| 1. | Cardinals | Warner sets franchise record | (KFFL) Kent Somers, of The Arizona Republic, reports Arizona Cardinals QB Kurt Warner's two touchdown passes Week 11 gave him 20 for the season. Warner is the first Cardinals quarterback to throw for at least 20 touchdowns in three consecutive seasons. | 2 hours | |
| 2. | Cardinals | Warner suffers apparent concussion Week 11 | (KFFL) Updating a previous item, Kent Somers, of The Arizona Republic, reports Arizona Cardinals QB Kurt Warner (concussion) suffered an apparent concussion Week 11. He will be evaluated during the week to determine his status for Week 12. Warner will undergo neurological tests this week. Warner said, "We were smart with it; we didn't take any chances. I feel good. I think I'm going be just fine, but we'll take it day by day." | 2 hours | |
| 3. | Bears | Forte held to 34 yards rushing Week 11 | (KFFL) The Associated Press reports Chicago Bears RB Matt Forte had 14 carries for 34 yards Week 11. He also caught four passes for 20 receiving yards. | 2 hours | |
| 4. | Eagles | D. Jackson scores Week 11 | (KFFL) The Associated Press reports Philadelphia Eagles WR DeSean Jackson caught eight passes for 107 yards with a touchdown Week 11. Jackson also had a 10-yard carry in the game. | 2 hours | |
| 5. | Jackson racks up 107 yards in Week 11 | (Rotoworld) DeSean Jackson caught eight passes for 107 yards and a touchdown and ran once for 10 yards in the Eagles' Week 11 win over the Bears. Analysis: Jackson broke free down the middle, past two Bears defenders, for a 48-yard touchdown in the third quarter. He did lose a fumble, but once again showed top-notch speed and remains a quality WR2 play in any league. The Bears face a 21st-ranked Vikings secondary in Week 12. | 3 hours | |
| 6. | Forte held to 34 rushing yards in SNF lo... | (Rotoworld) Matt Forte was held to 34 yards on 14 carries and 20 yards on four catches in Week 11 against the Eagles. Analysis: Forte once again had trouble getting out of the backfield. His longest run went for just eight yards and he was overshadowed by Kahlil Bell, who scampered for 72 yards in the first quarter on his first professional carry. Forte has been held under 45 yards rushing the past four weeks. | 3 hours | |
| 7. | Redskins | Portis out for Week 12 | (KFFL) Jason Reid, of The Washington Post, reports Washington Redskins head coach Jim Zorn said RB Clinton Portis (concussion) is out for the team's Week 12 game, according to The Washington Post's Rick Maese. Portis is not yet a candidate for Injured Reserve. | 3 hours | |
| 8. | Rinehart has broken fibula | (FFChamps) According to the Washington Post, Washington Redskins' guard Chad Rinehart broke his fibula in the team's 7-6 loss to the Cowboys. Analysis: The Redskins' offensive line is awful. It just got even worse. Edwin Williams will likely be forced into the starting lineup with the loss of Rinehart, and Redskin fans and fantasy owners can probably look forward to more single-digit scoring outputs like today's masterpiece. | 5 hours | |
| 9. | Betts may have torn MCL | (FFChamps) According to the Washington D.C. radio station, 106.7 "The Fan," Redskins' running back Ladell Betts tore "at least his MCL, likely an ACL" in today's 7-6 loss to the rival Dallas Cowboys. Betts injured the knee on a tackle by Dallas linebacker Bradie James, and eventually had to be carted off the field with his leg in an aircast. Analysis: After the hit by James, Betts initially walked off the field (with some assistance), but was seen being carted towards the locker room shortly thereafter. This report is obviously not official, but Redskins' fans and Betts' fantasy owners can't like what they're ... (More) | 6 hours | |
| 10. | Breaston catch-less in Week 11 | (Rotoworld) Steve Breaston was held without a catch by the Rams in Week 11. Analysis: Breaston didn't even see a target. Larry Fitzgerald (87 yards, one TD) and Anquan Boldin (103 yards, TD) dominated all over the field. Breaston probably would've at least had some production if Kurt Warner hadn't missed the entire second half with a "mild" concussion. He should rebound in Week 12. | 6 hours | |
