| 1. | Aaron Rodgers throws for 344 yds, two sc... | (Rotoworld) Aaron Rodgers completed 32 of a season-high 45 passes for 344 yards and two touchdowns in the Packers' 30-24 win over San Francisco in Week 11. Analysis: Rodgers shredded San Francisco for for his seventh multi-touchdown game in the last eight weeks. Most promisingly, the Packers protected Rodgers well (he took only two sacks), allowing him to take more vertical shots. On his second-quarter touchdown to Greg Jennings, Rodgers operated from the shotgun to hit Jennings over the middle and watch him do the rest of the work down the seams. Rodgers has another highly favorable matchup at Detroit in Week 12. | 26 minutes | |
| 2. | Winslow catches five for 29 | (Rotoworld) Kellen Winslow caught five balls for 29 yards in Week 11. Analysis: The final numbers are uninspiring, but Winslow's team-high target total (13) was. Josh Freeman had his first truly bad NFL performance, limiting all of his pass catchers' stats. Keep Winslow going at Atlanta in Week 12. | 49 minutes | |
| 3. | Sims-Walker nets 91 yards, TD in win | (Rotoworld) Mike Sims-Walker snagged eight passes for 91 yards and a touchdown in Week 11 against the Bills. Analysis: Sims-Walker enjoyed another fine fantasy day as David Garrard's go-to receiver. He caught multiple third down passes and grabbed a game-winning three-yard touchdown with less than a minute to go in the fourth quarter. | 49 minutes | |
| 4. | Jones-Drew nets 84 yards, TD in Week 11 ... | (Rotoworld) Maurice Jones-Drew rushed 25 times for 66 yards and a touchdown and caught for passes for 18 yards Sunday as the Jaguars topped the Bills 18-15. Analysis: The Jags pounded the ball with Jones-Drew for most of the day, as expected. He had trouble breaking free, but still netted 84 yards and managed to find pay dirt on three-yard scamper in the second quarter. He remains a top fantasy play heading into next week's matchup with the 49ers. | 1 hour | |
| 5. | Sims-Walker injured in fourth quarter Su... | (Rotoworld) Mike Sims-Walker suffered an injury in the fourth quarter Sunday. Analysis: He was able to walk off the field under his own power and later returned. | 1 hour | |
| 6. | Patriots inactives for Week 11 | (FFChamps) The New England Patriots have announced the following players as inactive for today's game against the New York Jets: RB Sammy Morris, RB Fred Taylor, T Matt Light, DE Jarvis Green, WR Sam Aiken, DE Rob Ninkovich, CB Shawn Springs and G Stephen Neal. Analysis: Morris and Taylor continue to be sidelined, so Laurence Maroney and Kevin Faulk will split carries in the Patriots backfield against the Jets. Sam Aiken is also inactive, so look for more targets for Julian Edelman for Tom... (More) | 2 hours | |
| 7. | Colts inactives for Week 11 | (FFChamps) The Indianapolis Colts have announced the following players as inactive for today's game against the Baltimore Ravens: QB Jim Sorgi, K Adam Vinatieri, WR Anthony Gonzalez, CB Kelvin Hayden, RB Mike Hart, DB Aaron Francisco, G Mike Pollak and TE Gijon Robinson. Analysis: Matt Stover will continue the kicking duties for the Colts; while rookie receivers Pierre Garcon (who was questionable) and Austin Collie will get a fair amount of targets against the Baltimore defense. | 5 hours | |
| 8. | Roddy White active Sunday against the Gi... | (Rotoworld) Roddy White is active Sunday against the Giants, as expected. Analysis: White was listed as questionable on the injury report coming in, but hasn't missed a game in his five-year career. The Giants have struggled badly to cover No. 1 receivers of late, so White is a high-quality WR1 play on Sunday. | 5 hours | |
| 9. | Falcons | White to play against New York | (KFFL) ESPN reports Atlanta Falcons WR Roddy White (knee) will play during Week 11 versus the New York Giants. | 5 hours | |
| 10. | Falcons' White will play on Sunday @ NYG | (Rotoworld) Roddy White (questionable, knee) will play on Sunday when the Falcons take on the Giants in the Meadowlands. Analysis: White has been listed as questionable for the past three weeks and hasn't missed a game. He'll start against a struggling Giants' defense coming off their bye week while getting CB Aaron Ross back. | 8 hours | |
| 11. | 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 d... (More) | 19 hours | |
| 12. | Raiders | Bush to start in Week 11 | (KFFL) David White, of the San Francisco Chronicle, reports Oakland Raiders RB Michael Bush will remain the team's starting running back in Week 11. However, head coach Tom Cable is expected to go with the hot hand in a rotation with RBs Darren McFadden and Justin Fargas. | 1 day | |
