| # | Headline | Summary | Published | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1. | Chargers | Cromartie did not throw anything in bar fight | (KFFL) Updating a previous report, Kevin Acee, of the San Diego Union-Tribune, reports San Diego Chargers CB Antonio Cromartie did not throw a champagne bottle during a bar fight Monday, Nov. 23, according to sources. | less than a minute | |
| 2. | Buccaneers | Nunn signed | (KFFL) Ian Rapoport, of the Boston Herald, reports the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have signed WR Terrence Nunn off the New England Patriots' practice squad. Terms of the contract were not disclosed. | 7 minutes | |
| 3. | Albert Haynesworth | (RotoWire) Haynesworth, who missed Sunday's game with a sprained ankle, continues to work on the treadmill and might be able to return for Week 12's contest against Philadelphia, the Associated Press reports. Analysis: That's one bit of potentially good news for a Redskins' team that had a ton of injuries at the moment. | 8 minutes | |
| 4. | Steelers | Contact Garcia | (KFFL) Aaron Wilson, of the National Football Post, reports the Pittsburgh Steelers have contacted free-agent QB Jeff Garcia (Eagles) after losing QB Charlie Batch (wrist) to an injury, according to a source. | 11 minutes | |
| 5. | Steelers | Contact Lemon | (KFFL) Jason La Canfora, of the NFL Network, reports the Pittsburgh Steelers have contacted free-agent QB Cleo Lemon (Ravens) after losing QB Charlie Batch (wrist) to an injury, according to a source. | 12 minutes | |
| 6. | Chris Cooley | (RotoWire) In the wake of news that Cooley (ankle) will have to wear a protective boot for another 10 days, coach Jim Zorn said the new timetable makes the tight end a candidate for IR, the Associated Press reports. Analysis: If you have the roster space, it might be worth holding on to Cooley just in case he can come back for the fantasy stretch run, but that's no longer looking especially likely, so a plan B is in order. | 13 minutes | |
| 7. | Ladell Betts | (RotoWire) Betts, who has damage to both the ACL and MCL in his left knee, will be placed on IR, the Associated Press reports. Analysis: It's officially time to cut bait with Betts, whose injury, coupled with Clinton Portis', will force the Redskins to start Rock Cartwright against the Eagles in Week 12. | 20 minutes | |
| 8. | Kellen Davis | (RotoWire) Davis caught two passes for 17 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's loss to the Eagles. Analysis: Davis saw more action Sunday because Desmond Clark missed the game with a neck injury. Davis will continue to see extended time if Clark is unable to return for next Sunday's game against the Vikings, but isn't worth fantasy consideration with Greg Olsen as the team's clear-cut No. 1 tight end. | 22 minutes | |
| 9. | Saints | McKenzie signs | (KFFL) ESPN.com reports the New Orleans Saints signed free-agent CB Mike McKenzie (Saints) Monday, Nov. 23. Terms of the deal were not disclosed. | 24 minutes | |
| 10. | Redskins | Still have confidence in Suisham | (KFFL) CSNWashington.com reports Washington Redskins head coach Jim Zorn said he still has confidence in PK Shaun Suisham after he missed two critical field goals in Week 11. "If the situation calls for a field goal, I'm going to call on him and I expect him to make it," said Zorn. | 29 minutes | |
| 11. | Redskins | Haynesworth working on treadmill | (KFFL) CSNWashington.com reports Washington Redskins DL Albert Haynesworth (ankle) is working on a treadmill to try and regain strength in his ankle. | 30 minutes | |
| 12. | Redskins | Hall could miss Week 12 | (KFFL) CSNWashington.com reports Washington Redskins CB Deangelo Hall (knee) could miss Week 12 with a knee injury. "He finished the game (with the injury)," head coach Jim Zorn said. "It's an MCL sprain and we'll see how fast we can get him back." | 30 minutes | |
| 13. | Lance Briggs | (RotoWire) Briggs had 11 tackles (10 solo) and a sack in Sunday's loss to the Eagles. Analysis: Briggs, a seven-year veteran, now has 82 tackles on the season, the ninth most in the NFL. | 30 minutes | |
| 14. | Redskins | E. Williams headed to IR | (KFFL) CSNWashington.com reports Washington Redskins FB Eddie Williams (leg) will be placed on the Injured Reserve list with a broken fibula, according to head coach Jim Zorn. Williams underwent surgery Monday, Nov. 23. | 31 minutes | |
