| 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. | Barrett Ruud | (RotoWire) Ruud had 10 tackles (eight solo) and one pass defended in the Buccaneers' 38-7 loss to the Saints Sunday. Analysis: Ruud is a solid IDP league option as he is a tackling machine. | 4 hours | |
| 4. | C. Johnson records 161 yards Week 11 | (TheHuddle) The Associated Press reports Detroit Lions WR Calvin Johnson caught seven passes for 161 yards and one touchdown in Week 11. Analysis: After this performance Johnson appears to be fully recovered from the injury that had limited him over the last few weeks. He is clearly developing into a star in the NFL and with the Lions' QB Matt Stafford also showing lots of potential, the future looks bright for the Detroit offense in the not so distant future. | 5 hours | |
| 5. | Calvin Johnson | (RotoWire) Johnson (hand) hauled in seven passes for a career-high 161 yards, including a 75-yard touchdown, in Sunday's wild 38-37 win over Cleveland. Analysis: This is just what Johnson needed - to face a soft defense like the Browns. Just as encouraging for Johnson is that rookie quarterback Matthew Stafford went off for 422 yards and five touchdowns, an impressive performance even against lowly Cleveland. Johnson was even a factor when he wasn't catching passes, drawing a huge pass interference call in the endzone with no time remaining to set up Stafford's game-winning touchdown pass to Brandon Pettigrew. | 6 hours | |
| 6. | 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. | 7 hours | |
| 7. | Adrian Wilson | (RotoWire) Wilson (groin) recorded an interception for the second time in as many games on Sunday. He finished with five tackles (three solo). Analysis: A favorable remaining schedule could help him to a new career-high in interceptions. Wilson needs just one more to tie his current record of four (set in 2002 and tied in 2006). | 7 hours | |
| 8. | 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 | |
| 9. | James Harrison | (RotoWire) Harrison had three tackles, a sack and a fumble recovery in Sunday's loss to the Chiefs. Analysis: Harrison's take-down of Matt Cassel was his 10th sack of the season, giving him double-digit sacks for the second straight season. Only Denver's Elvis Dumervil has more sacks among linebackers (12). | 7 hours | |
| 10. | 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 | |
| 11. | 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 | |
| 12. | 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 | |
| 13. | 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. | 8 hours | |
| 14. | 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. | 8 hours | |
| 15. | 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. | 8 hours | |
| 16. | 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. | 9 hours | |
| 17. | Lions | C. Johnson records 161 yards Week 11 | (KFFL) The Associated Press reports Detroit Lions WR Calvin Johnson caught seven passes for 161 yards and one touchdown in Week 11. | 9 hours | |
| 18. | 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 | |
| 19. | 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 | |
| 20. | Mike Peterson | (RotoWire) Peterson had nine tackles and two assists in the Falcons' overtime loss to the Giants on Sunday. Analysis: The Falcons are very strong at linebacker, but the rest of the defense put up a very lousy effort to stop Eli Manning and the Giants' attack. | 10 hours | |
| 21. | Calvin Johnson limps his way to 161 yard... | (Rotoworld) Calvin Johnson caught seven passes for 161 yards and one touchdown in Week 11 against the Browns. Analysis: Johnson narrowly missed a touchdown catch in the second quarter and came down hard on the play, limping off the field. He was in and out of the game quite a bit after that while clearly in pain, yet still managed to get completely behind the defense for a 75-yard touchdown and topped 100 yards for just the second time this season. | 10 hours | |
| 22. | Taylor totals 85 yards in Week 11 win | (Rotoworld) Chester Taylor rushed 11 times for 73 yards and caught two passes for 12 yards in Week 11 against the Seahawks. Analysis: Taylor was on the field in tandem with Adrian Peterson more than usual and got plenty of garbage time work late, turning a negative play into a 25-yard gain by going sideline to sideline on the game's penultimate play. | 11 hours | |