| 13. | 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. | 1 day | |
| 14. | 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) | 1 day | |
| 15. | Stroud ruled out for Week 11 | (FFChamps) Buffalo Bills' defensive tackle Marcus Stroud (knee) has been ruled out for the team's Week 11 matchup with the Jacksonville Jaguars. Analysis: Buffalo has the worst run defense in the league. Stroud is Buffalo's best run-stopper. Maurice Jones-Drew scores touchdowns whenever he wants to. He plays the Bills this weekend. How do you see this story ending? MJD was our No. 1 fantasy play at running back this weekend whether the big fella in the middle for the Bills played or not, but without Stroud clogging the lanes, Jones-Drew will probably... (More) | 1 day | |
| 16. | Morris questionable | (FFChamps) Speaking to reporters from the Boston Globe today, New England Patriots' running back Sammy Morris said he felt "Sore, but good" and that he was taking his knee injury "day by day." Morris is listed as questionable to face the Jets this Sunday, and has not played since injuring the knee in Week 6. Analysis: The Patriots' are almost comically evasive about disclosing their players' injuries and status for upcoming games. Add in coach Bill Belichick's propensity to shuffle his backs around as the game dictates, and predicting which running back will reap the rewards of The Hoodie's ... (More) | 1 day | |
| 17. | Sammy Morris feels 'good' for Sunday | (FFToolbox) The New England Patriots' backfield is about to get a little more muddled. With injuries sidelining Sammy Morris and Fred Taylor for the past month, it was clear that Laurence Maroney was the team's No. 1 back, with Kevin Faulk pitching in. Last week, Maroney fumbled near the goal line against the Colts and that led to more carries for Faulk. Now it looks as if Morris is ready to return from his Oct. 18 knee injury. Morris participated in a full week of practices for the first... (More) | 1 day | |
| 18. | Bush to start against Bengals | (FFChamps) Oakland Raiders' head coach Tom Cable announced that Michael Bush would get the nod as the team's starting tailback against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 11. Analysis: Bush topped the century mark last weekend, which pretty much nobody in the fantasy football world forecasted (a stray touchdown, perhaps...but Bush is not known for piling up the yards, even against matador defensive fronts like the Chiefs). And while Bush may be the starter this Sunday against Cincinnati, it's nearly impossible to predict which Raider back will prosper...if any. Cincinnati's defense is number two in the league agai... (More) | 1 day | |
| 19. | Falcons' Michael Turner doubtful; Roddy White, Jerious Norwood questionable | (FFToolbox) Three of the Atlanta Falcons' more critical offensive skill players are at least questionable to play Sunday against the New York Giants. Running back Michael Turner is the most unlikely of the three to participate. He has not practiced since suffering a high right ankle sprain last Sunday and is listed as doubtful. Jason Snelling is expected to start in his place. Fellow backup running back Jerious Norwood was reportedly a "long shot" to play earlier in the week, but he pract... (More) | 1 day | |
| 20. | Colts | Gonzalez out for Week 11 | (KFFL) Indianapolis Colts WR Anthony Gonzalez (knee) did not participate in practice Friday, Nov. 20. He has been ruled out for Week 11. | 1 day | |
| 21. | Buccaneers | Winslow to play Week 11 | (KFFL) Updating a previous report, Roy Cummings, of The Tampa Tribune, reports Tampa Bay Buccaneers TE Kellen Winslow (knee) will be able to play in Week 11. | 1 day | |
| 22. | Maurice Jones-Drew | (RotoWire) Jones-Drew gets a great matchup this week against the Bills, who rank last in the NFL in run defense. Analysis: Not that you really need an excuse to start Jones-Drew, but this game has as much potential as Tennessee's Chris Johnson had heading into the Week 10 matchup against the Bills. They have several defensive starters out, including Marcus Stroud, and have been getting shredded by the run all season. | 2 days | |
| 23. | Giants | Manning probable for Week 11 | (KFFL) Ralph Vacchiano, of the New York Daily News, reports New York Giants QB Eli Manning (foot) fully participated in practice Friday, Nov. 20. He is listed as probable for Week 11 and will be able to play. | 2 days | |
| 24. | Giants | Manning probable for Week 11 | (KFFL) Ralph Vacchiano, of the New York Daily News, reports New York Giants QB Eli Manning (foot) fully participated in practice Friday, Nov. 20. He is listed as questionable for Week 11 and will be able to play. | 2 days | |
