FSH: IDP NOTES

September 22nd, 2009 10:30pm PST

IDP Notes:

The strong never sleep, so for those that can keep up with the “what is happening” around the league, here’s more football just for all of the IDP Nation….

IDP News From Across the Wire…

Gary Brackett, LB, Indianapolis Colts
Gary Brackett suffered an undisclosed injury late in the fourth quarter of Monday night's game at Miami, according to the Indianapolis Star.
My Fantasy Read on Brackett: The Colts middle linebacker has been steady in the middle thus far racking up 17 total tackles. The Colts can’t afford to lose him for any extended period and fantasy owners love his production….

Jermaine Phillips, S, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
According to the St. Petersburg Times, the Bucs have placed Jermaine Phillips in injured reserve with a broken thumb.
My Fantasy Read on Phillips: The loss will hurt the Buc’s secondary which is already thin, but Phillips real lost value was going to come in week 5 when he was expected to move to linebacker. Owners will have to plan for the future….

Justin Tuck, DE, New York Giants
According to the Newark Star-Ledger, Justin Tuck is still questionable to start in the Giants Week 3 matchup with the Bucs.
My Fantasy Read on Tuck: The Giant’s defensive end is suffering from the shoulder injury he sustained when he was tripped in Sunday Night’s epic battle with the Cowboys. Tuck is a highly productive end, if he plays even at less than 100 percent he should be able to give owners something…..

Kelvin Hayden, CB, Indianapolis Colts
Kelvin Hayden suffered an undisclosed injury in the fourth quarter of Monday night's game at Miami, according to the Indianapolis Star
My Fantasy Read on Hayden: The Colts can’t afford to have another starter missing on defense. Hayden is a solid covering corner, but he needs to stay on the field. His recent healthy woes have made him a risky IDP play and now it looks like he’s dinged up again….

Terrell Suggs, DE, Baltimore Ravens

Mike Preston of the Baltimore Sun is reporting that Ravens' linebacker Terrell Suggs may be out of shape. Suggs was not effective in the first half of Sunday's game, and he didn't play much in the second half.
My Fantasy Read on Suggs: Normally a big playmaker and IDP especial Suggs does look a little off, but note he’s still being productive with 1.5 sacks on Sunday. If he’s out of shape, with playing he will only get better. Owners keep him in your lineups…..

Lawrence Timmons, LB, Pittsburgh Steelers
Lawrence Timmons is progressing in his recovery from a sprained ankle, and head coach Mike Tomlin stated that the linebacker should be able to play in a full capacity in Week 3 at Cincinnati, according to the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.
My Fantasy Read on Timmons: The third year linebacker is expected to add more playmaking ability to an already talented unit. While his production was modest last week, expect bigger things on Sunday. If he’s available, he’s worth a waiver wire pick up….