| 23. | Houshmandzadeh held to 36 yards in loss | (Rotoworld) T.J. Houshmandzadeh caught four passes for 36 yards in Week 11 against the Vikings. Analysis: Just a little more to make the Vikings thankful that Houshmandzadeh picked Seattle over Minnesota this offseason. He had a huge game against Arizona last week thanks to 17 targets, but Houshmandzadeh was mostly a non-factor in Week 11. | 11 hours | |
| 24. | 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 | |
| 25. | Haynesworth out for Skins' matchup with ... | (Rotoworld) Albert Haynesworth (ankle) will not play on Sunday against the Cowboys. Analysis: Haynesworth didn't practice during the week and was listed as questionable. Kedric Golston will get the start. Haynesworth has been dealing with nagging injuries all season and will miss his first game of the year. Upgrade the Cowboys' Marion Barber in this matchup. | 15 hours | |
| 26. | Albert Haynesworth will not play for Red... | (Rotoworld) Albert Haynesworth (ankle) will not play against the Cowboys Sunday. Analysis: Kedric Golston gets the start and is obviously a big downgrade. Upgrade Marion Barber's matchup, especially considering how much the Cowboys emphasized the run this week. Haynesworth's bulk in the middle will be sorely missed. | 15 hours | |
| 27. | Adrian Wilson | (RotoWire) Wilson (groin, probable) will probably be at the line of scrimmage on nearly every play on Sunday against the Rams, the East Valley Tribune reports. Analysis: The Cardinals are much more concerned with St. Louis' running attack than their passing game. As a result, Wilson could be on track for a good tackling day and he might get the sack he needs in order to become the 10th player in NFL history to accumulate 20 career sacks and 20 career interceptions. | 17 hours | |
| 28. | Haynesworth is a game-time decision Sund... | (Rotoworld) Albert Haynesworth (ankle) will be a game-time decision for Sunday's game against the Cowboys but is still unlikely to play. Analysis: Haynesworth's status has been in question all week with him not practicing and wearing a walking boot. If he can't go, Kedric Golston will start in his place, and it will be a huge upgrade to the Cowboys' running backs, mainly Marion Barber. | 18 hours | |
| 29. | Brown injury update | (TheHuddle) The South Florida Sun-Sentinel, report Miami Dolphins RB Ronnie Brown (foot) underwent surgery Friday, Nov. 20, to repair a Lisfranc fracture to his right foot and head coach Tony Sparano said the surgery 'went well.' Although it is uncertain how long Brown's recovery time will be, OG Donald Thomas suffered a similar injury in the opening game last year and began training four months later. Analysis: All signs point to a full recovery for Brown who is in a contract year this season. The injury will likely lower his value to NFL teams who may be interested in making an offer in the offseason however... (More) | 1 day | |
| 30. | Johnson denies he wants out of Houston | (Rotoworld) Andre Johnson denied an ESPN The Magazine report that he plans to force a trade if the Texans don't make the playoffs. Analysis: "That didn't come from me. ... I make my own decisions, and I plan on being here until I retire," Johnson said. Johnson signed an eight-year, $60 million contract in March of 2007 and it's very unlikely he's going anywhere before that deal is up. The Texans are at 5-4 right now but still have a solid shot at making the postseason for the first time in franchise history. | 1 day | |
| 31. | Dolphins | Brown injury update | (KFFL) Harvey Fialkov and Omar Kelly, of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, report Miami Dolphins RB Ronnie Brown (foot) underwent surgery Friday, Nov. 20, to repair a Lisfranc fracture to his right foot and head coach Tony Sparano said the surgery "went well." Although it is uncertain how long Brown's recovery time will be, OG Donald Thomas suffered a similar injury in the opening game last year and began training four months later. | 1 day | |
| 32. | Redskins | Haynesworth to play in Week 11 | (KFFL) ESPN.com reports Washington Redskins DL Albert Haynesworth (ankle) is questionable for Week 11, although secondary coach Jerry Gray said Friday, Nov. 20, during a radio interview that Haynesworth would play in the game. | 1 day | |
| 33. | 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 | |
