Fantasy News
NOISE-SHAKERS! PLAY-MAKERS! GAME-BREAKERS!
Addai could miss up to 4 weeks...
....the word is Addai has a torn hamstring and could miss up to 2-4 weeks, bet on the four weeks with the injury involving the hammy. Rhodes took the reigns last Sunday when Addai went down and was a strong fill in with 73 yards and a touchdown. With Addai out, Rhodes will be the interim starter making him a strong flex option and high-end RB3 to low-end RB2 at least while he's starting. Fantasy owners looking for the needed help at running back would be advised to snatch Rhodes as soon as possible.
Galloway could return Sunday...
....Galloway practiced Wednesday, but was limited. It's looking more and more like Galloway has a real good shot to play, but speculation is he may only play in a limited role. Fantasy owners would be advised to hold off starting Joey so soon, but rather wait to see how he does before starting.
Pittman could remain starter...
....at least for the moment, according to head coach Mike Shanahan, Pittman did "everything you want a guy to do" and took advantage of his opportunity. With Young still limited, Pittman would appear to have the inside track to start in week 7 on Monday night. Start or not, Pittman remains a strong flex option and a high end RB3 play this week against the Patriots.
McDonald expected to start in Detroit...
....according to the Detroit Free Press, it appears the WR Shaun McDonald will start along side with Calvin Johnson. With the departure of Roy Williams, Megatron now becomes the undisputed number one receiver in Detroit (he has been since the season started). With the impressive play of QB Dan Orlovsky, Johnson will likely remain the only legitimate fantasy play in the Michigan area. McDonald, with his 11 catches is hardly worth a roster spot right now, until he shows he has any value. Fantasy owners are advised to not get "too excited," but rather wait and see.
Chambers to return against Bills....
....it sounds like Chambers will be available and ready to go in Week 7 against the Bills, although he was held out of practice Wednesday. While Chambers does not have a truck load of catches this season, he seems to be the Chargers most consistent deep threat and big playmaker with 5 touchdowns this season. He'll face a tough road matchup against the Bills on Sunday, but if he plays he's always got a chance to score!
Parker questionable for Week 7...
....the Steelers running back had three weeks to rest and get well, but it now looks like he has re-aggravated the knee injury that had him sidelined. Parker was held out of practice on Wednesday and is in serious doubt to make his return Sunday against the Bengal's. It's now looking like back up Mewelde Moore has a chance to take the reigns again and could be a solid RB2 play this week.
Romo has a chance to play in Week 7...
....reports are now coming out that Tony Romo did some throwing during Wednesday's practice and informed the team that he can and is willing to play with the broken pinkie, according to ESPN's Matt Mosley. It sounds like the Cowboys may just sit Romo this week, since they are facing the Rams, but could consider bringing him back much sooner. If Romo feels comfortable making throws with good velocity (which was reported), it certainly sounds like the Cowboys high profile gunslinger will be back sooner than what was reported.
Branch misses practice Wednesday...
....the Seahawks receiver was not available to practice Wednesday. Branch has been sidelined with a heel injury and the team is not shedding any light on his status for week 7. The prognosis for Branch playing in week 7 does not appear good and owners should consider other options until they hear more on his status.
Royal back at practice this week...
....the Broncos rookie receiver returned to full practice this week and figures to be back in the line up Monday night. Royal's return this week, figures to cut into any attention WR Brandon Stokley would see (if he's available to play against the Patriots) and would limit his value even at a WR3. Stokley is banged up recovering from his 10th concussion, so it's likely that the Bronco's could take their time bringing him back with Darrell Jackson now available and Royal Healthy.
