| 1. | 49ers | Singletary does not think spread helped comeback | (KFFL) Matt Maiocco, of The Santa Rosa Press Democrat, reports San Francisco 49ers head coach Mike Singletary said he does not think the team using the shotgun formation and spreading the field was the reason for their comeback in Week 11. "I think that's a combination of a number of things," Singletary said. "Sometimes when you get behind, the defense is playing a different kind of defense. I think they relax a little bit. It's a different coverage. I think if you're in basic two-back set, you probably get the same result. But I think (QB Alex D. Smith) can throw the ball, and I think he can throw the ball well. I think our offensive line did a decent job. Onc... (More) | less than a minute | |
| 2. | Redskins | Mason, Fanaika signed | (KFFL) ESPN's Adam Schefter reports the Washington Redskins signed free-agent RB Marcus Mason (Redskins) and OG Paul Fanaika (Eagles) Monday, Nov. 23. Terms of the deals were not disclosed. | 2 minutes | |
| 3. | Broncos | R. Harris misses practice Monday | (KFFL) Bill Williamson, of ESPN.com, reports Denver Broncos OT Ryan Harris (toe) did not practice Monday, Nov. 23, and has not played since Nov. 1. | 4 minutes | |
| 4. | Broncos | Dawkins misses practice Monday | (KFFL) Bill Williamson, of ESPN.com, reports Denver Broncos FS Brian Dawkins (neck) did not practice Monday, Nov. 23, and is in danger of missing the team's Week 12 game Thursday, Nov. 26. | 4 minutes | |
| 5. | Broncos | Orton practices in full Monday | (KFFL) Bill Williamson, of ESPN.com, reports Denver Broncos QB Kyle Orton (ankle) practiced in full Monday, Nov. 23, and appears on his way to starting against the New York Giants in Week 12 Thursday, Nov. 26. | 5 minutes | |
| 6. | Steelers | Roethlisberger appears to be fine | (KFFL) Ed Bouchette, of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, reports Pittsburgh Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger (concussion) "seems to be fine" after taking a blow to the head in Week 11, according to a source. He underwent tests Monday, Nov. 23, and appears to be fine to start in Week 12. Team officials are optimistic about Roethlisberger's health and will not pursue a veteran quarterback to serve as his backup with QB Charlie Batch (wrist) out. Instead, they will look to sign a young quarterback to add to their practice squad. QB Dennis Dixon will serve as Roethlisberger's backup. | 10 minutes | |
| 7. | Redskins | Landry said Williams was scared of him Week 11 | (KFFL) Matt Terl, of Redskins.com, reports Washington Redskins SS LaRon Landry broke up a number of passes in Week 11 and said he could tell Dallas Cowboys WR Roy Williams was scared of him during the game. When asked how he knew Williams was scared of him during the game, Landry replied: "Certain pass concepts they had. Certain routes he ran, you could tell he didn't want any part of it." | 35 minutes | |
| 8. | Rams | Jackson banged up | (KFFL) Mike Sando, of ESPN.com, reports St. Louis Rams RB Steven Jackson (back) is experiencing soreness in his lower back after Week 11. Head coach Steve Spagnuolo called Jackson's injury a "muscle strain" and did not sound serious about the injury. | 36 minutes | |
| 9. | Rams | J. Smith undergoing tests | (KFFL) Mike Sando, of ESPN.com, reports St. Louis Rams OT Jason Smith (concussion) is undergoing tests Monday, Nov. 23, after suffering a potential concussion in Week 11. | 36 minutes | |
| 10. | Rams | Little undergoing X-rays | (KFFL) Mike Sando, of ESPN.com, reports St. Louis Rams DL Leonard Little (back) is undergoing X-rays on his lower back Monday, Nov. 23. | 36 minutes | |
| 11. | Rams | Karney to undergo MRI | (KFFL) Mike Sando, of ESPN.com, reports St. Louis Rams FB Mike Karney (neck) is undergoing an MRI for a potential neck injury Monday, Nov. 23. | 37 minutes | |
| 12. | Rams | Bulger may not play in Week 12 | (KFFL) Mike Sando, of ESPN.com, reports St. Louis Rams QB Marc Bulger (hamstring, head, knee) might not play against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 12 after suffering multiple injuries in Week 11. He suffered a strain to his "groin-hamstring" area and a blow to the head. Bulger will undergo tests for a possible concussion Tuesday, Nov. 24. He also awoke Monday, Nov. 23, with swelling in his knee, and will undergo an MRI Monday. | 37 minutes | |
