|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1. | Malcom Floyd | (RotoWire) Floyd had four receptions for 38 yards but did not score a touchdown on Sunday at Denver. Analysis: This is exactly the type of production you can expect from Floyd on a weekly basis. There will be some weeks where he takes one of those cathces for a score, but expecting any significant numbers from him is simply not prudent at this point. | 1 hour | |
| 2. | Warner confident he will play in Week 12 | (TheHuddle) Updating a previous item, The Arizona Republic reports Arizona Cardinals QB Kurt Warner (head) is confident he will play in Week 12. 'I feel good. I think I'm going be just fine, but we'll take it day by day,' Warner said following Week 11. Warner will undergo neurological tests this week, which will be compared with baseline tests that every player undergoes before the season. Analysis: Warner is a must-start, obviously, if he plays, but we'll keep a close eye on his status throughout the week. It's a good sign that he thinks he can play, but he won't be making the final decision. | 2 hours | |
| 3. | Kurt Warner's absence was precautionary? | (Rotoworld) NFL.com's Jason La Canfora calls Kurt Warner's absence from the second half of Sunday's win at St. Louis "precautionary." Analysis: This sounds right. The Rams were hardly threatening and Arizona's running game was clicking. Had the Rams evened the score late, Warner very possibly may have returned. The Cards were up by at least eight for the entire second half. Warner is a solid bet to return for Week 12 against Tennessee. | 2 hours | |
| 4. | Vincent Jackson | (RotoWire) Jackson had four receptions for 56 yards but did not score a touchdown in Sunday's win at Denver. Analysis: This marked the first time since Weeks 3 and 4 that Jackson had gone back-to-back games without scoring a touchdown. Defenses are starting to pay much more attention to Jackson lately, but he is still heavily involved in the offense and is by far the biggest threat to score week in and week out. Look for Jackson to rebound next week when the Bolts host the Chiefs. | 2 hours | |
| 5. | Cardinals | Warner confident he will play in Week 12 | (KFFL) Updating a previous item, Kent Somers, of The Arizona Republic, reports Arizona Cardinals QB Kurt Warner (head) is confident he will play in Week 12. "I feel good. I think I'm going be just fine, but we'll take it day by day," Warner said following Week 11. Warner will undergo neurological tests this week, which will be compared with baseline tests that every player undergoes before the season. | 3 hours | |
| 6. | Williams laughs off 'knee injury' | (Rotoworld) DeAngelo Williams laughed off questions about his knee and was apparently unaware he was even on the injury report last week. Analysis: Williams' knee is not an issue. Even coach John Fox admitted that no one was buying the claim that his No. 1 running back was ever questionable for last week. Williams is a fine RB1 even in a tough matchup with the Jets this week. | 3 hours | |
| 7. | Torry Holt | (RotoWire) Holt had three catches for 31 yards in Sunday's win over the Bills. Analysis: Holt still does not have a touchdown catch this year, and even in deeper leagues, really shouldn't be on your roster. | 4 hours | |
| 8. | David Garrard | (RotoWire) Garrard threw for 215 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Sunday's win over the Bills. Analysis: Garrard is as solid as a metronome - he'll generally throw for around 200 yards and one touchdown against good teams or bad teams, in good weather or bad weather, and at home or on the road. | 4 hours | |
| 9. | Welker catches 15 passes Week 11 | (TheHuddle) 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. Analysis: Welker missed the Patriots' first meeting with the Jets, in which we thought Julian Edelman did a serviceable Welker impersonation with eight catches for 98 yards; turns out that Welker is almost twice as good as that. | 4 hours | |
| 10. | Warner suffers apparent concussion Week 11 | (TheHuddle) Updating a previous item, Kent Somers, of The Arizona Republic, reports Cardinals QB Kurt Warner 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." Analysis: The Cardinals' offense was stagnant with Matt Leinart running the show instead of Warner, though all signs point towards Warner returning to action in Week 12. | 4 hours | |
| 11. | Cardinals | Warner appears likely to play in Week 12 | (KFFL) Mike Sando, of ESPN.com, reports Arizona Cardinals QB Kurt Warner (head) appeared lucid and spoke during an extended postgame interview session following Week 11, a strong indication he'll be ready to play in Week 12 despite feeling "fuzzy" following a second-quarter hit against the St. Louis Rams. Warner said he could have stayed in the game, but he wanted to play it safe because he values life beyond football. | 4 hours | |