| 25. | Kellen Winslow | (RotoWire) Winslow (knee) is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Saints, the Saint Petersburg Times reports. Analysis: Winslow, who matched his season-high with 102 receiving yards against Miami in Week 10, is safe to roll with again Sunday versus the Saints. | 2 days | |
| 26. | Roddy White | (RotoWire) White (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants, the New York Daily News' Ralph Vacchiano reports. Analysis: The questionable tag has become a weekly trend for White, but he's played the last two weeks and we aren't overly concerned about his Week 11 status. We don't want you to get burned, however, so check back Sunday morning to verify White's availability. | 2 days | |
| 27. | Roddy White questionable again | (Rotoworld) Roddy White (knee) is listed as questionable for Week 11, but is fully expected to play against the Giants. Analysis: White's been "questionable" for three weeks running, but hasn't missed a game. He'll start against a Giants club that struggles to stop No. 1 wideouts. | 2 days | |
| 28. | Eli Manning | (RotoWire) Manning (foot) is listed as probable for Sunday's game against Atlanta, the Newark Star-Ledger reports. Analysis: Manning's foot may be healthier than it's been since the initial injury, and he has a terrific matchup against the Falcons' struggling pass defense. | 2 days | |
| 29. | Falcons | White questionable for Week 11 | (KFFL) D. Orlando Ledbetter, of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, reports Atlanta Falcons WR Roddy White (knee) was limited during practice Friday, Nov. 20. He is listed as questionable for Week 11 but will be able to play. | 2 days | |
| 30. | Winslow all systems go | (Rotoworld) Kellen Winslow (probable, knee) fully participated in Friday's practice. Analysis: Winslow is all systems go for a Week 11 matchup that could turn into a pass-heavy affair against New Orleans. He's a high-quality TE1 play this week. | 2 days | |
| 31. | Buccaneers | Winslow probable for Week 11 | (KFFL) Charlie Campbell and Jim Flynn, of PewterReport.com, report Tampa Bay Buccaneers TE Kellen Winslow (knee) participated in practice Friday, Nov. 20. He is listed as probable for Week 11. | 2 days | |
| 32. | Report: Anthony Gonzalez may return Week... | (Rotoworld) NFL.com's Jason La Canfora reports that Anthony Gonzalez has a "chance" to return in Week 12 against the Texans. Analysis: La Canfora confirms the obvious -- that Gonzo won't play Sunday against the Ravens -- but says he is "expected" to resume practicing next week. Gonzalez would be just three weeks removed from knee surgery in Week 12, so the Colts definitely wouldn't immediately reinsert him into the starting lineup. We'd bet heavily against him helping anyone in the fantasy playoffs as well. | 2 days | |
| 33. | Anthony Gonzalez | (RotoWire) Gonzalez (knee) says he's making progress and could return after a couple of games, the Indianapolis Star reports. Analysis: After spraining a PCL ligament in his right knee in Week 1, Gonzalez had a setback and underwent arthroscopic surgery on his right knee on Nov. 6. It sounds like Gonzalez believes he can return this season, but fantasy owners shouldn't count on him playing again. It's not clear what role he'd have if he returned with the development of Austin Collie and Pierre Garcon. | 2 days | |
| 34. | Colts | Gonzalez believes he is close to returning | (KFFL) Mike Chappell, of The Indianapolis Star, reports Indianapolis Colts WR Anthony Gonzalez (knee) said he believes he is close to returning to the lineup. | 2 days | |
| 35. | Gonzalez expected to miss two more games | (Rotoworld) Though Anthony Gonzalez insists he's close to returning from arthroscopic surgery on his right knee, he's expected to miss at least two more games. Analysis: "I felt like I was close the last time," Gonzalez said. "So in that sense, it's a little hard to say. I do feel the 'scope I had helped a lot." Gonzalez did not offer a return date, though, and the Colts have yet to set a timetable. With Pierre Garcon and Austin Collie playing, Gonzalez has not been missed this season. The Colts have no reason to rush him back. | 2 days | |
| 36. | Maurice Jones-Drew | (RotoWire) Jones-Drew, in the wake of the last-second kneel-down that cost thousands of fantasy owners their games on Sunday, has promised to score more to make up for his fantasy misdeed, according to ESPN.com. Analysis: Jones-Drew noted that "you should tell those 10,000 (the approximate number of ESPN players who lost their fantasy games last week due to Jones-Drew not scoring that final touchdown)) I will score next time." | 2 days | |
