FSH: WEEKLY ROUND-UP (DIVISIONAL ROUND)

January 10th, 2008 9:47am PST


WEEKLY ROUND-UP...


***Haynesworth Probable for Today...
.....the Titan's defensive lineman Albert Haynesworth (knee) was able to rest his injuries late in the regular season. After returning to practice this week, he is listed as probable for today's game. IDP owners should expect the big guy to be active and have him in their lineups.

***Sproles Likely to Start Sunday...
.....the Charger's tiny package of dynamite Darren Sproles is expected to start Sunday for the injured Tomlinson. Sproles has been instrumental in San Diego's playoff run down the stretch. Whether he starts or not, he's a must play against the tough Steeler defense.

***Boldin Expected to Play Today...
....the Cardinal's wide receiver Anquan Boldin (hamstring) is expected to be active today and play in today's divisional matchup with the Carolina Panthers. Boldin has yet to test the sore hammy and won't until warmups, so fantasy owners will have to play accordingly.

***Mawae Ruled OUT for Divisional Matchup...
....the Titan's All-Pro center Kevin Mawae has been ruled out for today's matchup with Baltimore. Mawae has not practiced since injuring his elbow on December 21st and despite the extra week of rest won't play.

***Westbrook Practices Friday...
.....the Eagle's running back Brian Westbrook returned to a limited practice on Friday and has been upgraded to probable for Sunday. There's been no question that Westbrook would play, but the upgrade is definitely a good sign the Eagles running back is as healthy and ready.

***Tomlinson Doubtful for Matchup with Steelers...
....the Charger's running back LaDanian Tomlinson (groin) confirmed earlier this week his detached tendon. LT has not practiced this week and is doubtful for Sunday's tilt against the Steelers. Sproles will likely start in place of LT.

***Jacobs Expected to Make Start Sunday...
....the Giant's running back Brandon Jacobs completed a full week of practice and is not on the injury report. Jacobs has pronounced himself "fit and ready" for Sunday's matchup with Philadelphia. Jacobs has a tough matchup this Sunday, but he should see enough carries to be a decent start for fantasy owners.

***Big Ben Practices Friday, Expected to Start...
....the Steeler's quarterback Ben Roethlisberger was able to complete a full week of practice and will start Sunday. Big Ben is coming off a severe concussion suffered in Week 17, but appears to have no lingering affects for the injury. Roethlisberger is not expected to be on a short leash, so he should be a safe play for fantasy owners.