| 12. | Jeremy Shockey | (RotoWire) Shockey caught two passes for 17 yards Sunday in Tampa Bay. Analysis: With the quiet emergence of David Thomas as a receiving threat, Shockey has seen a decrease in touches the last few weeks. While he still remains an upside play at tight end due to his talent and the explosive nature of the Saints' offense, he is just another option in the offense. | 5 hours | |
| 13. | Kurt Warner confident he'll play next we... | (Rotoworld) Kurt Warner said he thinks he's going to be "just fine" after suffering a minor concussion during Sunday's win over the Rams. Analysis: Warner didn't play in the second half Sunday and was replaced by Matt Leinart. Warner said he hasn't suffered a concussion since 2003 and didn't lose consciousness or memory Sunday, which bodes well for his chances of being cleared for this week. He'll undergo neurological tests and will need to pass his baseline tests before suiting up against the Titans. Consider Warner questionable for now. | 5 hours | |
| 14. | Kurt Warner | (RotoWire) While Warner (head) expects to play in Week 12, Kent Somers of the Arizona Republic isn't so sure. Analysis: Somers writes that he might err on the side of caution and keep Warner out a week, especially since the Cardinals have a three-game lead in the NFC West. This is pure speculation at this point. Warner will be evaluated by the Cardinals' medical staff and his Week 12 status should become clearer throughout the week. | 6 hours | |
| 15. | 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. | 14 hours | |
| 16. | 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." | 14 hours | |
| 17. | Celek held out of end zone in Week 11 wi... | (Rotoworld) Brent Celek caught four passes for 35 yards in Week 11. Analysis: Celek had scored a touchdown in three consecutive weeks, but failed to find pay dirt Sunday night against the Bears. For what it's worth, he was targeted in the end zone on an overthrown ball in the first quarter. Keep him on board as a reliable TE1 as the NFL season carries into Week 12. | 15 hours | |
| 18. | Fred Davis | (RotoWire) Davis caught two passes for 24 yards in Week 11. Analysis: He continues to start while Chris Cooley (ankle) is out of the lineup. He has failed to make an impact since replacing Cooley in the lineup. | 15 hours | |
| 19. | Julian Edelman | (RotoWire) Edelman (forearm) caught three passes for 26 yards in Sunday's win over the Jets. Analysis: Edelman has been a nice role player for the Pats this season, but there normally hasn't been a lot to go around for the team's other receivers once Randy Moss and Wes Welker get their usual share of targets. | 18 hours | |
| 20. | 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. | 18 hours | |
| 21. | 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. | 19 hours | |
| 22. | Edelman shows some things as No. 3 WR | (Rotoworld) Julian Edelman caught three passes for 26 yards in Sunday's win over the Jets. Analysis: Edelman was the clear No. 3 receiver with Sam Aiken inactive. If you aren't looking closely, Edelman looks a lot like Wes Welker, but he's not as adept at getting open. Edelman did make one impressive play on a third down where he was surrounded by three Jets and still fought his way for the first down. Edleman remains waiver wire fodder barring an injury to Welker. | 19 hours | |
| 23. | 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. | 19 hours | |
| 24. | 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. | 19 hours | |
| 25. | 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 ... (More) | 19 hours | |
| 26. | Malcom Floyd held to 38 yards in Week 11 | (Rotoworld) Malcom Floyd caught four passes for 38 yards against the Broncos in Week 11. Analysis: Floyd was on the way to his best best game of the season in the first half, but he was targeted once in the second half with the Chargers taking the air out of the ball. Yet to top three receptions on the season, Floyd belongs on waiver wires. | 19 hours | |
| 27. | 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. | 19 hours | |
| 28. | V-Jax held to 56 yards in Week 11 | (Rotoworld) Vincent Jackson was held to 56 yards on four catches against the Broncos in Week 11. Analysis: Champ Bailey shadowed him all game, but V-Jax would have had much better numbers if the game hadn't gotten out of hand so early. He got separation on a deep ball at one point, but Philip Rivers overthrew him in the end zone. V-Jax remains a WR1 and should be started with confidence against the Chiefs in Week 12. | 19 hours | |