| 37. | Roddy White returns to limited practice | (Rotoworld) Roddy White (knee) returned to a limited practice Thursday. Analysis: White has missed practice time the past two weeks, but the knee soreness hasn't affected him in game action. We have him ranked as the No. 6 fantasy WR this week in a matchup with the Giants. | 2 days | |
| 38. | Falcons | White limited Thursday | (KFFL) D. Orlando Ledbetter, of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, reports Atlanta Falcons WR Roddy White (knee) was limited in practice Thursday, Nov. 19, but is likely to play in Week 11. | 2 days | |
| 39. | Kellen Winslow | (RotoWire) Winslow (knee) returned to full participation at practice Thursday after being limited Wednesday, the St. Petersburg Times reports. Analysis: It looks like Winslow, who has 42 catches for 454 yards and five TDs through nine games, will be fine for Sunday's game against the Saints. | 3 days | |
| 40. | Winslow upgraded to full participation | (Rotoworld) Kellen Winslow (knee) was upgraded to full participation in Thursday's practice. Analysis: Winslow is healthy and will start against the Saints this week. With Antonio Bryant likely returning to the lineup, he'll have competition as Josh Freeman's go-to target. | 3 days | |
| 41. | Buccaneers | Winslow practices in full Thursday | (KFFL) Jim Flynn, of PewterReport.com, reports Tampa Bay Buccaneers TE Kellen Winslow (knee) practiced in full Thursday, Nov. 19. | 3 days | |
| 42. | Giants | Manning practices Thursday | (KFFL) Ralph Vacchiano, of the New York Daily News, reports New York Giants QB Eli Manning (foot) fully participated in practice Thursday, Nov. 19. He is expected to play in Week 11. | 3 days | |
| 43. | Buccaneers | Winslow limited Wednesday | (KFFL) Tampa Bay Buccaneers TE Kellen Winslow (knee) was limited during the team's practice Wednesday, Nov. 18. | 3 days | |
| 44. | Colts | Gonzalez misses practice Wednesday | (KFFL) Indianapolis Colts WR Anthony Gonzalez (knee) missed the team's practice Wednesday, Nov. 18. | 3 days | |
| 45. | Falcons | R. White misses practice Wednesday | (KFFL) Atlanta Falcons WR Roddy White (knee) missed the team's practice Wednesday, Nov. 18. | 3 days | |
| 46. | Winslow misses practice | (Rotoworld) Kellen Winslow (knee) was limited in Bucs practice Wednesday. Analysis: Winslow probably just got a late-season workday off. He is coming off a seven-catch, 102-yard thrashing of the Dolphins and should play in Week 11. | 3 days | |
| 47. | Anthony Gonzalez | (RotoWire) Gonzalez (knee) did not participate in Wednesday's practice, the team's official web site reports. Analysis: He underwent arthroscopic surgery on his right knee on Nov. 6 and was expected to miss an additional two to three weeks, but there's been no sign of his return. With the Colts likely clinching a playoff spot early, there's no reason to rush him back ... and it's still possible he may not return at all this season. | 3 days | |
| 48. | Kellen Winslow | (RotoWire) Winslow (knee) was limited at practice Wednesday, the St. Petersburg Times reports. Analysis: More on Winslow in the coming days, but so far there's been nothing to suggest that his Week 11 availability is in any doubt. | 4 days | |
| 49. | Roddy White | (RotoWire) White (knee) did not practice Wednesday, the Falcons' official site reports. Analysis: White has either been held out or limited the past two Wednesdays, but managed to play both times. Look for a similar situation to unfold this week. | 4 days | |
| 50. | Eli Manning | (RotoWire) Manning (foot) participated fully in practice Wednesday. Analysis: Count this as just another sign that Manning's foot is feeling better than it has in a while. He basically has a clean bill of health heading into Sunday's matchup with the Falcons, a game rife with NFC playoff implications. | 4 days | |
| 51. | Giants | Manning practices in full Wednesday | (KFFL) Mike Garafolo, of The Star-Ledger, reports New York Giants QB Eli Manning (foot) practiced in full Wednesday, Nov. 18. | 4 days | |
| 52. | Roddy White misses practice | (Rotoworld) Roddy White (knee) was held out of Falcons practice Wednesday. Analysis: White has been routinely been limited or held out of practice lately, but the alleged knee injury didn't affect his Week 10 numbers. He had 98 yards on seven catches against a Carolina pass defense that ranks No. 4 in the NFL. | 4 days | |
