GAME-BREAKERS!
Bush very much expected to play Sunday...
....the consensus sounds like fantasy owners can expect to see Reggie Bush back on Sunday. Bush was able to practice all week without any setbacks and according to The Times-Picayune both he and Coach Sean Payton said they fully expect him to play
Despite foot injury Stewart listed as probable...
.....earlier in the week Stewart was sporting a walking boot, but it appears he will be able to go this Sunday after full participation Friday. With Williams running with the hot hand as of late, Stewart is considered more a flex option than anything else now.
Schaub could play Monday night...
....the Texans quarterback is trying to make an early return this Monday after taking snaps this week. With Schaub a question mark, Rosenfels becomes a less than attractive low QB2. If Schaub does go, he’s a heavy risk likely playing a less than 100%, a situation highly recommended worth avoiding if possible.
Jackson expected to play this Sunday...
....the Rams running back practiced all week, but was limited. Jackson did show improvement as the week progressed according to HC Haslett, but the decision is likely to be made on Game day. Jackson will be a bit of risk if’s he’s less than 100% and it is likely his workload will be limited.
Plaxico ruled out for Sunday, Hixon to start....
....the Giants have ruled out Burress for Sunday opening the door Domenik Hixon, who will start. While Hixon does not have Burress’ upside, he’ll be a decent WR2 against the Redskins.
Westbrook has fantastic Thanksgiving night...
.....the Eagles running back was not just good, he was a fantasy monster. Westbrook touched the ball 25 times and totaled 145-yards of offense, with four total touchdowns for the night. He's enough to drive owners crazy, but after Thursdays peerformance, you have to start Westbrook the rest of the way, unless he suffers a new more serious injury.
Boldin has poor outing in teams Week 13 loss...
....the Cardinal’s explosive durable receiver did not have his usual stellar game. Boldin caught just 5 passes for 63-yards, had several drops, and one costly turnover late in the game that seemingly ended any hopes of a comeback for Arizona.
Hasselbeck plays well in Week 13 loss...
.....the Seahawks quarterback looked steady for the most part, but just couldn’t get the rest of his offense in sync. Hasselbeck completed 22 passes on turkey day while passing for 287-yards, turnovers and timely drops were ultimately the undoing of Seattle on Thursday. The good sign, it looks like Hass is close to returning to his old self, but just needs more help on the offense.
IDP News & Notes…
Ware suffers injury in Week 12...
....the Cowboys defensive end’s MRI came back negative and he should be ready to play next Weekend against the Steelers. Ware now has 15-sacks to lead the NFL.
Eagles defense impressive in Thursday night win...
....the Eagles got an impressive effort from the defense forcing 4 turnovers and limiting the Cardinals offense to 260-yards of total offense. With an effort like that against a Kurt Warner led attack, the Eagles defense is a solid start every week.
Fletcher a question mark for matchup with Giants...
......the Redskins linebacker does not look like a good bet to play, but if he does at less than 1005 he’s probably not a good start in IDP leagues this week.
Abraham banged up, but expected to play Sunday...
....the Falcons defensive end is banged up, but he and his team high 12-sacks should be in the lineup on Sunday.
Williams listed as doubtful for Broncos this Sunday...
.... the Bronco’s defense will likely be without the services of linebacker DJ Williams and with cornerback Champ Bailey still limited, they should be avoided in all fantasy formats.

Cowboy’s Barber suffers injury in Week 13...
....the Cowboys running back had the results of his MRI come back negative. Barber suffered a sprained fifth toe, but it looks like the Cowboys running back will not miss any time, especially with the extra days of rest this week. Barber remains a solid RB1 in all formats.
Romo is fantasy stud in Week 13 win….
.....the Cowboys quarterback continues to play like he’s from another planet. Romo turned in his 6th 300-yard passing game and it was the 6th time this season he’s thrown for 3-touchdowns in a single game. Look out owners, but Romo could be throwing his hat in the MVP ring!
Witten bounces back in Week 13...
..... following two games back with Romo under center where he only caught 3 passes total, the Cowboys tight end finally found his mojo with his quarterback in Week 13. On Thanksgiving day Witten grabbed 9-balls for 115 yards and scored one touchdown. It looks as though Romo and Witten have found their groove once again.
Warner struggles in Week 13...
.....Thursday night was just not Warner’s night. The Cardinal’s offense struggled to get out of gear with a turnover in its’ opening drive and Warner had trouble connecting with his sure-handed targets. Despite his lack-luster 235-yard passing effort and 3-Int night, Warner is still a top rated QB1 and will rebound.
McNabb is solid in Thanksgiving blowout...
.....after a week full of criticism and controversy, McNabb responded well with one of his best performances this season throwing 4 touchdowns. McNabb was nifty scrambling for 24-yards and passing for 260-yards on 27 of 39 passing. McNabb is still a QB1 in most fantasy formats.
White puts up and shuts up on Thanksgiving day...
.....following a week where White complained about his one carry and one drop performance, the former SC Trojan rebounded with 23 carries, 106-yards and 2 touchdowns. While his efforts were admirable, owners shouldn’t sell the farm, it was the Lions defense.

November 25th, 2008 10:50pm PST
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.
