| 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. | 3 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." | 3 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. | 3 hours | |
| 4. | 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. | 4 hours | |
| 5. | Patriots | Welker catches 15 passes Week 11 | (KFFL) The Associated Press reports New England Patriots WR Wes Welker had career highs with 15 receptions for 192 yards Week 11. He also had one carry for 11 rushing yards in the game. | 7 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. | 8 hours | |
| 7. | Coles catches two for 61 | (Rotoworld) Laveranues Coles caught only two passes for 61 yards in Week 11. Analysis: Coles, showing that he still has some speed, beat Raiders LCB Chris Johnson for a 40-yard reception to save another mediocre-to-weak fantasy effort. Coles and Andre Caldwell continue to cancel each other out in fantasy. | 8 hours | |
| 8. | Wes Welker | (RotoWire) Welker caught 15 passes for 192 yards in Sunday's win over the Jets. Analysis: Defenses need to pick their poison with the Pats and with Randy Moss held to five catches for 34 yards Sunday, Welker ran wild. He now has 79 catches for 854 yards with four TDs in eight games. If he falls short of Marvin Harrison's record of 143 catches in a season, it will probably be due to the two games he missed earlier this year. | 8 hours | |
| 9. | 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. | 8 hours | |
| 10. | 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) | 8 hours | |
| 11. | Welker has career day in easy win over J... | (Rotoworld) Wes Welker caught 15 passes for 192 yards in Sunday's win over the Jets. Analysis: Welker established new career highs in catches and yardage in this dominant performance. He went over the middle without fear despite taking a bunch of big hits. There's no reason to think anyone can keep Welker from racking up catches as we move forward and he's among the top PPR options going into next week's showdown with the Saints. | 8 hours | |
| 12. | 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. | 9 hours | |
| 13. | 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. | 9 hours | |
| 14. | 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). | 9 hours | |
| 15. | Gonzalez's TD sends game to overtime | (Rotoworld) Tony Gonzalez caught eight passes for 87 yards and a touchdown against the Giants in Week 11. Analysis: Gonzalez started slowly with Matt Ryan struggling, but he turned it on late. He made an outstanding leaping grab in traffic for an 11-yard touchdown with 30 second left, sending the game to overtime. With plenty of life left in his legs, Gonzalez is on pace for 83 receptions, 941 yards, and eight receptions. | 9 hours | |
| 16. | Matt Ryan throws for 268 yards, 2 TDs | (Rotoworld) Matt Ryan completed 26-of-46 passes for 268 yards and two touchdowns against the Giants in Week 11. Analysis: Ryan played scared in the first half against a swarming Giants front-seven, but he showed signs of emerging from his five-game funk in the second half. He completed 10 straight passes at one point and led the Falcons to two fourth-quarter touchdowns, including a game-tying 11-yard bullet to Tony Gonzalez with 30 seconds left. He's a borderline QB1 against the Bucs porous defense next week. | 9 hours | |
| 17. | 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. | 10 hours | |
| 18. | 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. | 10 hours | |
| 19. | Willie Parker | (RotoWire) Parker carried six times for 24 yards and caught one pass for 11 yards in Sunday's game against the Chiefs. Analysis: Offensive Coordinator Bruce Arians said Parker still had a role in the offense and made sure to get Parker more involved than he had been in the prior three games. Those who have Rashard Mendenhall on their roster still have no need to worry though as Mendenhall continues to prove he is simply the better back right now (he had 116 total yards and a touchdown against KC). | 10 hours | |
| 20. | 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. | 10 hours | |
| 21. | 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. | 10 hours | |
| 22. | 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. | 10 hours | |
| 23. | Jason Elam | (RotoWire) Elam made 1-of-2 field goals and four extra points on Sunday against the Giants. Analysis: The struggles continue for Elam. Elam is just 10-of-15 on field goals this season, and has just two kicks of 40 yards or more. | 11 hours | |