| 11. | Brandon Marshall | (RotoWire) Marshall (neck) had three catches for 26 yards on Sunday against San Diego. Analysis: The injury to Kyle Orton has had an obvious effect on Marshall, who was just starting to get going over the past couple of weeks. If Orton can get healthy again, expect Marshall to put up the bigger numbers again. | 6 hours | |
| 12. | Cardinals | Breaston untargeted Week 11 | (KFFL) CBSSports.com reports Arizona Cardinals WR Steve Breaston wasn't targeted on a single pass Week 11. Breaston wasn't injured in the game and played his normal allotment. | 6 hours | |
| 13. | Warner injured Week 11 | (TheHuddle) NFL.com reports Arizona Cardinals QB Kurt Warner (head) left the team's Week 11 game after suffering a blow to the head. Warner completed 15 of 19 passes for 203 yards and 2 touchdowns in the game. Analysis: Warner did not return to the game after leaving and gave way to backup Matt Leinart who completed 10 of 14 passes for 74 yards in relief. It is currently unclear as to the severity of the injury to Warner so fantasy owners need to keep an eye on this situation. Warner will be evaluated further on Monday to determine if he will miss any time with this injury. | 6 hours | |
| 14. | Steven Jackson | (RotoWire) Jackson carried the ball 24 times for 116 yards and one touchdown during the Rams' loss to Arizona in Week 11. Analysis: The yards and TD were nice but Jackson's two receptions for zero yards were a bit disappointing. It appeared that Arizona was focused on taking away one aspect of Jackson's game and they did that, jumping all over the screen plays and swing passes the club has been regularly running throughout the year. Expect offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur to make the necessary changes next week to get Jackson back into the passing game. | 7 hours | |
| 15. | Rams | Jackson productive Week 11 | (KFFL) The Associated Press reports St. Louis Rams RB Steven Jackson rushed for 116 yards and one touchdown on 24 carries in Week 11. It was his fourth consecutive 100-yards game. Jackson became the first player in Rams history to post five straight 1,000-yard seasons. | 7 hours | |
| 16. | Brandon Marshall held to 26 yards in Wee... | (Rotoworld) Brandon Marshall was held to 26 yards on three receptions against the Chargers in Week 11. Analysis: Marshall was targeted a team-high nine times -- including three in the red zone -- but poor quarterback play kept his numbers low. He'll likely draw the Giants' Corey Webster in coverage this Thursday, but his potential for a big game makes him a tough sit in fantasy leagues. | 7 hours | |
| 17. | Cardinals | Hightower rushes for 110 yards Week 11 | (KFFL) The Associated Press reports Arizona Cardinals RB Tim Hightower rushed 110 yards on 14 carries in Week 11. He was his first 100-yard game of the season. | 7 hours | |
| 18. | Cardinals | Warner plays well before injury Week 11 | (KFFL) The Associated Press reports Arizona Cardinals QB Kurt Warner (head) went 15-for-19 for 203 yards and two touchdowns before leaving Week 11 because of a head injury. | 7 hours | |
| 19. | Warner leaves with head injury | (FFChamps) Arizona Cardinals' quarterback Kurt Warner left today's game against the St. Louis Rams after taking a blow to the head in the second quarter. Before exiting, Warner completed 15-of-19 passes, for 203 yards and two scores. He did not return in the second half, and Matt Leinart finished 10-of-14 for 74 yards in mop-up duty in a 21-13 Cardinals victory. Analysis: The extent of Warner's injury is unknown at this point, but at the ripe ol' age of 38, Kurt's fantasy owners have to be holding their breath a little bit today. If you are a Warner o... (More) | 7 hours | |
| 20. | Steve Breaston | (RotoWire) Breaston (right knee) was not targeted as a receiver on Sunday. He returned two punts for a total of 19 yards. Analysis: This is very strange since Breaston came into the game averaging nearly eight targets per contest. The Cardinals completed 25-of-33 passes for 277 yards on Sunday, so there were a lot of balls to go around, at least in theory. Maybe Breaston's knee acted up, however, he still played as a punt returner and he was believed to be almost 100 percent heading into the game. At this point, Breaston's quiet Week 11 performance is a mystery. | 7 hours | |