| 29. | 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. | 19 hours | |
| 30. | 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. | 20 hours | |
| 31. | 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. | 21 hours | |
| 32. | 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). | 21 hours | |
| 33. | Davis struggles again | (Rotoworld) Fred Davis caught two passes for 24 yards in Sunday's loss to the Cowboys. Analysis: The Redskins need Chris Cooley out there. Aside from Davis' struggles in blocking, he's not getting open. Since taking over as the starter in Week 9, Davis has eight catches in three games. He's a TE2 heading into next week's game against the Eagles. | 21 hours | |
| 34. | Rashard Mendenhall | (RotoWire) Mendenhall racked up 116 total yards and a touchdown in Sunday's loss to the Chiefs. Analysis: Mendenhall carried 21 times for 80 yards but seemed a bit more dangerous out of the backfield Sunday. He had just four receptions but they went for 36 yards and a touchdown (the first receiving touchdown of his career). He also saved a touchdown for the Steelers when Ben Roethlisberger was picked off in the endzone in the fourth quarter. KC's Andy Studebaker raced toward a pick-six, but was chased down by Mendenhall just a few yards shy of the Steelers' endzone. He may have been spelled a bit more by Willie Parker on Sunday, but he is still the focal point of the rush... (More) | 21 hours | |
| 35. | 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. | 21 hours | |
| 36. | 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. | 21 hours | |
| 37. | Jaguars | Garrard leads second straight comeback win | (KFFL) The Associated Press reports Jacksonville Jaguars QB David Garrard went 21-for-30 for 215 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Week 11. He threw a game-winning touchdown with 56 seconds left to pickup his second straight come-from-behind win. | 22 hours | |
| 38. | Mendenhall totals 116 yards, TD in Week ... | (Rotoworld) Rashard Mendenhall rushed 21 times for 80 yards and added four receptions for 36 yards and a touchdown against the Chiefs in Week 11. Analysis: The Chiefs struggle to contain running backs in the passing game, and Mendenhall exploited an opening for an 8-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter. Willie Parker saw seven touches this week, but he was merely used to give Mendenhall a breather. Mendenhall remains a RB2 for next week's game at Baltimore. | 22 hours | |
| 39. | 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. | 22 hours | |
| 40. | Shockey catches two balls for 17 yards | (Rotoworld) Jeremy Shockey caught two balls for 17 yards in Week 11. Analysis: Drew Brees was held under 200 yards for the first time since Week 4, so someone was going to get weeded out. Shockey also wasn't helped by backup David Thomas' best game as a Saint (4-66-1). Shockey's been playing at a Pro Bowl level all year and isn't likely to lose so much production to Thomas going forward, but we'd reserve him against New England in Week 12. | 22 hours | |
| 41. | Garrard throws for 215 yards, win in Wee... | (Rotoworld) David Garrard completed 21-of-30 passes for 215 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Week 11 against the Bills. Analysis: Garrard also ran in a game-clinching two-point conversion late in the fourth quarter. He had just 68 passing yards in the first half but eventually found throwing room with Maurice Jones-Drew capturing the Bills' attention. The Jaguars are 6-4, incredibly, and right in the AFC Wild Card hunt. | 22 hours | |
| 42. | Chiefs inactives for Week 11 | (FFChamps) The Kansas City Chiefs have announced the following players as inactive for today's game against the Oakland Raiders: QB Matt Guitierrez, CB Donald Washington, RB Dantrell Savage, OLB Mike Vrabel, LB Justin Rogers, OG Andy Alleman, TE Jake O'Connell, and LB David Herron. Analysis: The Chiefs will be without Mike Vrabel on Sunday which could mean an even bigger day for Rashard Mendenhall and the Steelers run game. Starting guard Andy Alleman is inactive and his loss will be felt ... (More) | 1 day | |
| 43. | Slaton regains starting job | (FFChamps) The Houston Chronicle reported Saturday that Houston Texans' running back Steve Slaton will be the starter for Monday night's game against the Tennessee Titans. The Texans had a bye in Week 10, but Ryan Moats got the start in Week 9 (a 20-17 loss to the Indianapolis Colts) after Slaton had been benched the previous game due to his league-leading eight fumbles on the season. Analysis: We kind-of figured it was just a matter of time before Slaton got his job back. Moats is a serviceable NFL back, but he just doesn't possess the all-around sk... (More) | 1 day | |