| 24. | Tony Gonzalez | (RotoWire) Gonzalez caught 8 passes for 82 yards and a touchdown in the Falons 34-31 overtime loss to the Giants. Analysis: The Falcons have lost four of their last five games, but Gonzalez is having a great fantasy season. He's healthy, and playing well with Matt Ryan in his first year in Atlanta. | 11 hours | |
| 25. | Kevin Smith totals 149 yards, TD in win | (Rotoworld) Kevin Smith rushed 12 times for 45 yards and caught four passes for 104 yards and one touchdown in Week 11 against the Browns. Analysis: Detroit didn't need to run much against Cleveland's sieve-like pass defense, so Smith did most of his damage on a pair of catches that came after play-action fakes to him coming out of the backfield. The first such play left him completely uncovered for a 64-yard gain and the second was a 25-yard touchdown. | 11 hours | |
| 26. | Matt Ryan | (RotoWire) Ryan passed 26-of-46 with 268 yards and two touchdowns in the Falcons' 31-34 loss to the Giants in overtime. Analysis: Ryan was able to snap his six-game interception streak and put together a solid performance against the Giants. More importantly, Ryan was able to lead the team back from a 14-point deficit in the fourth quarter to force the overtime period, and really showed the poise and control we saw in his rookie season last year, which had yet to really show up in 2009. Despite the loss and coughing up a fumble that turned into a Giants touchdown, along with managing a game with a very thin running back depth chart, Ryan did a lot of things right on Sunday... (More) | 11 hours | |
| 27. | Holt limited to three catches in Week 11 | (Rotoworld) Torry Holt caught three passes for 31 yards in Week 11. Analysis: Holt was held to just one catch for 10 yards in the first half, and wasn't much better in the final two quarters. He has just 109 yards over the past four games and still hasn't found the end zone. | 11 hours | |
| 28. | 49ers inactives for Week 11 | (FFChamps) The San Francisco 49ers have declared the following players as inactive for today's game against the Green Bay Packers: WR Brandon Jones, third QB Nate Davis, LB Takeo Spikes, CB Keith Smith, CB Nate Clements, OT Joe Staley, C Cody Wallace, and DE Ricky Jean-Francois. Analysis: Staley and Clements are both expected to return in coming weeks, but are out once again today. Staley may already be the 49ers best offensive lineman, so his absence is a slight ding to Frank Gore's fantas... (More) | 16 hours | |
| 29. | 49ers declare inactives | (Rotoworld) 49ers declared WR Brandon Jones, third QB Nate Davis, LB Takeo Spikes, CB Keith Smith, CB Nate Clements, OT Joe Staley, C Cody Wallace, and DE Ricky Jean-Francois inactive for Week 11. Analysis: Jones is a $16.5 million healthy scratch. The 49ers aren't kidding when they say they'll play the players that give them the best chance to win. Isaac Bruce, Arnaz Battle, and Josh Morgan have been deemed more valuable. | 16 hours | |
| 30. | 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. | 2 days | |
| 31. | 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 | |
| 32. | Coles probable | (FFChamps) Cincinnati Bengals' wide receiver Laveranues Coles (head) practiced fully on Friday, and is listed as probable for the team's game versus the Oakland Raiders. Analysis: Coles will most likely be good-to-go for Sunday. You have to think Chad Ochocinco will be blanketed by all-world cover specialist Nnamdi Asomugha for most of the contest, so Coles may get even more looks than normal this weekend (though, as it stands, he has led the team in targets over the past two weeks). Coles is no longer the deep threat he was in New York, but he is a v... (More) | 2 days | |
| 33. | 49ers | Spikes limited Friday, not expected to play Week 11 | (KFFL) Updating a previous item, Matt Maiocco, of the Santa Rosa Press Democrat, reports San Francisco 49ers LB Takeo Spikes (hamstring) was limited during the team's practice Friday, Nov. 20, and he is listed as questionable for Week 11. Spikes is not expected to play and will likely be replaced by LB Matt Wilhelm. | 2 days | |
| 34. | Saints | Three miss practice, out for Week 11 | (KFFL) New Orleans Saints WR Lance Moore (ankle), CB Jabari Greer (groin) and CB Tracy Porter (knee) missed the team's practice Friday, Nov. 20, and are out for Week 11. | 2 days | |
