Sunday Morning Gametime
Today’s injury notes
The Charger’s have not ruled Antonio Gates out of today’s game just yet. He is expected to test his ankle during warm-ups this morning, so there’s a chance he will play.Officially Gates is listed as questionable.
The Saints running back Reggie Bush (leg) is still not quite 100 percent, but he is a full-go and will play today against the Bengals. Last week Bush showed a lot of rust returning to action fumbling the ball away once during the Saints win over the Cowboys.
The Vikings may be without one of their playmakers today; Percy Harvin. Harvin has been battling migraines all week and it is likely he could be inactive today as a result; make sure to check the inactive reports.
The Vikings running Arian Peterson is a big question mark for today, but he was out on the field during warm-ups testing the ankle. It appears he’s not 100 percent, but may try to give it a go.
The Saints will be without running back Pierre Thomas (ankle) who will be inactive. The reports all week had been indicating he would likely sit today, but Thomas does sound like a good shot to play next week.

Today’s Matchup
The Vikings secondary has had its struggles this season with covering and tackling. The Bills wide receiver Stevie Johnson is a star on the rise. I like his matchup today against the Viking’s corners and expect quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick to target him repeatedly today. Look for a big game from Johnson.
The Lions may be making a change at quarterback going with Drew Stanton, but that should not hurt Calvin Johnson fantasy owners. Back in week six earlier this season, Stanton played most of the game for the Lions and Johnson blew up for 146 yards, three of Johnson’s receptions came from Stanton for 102 yards. Stanton may be the backup, but he’ll know where to go with the ball, Johnson owners can expect a solid outing.
The Seahawks defense has struggled with the ground game this season allowing 11 rushing touchdowns this season. Today running back Jonathan Stewart will get his crack at the Seahawks. Last week Stewart returned to action and looked very good rushing 12 times for 98 yards. He should see a hefty share of carries and could have a productive day carrying the pill; start him.
