[My Take]
More football news and happenings from around the league; here’s the latest I am hearing, reading, and following with my take on things and how they will impact the coming fantasy season……
Player News From Across the Wire...
Braylon Edwards, WR, New York Jets
Braylon Edwards was limited in practice for the second straight day Thursday, according to NFL.com. He is dealing with a quadriceps ailment.
My Fantasy read on Edwards: If the Jets receiver is less than 100 percent, he could be more than a tough start this week matching up with the Raider’s shutdown corner Nnamdi Asomugha……
Rashard Mendenhall, RB, Pittsburgh Steelers
Rashard Mendenhall fully practiced Thursday, according to NFL.com. He was limited yesterday while dealing with a knee ailment.
My Fantasy read on Mendenhall: There appears to be a changing of the guard in Pittsburgh, even with Parker returning Mendenhall remains the starter. This week against the Vikes will be tough, but he’s still a worthy start….
Brian Westbrook, RB, Philadelphia Eagles
Eagles' beat writer Brian Seltzer is reporting that running back Brian Westbrook wants to carry the load for the team going forward. Westbrook feels like he will be more effective if the team gets rid of his rotation with LeSean McCoy.
My Fantasy read on Westbrook: Against the Raiders in week six Westbrook ran well, but was limited to only six carries. Now that he’s healthy, he could be in line for more work and bigger production….
Wes Welker, WR, New England Patriots
Wes Welker fully practiced for the second straight day Thursday, according to the Boston Globe.
My Fantasy read on Welker: The Patriot’s receiver appears to be over his knee problems and is a solid start every week. This Sunday against the Buccaneers could be another highly productive day….
Anquan Boldin, WR, Arizona Cardinals
According to the East Valley Tribune, Cardinals' wide receiver Anquan Boldin did some side work with a trainer on Thursday. Boldin might be able to practice on Friday, as his ankle looked much improved today.
My Fantasy read on Boldin: The Cards have a tough matchup on Sunday with the Giants, but after watching the Saints shred the G-men’s secondary, expect Arizona to follow the same blueprint. If healthy Boldin will play a big role, check Friday’s status…..
LaDainian Tomlinson, RB, San Diego Chargers
Updating an earlier report, LaDainian Tomlinson missed today's practice due to an illness, according to Kevin Acee's (San Diego Union-Tribune) twitter page.
My Fantasy read on Tomlinson: The Charger’s running back ran the ball well on Monday night, was just victim to playing from behind. Expect to see his workload increase in both the ground and air attack…..
Randy Moss, WR, New England Patriots
Randy Moss fully practiced for the second straight day Thursday, according to the Boston Globe.
My Fantasy read on Moss: The Patriots playmaking receiver is coming off a huge Sunday last week against the Titans. This week he’ll face a secondary that has surrendered 13 passing touchdowns this week; expect a big day….
Michael Turner, RB, Atlanta Falcons
Falcons' running back Michael Turner was limited in practice again on Thursday, according to the team's official website. Turner is dealing with a chest injury.
My Fantasy read on Turner: It doesn’t sound like Turner will miss this weekend, this Sunday he should be a solid start against the Cowboys 17th ranked run defense….
Tom Brady, QB, New England Patriots
Tom Brady fully practiced for the second straight day Thursday, according to the Boston Globe.
My Fantasy read on Brady: After watching Brady last weekend in the snow, this weekend should be a cruise in the warm Florida weather. He’s a must start every week…