| 15. | Redskins | Cooley out longer | (KFFL) CSNWashington.com reports Washington Redskins TE Chris Cooley (ankle) will stay in a protective boot for another 10 days, according to head coach Jim Zorn. Zorn has not ruled out placing Cooley on the Injured Reserve list. | 31 minutes | |
| 16. | Charles Tillman | (RotoWire) Tillman had seven tackles and forced three fumbles in Sunday's loss to the Eagles. Analysis: Obviously a huge game for Tillman, who now leads the NFL with six forced fumbles this season. | 35 minutes | |
| 17. | Dolphins | R. Williams taking care of his body | (KFFL) Barry Jackson, of The Miami Herald, reports Miami Dolphins RB Ricky Williams has been taking extreme pride in keeping his body healthy this year. He follows a vegetarian diet and also does daily breathing and meditation exercises. Williams goes through weekly acupuncture, massages and yoga sessions. He also takes part in pranic healing, an alternative medical treatment that originated in the Orient 4,000 years ago. "Ricky will send me a text message saying, for example, to work on his ankle," pranic healer Daniel O'Hara said. O'Hara will then "visualize Ricky's ankle as if he's standing in front of me. I visua... (More) | 43 minutes | |
| 18. | Saints | Ellis, Greer expected to play in Week 12 | (KFFL) Adam Schefter, of ESPN, reports New Orleans Saints DL Sedrick Ellis (knee) and CB Jabari Greer (groin) are both expected to play in Week 12. | 53 minutes | |
| 19. | Saints | Bush expected to play in Week 12 | (KFFL) Adam Schefter, of ESPN, reports New Orleans Saints RB Reggie Bush (knee) is expected to play in Week 12. | 53 minutes | |
| 20. | Saints | Planning to sign McKenzie | (KFFL) Adam Schefter, of ESPN, reports the New Orleans Saints are expected to sign free-agent CB Chris McKenzie (Texans), according to a source close to the situation. | 53 minutes | |
| 21. | Huge quarterback problems in Pittsburgh | (FFToolbox) The only positive that the Pittsburgh Steelers can take out of week 11 is that they didn't lost any ground in the AFC North. Otherwise, Sunday was a day to forget for Pittsburgh. Not only did they lose to the Kansas City Chiefs, but they also saw their top two quarterbacks go down with injuries. Ben Roethlisberger left the game during the overtime period with a "concussion-oriented thing," head coach Mike Tomlin said. Backup Charlie Batch took four snaps and somehow injured his wrist to the point where it needs surgery. He will be out fo... (More) | 1 hour | |
| 22. | Jim Leonhard | (RotoWire) Leonhard was in the starting lineup yesterday just six days removed from having surgery to insert three screws into his broken right thumb, the New York Post reports. Analysis: Leonhard, who was injured in the first quarter of the Jets' loss to the Jaguars last Sunday but finished the game, had the surgery on Monday and didn't practice until Friday. He played with a protective cast on his right hand and wrist and played defense, but didn't return punts. He had his hand examined after the game and was told he did no further damage. He recorded five solo tackles and five assisted tackles. | 1 hour | |
| 23. | Packers | Harris, Kampman to undergo surgery | (KFFL) ESPN.com reports Green Bay Packers CB Al Harris (knee) and LB Aaron Kampman (knee) will both undergo season-ending knee surgeries. | 1 hour | |
| 24. | Aaron Kampman | (RotoWire) Kampman will miss the remainder of the season after Monday's MRI results confirmed a torn ACL, Scout.com reports. Analysis: Monday's MRI results confirmed the loss of Kampman and cornerback Al Harris, which is terrible news for a Packers team poised to make a run at a Wild Card spot. Brad Jones is the likely replacement for Kampman, as Jones filled in for Kampman who sat out of last Sunday's game with a concussion. | 1 hour | |
| 25. | Al Harris | (RotoWire) Harris will miss the rest of the season after an MRI result confirmed a torn ACL, Scout.com reports. Analysis: This is bad news for the Packers defense, as they also lost Aaron Kampman to an ACL tear. The Packers defense will be scrambling for answers, especially going on short rest against Detroit on Thursday. | 1 hour | |
| 26. | Kevin Curtis | (RotoWire) Curtis (knee) is already being being ruled out for this week's game against the Redskins, the News-Journal reports. Analysis: Jeremy Maclin will remain the Eagles' starter at wideout opposite DeSean Jackson and that's not likely to change any time soon, even if Curtis is able to come back this season. | 1 hour | |