| 34. | Jones limited, questionable | (FFChamps) Houston Texans' wide receiver Jacoby Jones (calf) was limited in practice Friday, and is listed as questionable for Monday night's game against the Tennessee Titans. Analysis: Jones was limited in practice, and appears will not be 100% by gametime, even with the extra day to rest and heal. Jones is a supremely athletic wideout with big play potential in the Texans' high octane offense. He is terribly inconsistent though. Obviously, as long as robo-receiver Andre Johnson is in town, Jones will never be more than a second option. More) | 2 days | |
| 35. | 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 | |
| 36. | Stafford participates fully | (FFChamps) Detriot Lions' quarterback Matthew Stafford participated fully in the team's Friday practice, and will start Sunday at home against the Browns. Analysis: This is the first time in over a month that Stafford hasn't been limited in practice. The rookie has been inconsistent in his inaugural campaign, but he has a howitzer attached to his right shoulder, and already gives the Lions their best chance to win week-to-week. His presence optimizes Calvin Johnson's fantasy value, as well, as Stafford recognizes Megatron is exponentially better than any other option he has currently running routes in Motown. | 2 days | |
| 37. | Ronnie Brown | (RotoWire) Brown underwent surgery on his right foot Friday, according to the Dolphins web site. Analysis: The surgery was deemed a success. As for his availability for the start of the 2010 season, head coach Tony Sparano was unwilling to speculate. This is the second major injury in three years for Brown as he suffered a torn ACL in 2007. | 2 days | |
| 38. | Albert Haynesworth | (RotoWire) Haynesworth (ankle) did not practice again on Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Dallas, the Fredericksburg Free Lance-Star reports. He will be a game-time decision. Analysis: ESPN's John Clayton calls Haynesworth "very questionable" and said there's a possibility that Haynesworth receives little to no work even if he's active on Sunday. | 2 days | |
| 39. | Calvin Johnson | (RotoWire) Johnson was limited in Friday's practice by a hand injury, but is listed as probable for Sunday's game against Cleveland, the Lions' official site reports. Analysis: We're not sure how he suffered the injury -- he may have just bumped it in Thursday's practice -- but Johnson's status for Sunday doesn't appear to be in jeopardy. | 2 days | |
| 40. | Cardinals | Wilson probable for Week 11 | (KFFL) Darren Urban, of AZCardinals.com, reports Arizona Cardinals SS Adrian Wilson (groin) fully participated in practice Friday, Nov. 20. He is listed as probable for Week 11 and is expected to play. | 2 days | |
| 41. | Adrian Wilson | (RotoWire) Wilson (groin) is probable for Sunday's game. Analysis: He was a full participant in practice on Thursday and Friday and he should be in the Cardinals' starting lineup on Sunday. With one more sack, Wilson will become the 10th player in NFL history to have 20 career interceptions and 20 career sacks. | 2 days | |
| 42. | Redskins | Haynesworth questionable for Week 11 | (KFFL) Ryan O'Halloran, of The Washington Times, reports Washington Redskins DT Albert Haynesworth (ankle) did not participate in practice Friday, Nov. 20. He is listed as questionable for Week 11 and will be a game-time decision. | 2 days | |
| 43. | Report: Haynesworth unlikely to face Cow... | (Rotoworld) ESPN reports that Redskins DT Albert Haynesworth (ankle) is unlikely to play Sunday against the Cowboys. Analysis: The loss takes a massive chunk out of Washington's already sagging run defense, which has fallen to 24th in the NFL. Haynesworth (6'6/350) will be replaced by Kedric Golston (6'4/300). Overlook Marion Barber's eight-touch Week 10 and use him against the Skins. Dallas' coaching staff has made it clear this week that they'll refocus on the ground game going forward. | 2 days | |
| 44. | Dolphins | Brown to undergo surgery Friday | (KFFL) Omar Kelly, of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, reports Miami Dolphins RB Ronnie Brown (foot) is scheduled to undergo surgery Friday, Nov. 20, to repair a Lisfranc fracture in his right foot. | 2 days | |
