[My Take]
More Football news and happenings from aroudn the league; here's the latest I am hearing, reading, and following and my take on things and their fantasy impact this coming Sunday...
Player News and Notes from
Across the Wire...
Quinn to Start for Browns....
The Brown's head coach Eric Magini has announced that he will go with Brady Quinn on Monday night against the Ravens. It probable won't matter who plays, because neither quarterback has played well in 2009, but the benching of Anderson and Magini's endorsement to stick with Quinn the remainder of the season could signal the end of Anderson's tenure in Cleveland. With the league's worst passer rating, he's going to have a tough time finding work elsewhere.
Favre Feeling Better after Bye....
Unlike his stint in New York a year ago, coming off the bye Brett Favre is feeling better and his groin injury seems to be healing well. At 7-1 coming off the bye, with a well rested Favre under center against the Lions this Sunday the Vikings appear poised to seize control of the North and make their run toward the postseason. Last year at this time Favre had 15 touchdowns and 12 picks, this season his ratio (TD-Int) is 16-3.
Edwards expected to Start for Bills....
The Bills quarterback Trent Edwards will return to the starting lineup this Sunday agasint the Titans. The teams passing offense is ranked 30th in the league and is in desperate need of a lift. Edwards has only five touchdown passes to six interceptions this season in six starts.
Owens nursing injury, questionable?.....
The Bills deep passing threat Terrell Owens missed practice on Wednesday and is experiencing bothersome pain in his hip. He was unable to go full-speed, but will test the hip on Thursday. He is currently considered questionable for Sunday against the Titans.
Bears-Niners get ready for Thursday night.....
It's not the battle of Midway, but with Singletary set to face his former team this matchup should be good. Running back Frank Gore coming off a 158 total yards performance with a score could be key against the Bears 21st ranked run defense. Last Sunday the Bears were steam-rolled for 182 net yards rushing by the Arizona Cardinals.
Colston under the weather.....
The Saints fantasy stud receiver Marques Colston skipped practice Wednesday due to the flu according to the New Orleans Times-Picayune. Reports its not the swine, so with rest Colston who leads the team with six receiving touchdowns should be back for Sunday against the Rams 23rd ranked pass defense.
Jackson playing among the elite....
The Rams may not be winning this season, but that's not stopping their running back Steven Jackson from having a solid season rushing the ball. Jackson ranks second in the league with 970 total yards (784 rushing, 186 receiving). With the Saints 19th ranked run defense next he should eclipse the 1,000 yard barrier with ease.