| 27. | Chris Cooley | (RotoWire) Cooley will have to remain in a walking boot for another 10 days, while keeping weight off of his injured ankle, the Washington Times reports. Analysis: Coach Jim Zorn called this a "setback" and with the Redskins' postseason hopes dwindling, Cooley could be shut down for the season, though that's certainly nothing imminent. We do know that at the very least, he'll miss one more game. | 1 hour | |
| 28. | Charles Johnson | (RotoWire) Johnson (chest) will miss Sunday's game against the Jets, CBS Sports reports. Analysis: He's hoping to return against the Bucs in Week 13. Everette Brown and Tyler Brayton will continue to see the bulk of the work opposite Julius Peppers against the Jets on Sunday. | 1 hour | |
| 29. | Jason Hanson | (RotoWire) Hanson hit a 31-yard field goal and was a perfect 5-of-5 on extra points on Sunday, including the game winner with no time remaining as Detroit slipped past Cleveland 38-37. Analysis: He'll be kicking in a dome again this week as the Lions host the Packers on Thursday. He should see some kicking opportunities if the Lions can move the balls against a banged up Packers defense. | 1 hour | |
| 30. | Tony Romo | (RotoWire) Romo (back) may be limited for the next few days in practice, but he is expected to play Thursday against Oakland, the Dallas Morning News reports. Analysis: As a result, Jon Kitna figures to see added practice reps and will be on hand in the event that Romo suffers any sort of setback. | 1 hour | |
| 31. | Will Heller | (RotoWire) Heller caught two passes for 12 yards on Sunday, but he did haul in a one-yard touchdown pass in the third quarter. Analysis: Although he has scored in each of his last two games, Heller has only topped 40 receiving yards once this season. He'll struggle to get targets as the #2 tight end in Detroit. | 1 hour | |
| 32. | Allen Rossum | (RotoWire) The Cowboys have released Rossum (hamstring), the Dallas Morning News reports. Analysis: Rossum figures to catch one somewhere as a return guy, once he proves he's past the hamstring injury that slowed him with the Cowboys. | 1 hour | |
| 33. | Kevin Burnett | (RotoWire) Burnett (ankle) had six tackles and two sacks in the win at Denver on Sunday. Analysis: Burnett had a good day and looks to be pretty much over the ankle injury that sidelined him for three weeks. | 1 hour | |
| 34. | Aaron Brown | (RotoWire) Brown had just one reception on Sunday, but it went for a 26-yard touchdown. Analysis: He's listed at running back, but he saw no rushing attempts and was used sparingly on Sunday. He's stuck behind Kevin Smith and Maurice Morris on the depth chart, so his touches will remain limited. | 1 hour | |
| 35. | Philip Rivers | (RotoWire) Rivers was 17-for-22 for 145 yards and one touchdown without a pick in Sunday's win at Denver. Analysis: It was not a huge game for Rivers, but he played smart, mistake free ball. On this afternoon, the running attack took center stage as the Bolts were able to rush for over 200 yards in this game. Rivers will probably put up some bigger statistics next week when the Chiefs come to town. | 1 hour | |
| 36. | Redskins | Update on Betts | (KFFL) Updating a previous report, The Associated Press reports Washington Redskins RB Ladell Betts (knee) is out for the season with damage to both his ACL and MCL in his left knee, according to head coach Jim Zorn. Betts will be placed on the Injured Reserve list. | 1 hour | |
| 37. | DeAngelo Hall to miss Week 12? | (Rotoworld) Redskins CB Deangelo Hall is in danger of missing Week 12 against the Eagles with a sprained knee. Analysis: Coach Jim Zorn assured reporters Monday that the injury is not season ending, but Hall's absence would be a big upgrade for Philadelphia's pass-first attack. On the season, Hall has four INTs, 43 tackles, and seven pass breakups. | 1 hour | |
| 38. | Malcom Floyd | (RotoWire) Floyd had four receptions for 38 yards but did not score a touchdown on Sunday at Denver. Analysis: This is exactly the type of production you can expect from Floyd on a weekly basis. There will be some weeks where he takes one of those cathces for a score, but expecting any significant numbers from him is simply not prudent at this point. | 1 hour | |
| 39. | Ben Roethlisberger | (RotoWire) The Steelers are unlikely to update the status of Roethlisberger (possible concussion) until coach Mike Tomlin's press conference Tuesday, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports. Analysis: On the plus side, Roethlisberger, who said after Sunday's game that he did not know whether he had sustained a concussion, was at the Steelers training facility Monday and seemed fine. More as we know it, but with Charlie Batch out with a wrist injury, Dennis Dixon now becomes Big Ben's primary backup, at least for now. | 1 hour | |
