FRIDAY'S HEADLINES
**Parker OUT for Sunday?...
....the Steelers running back Willie Parker did not practice for the third straight day and is now listed as doubtful for Sunday against the Bengals. It is highly unlikely that Parker will play, meaning MeWelde Moore would start in his place. Moore turned in a solid performance in week five playing for Parker. This week is a good matchup for either Steeler running back, so we'd suggest plugging Moore in this week, if you can grab him.
**Romo/Johnson, both still in limbo...
....the Cowboy's high profile quarterback was more of a spectator on Friday and did not participate in practice. While Johnson took all the snaps with the first team, rumors still circulate that we could see Romo on the field Sunday. It is hard to gauge as to whether Romo will start or not, but it is likely he will be active, making Johnson now a risky play.
**Portis questionable for Sunday?...
....the Redskins running back was able to fully participate in practice on Friday and is expected to play. Fantasy owners should be safe starting one of the leagues top runners this season.
**Winslow back on the field, could play...
....the Brown's tight end was able to return to practice on a limited basis Friday. Winslow was quoted as saying he's "back, and good to go." His illness that had him sidelined last Sunday, has yet to be disclosed, but it appears he's healthy enough to be in your fantasy lineup in week 7.
**Harris declared OUT for Sunday...
....the Packers defensive back Al Harris was back in practice on a limited basis this week, but will not play Sunday. Harris has been out since Sept 21st, but appears close to returning. With all the injuries the Packers have in the secondary, it would be wise for fantasy owners to pass on the Green Bay defense this week against the Colts.
**Lloyd will miss Sunday's game...
....the Bears receiver is still battling a knee injury and has been ruled out for Week 7. Brandon Lloyd has now been sidelined for several weeks with the knee injury. With Lloyd out the Bears wide out Rashied Davis should see more targets this week and could be a nice WR3 play.