| 45. | Brown to undergo surgery on foot | (FFChamps) Dolphins running back Ronnie Brown will undergo surgery on Friday to repair the Lisfranc fracture in his right foot, according to the Miami Herald. He is expected to be ready to play football again next year, though a specific timetable for his recovery has not been announced. Analysis: Tracking Brown's progress will be one of the top offseason injury storylines for fantasy owners to track. Meanwhile, Ricky Williams will reap the benefits of his absence the final six games of the season. | 2 days | |
| 46. | Ronnie Brown | (RotoWire) Brown will undergo surgery to repair a Lisfranc fracture in his right foot, the Miami Herald reports. Analysis: He's expected to be ready by the start of next season, but Lisfranc fractures are tricky injuries, so watch his progress this offseason. | 3 days | |
| 47. | Report: R. Brown to undergo Lisfranc sur... | (Rotoworld) Ronnie Brown has reportedly decided to undergo surgery to repair the Lisfranc fracture in his right foot. Analysis: Brown had already been leaning toward electing for the surgery, and his visit with foot specialist Dr. Bob Anderson confirmed that it was the right decision. Brown will undergo surgery Friday and will likely miss all of OTAs next season. He expects to be recovered "well before" the start of the 2010 season, but he's likely to be eased in during training camp. | 3 days | |
| 48. | Dolphins inactives for Week 11 | (FFChamps) The Miami Dolphins have announced the following players as inactive for tonight's game against the Carolina Panthers: TE Anthony Fasano, LB Erik Walden, OT Andrew Gardner, DE Lionel Dotson, OT Lydon Murtha, DT Paul Soliai, RB Nate Ness, and QB Tyler Thigpen. In addition, running back Ronnie Brown is on injured reserve with a Lisfranc injury. Analysis: The big news remains the fact that Brown is done for the year. Ricky Williams will shoulder the load at running back, but fantasy ... (More) | 3 days | |
| 49. | Cardinals | A. Wilson practices in full Thursday | (KFFL) Darren Urban, of AZCardinals.com, reports Arizona Cardinals SS Adrian Wilson (groin) practiced in full Thursday, Nov. 19, and will play in Week 11. | 3 days | |
| 50. | Redskins | Haynesworth misses practice Thursday | (KFFL) Updating previous reports, Ryan O'Halloran, of The Washington Times, reports Washington Redskins DT Albert Haynesworth (ankle) did not participate in practice Thursday, Nov. 19. He will be a game-time decision for Week 11. | 3 days | |
| 51. | Adrian Wilson | (RotoWire) Wilson (groin) was a full participant in Thursday's practice and he should play on Sunday, the Cardinals' official site reports. Analysis: He should be fine to fill his usual starting role. | 3 days | |
| 52. | Steelers | Harrison fined | (KFFL) Ed Bouchette, of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, reports Pittsburgh Steelers LB James Harrison was fined $5,000 Thursday, Nov. 19, for punching Cincinnati Bengals OT Andrew Whitworth in Week 10. | 3 days | |
| 53. | Redskins | Haynesworth not practicing Thursday | (KFFL) Rick Maese, of The Washington Post, reports Washington Redskins DT Albert Haynesworth (ankle) is not participating in practice Thursday, Nov. 19. | 3 days | |
| 54. | Brown has Lisfranc fracture | (FFChamps) Ronnie Brown's season ended yesterday because the Dolphins suspect he has a Lisfranc fracture in his right foot, according to the Miami Herald. The paper reports that Brown traveled to Charlotte to visit Dr. Bob Anderson, a foot specialist who will add his input about the severity of the issue. A Lisfranc fracture may or may not require surgery, but in either case the injury is significant enough to end his season. Analysis: The good thing is that, according to the report in the Herald, this should not have any long-term effects on Brown. However, try telling that to fantasy owners next summer when th... (More) | 3 days | |
| 55. | Brown believed to have Lisfranc injury | (TheHuddle) Jeff Darlington, of the Miami Herald, reports Dolphins RB Ronnie Brown is believed to have a Lisfranc fracture in his right foot. Analysis: If true, this is potentially devastating news for Brown. This is the same injury that knocked Duce Staley out for an entire season, and it's no guarantee Brown can come all the way back from Lisfranc surgery. | 3 days | |
| 56. | Dolphins | Brown believed to have Lisfranc injury | (KFFL) Jeff Darlington, of the Miami Herald, reports Miami Dolphins RB Ronnie Brown (foot, ankle) is believed to have a Lisfranc fracture in his right foot. | 3 days | |