| 40. | Sebastian Janikowski | (RotoWire) Janikowski made 2-of-3 field goals and two extra points in the Raiders' victory over the Bengals on Sunday. Analysis: Janikowski has scored 22 points over his last three games and has hit a 50-yard field goal in each of the last two weeks. | 1 hour | |
| 41. | Brad Hoover | (RotoWire) Hoover (ankle) ran on Friday and Monday, while he's hoping to return to the lineup for Sunday's game against the Jets, Darin Gantt of the Rock Hill Herald reports. Analysis: The Carolina running game hasn't suffered too much with Tony Fiammetta handling Hoover's role at fullback. Hoover said he expects to know more about his chances of playing after Wednesday's practice. | 1 hour | |
| 42. | Kevin Smith | (RotoWire) Smith had a very solid day for the Lions on Sunday, racking up 45 yards on 12 carries. What's more impressive is what he did catching the ball out of the backfield, as he had four receptions for 104 yards and a touchdown. Analysis: The best news for Smith and fantasy owners alike is that Maurice Morris only saw two carries. If you don't count Matthew Stafford's three carries, Smith received 12 of the Lions 14 carries, a promising sign for owners who thought Smith was losing value. | 1 hour | |
| 43. | Calvin Johnson blows through double team... | (Rotoworld) Calvin Johnson caught seven balls for 161 yards and a score despite "all kinds" of bracket and double coverages from Cleveland in Week 11. Analysis: Kevin Smith's biggest game of the year also freed up the passing game to take shots downfield. Johnson beat the entire Browns defense on his 75-yard score. Assuming Matthew Stafford (left shoulder) is able to finish out the season, the Lions' offense has dangerous potential for the final six games. | 1 hour | |
| 44. | Jabari Greer | (RotoWire) The Saints expect Greer (groin) to be ready for their Week 12 game against the Patriots, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. Analysis: Healthy teams with good secondaries have a difficult time matching up with Randy Moss and Wes Welker most weeks, so the Saints will definitely benefit from having Greer back in the lineup on Monday night after he sat out the win over Tampa Bay on Sunday. | 1 hour | |
| 45. | Antonio Gates | (RotoWire) Gates had three receptions for 41 yards without a touchdown on Sunday at Denver. Analysis: It was a bit of a quiet game for Gates and the passing game as whole as the Chargers were able to pile up some impressive numbers on the ground in a runaway victory. | 1 hour | |
| 46. | Sedrick Ellis | (RotoWire) The Saints expect Ellis (knee) to be ready for their Week 12 game against the Patriots, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. Analysis: With Laurence Maroney running the ball well and helping to balance out the Patriots' offense this season, Ellis' presence would be a nice boost for the Saints in what figures to be a very difficult test for them on Monday night. | 1 hour | |
| 47. | Clinton Portis | (RotoWire) Coach Jim Zorn has already listed Portis (concussion) -- who won't play this coming Sunday -- as questionable for Week 13's game against the Saints, the Washington Times reports. Analysis: Portis is dealing with lingering vision problems that he has had since suffering a concussion on Nov. 8, so we expect the team to handle his situation with care. With Ladell Betts also out, it looks like the the Redskins will turn to Rock Cartwright, Quinton Ganther and perhaps Marcus Mason for the next couple of weeks, at least. | 1 hour | |
| 48. | Reggie Bush | (RotoWire) The Saints expect Bush (knee) to be ready for their Week 12 game against the Patriots, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. Analysis: Pierre Thomas and Mike Bell had little difficulty handling the running back duties against the Bucs on Sunday, but the Saints will need all hands on deck for a Monday night battle with the Patriots. | 1 hour | |
| 49. | Stafford questionable for Week 12 | (TheHuddle) ESPN reports that Detroit Lions QB Matthew Stafford's (shoulder) status for Week 12 is 'iffy.' Stafford is scheduled for additional tests Monday, Nov. 23. Analysis: "Iffy" may be an optimistic view. With the quick turnaround of a short week, and considering the amount of pain Stafford was in at the end of the Week 11 game, don't look for the rookie to make the start Thursday against the Packers. More than likely, Daunte Culpepper will get the nod. That doesn't mean there'll necessarily be a drop-off in offensive production, however. Calvin Johnson will still be worthy of a Fantasy start no matter ... (More) | 2 hours | |