| 44. | Slaton to start in Week 11 | (TheHuddle) The Houston Chronicle, reports Houston Texans RB Steve Slaton will start at running back in Week 11. Analysis: Slaton once again gets the start for Houston who have had problems consistently rushing the ball this season. Ryan Moats should still be a factor in the offense but Slaton will likely get the bulk of the carries at the present time. Fantasy owners should view Slaton as a low-end No. 2 running back. | 1 day | |
| 45. | Steve Slaton to start for Texans again | (FFToolbox) Three weeks after losing his starting job after losing the ball too often, it looks like Steve Slaton is back in the captain's chair in the Houston Texans' backfield. Slaton found out Saturday he would start Monday night against the Tennessee Titans after having a good week of practices. Slaton was initially benched in week eight after losing a fumble for the third straight game. He played in a reserve role behind Ryan Moats in week nine before the Texans' bye week. Slaton said that he was anticipating to regain the starting spot and tha... (More) | 1 day | |
| 46. | Texans | Slaton to start in Week 11 | (KFFL) John McClain, of the Houston Chronicle, reports Houston Texans RB Steve Slaton will start at running back in Week 11. | 1 day | |
| 47. | Steve Slaton | (RotoWire) Slaton will start at running back Monday against Tennessee, the Houston Chronicle reports. "I had an assumption that I would start, but nothing was concrete until now," Slaton said. "I'm happy about it. It's an opportunity I have to take full advantage of." Analysis: It looks like Slaton will get a chance to be the primary back, but Ryan Moats could still be in the mix. This still sounds like an unstable situation, but Slaton could become a strong fantasy option again quickly if he has a good game and overcomes his recent fumbling problems. | 2 days | |
| 48. | Steve Slaton regains starting job for Te... | (Rotoworld) Steve Slaton will start for the Texans against the Titans on Monday night. Analysis: We thought that Slaton would have to prove he can hold on to the ball before getting his starting job back, but coach Gary Kubiak is apparently convinced. Slaton's role was due to grow anyway because he's clearly their best back, but this a great sign that he has his coach's confidence. Look for Slaton to still share carries with Chris Brown and Ryan Moats, but we like him as a solid flex play this week. | 2 days | |
| 49. | Edelman wearing a shield | (Rotoworld) Julian Edelman will wear a carbon-fiber shield on his right forearm for the second straight game Sunday. Analysis: Edelman is listed as questionable, but he's going to play. The shield is not a cast as he can slip it on and off. Edelman is not a fantasy option as he saw just two targets last week as the No. 3 receiver. | 2 days | |
| 50. | 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 | |
| 51. | Patriots | Four limited Friday, expected to play Week 11 | (KFFL) New England Patriots WR Sam Aiken (hip), TE Chris Baker (shoulder), C Dan Koppen (knee) and WR Julian Edelman (forearm) were limited during the team's practice Friday, Nov. 20. Each player is listed as questionable for Week 11 but are expected to play. | 2 days | |
| 52. | Julian Edelman | (RotoWire) Edelman (forearm) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jets, the Boston Globe reports. Analysis: Edelman was able to play with a cast on his forearm last weekend, which we expect to be the case again on Sunday. | 2 days | |
| 53. | Edelman limited again | (Rotoworld) Julian Edelman (questionable, arm) was limited in Patriots practice Friday. Analysis: Edelman was limited every day this week, but is fully expected to play against the Jets. He's not a WR3 or flex option against a difficult pass defense. | 2 days | |
| 54. | 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. | 3 days | |
| 55. | DeAngelo Williams | (RotoWire) Williams (knee) rushed for 122 yards on 13 carries and picked up a two-point conversion in Thursday's loss to Miami. Analysis: The Panthers only handed the ball off 25 times, but Williams essentially shared the carries with Jonathan Stewart (12 carries, 43 yards). With extra rest, both backs should be able to rest their nagging injuries, perhaps returning the Carolina backfield to its regular 60-40 workload split favoring Williams in Week 12. | 3 days | |