| 35. | Takeo Spikes | (RotoWire) Spikes (hamstring) returned to practice on a limited basis Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Green Bay, the 49ers' official site reports. Analysis: The return to practice gives Spikes some hope of playing Sunday, but he's far too risky to consider as a fantasy play this week. | 2 days | |
| 36. | 49ers | Spikes limited Friday | (KFFL) Matt Maiocco, of the Santa Rosa Press Democrat, reports San Francisco 49ers LB Takeo Spikes (hamstring) was limited in practice Friday, Nov. 20, and is questionable for Week 11. | 2 days | |
| 37. | Jabari Greer | (RotoWire) Greer (groin) has been ruled out of Sunday's game against Tampa Bay, the New Orleans Times-Picayune reports. Analysis: New Orleans will be without both starting cornerbacks against the Buccaneers, likely forcing Malcom Jenkins and Randall Gay into the starting lineup. The newly signed Chris McAlister could factor in as well. | 2 days | |
| 38. | Coles to face the Raiders | (Rotoworld) Laveranues Coles (head, probable) practiced in full Friday. Analysis: Coles will face the Raiders, but isn't a recommended fantasy play. | 2 days | |
| 39. | Bengals | Coles probable for Week 11 | (KFFL) Joe Reedy, of The Cincinnati Enquirer, reports Cincinnati Bengals WR Laveranues Coles (head) participated in practice Friday, Nov. 20. He is listed as probable for Week 11 and will be able to play. | 2 days | |
| 40. | Laveranues Coles | (RotoWire) Coles (head) practiced fully Friday and is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Raiders, the Bengals' official site reports. Analysis: It looks safe to roll with Coles, who has 11 catches over his last two games, as you normally would. | 2 days | |
| 41. | Willie Parker | (RotoWire) Offensive Coordinator Bruce Arians said Parker still has a role in the ground attack, reports the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. Analysis: Arians hinted Parker may have been involved more against the Bengals if Rashard Mendenhall hadn't received such a low number of carries (13). As well, Mewelde Moore came in on a series designated for Parker when the team decided to go no-huddle. Regardless, the starting job belongs to Mendenhall. Parker may see a few more touches if the rotation goes as planned or if the Steelers are up big in a game, but it's not enough to warrant considering him for fantasy purposes at this point. | 2 days | |
| 42. | Muhsin Muhammad | (RotoWire) Muhammad caught three passes for 27 yards in Thursday's loss to the Dolphins. Analysis: Two of the Panthers' tight ends outproduced him on Thursday night, so it appears the end of the line is drawing near for Muhammad. He could still be a viable third or fourth receiver, but his days as a starting option in the NFL will likely end this season. | 2 days | |
| 43. | 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 | |
| 44. | Coles limited Thursday | (TheHuddle) Joe Reedy, of the Cincinnati Enquirer, reports Bengals WR Laveranues Coles was limited in practice Thursday, Nov. 19, and his status for Week 11 is uncertain. Analysis: Coles is listed as having a head injury, and NFL teams have shown they're taking more precautions with those types of injuries so don't take that "uncertain" status with just a grain of salt. The match-up with a solid Oakland secondary doesn't help Coles' fantasy prospects, either. | 2 days | |
| 45. | Muhsin Muhammad killing Panthers? | (Rotoworld) Beat writer Darin Gantt believes Muhsin Muhammad's 14-year run as a productive receiver is "over." Analysis: "The Muhsin Muhammad Is Back Tour lasted one week," said Gantt after his 27-yard performance Thursday night. The Panthers desperately need to address wide receiver this offseason, and it's clear that Dwayne Jarrett is not the answer. | 2 days | |
| 46. | Steelers | Ward returns to practice Thursday | (KFFL) Pittsburgh Steelers WR Hines Ward (rest) returned for the team's practice Thursday, Nov. 19. | 3 days | |
| 47. | Bengals | Coles limited Thursday | (KFFL) Joe Reedy, of the Cincinnati Enquirer, reports Cincinnati Bengals WR Laveranues Coles (head) was limited in practice Thursday, Nov. 19, and his status for Week 11 is uncertain. | 3 days | |
| 48. | 49ers | Spikes misses practice Thursday | (KFFL) Matt Maiocco, of the Santa Rosa Press Democrat, reports San Francisco 49ers LB Takeo Spikes (hamstring) missed the team's practice Thursday, Nov. 19. He is day-to-day but is unlikely to start Week 11. | 3 days | |