| 21. | Hightower has 16 touches in win | (Rotoworld) Tim Hightower ran for 110 yards on 14 carries and caught two passes for 15 yards in the Cardinals' Week 11 win. Analysis: Hightower continued to start and rotate evenly with Beanie Wells. He also busted a 50-yard run in the first half -- the longest by an Arizona runner since 2004. Hightower's role does not appear to be in decline after a productive performance. He is a fine flex option in PPR leagues next week at Tennessee. | 7 hours | |
| 22. | Kurt Warner replaced by Leinart after tw... | (Rotoworld) Kurt Warner completed 15-of-19 passes for 203 yards and two touchdowns before taking a "blow to the head" that knocked him out for the rest of Sunday's win over St. Louis. Analysis: Warner was replaced by Matt Leinart with :47 left in the second quarter and did not return. He remained in uniform on the sideline for the final two frames, however, and did not appear to be woozy or dazed. The game was tight, but the Cards erred on the side of caution with their 38-year-old quarterback. Still, Warner is no sure thing to play at Tennessee in Week 12. | 7 hours | |
| 23. | Tim Hightower | (RotoWire) Hightower rushed 14 times for a career-high 110 yards in Sunday's win over the Rams. He added two receptions for 15 yards. Analysis: He must like the Edward Jones Dome -- his previous career-high was a 109-yard performance there last season. While there is a lot to like about Hightower's Week 11 outing, the presence of his backfield mate Chris Wells is a growing concern. Wells scored another touchdown on Sunday (his third in Arizona's last two games) and he succeeded in a goal-to-go situation whereas Hightower did not. Hightower and Wells are splitting carries almost exactly down the middle and Hightower might be losing his previously strong grip on the Cardinal... (More) | 7 hours | |
| 24. | Steven Jackson has another big day | (Rotoworld) Steven Jackson ran for 116 yards and a touchdown on 24 carries and caught two passes for a net gain of zero in the Rams' Week 11 loss. Analysis: Jackson's monster season is highly impressive considering the ineptness of his teammates. He is also averaging a crisp 25.0 touches and 103.1 total yards per game, which obviously boosts his production ceiling. S-Jax will be a top-five fantasy play against the Seahawks in Week 12. | 7 hours | |
| 25. | Kurt Warner | (RotoWire) Warner, who did not return to Sunday's game after suffering a head injury during the second quarter, finished the day with 15 completions in 19 attempts for 203 yards and two touchdowns. He committed one turnover (a fumble). Analysis: Obviously, his injury overshadows his strong statistical performance. Warner's Week 12 status is unknown at this time. He has thrown for two or more touchdowns in six of his last seven games. | 7 hours | |
| 26. | Hines Ward | (RotoWire) Ward hauled in 10 catches for 128 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's loss to Kansas City. Analysis: Ward gets back into the passing attack in a huge way as he had just 12 receptions and 71 yards receiving over the last three games combined. He is certainly not showing his age as the 33-year old leads the team in catches (63), yards (798) and is tied for the lead in touchdowns (5). | 8 hours | |
| 27. | Clinton Portis | (RotoWire) Coach Jim Zorn said that Portis (concussion) will be out next week, although he's not yet considered an IR candidate, the Washington Post reports. Analysis: Ladell Betts has a torn MCL and will miss time as well, so Rock Cartwright will be a hot pickup this week. With Portis more week-to-week than day-to-day at this point -- considering that he is already ruled out for Week 12 -- the Redskins will add some running back depth in the coming days. | 8 hours | |
| 28. | Cardinals | Warner injured Week 11 | (KFFL) NFL.com reports Arizona Cardinals QB Kurt Warner (head) left the team's Week 11 game after suffering a blow to the head. His return is questionable. | 8 hours | |