| 50. | DeAndre Levy | (RotoWire) Levy recorded four solo tackles and four assisted tackles in Sunday's win over the Browns. Analysis: It's still unclear what role he will play once Ernie Sims returns to the lineup in the coming weeks, but Levy had a solid day after only recording three tackles against Minnesota the week before. | 2 hours | |
| 51. | Ladell Betts | (RotoWire) Coach Jim Zorn confirmed Monday that Betts has a torn MCL and a partially torn ACL in his left knee, the Washington Times reports. Analysis: With Clinton Portis already ruled out for this weekend's game against Philadelphia, Rock Cartwright, Quinton Ganther and fullback Mike Sellers are the only healthy ball-carriers on the Redskins' roster. As a result, the team is expected to to bring back Marcus Mason. As for Betts, he's likely headed for IR. | 2 hours | |
| 52. | Cowboys re-sign CB Gordon | (Rotoworld) Cowboys re-signed CB Cletis Gordon. Analysis: Dallas is thin because Alan Ball has taken over as the club's starting free safety with Ken Hamlin (high ankle sprain) out indefinitely. Gordon, 26, knows Wade Phillips' scheme and can immediately step in as a dime corner. | 2 hours | |
| 53. | Louis Delmas | (RotoWire) Delmas (tooth, jaw) had eight tackles (six solo, two assists) on Sunday as Detroit rallied past Cleveland 38-37. Analysis: Fantasy owners were happy to see Delmas in the lineup despite being hampered by a tooth and jaw infection. He played effectively and should be ready to go on short rest against the Packers on Thursday, but check the practice reports just just to be safe. | 2 hours | |
| 54. | Warner confident he will play in Week 12 | (TheHuddle) Updating a previous item, The Arizona Republic reports Arizona Cardinals QB Kurt Warner (head) is confident he will play in Week 12. 'I feel good. I think I'm going be just fine, but we'll take it day by day,' Warner said following Week 11. Warner will undergo neurological tests this week, which will be compared with baseline tests that every player undergoes before the season. Analysis: Warner is a must-start, obviously, if he plays, but we'll keep a close eye on his status throughout the week. It's a good sign that he thinks he can play, but he won't be making the final decision. | 2 hours | |
| 55. | Cowboys release DB Rossum | (Rotoworld) Cowboys released DB Allen Rossum. Analysis: Rossum, signed five weeks ago as return help, was hurt for the entirety of his stay on the roster. Patrick Crayton has settled in as the team's punt returner, with Felix Jones on kicks. Rossum, 34, is at the end of the line. | 2 hours | |
| 56. | Jeff Garcia | (RotoWire) With Charlie Batch out with a broken wrist and Ben Roethlisberger also banged up, Garcia is a potential depth option at quarterback for the Steelers. Analysis: He's one of a handful of players the team could consider, but with the possibility that Dennis Dixon may be the team's only healthy QB haeding into the weekend, the Steelers are likely to make a move. Garcia's last stint in the NFL came in September, when he gave the Eagles some QB insurance while Donovan McNabb was injured. | 2 hours | |
| 57. | Larry Foote | (RotoWire) Foote had 12 tackles (nine solo, three assists) including one sack on Sunday despite nursing a knee injury that he's been dealing with for two weeks. Analysis: The knee injury didn't seem to bother him too much, but the Lions have a short week as they host the Packers on Thursday. We'll update his status throughout the week to ensure that he's still healthy enough to play on short rest. | 2 hours | |
| 58. | Tony Romo expected to play | (Rotoworld) Tony Romo is fully expected to start on Thanksgiving against Oakland despite suffering a back injury in Week 11. Analysis: Beat writer Todd Archer speculates that Romo could be limited in practice early this week, but the Cowboys probably won't prepare Jon Kitna to play. Romo may have to take a pain-killing injection before the game, but he'll start. | 2 hours | |