| 53. | Raiders | McFadden not an option to return kicks | (KFFL) Jerry McDonald, of ANG Newspapers, reports Oakland Raiders RB Darren McFadden will not be used as a kick returner, according to head coach Tom Cable, despite having success in that role in college. | 4 days | |
| 54. | Morgan officially named starter | (Rotoworld) 49ers coach Mike Singletary has officially named Josh Morgan his starting flanker. Analysis: Morgan has started the last two games ahead of Isaac Bruce, so this isn't exactly huge news. In those two starts, Morgan has caught five passes for just 33 yards. He has a lot of talent but he's really the fourth option here at best. Let someone else pick him up. | 4 days | |
| 55. | Manning says again that foot is fine | (Rotoworld) Eli Manning re-iterated that the foot injury that bothered him early in the season is a non-issue as the Giants come out of their bye. Analysis: "That injury I think is kind of over and done with," Manning said. "A week off and not practicing and not putting any pressure on the body or the arm definitely helps, refreshes the whole body." Manning is more of a QB2 even in a plus matchup with the Falcons this week. | 5 days | |
| 56. | Josh Morgan | (RotoWire) Morgan will once again be a starting wide receiver for the 49ers, replacing Isaac Bruce opposite Michael Crabtree, the San Francisco Chronicle reports. Analysis: Morgan initially went to the bench when Crabtree was finally signed, but Bruce has been enough of a disappointment to warrant Morgan's insertion back into the starting job. However, he remains a questionable fantasy start because of his slot in the receiving options behind Vernon Davis, Crabtree and Frank Gore. | 5 days | |
| 57. | Mason Crosby | (RotoWire) Crosby was 1-for-2 on field goals and 2-for-2 on extra points in Sunday's win over the Cowboys. Analysis: Crosby pushed a 52-yarder to the left but rebounded by drilling a 48-yard attempt before halftime. He's still one of the top fantasy kickers available. | 5 days | |
| 58. | Aaron Rodgers | (RotoWire) Rodgers completed 25 of 36 passes for 189 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's win over the Cowboys. He also ran for 15 yards and a touchdown. Analysis: The Cowboys generated a lot of pressure as expected, but the Packers largely negated the rush with a heavy dose of three-step drops and short throws. It helped Rodgers stay upright, but it didn't do much for his fantasy numbers in a game that was 3-0 entering the fourth quarter. It was just the second time all year Rodgers was held under 245 yards passing. | 5 days | |
| 59. | Dustin Keller | (RotoWire) Keller had six catches for 58 yards in Sunday's loss to the Jaguars. Analysis: Keller's 38.6 yards per game are 17th in the league among tight ends, but on the plus side, he been more involved in the Jets' last two games, combining for 14 catches. | 6 days | |
| 60. | Darren McFadden | (RotoWire) McFadden (knee) returned to action on Sunday but had just four carries for 11 yards in the Raiders' loss to the Chiefs. Analysis: Fellow running backs Michael Bush and Justin Fargas both must have sensed that they could lose some playing time with McFadden back in action, because both of them played well against the Chiefs -- Bush ran for over 100 yards and Fargas scored a touchdown in his second straight game. Expect the Raiders to continue rotating their running backs in some fashion over the next few weeks. | 6 days | |
| 61. | MJD first to top 100 on Rex Ryan since 2... | (Rotoworld) With 123 yards Sunday, Maurice Jones-Drew became the first running back to top 100 rushing yards against a Rex Ryan defense since Larry Johnson accomplished the feat in 2006. Analysis: Much of that can be attributed to the loss of NT Kris Jenkins (ACL), but Jones-Drew is enjoying an excellent season. He leads the league with 12 touchdowns while averaging 120 yards per game and 5.1 yards per carry in his first stint as the Jags' every-down back. | 6 days | |
| 62. | Raiders | McFadden quiet in return | (KFFL) Jerry McDonald, of ANG Newspapers, reports Oakland Raiders RB Darren McFadden (knee) had 11 yards rushing on four carries in his return to action in Week 10. | 6 days | |
| 63. | Faulk nets 86 total yards in Week 10 los... | (Rotoworld) Kevin Faulk ran 12 times for 79 yards and caught two passes for seven yards in Week 10 against the Colts. Analysis: Faulk and Laurence Maroney split the load in Indianapolis while Sammy Morris and Fred Taylor nursed injuries. Faulk ran hard and effectively but is still buried in a running back rotation and has little fantasy value. | 6 days | |