| 29. | Clinton Portis already ruled out for Wee... | (Rotoworld) The Redskins have already ruled out Clinton Portis (concussion) for Week 12, coach Jim Zorn revealed Sunday. Analysis: Offensive coordinator Sherman Smith added that the team will scour their free agent list and pick up a back to be active behind Rock Cartwright and Quinton Ganther. Ladell Betts (torn MCL) is probably done for the season. Ex-Skins Marcus Mason and Anthony Alridge are available. As is Warrick Dunn. | 8 hours | |
| 30. | Steelers | Ward catches 10 passes Week 11 | (KFFL) The Associated Press reports Pittsburgh Steelers WR Hines Ward caught 10 passes for 128 yards with a touchdown reception Week 11. | 8 hours | |
| 31. | Kurt Warner | (RotoWire) Warner left before halftime with an apparent head injury, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports. Analysis: His return is questionable at this time. Warner stayed in the game briefly after taking the hit that appeared to cause the injury. Matt Leinart took over at quarterback for the Cards. | 9 hours | |
| 32. | Hines Ward catches 10 passes in Week 11 | (Rotoworld) Hines Ward caught 10 passes for 128 yards and a touchdown against the Chiefs in Week 11. Analysis: Ward was targeted 14 times as Big Ben's go-to receiver. He took advantage of Roethlisberger's escapability, finding an opening in the end zone for an 8-yard score in the second quarter. He's on pace for 101 receptions and 1,277 yards in his age-33 season. Consider him a WR2 at Baltimore next week. | 9 hours | |
| 33. | Leinart replaces Warner in the second qu... | (Rotoworld) Kurt Warner went to the locker room early before halftime of Sunday's game, and was replaced by Matt Leinart. Analysis: The Cardinals say Warner's injury is to his "head," but he appeared to ding his shoulder while being driven into the turf on a late second-quarter play. Warner walked off with a disgruntled look on his face, but appeared healthy. He may have been concussed or suffered a stinger. Warner's return is questionable. Leinart entered with :47 left in the half. | 9 hours | |
| 34. | Choice a non-factor in win | (Rotoworld) Tashard Choice rushed just one time for one yard in Sunday's win over the Redskins. Analysis: The owner and the head coach said they wanted to see more of Felix Jones all week, so Choice had no shot at a role. Consider Choice nothing more than a handcuff in deep leagues. | 9 hours | |
| 35. | Marion Barber gets plenty of work | (Rotoworld) Marion Barber rushed 20 times for 99 yards and caught one pass for eight yards in Sunday's win over the Redskins. Analysis: The Cowboys came out with a run-heavy attack as Albert Haynesworth (ankle) was sidelined. It worked well until a Barber fumble in the red zone cost the Cowboys a chance to take control of the game early. The Cowboys would be wise to stick with the run for the whole game against the Raiders on Thursday. Barber is a RB2. | 9 hours | |
| 36. | Derrick Ward goes for 40 total yards | (Rotoworld) Derrick Ward had seven carries for 26 yards and caught three balls for 14 in the Bucs' Week 11 loss. Analysis: The Bucs have begun using fullback Earnest Graham as a ball carrier again, which will crush any fantasy upside that Ward and starter Cadillac Williams already didn't have. Ward will get around ten touches a game moving forward. He needs a Caddy injury to matter in fantasy leagues. | 10 hours | |
| 37. | Colston has 74 yards in Week 11 | (Rotoworld) Marques Colston caught five balls for 74 yards in Week 11. Analysis: The Bucs made it a point to prevent Colston from beating them, but he was still a difference maker when he got free. Colston ate up Tampa's safeties on the Saints' last drive of the second half, racking up receptions of 16, 20, and 21 yards to set up a Robert Meachem touchdown. Colston likely will square off mostly with Patriots right corner Leigh Bodden in Week 12. | 10 hours | |
