: He's officially in a funk. Ryan played better in the second half after sporting "happy feet" throughout the first half, but his second interception with four minutes left sealed his team's fate. He already has thrown more picks in nine games this year than he did all of last season. Now a weekly fantasy liability, he'll look to bounce back against the Giants next week. | 5 days | |
| 62. | Stewart, Smith pitch in 2 TDs apiece in ... | (Rotoworld) Jonathan Stewart rushed 11 times for 82 yards and two touchdowns to lead the Panthers over the Falcons in Week 10, 28-19. Analysis: Steve Smith also scored two touchdowns as the Panthers moved the ball in the air as well as the ground. Stewart went untouched on a 45-yard scamper to ice the game late in the fourth quarter. He had three carries inside the 5-yard line and converted one for the second score. Stewart is a risky flex play next week against the Dolphins. | 5 days | |
| 63. | Panthers | Stewart scores two TDs Week 10 | (KFFL) The Associated Press reports Carolina Panthers RB Jonathan Stewart rushed for 82 yards and two touchdowns on 11 carries in Week 10. | 5 days | |
| 64. | Fred Jackson a triple threat in loss | (Rotoworld) Fred Jackson rushed eight times for 48 yards, caught three passes for 23 yards, and threw a 27-yard touchdown pass to Lee Evans. Analysis: Operating out of the Wildcat, Jackson hit Evans in stride with a perfect strike for the first score of the game. Though he's been a far more effective player than Marshawn Lynch this season, his touches have been too inconsistent for serious fantasy consideration. | 5 days | |
| 65. | Rob Bironas | (RotoWire) Bironas attempted three field goals and hit two of them, the longest from 51 yards. He was also a perfect 5-of-5 in extra points Sunday in a win against the Bills. Analysis: Bironas has been kicking well all year. Sunday he missed his first field goal since two that he missed in week one. | 5 days | |
| 66. | Falcons | Ryan throws two INTs Week 10 | (KFFL) The Associated Press reports Atlanta Falcons QB Matt Ryan went 22-for-41 for 221 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions in Week 10. He has thrown 12 interceptions this season after throwing only 11 the entire 2008 season. | 5 days | |
| 67. | Panthers LT Gross breaks ankle | (FFChamps) Panthers left tackle Jordan Gross broke his right ankle in their 28-19 win over Atlanta on Sunday. The injury occurred in the second quarter when a Falcons player fell into Gross' leg, which bent it awkwardly. Coach John Fox told The Associated Press after the game that doctors told him Gross’ ankle was broken, leaving Carolina without their best offensive lineman indefinitely. Analysis: Travelle Wharton replaced Gross at left tackle and Mackenzy Bernadeau replaced Wharton at left guard for the remainder of the game, but there's no easy way to replace a left tackle who has started every game since 2003. | 5 days | |
| 68. | Derrick Ward gets 10 carries in loss | (Rotoworld) Derrick Ward rushed 10 times for just 34 yards in the Bucs' Week 10 loss. Analysis: He didn't catch a pass, which was a disappointment after Ward racked up 3-54-1 through the air in Week 9 against Green Bay. Predictably, the Bucs' ground game struggled against Miami's tough rush defense on Sunday. Ward and Cadillac Williams continue to all but cancel each other out in terms of fantasy relevance. Consider them only flex options in Week 11 against New Orleans. | 5 days | |
| 69. | Orton hurts ankle | (FFChamps) Broncos quarterback Kyle Orton did not play the second half of their game against the Redskins and was seen on the sidelines with his left ankle heavily taped. He was tackled on a third-down quarterback scramble before the first half ended and limped off the field. Chris Simms replaced Orton and completed three of 13 passes for thirteen yards and one interception. Analysis: Say it together with us, Orton and Brandon Marshall owners, ARGH! Orton was having a great day before he go... (More) | 5 days | |
| 70. | Breakout continues as Rice goes for 201 ... | (Rotoworld) Sidney Rice caught seven passes for 201 yards in Sunday's win over the Lions. Analysis: Rice has at least 136 receiving yards in three of his last four games as he is clearly established as Brett Favre's favorite target. He's a beast when he gets a corner one-on-one on a vertical pattern and Favre knows it. Rice is an excellent WR2 with upside heading into next week's game against the Seahawks. | 5 days | |
| 71. | Royal has two catches for 21 yards | (Rotoworld) Eddie Royal had two catches for 21 yards in Week 10. Analysis: He also averaged 23 yards on three kick returns and gained zero on his lone caught punt. This effort came on the heels of what appeared to be a promising 74-yard effort in Week 9. Royal is too inconsistent for fantasy use. | 6 days | |
| 72. | Scheffler catches four balls | (Rotoworld) Tony Scheffler caught four passes for 29 yards in Week 10. Analysis: The Redskins continue to hold tight ends in check. Scheffler hasn't topped 30 yards in his last three games, but a Week 11 matchup against a San Diego team that he routinely dominates will make him worth low-end TE1 consideration. Scheffler had 101 yards and a touchdown in their last meeting. | 6 days | |