| 59. | Kurt Warner's absence was precautionary? | (Rotoworld) NFL.com's Jason La Canfora calls Kurt Warner's absence from the second half of Sunday's win at St. Louis "precautionary." Analysis: This sounds right. The Rams were hardly threatening and Arizona's running game was clicking. Had the Rams evened the score late, Warner very possibly may have returned. The Cards were up by at least eight for the entire second half. Warner is a solid bet to return for Week 12 against Tennessee. | 2 hours | |
| 60. | McKenzie, Mike | FA | (SportsGrumblings) Saints to sign McKenzie? Analysis: The Saints are planning to sign former cornerback Mike McKenzie, according to a source close to the situation.<p> McKenzie played for the Saints last season but suffered a major knee injury that sidelined him the rest of the season. (ESPN.com) | 2 hours | |
| 61. | Haynesworth not sure of status | (Rotoworld) Redskins DT Albert Haynesworth (ankle) says he is unsure of his status for Week 12. Analysis: "It could be lot better," Haynesworth said. "It could be a lot worse." The Cowboys ripped Washington for 153 rushing yards with Haynesworth out of the lineup Sunday. Kedric Golston started in his place, and had no tackles. | 2 hours | |
| 62. | Saints' Bush, Ellis, Greer due back this... | (Rotoworld) ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that the Saints fully expect Reggie Bush (knee), Jabari Greer (groin), and Sedrick Ellis (knee) back for Week 12. Analysis: It appears that all three were held out of a winnable Week 11 game against the Bucs with an eye towards New England in Week 12. Getting Ellis back will be a major boost to the Saints' run defense. Greer has been the Saints' top cover corner, and will see a good deal of Randy Moss this week. Bush's return will help most on punt returns. He's only a bit player on offense. | 2 hours | |
| 63. | Batch, Charlie | Pit | (SportsGrumblings) Steelers QB Batch also out? Analysis: According to a report by ESPN, Batch suffered a wrist injury Sunday that will require surgery and sideline him for six weeks. | 2 hours | |
| 64. | Roethlisberger, Ben | Pit | (SportsGrumblings) Roethlisberger injured, to have tests Analysis: Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger "got his bell rung" and will go for further testing on Monday to determine if he suffered a concussion on Sunday, according to a league source.<p> Signs were positive that the injury was not a major setback, and Roethlisberger's status for Sunday's AFC North showdown at Baltimore will be determined later this week. (NFL.com) | 2 hours | |
| 65. | Report: Saints to re-sign Mike McKenzie | (Rotoworld) ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that the Saints are poised to re-sign free agent CB Mike McKenzie. Analysis: McKenzie, 33, received tryouts from the Texans and Seahawks towards the end of training camp, but never latched on. He fractured his kneecap last year and has endured a number of knee injuries over the last few seasons. | 2 hours | |
| 66. | Vincent Jackson | (RotoWire) Jackson had four receptions for 56 yards but did not score a touchdown in Sunday's win at Denver. Analysis: This marked the first time since Weeks 3 and 4 that Jackson had gone back-to-back games without scoring a touchdown. Defenses are starting to pay much more attention to Jackson lately, but he is still heavily involved in the offense and is by far the biggest threat to score week in and week out. Look for Jackson to rebound next week when the Bolts host the Chiefs. | 2 hours | |
| 67. | Report: Steelers contact free agent QB G... | (Rotoworld) The Steelers have reportedly contacted free agent Jeff Garcia about the possibility of signing with the team. Analysis: Pittsburgh is dealing with injuries to Ben Roethlisberger (concussion) and Charlie Batch (season-threatening wrist surgery), and will hold a QB tryout on Tuesday. Garcia was on the Eagles' roster earlier this season, appearing in one game. Rather than start Garcia or inexperienced third QB Dennis Dixon, look for the Steelers to push Roethlisberger to play against Baltimore. | 2 hours | |
| 68. | Vikings | Favre for MVP? | (KFFL) CBSSports.com reports Minnesota Vikings QB Brett Favre is No. 1 in the NFL in passer rating (112.1), No. 1 in fewest interceptions thrown (three), No. 2 in completion percentage (69.7) and No. 2 in touchdown passes (21). | 2 hours | |
| 69. | Williams will end up on injured reserve | (Rotoworld) Redskins FB Eddie Williams (broken fibula) will be placed on injured reserve, ending his season. Analysis: Williams was a special teamer and backup to Mike Sellers. It's not a big loss, but the Redskins' mile-long injury list is getting almost comical. Williams will try to get healthy enough to compete for a spot in 2010 training camp. | 2 hours | |