| 57. | Haynesworth to be game-time decision | (Rotoworld) Albert Haynesworth (ankle) is expected to be a game-time decision for Sunday's game against the Cowboys. Analysis: The Redskins' $100 million man was in a walking boot Wednesday and will probably stay off the ankle all week. It will be a significant upgrade for the Cowboys' running game if Haynesworth sits and Kedric Golston starts. | 3 days | |
| 58. | Redskins | Haynesworth misses practice Wednesday | (KFFL) Washington Redskins DT Albert Haynesworth (ankle) missed the team's practice Wednesday, Nov. 18. | 4 days | |
| 59. | Report: Ronnie Brown has Lisfranc fractu... | (Rotoworld) According to Dolphins beat writer Jeff Darlington, Ronnie Brown's season-ending right foot injury is "believed" to be a Lisfranc fracture. Analysis: The break will likely require surgery and bring into question Brown's status for 2010 training camp. By late July, he'll be seven months removed from the injury. A source tells Darlington that the mid-foot fracture isn't "anything major as far as career or long term," but Brown will likely miss all of OTA season. Noted Dr. Robert Anderson will decide whether Brown needs an operation. | 4 days | |
| 60. | Ronnie Brown placed on injured reserve | (FFToolbox) Miami Dolphins running back Ronnie Brown has seen the field for the last time in 2009. The team placed him on injured reserve Wednesday, ending his season. Brown left the team's game Sunday with a foot injury, the extent of which has yet to be disclosed. But it is believed to be a mid-foot sprain or a Lisfranc fracture. With him out of the picture, Ricky Williams becomes the team's No. 1 back, while Lex Hilliard -- who has yet to get a carry in his two-year career -- is expecte... (More) | 4 days | |
| 61. | Ronnie Brown placed on IR | (TheHuddle) ESPN's Adam Schefter reports the Miami Dolphins placed RB Ronnie Brown (foot) on the Injured Reserve List Wednesday, Nov. 18, ending his 2009 season. Analysis: After days of speculation we now know how bad Browns' foot injury is. He'll miss the rest of the season and the Miami wildcat offense (and offense in general) takes a huge hit. Early reports are that the Dolphins will try to wildcat on with Ricky Williams taking the snaps. | 4 days | |
| 62. | Season over for Brown | (FFChamps) Ronnie Brown's season is over. The Miami Dolphins placed their starting running back on injured reserve Wednesday, as first reported by ESPN's Adam Schefter on Twitter. Brown suffered a foot injury during last Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, the exact nature of which has yet to be revealed. Analysis: The worst fears of fantasy owners have been realized, as Brown is now officially done for the year. Ricky Williams takes over as the starting running back the rest of the way and will need to shoulder nearly the full load because the Dolp... (More) | 4 days | |
| 63. | Dolphins | Brown placed on IR | (KFFL) ESPN's Adam Schefter reports the Miami Dolphins placed RB Ronnie Brown (foot) on the Injured Reserve List Wednesday, Nov. 18, ending his 2009 season. | 4 days | |
| 64. | Ronnie Brown | (RotoWire) Brown (ankle) has been placed on injured reserve, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. Analysis: At 4-5, the Dolphins' task of making a push for a Wild Card spot in the AFC just got much more difficult. Ricky Williams' value significantly increases the rest of the season as it's unlikely that he'll give up as any many carries to Lex Hilliard as he did while sharing the workload with Brown. | 4 days | |
| 65. | Adrian Wilson | (RotoWire) Wilson (groin) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. Analysis: There's still plenty of time before Sunday's game and it's a good sign that Wilson was able to do some work on Wednesday. We're optimistic that he will be able to play his normal role on Sunday against the Rams. | 4 days | |
| 66. | Dolphins | Brown seeing specialist | (KFFL) Edgar Thompson, of the Palm Beach Post, reports Miami Dolphins RB Ronnie Brown (foot) was scheduled to have his injured right foot examined by a specialist Wednesday, Nov. 18, which might determine if he will be able to return this season. Word in the team's locker room is that he will miss at least the next two weeks. One league source said Brown will miss the rest of the season, while another source said no one is sure about the timetable. | 4 days | |