| 38. | Redskins inactives for Week 11 | (FFChamps) The Washington Redskins have declared the following players as inactive for today's game against the Dallas Cowboys: RB Clinton Portis, CB Kevin Barnes, C Edwin Williams, TE Chris Cooley, LB Robert Henson, OT Mike Williams, DT Albert Haynesworth, and DE Renaldo Wynn. Analysis: Ladell Betts will start again in Portis' absence. Hayneworth is the plug in the middle of the Skins' defense, and his loss will open running lan... (More) | 15 hours | |
| 39. | Portis among Redskins inactives | (Rotoworld) Redskins declared RB Clinton Portis, CB Kevin Barnes, C Edwin Williams, TE Chris Cooley, LB Robert Henson, OT Mike Williams, DT Albert Haynesworth and DE Renaldo Wynn inactive for Sunday's game against the Cowboys. Analysis: Portis is still a long shot to play in Week 12 and will share carries with Ladell Betts if/when he returns. Haynesworth's (ankle) loss is a big blow to the 'Skins run defense. | 15 hours | |
| 40. | Kyle Orton not expected to go Sunday | (FFToolbox) According to the Denver Post, barring an overnight medical miracle that heals Denver Broncos quarterback Kyle Orton's bum ankle, Chris Simms will be the team's starting QB Sunday against the San Diego Chargers with sole possession of the AFC West lead at stake. While Simms has taken the first-team snaps all week, Orton has been unable to practice due to a sprained ankle, which he suffered last week against Washington. Orton has tried hard to get his ankle to heal. But as of Saturday afternoon, it had not recovered enough to play. Orton do... (More) | 1 day | |
| 41. | 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 | 1 day | |
| 42. | Portis visits with concussion specialists | (TheHuddle) ESPN.com reports Washington Redskins RB Clinton Portis (concussion) was at the University of Pittsburgh Friday, Nov. 20, to have his concussion evaluated by the same doctors who examined Philadelphia Eagles RB Brian Westbrook (concussion). Portis revealed the following on his status via Twitter: 'Hey fans! Trying to get healthy to finish the season strong, want to make sure there aren't lingering affects before returning to the field.' Analysis: With the NFL's increasing concerns about head injuries and the recent setback for Westbrook, odds are that Portis is at least a week or two from being clea... (More) | 1 day | |
| 43. | Redskins | Portis visits with concussion specialists | (KFFL) Updating a previous item, ESPN.com reports Washington Redskins RB Clinton Portis (concussion) was at the University of Pittsburgh Friday, Nov. 20, to have his concussion evaluated by the same doctors who examined Philadelphia Eagles RB Brian Westbrook (concussion). Portis revealed the following on his status via Twitter: "Hey fans! Trying to get healthy to finish the season strong, want to make sure there aren't lingering affects before returning to the field." | 1 day | |
| 44. | 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. | 2 days | |
| 45. | Haynesworth very questionable | (FFChamps) According to ESPN's John Clayton, Washington Redskins' defensive lineman Albert Hayneworth (ankle) is "very questionable" for this Sunday's game against the Dallas Cowboys. Clayton speculates that the Redskins' biggest offseason acquisition could very well see "little or no work" even if he is active on gameday. Analysis: This is obviously a huge blow to the Skins' run defense. Even if Haynesworth plays, it sounds like he will not be close to 100 percent. Kedric Golston is his backup on the D-line. The Cowboys' running game has been sporadic this season, with all three backs (More) | 2 days | |
| 46. | Cowboys | Barber practices Friday, will play Week 11 | (KFFL) Dallas Cowboys RB Marion Barber III (thumb) practiced Friday, Nov. 20. He is listed as probable for Week 11 and will play. | 2 days | |
| 47. | 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) | 2 days | |
| 48. | Brandon Marshall practices again in full | (Rotoworld) Brandon Marshall (neck, probable) practiced in full again Friday. Analysis: Marshall won't miss Week 11, but using him in fantasy leagues is a high-risk, if high-upside move. He'll either be playing with a QB that is hurt (Kyle Orton) or one that looked totally inept in the second half of Week 10 (Chris Simms). We'd take Marshall's upside and use him against San Diego. | 2 days | |