| 49. | Laveranues Coles | (RotoWire) Coles was listed as limited at Thursday's practice with a head injury, the Bengals' official site reports. Analysis: Coles practiced Wednesday, so we'll have to see what details become available reagrding his status leading up to Friday's injury report. | 3 days | |
| 50. | Coles limited Thursday with head injury | (Rotoworld) Laveranues Coles was added to the Bengals injury report Thursday as limited with a head injury. Analysis: Coles is banged up, but he's not expected to miss this week's game at Oakland. While he does have 11 catches in his last two games, Coles is a weak WR3 option on Sunday. | 3 days | |
| 51. | Saints | Greer, Porter miss practice Thursday | (KFFL) Jim Flynn, of PewterReport.com, reports New Orleans Saints CB Jabari Greer (groin) and CB Tracy Porter (knee) did not practice Thursday, Nov. 19. | 3 days | |
| 52. | 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) | 3 days | |
| 53. | 49ers | Spikes misses practice Wednesday | (KFFL) Matt Maiocco, of the Santa Rosa Press Democrat, reports San Francisco 49ers LB Takeo Spikes (hamstring) missed the team's practice Wednesday, Nov. 18. | 4 days | |
| 54. | Steelers | Ward misses practice Wednesday | (KFFL) Pittsburgh Steelers WR Hines Ward (rest) missed the team's practice Wednesday, Nov. 18. | 4 days | |
| 55. | Takeo Spikes | (RotoWire) Spikes (hamstring) did not practice Wednesday, the 49ers' official site reports. Analysis: Spikes hasn't been declared out yet, but it's looking unlikely that he'll be able to suit up Sunday against Green Bay. Matt Wilhelm would start in his place. | 4 days | |
| 56. | 49ers | Spikes misses practice Wednesday | (KFFL) The Santa Rosa Press Democrat's Matt Maiocco reports San Francisco 49ers LB Takeo Spikes (hamstring) did not practice Wednesday, Nov. 18. | 4 days | |
| 57. | Saints | Four players miss practice Wednesday | (KFFL) Nakia Hogan, of the New Orleans Times-Picayune, reports New Orleans Saints C Jonathan Goodwin (knee), CB Jabari Greer (groin), TE David Thomas (knee) and CB Tracy Porter (knee) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Nov. 18. | 4 days | |
| 58. | Saints acquire McAlister | (FFChamps) The New Orleans Saints signed 10-year veteran Chris McAlister on Wednesday to add to their depth at cornerback after they've been hit with the injury bug at that position. Right cornerback Tracy Porter sprained his medial collateral ligament in his left knee against the Rams last Sunday and left corner Jabari Greer missed practice Wednesday with a pulled groin. Analysis: The McAlister is well-past his prime and it took a Saints team riddled with injuries to get his phone ringing.... (More) | 4 days | |
| 59. | Jabari Greer | (RotoWire) Greer (groin) did not practice Wednesday, the New Orleans Times-Picayune's Jeff Duncan reports. Analysis: Both Saints starting cornerbacks are nursing injuries: Greer with his pulled groin and Tracy Porter with a sprained knee. New Orleans' secondary could be vulnerable on Sunday if neither is able to play, but we should know more as the week of practice continues. | 4 days | |
| 60. | Muhammad feels he has some good years left | (TheHuddle) Charles Chandler, of the Charlotte Observer, reports Carolina Panthers WR Muhsin Muhammad is still far from ready to talk about retirement, even though he is 36 years old. Muhammad said, "I think I still have some good, good years of football in me. You get what you get with me. I'm going to be a great blocker. I'm going to catch some tough balls. I'm going to make some big plays here and there, and just go out and play with a lot of fun and enthusiasm." Muhammad said he plans to continue playing "until the wheels fall off." He added, "I'll just let my body and probably management or teams tell ... (More) | 4 days | |
| 61. | Greer hopes to play Week 11 | (TheHuddle) Nakia Hogan, of the New Orleans Times-Picayune, reports New Orleans Saints CB Jabari Greer said he hopes to play Week 11, but he couldn't be certain if he would be able to play. Analysis: Greer is dealing with a groin injury. The Saints are all kinds of banged up in the secondary; hence the signing of Chris McAlister. And if Greer can't play, they may need to throw McAlister into a significant role much sooner than expected. | 4 days | |
| 62. | Muhammad wants to keep playing | (Rotoworld) Muhsin Muhammad said he thinks he still has some years left of good football and isn't thinking about retiring. Analysis: Muhammad is flying high off his six catch, 91 yard performance last week. That was the most yards he's had since Week 4 of the 2008 season. Muhammad remains an excellent blocker but the Panthers sorely need a threat in his spot to take attention away from Steve Smith. Muhammad's contract is up after this season. | 4 days | |