| 67. | Cardinals | Seven limited Wednesday | (KFFL) Darren Urban, of AZCardinals.com, reports Arizona Cardinals LB Gerald Hayes (back), LB Karlos Dansby (shoulder), FS Adrian Wilson (groin), OT Mike Gandy (pelvis), WR Sean Morey (concussion), DL Kenny Iwebema (knee) and TE Ben Patrick (knee) were limited in practice Wednesday, Nov. 18. | 4 days | |
| 68. | Redskins | Haynesworth misses practice Wednesday | (KFFL) Ryan O'Halloran, of The Washington Times, reports Washington Redskins DL Albert Haynesworth (ankle) did not practice Wednesday, Nov. 18. Head coach Jim Zorn said it will probably come down to a weekend decision with Haynesworth. | 4 days | |
| 69. | Ronnie Brown | (RotoWire) Brown, who is out for Thursday's game against the Panthers, is slated to have his injured right foot examined by a specialist Wednesday, the Palm Beach Post reports. Analysis: There have been whispers that Brown might be done for the season, but nothing has been confirmed one way or the other on that front. Either way, Brown owners should start formulating a contingency plan beyond Week 11. | 4 days | |
| 70. | Albert Haynesworth | (RotoWire) Haynesworth did not practice on Wednesday, Ryan O'Halloran of the Washington Times reports. Analysis: We should have a much better read on his chances of playing Sunday as the week progresses. As long as Haynesworth gets on the field by the end of the week, he should be ready to go against Dallas. | 4 days | |
| 71. | Ronnie Brown done for season? | (Rotoworld) A league source told the Palm Beach Post Tuesday night that Ronnie Brown (foot, ankle) is "done for the season." Analysis: Another source said "no one is sure," but the first source appears to be in agreement with Profootballtalk.com's early-Wednesday report. Brown's status may be determined by a specialist during his Wednesday checkup. According to the Post, "word" in the Dolphins' locker room is that Brown definitely won't play in Weeks 11 and 12. There's been no talk of Brown going on I.R. yet. | 4 days | |
| 72. | Brown out | (FFChamps) The Miami Dolphins will be without running back Ronnie Brown when they face the Panthers on Thursday night. Head coach Tony Sparano confirmed the expected absence on Tuesday, according to the Miami Herald. Brown injured his right foot and ankle during last Sunday's game against the Buccaneers and will reportedly see a specialist about his injuries. ProFootballTalk.com is citing a league source as suggesting there is some concern that Brown's season might be over.

| 73. | Report: Ronnie Brown out for whole seaso... | (Rotoworld) The "current thinking" is that Ronnie Brown (foot) will miss the rest of the season, a league source tells Profootballtalk.com. Analysis: The report admits that this prognosis could change based on the advice of the specialist and how Brown's rehab goes, so this is far from a sure thing. If Brown is lost for the season, Ricky Williams would become into an elite fantasy player worthy of an every week start over the final seven games of the season. Brown is the currently the No. 9 fantasy running back in standard scoring leagues. | 4 days | |
| 74. | Ronnie Brown could be out for rest of season | (FFToolbox) As the week has gone on, it seems as if the news on Ronnie Brown's availability has gotten increasingly pessimistic. His ankle injury turned into a foot and ankle injury. And now, while he was already ruled out for Thursday's game against the Carolina Panthers, he could be out for much longer -- like the rest of the season. The Dolphins have not publicly acknowledged that the team fears Brown will miss the remainder of the season, but per a league source, the current thinking is that Brown will not be able to play again this year. This could change based upon the advice of the specialist that Brown ... (More) | 4 days | |

| 86. | T.J. Houshmandzadeh | (RotoWire) Houshmandzadeh posted season highs of nine catches and 165 yards Sunday on a whopping 17 targets. Analysis: Squeaky wheel gets the grease. Houshmandzadeh has complained for much of the season that he wasn't being thrown to enough. Perhaps the Seahawks finally gave in or maybe it is just a coincidence resulting from game conditions. Either way, the Seahawks still lost, so don't take it as a guarantee that Houshmandzadeh will see numerous targets going forward. Nate Burleson was the big loser, seeing only five passes with no receptions. Houshmandzadeh was targeted twice inside the 10, once inside the five, but came away without a score. | 6 days | |
