EARTH-SHAKERS! PLAY-MAKERS! GAME-BREAKERS!
**Quarterbacks**
Gray likely to be elevated to number two behind Thigpen...
....although Gray has only been with the team about a week, this move was not too surprising. Thigpen was good in Week 8, but unless he sustains that level of play, it would appear the plan will be for Gray to eventually takeover the reigns.
Rodgers not expected to do much throwing Friday...
....the Packers quarterback warmed up the heater (his arm) quite a bit on Wednesday and Thursday. It sounds like Rodgers is getting healthy and should be ready for the Titans on Sunday. The no-throw on Friday is just to rest the shoulder.
Cowboys will likely stay with Johnson as starter against Giants...
....the Washington Times is reporting that Brad Johnson will make his third straight start for the Cowboys on Sunday. With back-up Brooks Bollinger seeing some time with the first team this week, Johnson could be on a short leash. He's not worth a starting spot this week on any rosters.
**Running backs**
Hall likely to be limited to special teams...
....following a disastrous Week 7, the Broncos running back Andre Hall has been practicing, although it is not expected that he will see much time in the backfield. Turnovers in Week 7 will likely relegate Hall's playing time to only special teams, where he's been effective in coverage.
Charles limited Wednesday in practice by ankle injury...
....the Chiefs running back is looking more like a sit for Week 9, with the ankle injury. Owners should not count on running back Kolby Smith to offer any value this week against the Buccaneers defense.
Parker practices in full, but still not certain for Sunday...
....with a Monday night game this week, Parker will be afforded the extra day of rest. As long as he suffers no setbacks this week during practice, he's a good bet to start Monday night. Even if Parker does start MeWelde Moore should see some significant playing time.
**Wide Receivers**
Williams slowly climbing the ladder in Dallas...
....the Cowboys have gradually been working Roy Williams into the offense. This week against a big pass rush like the Giants, a big target could be a commodity on Sunday. Expect to see William's role and involvement increase this Week.
Brown practicing and expected to play this week...
....the Eagles receiver appears to be over his groin injury and should play Sunday against the Seahawks. With Curtis and Jackson the current starters, Brown's production could be limited. Consider the Eagles third receiver, nothing more than an average flex play this week.
Jones back to practicing without incident this week....
....the Packers will need all the good news they can get this week against the Titans. Jones' return should help open up coverage for Jennings and Driver who are normal plays. Coming off the knee injury, don't count on much from Jones who should be
**Tight Ends**
Bennett to start for Cowboys if Witten can't go...
....the writing has been on the wall with this one. TE Martellus Bennett has shown a lot of athletic ability and could be a nice fill-in for the injured Witten. Owners, if you have the chance should handcuff the rookie tight end.
With LJ sidelined, TE Celek will likely start Sunday...
....the Eagles back up tight end is actually a good receiving tight end. Like the Witten-Bennett situation in Dallas, Celek could be a nice replacement fill for the week. Smith usually plays a big role in the red-zone, which could spell scoring chances for Celek, keep watch.
***IDP: Individual Defense***
Freeney sits Wednesday, but expected to start...
.......it appears the Colts are merely trying to heal old wounds. Freeney's absence from Wednesday's practice was just a move to allow the defensive end to heal. He will start Sunday against New England and is an IDP must start.
Harris now listed atop depth chart in Minnesota...
........it appears Harris is now the Vikings starter at middle linebacker. Harris has tallied as many as 116 tackles in a season and although recorded only 5 tackles in his first game with the Vikings, he can now be considered an every week start in IDP leagues.
With Bailey sidelined Paymah will be tested Sunday...
........with Champ out, there's no question the Dolphins will go at Paymah with WR Tedd Ginn Jr. In IDP leagues there are no penalties for catches and yards allowed, but there's big pay-offs for picks. Owners trying to pick up points can expect Paymah to get many chances.