| 13. | LeSean McCoy | (RotoWire) McCoy ran for 99 yards and a touchdown on 22 carries in the Eagles' win Sunday. Analysis: McCoy was surprisingly shut out in the passing game and also lost a fumble, but his 5.0 YPC was impressive, as was his ability to dominate the team's workload. He's a must-start as long as Brian Westbrook (concussion) remains sidelined, which could be the rest of the season. | 44 minutes | |
| 14. | Donovan McNabb | (RotoWire) McNabb completed 23-of-32 passes for 244 yards and two touchdowns in the Eagles' win over the Bears on Sunday. Analysis: McNabb was also picked off once but finished with a strong YPA (7.6) and QB rating (101.6) against an inconsistent Chicago secondary. He faces the Redskins at home in Week 12. | 46 minutes | |
| 15. | Dolphins | Ferguson to IR | (KFFL) ESPN.com reports the Miami Dolphins placed DL Jason Ferguson (quadriceps) on the Injured Reserve list Monday, Nov. 23, ending his season. | 47 minutes | |
| 16. | Lynch considered day-to-day | (TheHuddle) BuffaloBills.com reports Buffalo Bills interim head coach Perry Fewell said RB Marshawn Lynch (shoulder) is considered day-to-day after injuring his shoulder in Week 11. Analysis: It's a surprise Lynch is considered day-to-day and not, at the very least, questionable for Week 12 after having to be carted off the field against the Jaguars. This week the Bills play the Dolphins, who will be without NT Jason Ferguson and will have a weakened run defense. We still have doubts about Lynch's availability. If he can't go, Fred Jackson's Fantasy value should increase significantly. | 49 minutes | |
| 17. | Jairus Byrd | (RotoWire) Although Byrd started on Sunday, he was limited to playing mostly on passing downs due to an injured groin, The Buffalo News reports. Analysis: Byrd's five-game streak with an interception came to a halt, and he was held to two total tackles. Watch Byrd's practice status this week; he'll still probably play, but it's easy for the Bills to adjust if he needs to be limited because Donte Whitner is close to full health again. | 49 minutes | |
| 18. | Redskins | Will re-sign Mason | (KFFL) Jason La Canfora, of the NFL Network, reports the Washington Redskins will re-sign free-agent RB Marcus Mason. | 49 minutes | |
| 19. | Ravens | F. Washington likely has torn ACL | (KFFL) Scout.com's Adam Caplan reports Baltimore Ravens CB Fabian Washington (knee) likely suffered a torn ACL in Week 11, according to head coach John Harbaugh. CB Lardarius Webb is expected to start in Washington's place. | 49 minutes | |
| 20. | Brian Leonard | (RotoWire) Leonard had 13 carries for 36 yards on Sunday against the Raiders and was the running back in third down and short-yardage situations. Analysis: Unfortunately for Leonard, that didn't translate into any scoring, as quarterback Carson Palmer ran for short touchdowns, once after Leonard got it to just short of the goal line. | 52 minutes | |
| 21. | Bernard Scott | (RotoWire) Scott had 21 carries for 119 yards and three catches for 32 yards in Sunday's loss to the Raiders. Analysis: The downside was that Brian Leonard was nearly exclusively the third down back and got all the short-yardage carries, including at the goal line. | 58 minutes | |
| 22. | Domata Peko | (RotoWire) Peko suffered a sprained MCL in Sunday's loss to the Browns, Cnati.com reports. Analysis: Peko will almost certainly miss some practice this week - the Bengals regularly bench anyone with even a minor injury on Wednesdays. The team's training staff has ordered a custom brace for Peko. | 1 hour | |
| 23. | Bills | Fewell undecided on starting QB for Week 12 | (KFFL) Chris Brown, of BuffaloBills.com, reports Buffalo Bills interim head coach Perry Fewell said he has not decided whether QB Trent Edwards or QB Ryan Fitzpatrick will start in Week 12. | 1 hour | |
| 24. | Bills | McCargo considered day-to-day | (KFFL) Chris Brown, of BuffaloBills.com, reports Buffalo Bills interim head coach Perry Fewell said DT John McCargo (calf) is considered day-to-day after injuring his calf in Week 11. | 1 hour | |
| 25. | Bills | Lynch considered day-to-day | (KFFL) Updating a previous report, Chris Brown, of BuffaloBills.com, reports Buffalo Bills interim head coach Perry Fewell said RB Marshawn Lynch (shoulder) is considered day-to-day after injuring his shoulder in Week 11. | 1 hour | |