| 64. | Jones-Drew scores Week 10 | (TheHuddle) The Associated Press reports Jacksonville Jaguars RB Maurice Jones-Drew had 24 carries for 123 yards with a touchdown Week 10. He also caught two passes for 22 receiving yards. He almost scored another touchdown, but instead took a knee at the 1-yard line with just over a minute left in the game against the New York Jets. QB David Garrard took a knee on the next two plays, and PK Josh Scobee hit the game-winning 21-yard field goal as time expired. Jones-Drew became the first player to rush for 100 or more yards against the Jets this season. Analysis: Ouch! Jones-Drew took a knee on the 1-yard l... (More) | 6 days | |
| 65. | Jones-Drew apologizes to fantasy owners | (Rotoworld) Maurice Jones-Drew apologized to his fantasy football owners for kneeling down at the one-yard line at the end of Sunday's win. Analysis: "To my fantasy owners, I apologize," Jones-Drew said. "I have myself today, so it was a tough call. But whatever it takes for a victory, that's all that counts." The kneel-down essentially clinched the win for Jacksonville, much like MoJo's 630 total yards and seven TDs in the past four games have likely clinched victories for his fantasy owners over the last month. | 6 days | |
| 66. | Revis shadows Sims-Walker in second half | (Rotoworld) The Jets adjusted at halftime of Sunday's loss to the Jaguars, assigning Darrelle Revis to exclusively cover Mike Sims-Walker. Analysis: Rex Ryan cost himself 40 yards and seven points by not employing the strategy in the first half. Sims-Walker was held to nine yards in the final two quarters after beating Lito Sheppard for his 26-yard touchdown in the second quarter and Dwight Lowery for his 14-yard first-quarter reception. | 6 days | |
| 67. | Darren Sproles | (RotoWire) Sproles had just six touches in Sunday's 31-23 win over Philadelphia, producing 45 yards. Analysis: LaDainian Tomlinson had a solid game on Sunday, running for 96 yards and scoring twice. However, Sproles is more elusive and electrifying than Tomlinson in general at this stage of their careers. Sproles is being paid too well to just return kickoffs and punts, but that is essentially his role at this point. | 6 days | |
| 68. | McFadden's return unremarkable | (FFChamps) In his first game back from knee surgery, Oakland Raiders' running back Darren McFadden had only four carries for 11 yards. Analysis: Michael Bush ran for over 100 yards, and Justin Fargas scored a touchdown...yet many thought that McFadden would be the Raider back to shine against the Chiefs today. Oops. McFadden appears a few weeks away from a significant workload, and owners have to wonder if a tripod time share is in order by the Bay for the rest of 2009. | 6 days | |
| 69. | Packers | Rodgers solid in Week 10 | (KFFL) The Associated Press reports Green Bay Packers QB Aaron Rodgers went 25-for-36 for 189 yards and one touchdown in Week 10. He also rushed for 15 yards and one touchdown on five carries. | 6 days | |
| 70. | McFadden used sparingly in Raiders' loss | (Rotoworld) Darren McFadden rushed just four times for 11 yards in the Raiders' loss to the Chiefs. Analysis: McFadden was used sparingly in his first game coming off knee surgery. Perhaps Oakland's coaches weren't impressed with his pregame warmups, as Michael Bush started the game with Justin Fargas coming in for relief. It will take a couple of weeks for McFadden to get back in the groove. | 6 days | |
| 71. | Rodgers runs for TD, throws one in clutc... | (Rotoworld) Aaron Rodgers completed 25-of-36 passes for 189 yards and a touchdown, and scrambled four times for 16 yards and another score as Green Bay knocked off the Cowboys 17-7 in Week 10. Analysis: Rodgers took for more sacks, but avoided turnovers and made clutch plays in a much-needed win for Green Bay. The rushing score was Rodgers' third of 2009, and he'll still be the No. 1 overall fantasy QB when Week 11 opens. The Packers didn't take many risks downfield, but played dominating defense and resilient offense. They host San Francisco next Sunday. | 6 days | |
| 72. | Maurice Jones-Drew | (RotoWire) Jones-Drew (knee) rushed for 123 yards and scored a touchdown in Sunday's 24-22 win over the Jets. Jones-Drew added two receptions for 22 yards. Analysis: Jones-Drew produced like he always does, but he could have had a monster game. He fumbled inside the five-yard line in the third quarter and then went down intentionally at the one-yard line, a la Brian Westbrook, in the final two minutes to kill the rest of the clock and set up the game-winning field goal with no time left. If Jones-Drew had scored, as he easily could have, the Jets would have had over 90 seconds to try and tie or win the game with a touchdown. Instead, he made the smart play and went down t...