| 49. | Broncos | Marshall probable for Week 11 | (KFFL) Denver Broncos WR Brandon Marshall (neck) fully participated in practice Friday, Nov. 20. He is listed as probable for Week 11 and is expected to play. | 2 days | |
| 50. | Brandon Marshall | (RotoWire) Marshall (neck) practiced fully again on Friday and is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Chargers, the Broncos' official site reports. Analysis: Marshall is coming off a couple of big games, but he could take a bit of a hit this week if Kyle Orton sits and the Broncos are forced to roll with Chris Simms at QB. | 2 days | |
| 51. | Chris Cooley | (RotoWire) Cooley (ankle) has officially been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Cowboys, the Dallas Morning News reports. Analysis: Cooley is set to visit with a doctor on Monday, which should help determine whether he'll be available for Week 12. | 2 days | |
| 52. | Marion Barber | (RotoWire) Barber (thumb) is listed as probable for Sunday's game against Washington, the Dallas Morning News reports. Analysis: Barber should be fine on Sunday, but he was kept out of much of the fourth quarter last week when the Cowboys were in passing mode. He gets a tough matchup this week against Washington. | 2 days | |
| 53. | Clinton Portis | (RotoWire) Portis, who has been ruled out for Sunday's game at Dallas, was at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center Friday to have his concussion evaluated, Associated Press reports. "We're going to make sure we take care of all the details. We're for Clinton getting well," coach Jim Zorn said. "Each day Clinton's done a great job of communicating how he's felt, and that's what it's going to take." Analysis: It looks like the Redskins are wisely taking the cautious route here, so unless Portis gets some really good news Friday, he's looking iffy for next week. | 2 days | |
| 54. | Breaston limited again | (Rotoworld) Steve Breaston (knee, probable) was limited in Friday's practice. Analysis: Breaston, however, will be active at St. Louis. He's always a fine WR3 bet against porous defensive backfields. The Rams are 25th against the pass. | 2 days | |
| 55. | Steve Breaston | (RotoWire) Breaston (right knee) is probable for Sunday's game. Analysis: He has been a fixture on the Cardinals' injury reports this season, but he participated in all of this week's practices and he should be available for normal duty as the Cardinals' third receiver and top punt returner on Sunday. | 2 days | |
| 56. | Cardinals | Breaston probable for Week 11 | (KFFL) Darren Urban, of AZCardinals.com, reports Arizona Cardinals WR Steve Breaston (knee) was limited during practice Friday, Nov. 20. He is listed as probable for Week 11 and is expected to play. | 2 days | |
| 57. | Redskins | Cooley out for Week 11 | (KFFL) Ryan O'Halloran, of The Washington Times, reports Washington Redskins TE Chris Cooley (ankle) did not participate in practice Friday, Nov. 20. He has been ruled out for Week 11. | 2 days | |
| 58. | Redskins | Portis misses practice Friday | (KFFL) Ryan O'Halloran, of The Washington Times, reports Washington Redskins RB Clinton Portis (concussion) did not participate in practice Friday, Nov. 20. He had been ruled out of Week 11 earlier in the week. | 2 days | |
| 59. | Marshall practices Thursday | (TheHuddle) Denver Broncos WR Brandon Marshall (neck) participated in practice Thursday, Nov. 19. He will be able to play in Week 11. Analysis: Look for another WR option this week if you can, because it looks like Chris Simms will be starting at quarterback for Denver. It's asking a lot to trust Simms to be able to connect with Marshall on any sort of regular basis based on the awful game Simms had in relief of Kyle Orton against the Redskins in Week 10. | 2 days | |