| 26. | Bills | McKinney to miss rest of season | (KFFL) Chris Brown, of BuffaloBills.com, reports Buffalo Bills OG Seth McKinney (knee) will miss the rest of the season after suffering a knee injury in Week 11. He will be placed on Injured Reserve. | 1 hour | |
| 27. | Ferguson will miss rest of the season | (TheHuddle) MiamiDolphins.com reports Miami Dolphins head coach Tony Sparano said DT Jason Ferguson (quadriceps) will miss the rest of the season after suffering a quadriceps injury in Week 11. He will be placed on Injured Reserve. Analysis: Ferguson is a large part of the Dolphin run defense. Without him, that unit will probably weaken significantly. | 1 hour | |
| 28. | Percy Harvin | (RotoWire) Harvin took big hits on his side from two Seattle defenders on a 25-yard catch in the third quarter of Sunday's win over Seattle, the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports. "It was kind of like a hip pointer, but as I walked it off, it was fine," Harvin said. Analysis: This doesn't sound like a big deal, but since the Pioneer-Press reported it, it will be worth tracking Harvin's status once the Vikings' return to practice. | 1 hour | |
| 29. | Panthers | Gross broke leg, not ankle Week 11 | (KFFL) The Associated Press reports Carolina Panthers OT Jordan Gross (leg) suffered a broken leg in Week 11, not a broken ankle as the team first announced. Gross said he believes that he will be fine for next season. | 1 hour | |
| 30. | Chike Okeafor | (RotoWire) Okeafor (back) should return to practice this week, the Cardinals' official site reported after head coach Ken Whisenhunt's Monday press conference. Analysis: If things go well this week, Okeafor should be able to return from a two-game absence in Week 12. | 1 hour | |
| 31. | Matt Leinart | (RotoWire) Leinart's teammate Kurt Warner (head) is expected to play in Week 12 at Tennessee, the Cardinals' official site reported after head coach Ken Whisenhunt's Monday press conference. Analysis: While an official decision is probably at least a few days away, it sounds like Warner will be in the starting lineup and Leinart will be on the bench in Week 12. Leinart is receiving widespread criticism for the fact that he was unable to lead the Cardinals to any points in more than two quarters of Week 11 action. Whisenhunt defended Leinart on Monday and said that he called conservative plays to defend an 18-point lead and avoid turnovers and lost yardage. Also, two of Le... (More) | 1 hour | |
| 32. | Cowboys | Gordon re-signed | (KFFL) The Associated Press reports the Dallas Cowboys have re-signed free-agent CB Cletis Gordon. Terms of the contract were not disclosed. | 1 hour | |
| 33. | Charles Godfrey | (RotoWire) Godfrey (ankle) could play on Sunday against the Jets, the Gaston Gazette reports. Analysis: He may not get his starting job back with Sherrod Martin playing so well during his four-game absence, but Godfrey could be back to contribute on special teams and as a backup free safety in Week 12. | 1 hour | |
| 34. | Cowboys | Rossum released | (KFFL) The Associated Press reports the Dallas Cowboys have released CB Allen Rossum. | 1 hour | |
| 35. | Kurt Warner | (RotoWire) Warner (head) is expected to play in Week 12 at Tennessee, the Cardinals' official site reported after head coach Ken Whisenhunt's Monday press conference. Analysis: He will undergo a baseline test (probably on Tuesday) as a formality. At this point, the Cardinals are terming Warner's injury "concussion-like symptoms" instead of an official concussion. Warner is adamant that he plans to play in Week 12, although that won't be official for at least a few more days. | 1 hour | |
| 36. | Dolphins | Ferguson will miss rest of the season | (KFFL) Andy Kent, of MiamiDolphins.com, reports Miami Dolphins head coach Tony Sparano said DT Jason Ferguson (quadriceps) will miss the rest of the season after suffering a quadriceps injury in Week 11. He will be placed on Injured Reserve. | 1 hour | |
| 37. | Steelers in contact with Jeff Garcia | (TheHuddle) 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. Analysis: Pittsburgh has talked to Garcia and Cleo Lemon, and will likely contact any other former NFL quarterback with a pulse as they scramble to add a QB to their roster. As of now, there's a very good chance the Steelers will have to roll with Dennis Dixon as their starter this week against Baltimore. On the road. If that's the case, the Fantasy value of all Steelers will crater. | 1 hour | |