| 73. | Colts inactives for Week 10 | (FFChamps) The Indianapolis Colts have announced the following players as inactive for today's game against the New England Patriots: QB Jim Sorgi, K Adam Vinatieri, WR Anthony Gonzalez, CB Kelvin Hayden, DB Aaron Francisco, T Tony Ugoh, G Mike Pollak and TE Tom Santi. Analysis: Rookies Pierre Garcon and Austin Collie will get their first taste of the big rivalry between the Colts and Pats. They will continue to start in place Gonzalez. Matt Stover will kick again for the Colts, replacing ... (More) | 6 days | |
| 74. | Sproles reduced to a strict third-down r... | (Rotoworld) Darren Sproles rushed two times for 14 yards and caught four passes for 31 yards in Sunday's win over the Eagles. Analysis: LaDainian Tomlinson ran effectively and Sproles is a complete afterthought in the running game. Sproles isn't even an option in PPR leagues anymore as he has just 114 total yards in his last three games. | 6 days | |
| 75. | Gonzalez among Colts' Sunday night inact... | (Rotoworld) Cotls declared WR Anthony Gonzalez, K Adam Vinatieri, QB Jim Sorgi, CB Kelvin Hayden, S Aaron Francisco, OG Tony Ugoh, OG Mike Pollak and TE Tom Santi inactive for Week 10 against the Patriots. Analysis: Pierre Garcon will again start at flanker for the Colts. Gonzalez (knee) might not be ready to contribute until Week 12 or 13. | 6 days | |
| 76. | Tony Scheffler | (RotoWire) Scheffler had four catches for 29 yards on Sunday against Washington. Analysis: Scheffler has only had one solid fantasy game this season and continues to be a questionable start from the tight end position. | 6 days | |
| 77. | Kellen Winslow | (RotoWire) Though didn't find the end zone Sunday versus the Dolphins, Winslow nevertheless had a big game as he caught seven passes for 102 yards. Analysis: This was Winslow's second 100-yard receiving game this season. Winslow, who was targeted 11 times Sunday, appears to have some nice chemistry with Buccaneers' quarterback Josh Freeman, which bodes well for his fantasy prospects the rest of the season. | 6 days | |
| 78. | Jaguars | Jones-Drew scores Week 10 | (KFFL) The Associated Press reports Jacksonville Jaguars RB Maurice Jones-Drew had 24 carries for 123 yards with a touchdown Week 10. He also caught two passes for 22 receiving yards. He almost scored another touchdown, but instead took a knee at the 1-yard line with just over a minute left in the game against the New York Jets. QB David Garrard took a knee on the next two plays, and PK Josh Scobee hit the game-winning 21-yard field goal as time expired. Jones-Drew became the first player to rush for 100 or more yards against the Jets this season. | 6 days | |
| 79. | Rodd White totals 98 yards in loss | (Rotoworld) Roddy White caught seven passes for 98 yards against the Panthers in Week 10. Analysis: White started slowly, but he benefited from the move to a pass-heavy approach after Michael Turner (ankle sprain) left the game late in the second quarter. He was targeted 11 times and was brought down shy of the goal-line on one reception. White has a score or 90+ yards in five of his last six games with a slumping Matt Ryan. | 6 days | |
| 80. | Roddy White | (RotoWire) White (knee) caught a game-high seven passes for 98 yards in Sunday's 28-19 loss at Carolina. Analysis: White was coming off his worst statistical game of the season, so this was certainly a nice bounce-back performance, especially against a team that has been strong versus the pass all season. Michael Turner left the game with an ankle injury, and while Jason Snelling was productive in his absence, Atlanta may have to lean on Matt Ryan, White and the passing game a bit more if Turner is forced to miss time. | 6 days | |
| 81. | Orton hurts ankle | (FFChamps) Broncos quarterback Kyle Orton did not play the second half of their game against the Redskins and was seen on the sidelines with his left ankle heavily taped. He was tackled on a third-down quarterback scramble before the first half ended and limped off the field. Chris Simms replaced Orton and completed three of 13 passes for thirteen yards and one interception. Analysis: Say it together with us, Orton and Brandon Marshall owners, ARGH! Orton was having a great day before he g... (More) | 7 days | |
| 82. | Kellen Winslow has 102 yards in losing e... | (Rotoworld) Kellen Winslow caught seven balls for 102 yards in the Bucs' Week 10 loss to the Dolphins. Analysis: Winslow now has 11 catches for 159 yards and a touchdown in Josh Freeman's two starts. K2 was nowhere to be found in the first half, but came on in the final two quarters when the Bucs moved to a pass-heavy offense. Winslow's been up and down all year, but is on track to finish as a top-ten fantasy tight end with five scores, 42 catches, and 454 yards through nine games. | 7 days | |