| 56. | Panthers | D. Williams, J. Stewart active for Week 11 | (KFFL) Steve Reed, of CarolinaGrowl.com, reports Carolina Panthers DeAngelo Williams (knee) and RB Jonathan Stewart (Achilles') are active for the team's Week 11 game. | 3 days | |
| 57. | Patriots | Eight limited Thursday | (KFFL) New England Patriots WR Sam Aiken (hip), LB Eric Alexander (groin), TE Chris Baker (shoulder), DT Ron Brace (ankle), WR Julian Edelman (forearm), C Dan Koppen (knee), OT Matt Light (knee) and DE Ty Warren (ankle) were limited during the team's practice Thursday, Nov. 19. | 3 days | |
| 58. | D-Will rushes for 122 yards in Week 11 | (Rotoworld) DeAngelo Williams rushed 13 times for 122 yards and added one reception for nine yards against the Dolphins in Week 11. Analysis: Averaging close to 10 yards a pop, an explosive Williams couldn't be stopped by a previous stout Dolphins run defense. Had the coaches not been trying to build confidence in Jake Delhomme, Williams could have threatened 200 yards. Having learned a valuable lesson, the Panthers will look to get the ball back in Williams' hands next week against the Jets. With six straight games over 100 total yards, he remains a must-start RB1. | 3 days | |
| 59. | Patriots | Eight limited Thursday | (KFFL) San Diego Chargers WR Sam Aiken (hip), LB Eric Alexander (groin), TE Chris Baker (shoulder), DT Ron Brace (ankle), WR Julian Edelman (forearm), C Dan Koppen (knee), OT Matt Light (knee) and DE Ty Warren (ankle) were limited during the team's practice Thursday, Nov. 19. | 3 days | |
| 60. | Panthers inactives for Week 11 | (FFChamps) The Carolina Panthers have announced the following players as inactive for tonight's game against the Miami Dolphins: RB Mike Goodson, WR Kenneth Moore, S Charles Godfrey, FB Brad Hoover, OG Duke Robinson, DE Charles Johnson, DE Hilee Taylor, and QB A.J. Feeley. Analysis: Breathe easy...DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart, who were both listed as questionable, will play for the Panthers tonight. It's not an easy matchup against the seventh-ranked Dolphins run defense, but include them in your starting lineup if you would normally do so. | 3 days | |
| 61. | Panthers | D. Williams, J. Stewart active for Week 11 | (KFFL) Steve Reed, of CarolinaGrowl.com, reports Carolina Panthers DeAngelo Williams (knee) and RB Jonathan Stewart (Achilles') are active for the team's Week 11 game. | 3 days | |
| 62. | Edelman limited again Thursday | (Rotoworld) Patriots WR Julian Edelman (arm) was limited again Thursday. Analysis: Edelman will play against the Jets Sunday, likely as the No. 3 receiver. Barring an injury to Randy Moss or Wes Welker, he's without value in fantasy leagues. | 3 days | |
| 63. | DeAngelo Williams | (RotoWire) Williams (knee) is expected to play Thursday against Miami, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. Analysis: We expected this outcome even after Williams missed Wednesday's practice, so this shouldn't come as a surprise if you've been following Williams' player notes. Check back about an hour before kickoff for final confirmation, but both Williams and backfield mate Jonathan Stewart are expected to play against the Dolphins. | 3 days | |
| 64. | Stewart expected to play | (FFChamps) Panthers running back Jonathan Stewart is expected to play in tonight's game against the Dolphins, according to a Tweet this afternoon from ESPN's Adam Schefter. Stewart is listed as questionable on the injury report because of his lingering Achilles' tendon injury; however, he is listed as questionable every week because of the ailment and keeps playing. Moreover, he practiced fully on Wednesday. Analysis: The Dolphins are stout against the run, but Stewart is an every-week threat to at least hit paydirt from short range. If he is typically in your fantasy lineup, don't let his misleading questionab... (More) | 3 days | |
| 65. | Williams expected to play | (FFChamps) Panthers running back DeAngelo Williams is expected to play in tonight's game against the Dolphins, according to a Tweet this afternoon from ESPN's Adam Schefter. Williams did not practice Wednesday beause of his sore knee and is listed as questionable for the game. Analysis: Williams was a game time decision this past Sunday after being listed as questionable, yet played the entire game. The Dolphins will be a tough matchup, but we suspect Schefter is right and that Williams will suit up. In most cases, unless you are loaded at running back, that means he should be in your fantasy lineup as well. | 3 days | |