| 63. | 49ers | Spikes day-to-day | (KFFL) Matt Maiocco, of the Santa Rosa Press Democrat, reports San Francisco 49ers LB Takeo Spikes (hamstring) is day-to-day, according to head coach Mike Singletary. LB Matt Wilhelm will start Week 11 if Spikes is unable to play. | 5 days | |
| 64. | Saints | Greer hopes to play Week 11 | (KFFL) Nakia Hogan, of the New Orleans Times-Picayune, reports New Orleans Saints CB Jabari Greer (groin) said he hopes to play Week 11, but he couldn't be certain if he would be able to play. | 5 days | |
| 65. | Panthers | Muhammad feels he has some good years left | (KFFL) Charles Chandler, of the Charlotte Observer, reports Carolina Panthers WR Muhsin Muhammad is still far from ready to talk about retirement, even though he is 36 years old. Muhammad said, "I think I still have some good, good years of football in me. You get what you get with me. I'm going to be a great blocker. I'm going to catch some tough balls. I'm going to make some big plays here and there, and just go out and play with a lot of fun and enthusiasm." Muhammad said he plans to continue playing "until the wheels fall off." He added, "I'll just let my body and probably management or teams tell me... (More) | 5 days | |
| 66. | Jabari Greer, Sedrick Ellis not due back | (Rotoworld) Saints LCB Jabari Greer (groin) and DT Sedrick Ellis (knee) are not expected to play in Week 11, according to NFL.com's Jason La Canfora. Analysis: They should both return in Week 12. New Orleans has been getting gashed by the run since Ellis went down in Week 7. Greer, the team's No. 1 corner, will be replaced in the starting lineup again by nickel back Randall Gay. | 5 days | |
| 67. | Spikes day to day with hamstring injury | (Rotoworld) 49ers LB Takeo Spikes is considered "day to day" after leaving last Thursday's game with a hamstring injury. Analysis: Veteran Matt Wilhelm played well in Spikes' place late in the game and would get the start at "Ted" linebacker if Spikes can't play this week. | 5 days | |
| 68. | Steelers | Parker to see action every third series | (KFFL) Ed Bouchette, of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, reports Pittsburgh Steelers RB Willie Parker will likely be utilized every third series at least on offense for the time being. "Get back to work every third series,'' Parker said of the plan. "I just have to do something." Parker said he is over his toe injury, although he will continue to wear the special Nike shoes built for him the rest of the season. "I'm ready to get on that field now. It's just a matter of time. I'm waiting patiently. I'm waiting and, when my time comes, my number is called, I have to make the best of it." | 5 days | |
| 69. | Laveranues Coles | (RotoWire) For the second week in a row, Coles led the Bengals in catches and receiving yards in Sunday's win over the Steelers, hauling in five passes for 67 yards. Analysis: Given the slugfest nature of this game, the relatively low output isn't much of a concern. Many of Coles' receptions were key plays that moved the chains for the Bengals. | 5 days | |
| 70. | Coach Smith says Bears still a running t... | (Rotoworld) Coach Lovie Smith said Monday that he's going to stay committed to the run and that the Bears are still a running team. Analysis: It's really hard to believe Smith at this point. The Bears have run the ball 240 times and passed it 340 times this season while ranking 30th in the league in rushing. This Bears offensive line is not built to run the ball and the Eagles secondary is very banged up right now. Expect another pass heavy attack this week. | 5 days | |
| 71. | Parker plays just two downs against Cinc... | (Rotoworld) Willie Parker played just two downs against the Bengals Sunday. Analysis: He played just one down the previous week against Denver. Parker is obviously no threat to Rashard Mendenhall's starting job. | 6 days | |
| 72. | Welker racks up 94 yards in Week 10 loss | (Rotoworld) Wes Welker caught nine passes for 94 yards in Week 10. Analysis: Welker was again a major player in the Patriots' short passing game. He also made waves returning punts, scampering for 69 yards on a return at the end of the third quarter and tallying 117 return yards overall. The speedy slot receiver remains a stellar option in all fantasy leagues. | 7 days |