| 73. | Edwards has uneven performance in loss | (Rotoworld) Braylon Edwards caught three passes for 79 yards in Week 10 against the Jaguars. Analysis: Edwards was shut out in the first half and then fumbled at the end of a terrific 41-yard gain on his first catch of the second half. He later misfired on a pass attempt to Jerricho Cotchery, narrowly avoiding an interception, and dropped a two-point conversion that would have put the Jets up three late. | 6 days | |
| 74. | Chiefs inactives for Week 10 | (FFChamps) The Kansas City Chiefs have announced the following players as inactive for today's game against the Oakland Raiders: WR Bobby Wade, QB Matt Guitierrez, CB Donald Washington, TE Jake O'Connell, TE Sean Ryan, SAF DaJuan Morgan and LB David Herron. Analysis: The Chief's best receiving tight end, Sean Ryan is inactive for Sunday's game. Wade is still inactive so receivers Chris Chambers and More) | 6 days | |
| 75. | Derrick Ward | (RotoWire) Ward (knee) is active for Sunday's game in Miami. Analysis: Even with Ward available, look for Cadillac Williams to see the majority of the work in the Bucs' backfield. | 6 days | |
| 76. | Panthers inactives for Week 10 | (FFChamps) The Carolina Panthers have announced the following players as inactive for today's game against the Atlanta Falcons: RB Mike Goodson, S Charles Godfrey, FB Brad Hoover, OT Garry Williams, OG Duke Robinson, DE Hilee Taylor, DT Nick Hayden, and QB A.J. Feeley. Analysis: The big news for Carolina is that DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart will both see action this weekend in a big NFC South showdown with Atlanta. Williams was questionable all week with a knee injury, but he can be inserted into fantasy lineups with confidence. Despite stru... (More) | 6 days | |
| 77. | Buccaneers inactives for Week 10 | (FFChamps) The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have announced the following players as inactive for today's game against the Miami Dolphins: QB Byron Leftwich, WR Yamon Figurs, CB Mike Mickens, FB Chris Pressley, OG Shawn Murphy, OL James Lee, WR Antonio Bryant and DE Greg White. Analysis: Derrick Ward is active, and will presumably share carries with Carnell Cadillac Williams today. Both are shaky fantasy plays against a tough Phins' run defense, however. More) | 6 days | |
| 78. | Derrick Ward is active against the Dolph... | (Rotoworld) Derrick Ward is active for Sunday's tilt with the Dolphins. Analysis: The Bucs' inactives are third QB Byron Leftwich, WR Yamon Figurs, CB Mike Mickens, FB Chris Pressley, OG Shawn Murphy, OL James Lee, WR Antonio Bryant and DE Greg White. Ward's activity crushes Cadillac Williams' Week 10 value against a Dolphins defense that gets back ILB Channing Crowder and NT Jason Ferguson, and already ranked in the top five against the run. | 6 days | |
| 79. | Steelers inactives for Week 10 | (FFChamps) The Pittsburgh Steelers have announced the following players as inactive for today's game against the Cincinnati Bengals: DE Travis Kirschke, DT RaShon Harris, T Tony Hills, WR Shaun McDonald, RB Carey Davis, G Kraig Urbik, CB Keiwan Ratliff, and QB Dennis Dixon. Analysis: The Steelers defense gets Ryan Clark and Lawrence Timmons back into the starting lineup. Tyrone Carter and Trai Essex who both missed practice due to illness earlier in the week are active and will play against... (More) | 6 days | |
| 80. | Falcons inactives for Week 10 | (FFChamps) The Atlanta Falcons have announced the following players as inactive for today's game against the Carolina Panthers: T Sam Baker, WR Brian Finneran, RB Jerious Norwood, QB John Parker Wilson, S Charlie Peprah, LB Spencer Adkins, OT Garrett Reynolds, and DL Trey Lewis. Analysis: Roddy White will play today, but he has a tough matchup against the Panthers' underrated pass defense. Sam Baker will be replaced in the starting lineup by Will Svitek, who will be in charge of Matt Ryan's... (More) | 6 days | |
| 81. | Report: Jonathan Stewart to see more car... | (Rotoworld) Jonathan Stewart is expected to see increased carries even if DeAngelo Williams (knee) plays Sunday against Atlanta. Analysis: The report comes from FOXSports' John Czarnecki, who is wishy washy when it comes to accuracy, but the idea makes sense even if it's just speculation. Stewart is a stronger flex play than usual. We'll know whether Williams will be active in roughly 45 minutes. We're expecting him to play. | 6 days | |
| 82. | Bills right tackle, Scott is out again | (FFChamps) The Buffalo Bills announced on Saturday that right tackle Jonathan Scott was probable for Sunday's game, but instead he will be out for personal reasons. This will be his fourth straight missed game; the first three were due to a sprained ankle. Jamon Meredith would normally get the start in Scott's absence but he is battling with a sprained right knee. The Bills are running out of options at offensive line, and may look to veteran backup Kirk Chambers if Meredith can't go. Analysis: The Bills offensive line has been mired in injuries all season long, and just when it looks like they might get one player back, bad luck strikes again. They are currently tied for ...