| 83. | MJD scores once, passes up second TD lat... | (Rotoworld) Maurice Jones-Drew rushed 23 times for 123 yards and one touchdown in Week 10 against the Jets, passing up a second score in the fourth quarter to burn clock before a last-second field goal attempt. Analysis: Much like Brian Westbrook two years ago Jones-Drew slid to a stop at the one-yard line rather than go in for a touchdown that would have left the Jets with time for a comeback. The big difference is that the Jaguars still trailed by one point at the time, leaving it up to Josh Scobee to nail a chip-shot for the win. His fantasy owners don't have a whole lot of room to complain, because MJD now has 630 total ... (More) | 7 days | |
| 84. | Sims-Walker catches TD in Week 10 win | (Rotoworld) Mike Sims-Walker caught three passes for 49 yards and one touchdown in Week 10 against the Jets. Analysis: Sims-Walker turned a quick slant into a 26-yard touchdown in the second quarter, busting through a pair of tackles. Ignoring his healthy scratch for missing bed check in Week 5, he now has 603 yards and five touchdowns on 39 grabs over his past seven games. | 7 days | |
| 85. | Scheffler catches four balls | (Rotoworld) Tony Scheffler caught four passes for 29 yards in Week 10. Analysis: The Redskins continue to hold tight ends in check. Scheffler hasn't topped 30 yards in his last three games, but a Week 11 matchup against a San Diego team that he routinely dominates will make him worth low-end TE1 consideration. Scheffler had 101 yards and a touchdown in their last meeting. | 7 days | |
| 86. | Thomas catches 4 passes for 46 yards | (Rotoworld) Mike Thomas caught four passes for 46 yards in Week 10 against the Jets. Analysis: Thomas has had at least four catches in four of the past six games, with a pair of clunkers mixed in. | 7 days | |
| 87. | Keller catches 6 passes for 58 yards | (Rotoworld) Dustin Keller caught six passes for 58 yards in Week 10 against the Jaguars. Analysis: Keller had a big first half before giving way to Braylon Edwards after halftime, but now has 13 catches in the past two games while showing an increasingly good rapport with rookie Mark Sanchez. | 7 days | |
| 88. | Raiders inactives for Week 10 | (FFChamps) The Oakland Raiders have announced the following players as inactive for today's game against the Kansas City Chiefs: OLB Ricky Brown, WR Nick Miller, QB Charlie Frye, DE Greg Ellis, WR Todd Watkins, T Erik Pears, T Khalif Barnes, and WR Javon Walker. Analysis: Chaz Schilens is finally active and will play but unfortunately, he has JaMarcus Russell throwing him the ball. Darren McFadden also returns to the active list, and should split carries with Justin Fargas. | 7 days | |
| 89. | McFadden active for Week 10 game vs. KC | (Rotoworld) Darren McFadden is active for the Raiders' Week 10 matchup with the Chiefs. Analysis: McFadden may or may not start, as he is coming off in-season knee surgery. He hasn't played since Week 4 against the Texans. Look for Justin Fargas to get most of the work out of the backfield. | 7 days | |
| 90. | Jaguars inactives for Week 10 | (FFChamps) The Jacksonville Jaguars have announced the following players as inactive for today's game against the New York Jets: WR Tiquan Underwood, SAF Courtney Greene, SS Gerald Alexander, DT Derek Landri, DE Greg Peterson, G Maurice Williams, TE Ernest Wilford, and LB Adam Seward. Analysis: There are no major surprises on the Jaguars inactives list. Maurice Jones-Drew showed up on the injury report earlier in the week with a knee injury but was listed probable and was not hampered by it in practice. He is active and is safe to start against the J... (More) | 7 days | |
| 91. | Roddy White active, will start vs. Panth... | (Rotoworld) Roddy White (knee) is active and will start against the Panthers Sunday, as expected. Analysis: Left tackle Sam Baker (ankle) will be replaced by Will Svitek, and Troy Bergeron is filling in for Brian Finneran. Other inactives: RB Jerious Norwood, QB John Parker Wilson, S Charlie Peprah, LB Spencer Adkins, OT Garrett Reynolds, and DL Trey Lewis. | 7 days | |
| 92. | Reports: Roddy White will face the Panth... | (Rotoworld) NFL Network's Jason La Canfora has joined ESPN's Adam Schefter in reporting that Roddy White will play Sunday against Carolina despite being listed as questionable on the injury report with a knee problem. Analysis: Schefter had the original report, and the NFL Network's bottom line is now streaming La Canfora's. White should be very close to 100 percent, as he made it through all of the Falcons' Week 9 win over Washington and didn't appear to have much trouble separating. He's a borderline WR1 at sunny Carolina. | 7 days |
