EARTH-SHAKERS! PLAY-MAKERS!

GAME-BREAKERS!

Quinn done for the season...
....trying to play through his broken finger, Quinn's injury became worse and he will miss the remainder of the season. With Quinn now out this opens up the door for Derek Anderson to start, although he is not a recommended play for fantasy owners.

Jackson could play in Week 13...
....the signs all point towards Jackson returning, especially in he practices the rest of the week. If Jackson is ready to go, he's considered a strong play against the Dolphins in the Edwards Jones Dome.

Texans place Green on IR...
.....Ahman Green sprained his knee Sunday against the Browns and was placed on the IR ending his 2008 season. With Green done, Steve Slaton (ribs) will now be the featured back and likely see a heavier load once he's 100%.

Palmer could throw soon for Bengals...
.....it's too late for fantasy owners to count on any comeback for the former SC Trojan. Palmer is due to test the elbow on Dec. 7th. Even if all goes well, he's unlikely to have any fantasy impact this season.

Dolphins lose Camarillo for the season...
....the Dolphins lost Camarillo with a torn ACL on Sunday. Rookie WR Davone Bess is expected to move into the starting lineup, but Tedd Ginn Jr remains the Dolphins' only reliable play for fantasy owners going forward.

McNabb will start Thursday night...
....the Eagles head coach Andy Reid confirmed Monday that McNabb would start. The Eagles faced one of the leagues best defenses in Week 12, where McNabb struggled. It is not likely he'll face the same kind of pressure. Owners should expect Donovan to bounce back in a big way on the prime-time stage.

Thigpen stumbles a bit in Week 12...
....the Chiefs starting quarterback still put up decent fantasy numbers with 3 touchdown throws in Week 12, but his three turnovers were more than he had committed in his previous five starts combined. Thigpen is still considered a low QB2.

Bradley still making an impact in KC...
....the Chiefs journey man receiver is looking more and more at home in KC. Bradley caught his third touchdown pass of the season and now has 24 receptions in his six games with the Chiefs.

Daniels has cooled down lately...
....after peaking with 11 catches in Week 9, Daniels has just 5 catches in his last three starts. Despite cooling off, the Texans tight end is still considered a top 10 receiving option and should be in your line ups.

McFadden sees action in Week 12...
....the Raiders rookie had 10 carries last Sunday and found the end zone twice. With Justin Fargas running well for now, D-Mac is not quite ready to be an every week play for fantasy owners, but those in dynasty leagues definitely have a keeper worth holding for 2009.


IDP NEWS & NOTES...

Porter still leading league...
....despite disobeying his coach this past weekend, the Dolphins linebacker (and NFL's leading sacker with 14.5-sacks) Joey Porter is not expected to receive any kind of suspension from the team or miss any time. He's an IDP must-start every Sunday.

Dummerville in Denver drought...
....the Broncos leading pass rusher a year ago has been a major disappointment along with the entire defense. Dummerville has just three sacks this season and is no longer considered a worthy IDP play for fantasy owners.

Sanders still ailing in Indy...
.....the Colts survived a tough test without Sanders this past weekend. Sanders missed his second straight contest in Week 12 and has struggled to stay healthy all season long. When healthy Sanders is an IDP stud, but this season its been a different story. Keep him on your bench for now.