| 66. | Williams will play Thursday | (Rotoworld) DeAngelo Williams (knee, questionable) is expected to play Thursday night, confirms ESPN's Adam Schefter. Analysis: Coach John Fox already acknowledged that Williams sat out practice on Wednesday just to rest. He's a full go and is a RB1 even against the solid Dolphins' run defense. | 4 days | |
| 67. | Williams questionable for Thursday night | (FFChamps) Carolina Panthers' running back DeAngelo Williams is listed as questionable for Thursday night's game against the Miami Dolphins. Williams was questionable for Week 10, as well, but played a full compliment of snaps and showed no ill effects of his lingering knee injury in a victory over the Atlanta Falcons. Analysis: Williams averaged nearly 5.0 YPC on 17 carries last weekend, despite being a game-time decision. There were no reports of Williams tweaking the knee any further, and the fact that Carolina gave him a significant workload against the Falcons in Week 10 makes us think the knee isn't a hug...

| 68. | Shockey: LeBron would run 4.9 forty | (Rotoworld) Jeremy Shockey doesn't believe that LeBron James could play in the NFL, and estimates that LeBron runs a 4.9 forty. Analysis: "Lebron James could not play in the NFL!" Shockey tweeted Wednesday. "Espn is crazy to even think he could even make a practice squad. Hes a 4.9 40 time." James was a first-team all-Ohio receiver as a prep sophomore and led his team to the state semifinals as a junior before quitting to focus on hoops. At 6'8/250, though, a 4.9 wouldn't be very impressive. | 4 days | |
| 69. | Julian Edelman | (RotoWire) Edelman (forearm) was listed as a limited participant at Wednesday's practice. Analysis: Edelman played with a cast on his forearm in Week 10, which is enough to keep him on the injury report, but he should be fine this weekend, with no setback reported thus far. | 4 days | |
| 70. | Patriots | Six players limited Wednesday | (KFFL) Monique Walker, of the Boston Globe, reports New England Patriots LB Eric Alexander (groin), TE Chris Baker (shoulder), DT Ron Brace (ankle), WR Julian Edelman (forearm), C Dan Koppen (knee) and OT Matt Light (knee) were limited during practice Wednesday, Nov. 18. | 4 days | |
| 71. | Lawrence Tynes | (RotoWire) Tynes (knee) does not appear on Wednesday's injury report. Analysis: Tynes banged his knee during the Giants' last game, but the bye week provided him enough time to recover. He is safe to start Sunday against the Falcons. | 4 days | |
| 72. | Edelman limited Wednesday | (Rotoworld) Patriots WR Julian Edelman (arm) practiced on a limited basis Wednesday. Analysis: Edelman has resumed playing and caught two balls for 14 yards with a TD in New England's Week 10 loss. He still needs injuries to matter in fantasy. | 4 days | |
| 73. | Panthers | Williams questionable for Week 11 | (KFFL) Steve Reed, of CarolinaGrowl.com, reports Carolina Panthers RB DeAngelo Williams (knee) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Nov. 18. He is listed as questionable for Week 11. | 5 days | |
| 74. | DeAngelo Williams | (RotoWire) Williams (knee) was held out of Wednesday's practice and is officially listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Dolphins, Darin Gantt of the Rock Hill Herald reports. Analysis: A couple of things to consider. First, the Panthers have been very liberal with the questionable tag this season. Second, Williams wasn't mentioned as a non-participant in practice earlier in the week. Third, Williams played in Week 10 after carrying a questionable tag and missing practice on Friday. We think he'll be able to play on Thursday night, but you'll want to check back about an hour before kickoff just to be certain. | 5 days | |
| 75. | DeAngelo Williams rests on Wednesday | (Rotoworld) Panthers coach John Fox acknowledged Wednesday that DeAngelo Williams (knee, questionable) sat out practice only to "rest." Analysis: Williams hasn't been limping and is playing well despite the alleged injury. Safely consider him a lock to lead Carolina in touches on Thursday night. | 5 days | |
| 76. | Steve Slaton | (RotoWire) Slaton continues to work on fumble-prevention during team practices, the Texans' official site reports. After fumbling eight times and losing five of them, Slaton was replaced as the starting running back by Ryan Moats. Analysis: He was still used as a third down back in their last game against Indianapolis, but the team ideally wants him as its lead back. In practices, teammates routinely rip at the ball both during and after the play to make sure Slaton is keeping the ball secure. "For us to play well in the next seven weeks, Steve will have to be a big part of that. I know I'm counting on him, and I know his teammates are, too," said Texans head coach Gary K...