| 60. | Portis to see another concussion special... | (Rotoworld) Clinton Portis will see another specialist about his concussion on Friday. Analysis: Portis, who's been ruled out for Week 11, is still in the process of getting medical clearance to resume practicing. We'd give thought to dropping him in 10-team leagues. He was playing poorly behind Washington's injury-ruined offensive line before the concussion, and would likely only return as a carry sharer with Ladell Betts down the stretch. Don't bet him playing in Week 12. | 2 days | |
| 61. | Redskins | Portis to meet with concussion specialist | (KFFL) Rick Maese, of The Washington Post, reports Washington Redskins RB Clinton Portis (concussion) is scheduled to travel to Pittsburgh to meet with a specialist regarding his concussion. | 2 days | |
| 62. | Broncos | Marshall practices Thursday | (KFFL) Denver Broncos WR Brandon Marshall (neck) participated in practice Thursday, Nov. 19. He will be able to play in Week 11. | 2 days | |
| 63. | Wolfe reportedly done for the season | (FFChamps) Bears running back Garrett Wolfe is now expected to miss the rest of the season due to the lacerated kidney he suffered in Week 9 against the Cardinals, according to an updated report on his status in today's Chicago Sun-Times. The initial prognosis was that he would miss several weeks. Wolfe is expected to make a complete recovery, but won't be ready to play football again until the offseason. Analysis: Tough break for Wolfe, but not a significant fantasy football story. Adrian Peterson is backing up 2009 fantasy football bust of the ... (More) | 2 days | |
| 64. | Bess leads Dolphins in receiving again | (Rotoworld) Davone Bess led the Dolphins in receptions for the third straight week, catching six passes for 63 yards against the Panthers in Week 11. Analysis: Bess was the primary pass catcher once again, seeing more snaps than the players rotating on the opposite side. Bess hauled in all six of his targets, several as tough catches in traffic for key first downs. Thursday's totals match his average over the previous two weeks, making him a WR3 option in PPR leagues going forward. | 3 days | |
| 65. | Steelers | Ward returns to practice Thursday | (KFFL) Pittsburgh Steelers WR Hines Ward (rest) returned for the team's practice Thursday, Nov. 19. | 3 days | |
| 66. | Cowboys | Barber practices in full Thursday | (KFFL) Dallas Cowboys RB Marion Barber III (thumb) practiced in full Thursday, Nov. 19. | 3 days | |
| 67. | Clinton Portis | (RotoWire) Coach Jim Zorn has ruled Portis (concussion) out for Sunday's game at Dallas, the Associated Press reports. Analysis: As a result, Ladell Betts will start in Portis' place for the second consecutive week. | 3 days | |
| 68. | Portis ruled out | (FFChamps) Washington Redskins running back Clinton Portis will miss his second straight game this Sunday as he deals with the effects of a concussion he suffered in Week 9. Head coach Jim Zorn made the announcement following practice on Thursday. Portis has not been able to practice since sustaining the concussion, according to the Associated Press. Analysis: No surprise here; we didn't expect Portis back for several weeks. Ladell Betts gets his second straight start. He looked pretty good agianst the Broncos' 12th ranked run defense last week; this ... (More) | 3 days | |
| 69. | Breaston should play Week 11 | (TheHuddle) Updating a previous report, AZCardinals.com reports Arizona Cardinals WR Steve Breaston (knee) should be able to play in Week 11. Analysis: Breaston will return to his No. 3 role now that Anquan Boldin seems to have healed from his sprained ankle. | 3 days | |
| 70. | Cardinals | Breaston should play Week 11 | (KFFL) Updating a previous report, Darren Urban, of AZCardinals.com, reports Arizona Cardinals WR Steve Breaston (knee) should be able to play in Week 11. | 3 days | |
| 71. | Portis ruled out for Week 11 | (TheHuddle) The Washington Post reports Washington Redskins head coach Jim Zorn said RB Clinton Portis (concussion) has been ruled out for Week 11. Analysis: No surprise here. Ladell Betts will be Washington's No. 1 running back this week against Dallas. However, temper your expectations for Betts this week.

| 74. | Brandon Marshall | (RotoWire) Marshall (neck and back) returned to practice Thursday after sitting out Wednesday, the Denver Post reports.

