EARTH-SHAKERS! PLAY-MAKERS!
GAME-BREAKERS!
Niners expect RB Frank Gore to play Sunday against Rams...
.....Gore missed his second straight day of practice nursing a strained neck. Gore says he expects to practice on Friday, so fantasy owners should expect to see number 21 in the lime up. Gore has been solid and is considered a low end RB1 in most fantasy formats.
Steven Jackson looking for doubtful for Sunday against Niners...
.....the Rams running back is still hobbled by the sore thigh muscle and looks like a long shot to play Sunday. Fantasy owners should consider other options, unless Jackson experiences some kind of miraculous recovery before Sunday.
QB Matt Hasselbeck and WR Deion Branch return to practice...
.....both players have missed a lot of time on the field due to injury this season. If both make it back on the field this Sunday, fantasy owners should not expect to see much from either.
Javon Walker says his season is over...
.....the Raider's receiver said he is out for the season with a left ankle injury according to the SFGate.com. The team has yet to comment. Walker has been a fantasy bust ever since his knee injury last season with Denver.
Chiefs RB Larry Johnson back at practice....
.....with running back Jamaal Charles iffy with an ankle injury, there's a good chance not only will LJ play on Sunday, but he could even start for the Chiefs. Johnson has not played for four weeks, but he's been practicing with the team so he's still in shape. Despite the time off, if LJ sees considerable action, fantasy owners can expect results against the Saints.
Buc's RB Warrick Dunn returns to practice...
.....the Buc's shifty back returned to full participation in practice for second consecutive day and looks like a cinch to play Sunday. With Graham banged up a bit, Dunn could see more work
Packers QB Aaron Rodgers practices fully...
.....the Packers quarterback is finally getting healthier and could soon return to his early season form. After completing a full participation practice for the first time since Week 4, Rodger's appears ready to have a big game against the Bear's 30th ranked pass defense. Fantasy owners need to have Rodgers in their line ups this Sunday.
Cowboys QB Tony Romo will start Sunday night against Redskins...
.....with the pinkie not expected to be a problem, Romo looks set to start Sunday night and with newly acquired Roy Williams joining TO in the starting lineup, he should be a decent play for fantasy owners. In their first meeting Romo passed for 300 yards with 3 touchdowns.
Redskins RB Portis in serious doubt after missing practice....
.....the Redskins running back sat out of practice again on Thursday and appears more doubtful for Sunday night's showdown with the Cowboys. Fantasy owners should start considering other options with this latest news on Portis.
QB Daunte Culpepper to start for second consecutive week...
.....Culpepper's first stint as the team's starter last week was not a flying success completing only 5 passes. This week will likely not fair much better facing the Panthers number 8th ranked defense. Owners should not consider Culpepper an option in any format.
Raven's WR Derrick Mason not practicing.....
.....Mason suffered a shoulder injury last Sunday and will be resting this week in hopes of feeling well enough to play on Sunday. While Mason is optimistic, the Raven's wideout does not offer much fantasy value other than in PPR leagues. If you can go another direction, that would be the safe play here.
RB Darren McFadden likely to play Sunday against the Dolphins.....
.....according to the Contra Costa Times, the Raiders rookie running back returned to practice and felt pretty good. It was noted that head coach Tom Cable was optimistic about McFadden's return this Sunday. Fantasy owners should be careful not to buy too deep into any of this. D-Mac has not see action in weeks and would be a very risky play.
IDP NEWS...
Eagles CB Samuels misses practice....
....the Eagles defense has been steady this season, but losing Samuels (hip) could hurt. Samuels leads the team with 3 interceptions this season.
Keith Bulluck misses second day of practice...
....the Titan's linebacker has been a non-participant for two straight practices, but word is he's still expected to play. Unless he misses practice on Friday, IDP owners should count on seeing him play too. Bulluck leads the team with 58 tackles this season.
Vanden Bosch misses second day of practice...
....the Titan's defensive lineman still has a chance to play Sunday, if he can practice Friday. Owners should check back to see his status for Week 11. Vanden Bosch has 3 sacks this season.
Packers CB Woodson still limited in practice...
.......this is pretty much the norm for Woodson during the week, owners should expect to see him on the field this Sunday. Woodson is tied for the team lead with 5 interceptions this season.
Raiders Safety Gibril Wilson misses practice...
......Wilson sat out of practice with a sore lower back, but this injury sounds more like a day off to rest than anything IDP owners should be concerned about. To be safe, owners need to check his status Friday. Wilson is second on the team with 76 tackles this season.
Bronco's CB Champ Bailey returns to practice....
.....the Bronco's will have a big challenge trying to matchup with the Falcon's receivers White and Jenkins this week. It would be a huge boost to the defense for Bailey to return. He was a light participant Thursday, Friday should tell the story.