| 77. | Slaton trying to correct fumbling issues | (TheHuddle) HoustonTexans.com reports Houston Texans RB Steve Slaton has been trying to fix his fumbling issues. 'I've just talked to old coaches just to get back to where I was before,' Slaton said. 'It's just a problem that's come up now. I just wanted to go back and just get a sense of where I was before. You've just got to put it out of your mind and not think about it too much, but it still has to be there, just to know you've got squeeze it.' Analysis: Slaton's had two weeks to work on the problem, since Houston had a bye in Week 10. He'll probably continue to share carries with Ryan Moats and, to a less... (More) | 5 days | |
| 78. | Slaton watching tapes of Tiki Barber | (Rotoworld) Steve Slaton has begun watching tapes of former Giants RB Tiki Barber in hopes of solving his fumbling problems. Analysis: Slaton has fumbled the ball an NFL-high eight times this season, though coach Gary Kubiak has lauded him for his work ethic. "For us to play well in the next seven weeks, Steve will have to be a big part of that," said Kubiak. Slaton will have to prove that he can hold onto the football before he gets his starting job back. | 5 days | |
| 79. | Texans | Slaton trying to correct fumbling issues | (KFFL) Drew Dougherty, of HoustonTexans.com, reports Houston Texans RB Steve Slaton has been trying to fix his fumbling issues. "I've just talked to old coaches just to get back to where I was before," Slaton said. "It's just a problem that's come up now. I just wanted to go back and just get a sense of where I was before. You've just got to put it out of your mind and not think about it too much, but it still has to be there, just to know you've got squeeze it." | 5 days | |
| 80. | DeAngelo Williams | (RotoWire) Williams (knee) hasn't appeared on the Panthers' injury report for Week 11. Analysis: The final report of the week will come out on Wednesday, but it's unlikely that Williams' name will be on it as anything other than probable as the knee issues that bothered him last week haven't resurfaced over the last couple of weeks. | 6 days | |
| 81. | 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." | 6 days | |
| 82. | Brent Celek | (RotoWire) Celek had six catches for 47 yards and a touchdown during Philadelphia's loss in San Diego on Sunday. Analysis: Celek was once again productive against a Chargers team that struggles mightily when covering tight ends. Start Celek with confidence against the Bears in Week 11. | 6 days | |
| 83. | Malcom Floyd | (RotoWire) Floyd had three receptions for 45 yards without a touchdown on Sunday against the Eagles. Analysis: Floyd actually caught two more passes than Vincent Jackson on this day, but it's just not very likely that he will often lead the wide receivers in catches. He is a solid contributor on a good team, but his upside will always be limited by a number of other superior options on the offense. | 7 days | |
| 84. | V-Jax kept in check by double teams | (Rotoworld) The Eagles used double-coverage on Vincent Jackson throughout his one-catch performance Sunday. Analysis: "They were very careful, and were not going to let us get the ball upfield to Vincent, and they doubled him most of the game," said coach Norv Turner. Instead, the Eagles left the middle of the field open for Antonio Gates to catch seven passes. V-Jax has emerged as one of the most dominant receivers in the league, so don't expect a repeat against Denver this week. | 7 days | |
| 85. | 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. | 7 days | |
| 86. | Edelman snags first career TD in loss | (Rotoworld) Julian Edelman caught two passes for 14 yards and a touchdown in the Patriots' Week 10 loss to the Colts. Analysis: Edelman broke from his defender and snagged a nine-yard touchdown in the second quarter. It was the rookie's first career score. | 7 days | |
| 87. | 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 |