| 75. | Cardinals | Breaston limited Thursday | (KFFL) Darren Urban, of AZCardinals.com, reports Arizona Cardinals WR Steve Breaston (knee) was limited during practice Thursday, Nov. 19. | 3 days | |
| 76. | Steve Breaston limited Thursday | (Rotoworld) Steve Breaston (knee) was limited again in Thursday's practice. Analysis: Breaston will play in his customary No. 3 receiver role against the Rams, and we have him ranked as the No. 28 fantasy option at wide receiver this week. | 3 days | |

| 78. | Marshall practices Thursday | (TheHuddle) The Denver Post reports Denver Broncos WR Brandon Marshall (neck) returned to practice Thursday, Nov. 19. Analysis: Marshall's going to be fine to play, but his Fantasy stock has taken a nosedive for Week 11 with the news that Kyle Orton's status is extremely questionable. Marshall disappeared when backup Chris Simms took over for Orton last week against Washington; if Simms starts this week, there a good chance Marshall will disappear again. | 3 days | |
| 79. | Clinton Portis ruled out for Sunday's ga... | (Rotoworld) Clinton Portis (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game at Dallas. Analysis: This was expected. Portis has yet to practice this week and is still experiencing the aftereffects from his concussion two weeks after the fact. We're not counting on him to return next week either. Ladell Betts is healthier this week than last and will carry the load against the Cowboys' strong run defense. | 3 days | |
| 80. | Brandon Marshall returns to Broncos prac... | (Rotoworld) Brandon Marshall (neck, back) returned to practice Thursday. Analysis: Marshall has been banged up the past two weeks, but he's in no danger of missing Sunday's game against the Chargers. We have him ranked as the No. 7 option at wide receiver this week. | 3 days | |

| 82. | Portis not practicing Thursday | (TheHuddle) The Washington Post reports Washington Redskins RB Clinton Portis (concussion) is not participating in practice Thursday, Nov. 19.

| 84. | Clinton Portis | (RotoWire) Portis (concussion) did not practice Wednesday but worked out on his own earlier in the day to "get a little sweat going", the Washington Post reports. After the workout he experienced blurriness and he is "very doubtful" to play on Sunday. Analysis: Portis is still feeling the effects from a Week 9 concussion, the second of his career (first one happened in college). He is not expected to play on Sunday. Ladell Betts will see the majority of touches in his place. | 3 days | |
| 85. | Clinton Portis "very doubtful" for Sunday | (FFToolbox) Brian Westbrook's status for the rest of this season is very uncertain due to a concussion. Washington Redskins running back Clinton Portis is also recovering from a concussion and while he is expected to return before 2010, head coach Jim Zorn said Wednesday that it's "very doubtful" he will play Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys. Zorn said Portis worked out early Wednesday morning and Portis experienced some blurriness. Zorn also said that Portis must fully practice at least once before playing. Even if Portis stops experiencing symptoms, coaches want to wait a full 24 hours and retest him before ... (More) | 4 days | |

| 90. | Brandon Marshall held out of practice | (Rotoworld) Brandon Marshall was held out of Broncos practice Wednesday with a neck injury. Analysis: Marshall, coming off a dominant 134-yard, two-score effort against a tough Redskins secondary, was banged up at one point in Week 10 but finished the game.

| 92. | Portis says no need to hurry back | (TheHuddle) The Washington Post, reports Washington Redskins RB Clinton Portis (concussion) said he does not need to rush back to the lineup as long as RB Ladell Betts is playing well while he is out. Portis said he would not mind splitting carries with Betts when he is able to return fully healthy. Portis said he will do what he can during practice while he still is experiencing symptoms from the concussion. Analysis: Betts has been solid anytime he has been pressed into service over the years and is capable of being the workhorse back in Washington. Fantasy owners should expect Portis to come back at least on... (More) | 4 days | |

| 95. | Redskins | Portis says no need to hurry back if Betts plays well | (KFFL) Dan Steinberg, of The Washington Post, reports Washington Redskins RB Clinton Portis (concussion) said he does not need to rush back to the lineup as long as RB Ladell Betts is playing well while is out. Portis said he would not mind splitting carries with Betts when he is able to return fully healthy. Portis said he will do what he can during practice while he still is experiencing symptoms from the concussion. | 4 days | |
| 96. | Marion Barber | (RotoWire) Barber (thumb) participated fully in practice Wednesday, the Dallas Morning News reports. Analysis: Barber's thumb hinders his ability to pass block, which kept him out for much of the fourth quarter in last Sunday's loss to Green Bay. He should do better than five carries this week, but the loss of Marc Colombo and the Redskins' staunch defensive front makes him only a mediocre fantasy play. | 4 days | |
| 97. | Steve Breaston | (RotoWire) Breaston (right knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. Analysis: He has been playing through this injury for months and he should do so again on Sunday against the Rams. | 4 days |