| 70. | Cooley will be in boot for 10 more days | (Rotoworld) Chris Cooley will be in his walking boot for another 10 days. Analysis: This is not promising news. Cooley is obviously out for Week 12 and would likely struggle to be ready for Week 13. Fred Davis will get at least two more starts. The Redskins are not expected to make a decision about placing Cooley on injured reserve until after the boot comes off. | 2 hours | |
| 71. | Roy Williams | (RotoWire) Williams failed to catch a pass in Sunday's 7-6 win over the Redskins. Analysis: The whole Cowboys' offense stunk in this one, but at least Miles Austin and Patrick Crayton managed to get their names into the box score. Williams is well on his way to becoming a huge bust in Dallas. | 2 hours | |
| 72. | Darren Sproles | (RotoWire) Sproles has nine carries for 26 yards and one reception for seven yards but did not score a touchdown in Sunday's win at Denver. Analysis: The Chargers were extremely effective running the ball in this game, but Sproles and Tomlinson were both on the sideline for much of the fourth quarter as the Bolts had a big lead. | 2 hours | |
| 73. | Packers confirm that Kampman, Harris are... | (Rotoworld) Packers coach Mike McCarthy confirmed that OLB Aaron Kampman and CB Al Harris are both out for the season with knee injuries. Analysis: Both defenders will be placed on injured reserve. It's a devastating blow to the Packers' defense, which was recently rounding into form but now loses two of its best players and leaders. Tramon Williams will step in for Harris, while late-round rookie Brad Jones is expected to play in Kampman's spot. | 2 hours | |
| 74. | Dolphins | Williams could play beyond 2010 | (KFFL) Barry Jackson, of the Miami Herald, reports Miami Dolphins RB Ricky Williams said he has not ruled out playing beyond the 2010 season. "I'm looking forward to my plans after football," Williams said recently. "But if it's the right situation, it would be difficult to turn down.'' Williams has been encouraged by pranic healing and the other ways to heal his body. | 2 hours | |
| 75. | Miles Austin | (RotoWire) Austin caught four passes for 47 yards Sunday. Analysis: He's been very quiet the last two weeks, but the whole Cowboys offense has been in a funk so don't assume he's on his way back to obscurity. Austin remains Tony Romo's most dangerous weapon. | 2 hours | |
| 76. | Peko says he'll be OK | (Rotoworld) Bengals NT Domata Peko says he is day to day with a strained MCL in his right knee. Analysis: There's a chance Peko could play against the Browns this week with a brace. He's a big part of the Bengals' run defense, although that unit won't be tested against Jamal Lewis and company. | 3 hours | |
| 77. | Marion Barber | (RotoWire) Barber had arguably his best game since Week 2 on Sunday, rushing 20 times for 99 yards. Analysis: He didn't get into the end zone, but he at least looked like his old bruising self again. With six games left on the schedule, Barber still has a chance to salvage his season. | 3 hours | |
| 78. | Gross actually broke his leg, not ankle | (Rotoworld) Panthers LT Jordan Gross revealed that he actually broke his tibia and fibula in his right leg. Analysis: It was originally thought that Gross broke his ankle. He has screws and plates holding his leg together, but this development shouldn't affect Gross' timetable. The Panthers' best offensive lineman should still be fine for next season's training camp. | 3 hours | |
| 79. | Greg Olsen | (RotoWire) Olsen caught six passes for 42 yards in Sunday's loss to the Eagles. Analysis: Olsen's good day could have been a great one had Jay Cutler not misfired on a likely touchdown pass to Olsen in the second quarter. Olsen's consistent production and impressive touchdown totals have made him a top-10 fantasy tight end this season. | 3 hours | |

| 88. | Smith doesn't want a full-time spread | (Rotoworld) Alex Smith said that going to a spread offense full time is not a realistic option.

Analysis: Tomlinson first bruised his hip November 8th against the Giants, but he doesn't seem to think the injury is all that serious. "It's still bruised," said Tomlinson. "Whenever I get hit or land it, I monitor it. But I don't think about it." Tomlinson knows that he has a healthy and capable backfield partner in Darren Sproles, so he frequently subs out of the game if the hip is acting up.

Analysis: Asomugha also added a tackle for loss and two passes defensed.