| 38. | Hall could miss Week 12 | (TheHuddle) 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.' Analysis: If Hall is out, and Albert Haynesworth remains out, the Philadelphia passing game will be that much more dangerous as the Redskins come to town. | 1 hour | |
| 39. | Cooley out longer | (TheHuddle) 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. Analysis: If you've kept a roster spot open for Cooley in hopes that he'd return in time to help your Fantasy playoff push, it looks like it's time to cut him and look for a free agent. It doesn't appear Cooley will be returning anytime soon, and he may not return until next season. | 1 hour | |
| 40. | 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. | 1 hour | |
| 41. | Mike McKenzie | (RotoWire) The Saints have re-signed McKenzie, the New Orleans Times-Picayune reports. Analysis: He gives the Saints some cornerbcak depth in the wake of injuries injuries to the likes of Tracy Porter, Jabari Greer, Randall Gay and Leigh Torrence. | 1 hour | |
| 42. | 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. | 1 hour | |
| 43. | 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. | 1 hour | |
| 44. | R. Williams taking care of his body | (TheHuddle) 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 visualize hi... (More) | 1 hour | |
| 45. | 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. | 1 hour | |
| 46. | 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. | 1 hour | |
| 47. | 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. | 1 hour | |
| 48. | Bush expected to play in Week 12 | (TheHuddle) ESPN reports New Orleans Saints RB Reggie Bush (knee) is expected to play in Week 12. Analysis: Bush's return will likely mean significantly reduced carries for Mike Bell, and somewhat reduced carries for Pierre Thomas. However, Bell could get the goal line carries as he did in Week 11 against Tampa Bay. | 1 hour | |
| 49. | Harris, Kampman to undergo surgery | (TheHuddle) ESPN.com reports Green Bay Packers CB Al Harris (knee) and LB Aaron Kampman (knee) will both undergo season-ending knee surgeries. Analysis: Calvin Johnson and Kevin Smith are beginning to look a lot better in terms of Fantasy starts this week as the Lions host the suddenly severely depleted Green Bay defense. | 1 hour | |
| 50. | Kurt Warner misses second half due to apparent concussion | (FFToolbox) Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kurt Warner was on the sidelines with the rest of the team at the start of Sunday's second half against the St. Louis Rams. Unfortunately for Warner's owners, that's where he stayed for the remainder of the game. Warner was pushed to the ground late in the first half and his head hit the turf hard. Although he stayed in the game until the end of the subsequent drive, he was taken to the locker room before the half. He then stayed in uniform for the second half, without a helmet on, and watched backup quarterback More) | 1 hour | |
| 51. | 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. | 1 hour | |
| 52. | 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. | 2 hours | |
| 53. | 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. | 2 hours | |
| 54. | 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. | 2 hours | |
| 55. | 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. | 2 hours | |
| 56. | 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." | 2 hours | |
| 57. | 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. | 2 hours | |
| 58. | 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. | 2 hours | |
| 59. | 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. | 2 hours | |
| 60. | 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. | 2 hours | |
| 61. | Ladell Betts tears knee ligaments; Clinton Portis already ruled out | (FFToolbox) ACL are arguably the three most dangerous letters in sport. Whenever you hear "ACL", it's almost never for a positive reason. Washington Redskins running back Ladell Betts heard that trio Sunday and the news is not good. Betts tore an ACL and MCL in the first quarter of Sunday's game against Dallas. Not only is he out for this year, but he almost certainly won't be at full strength when next season starts. He had just four carries for five yards before suffering the injury. Betts was starting in place of Clinton Portis, who was ruled ou... (More) | 2 hours | |
| 62. | 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) | 2 hours | |
| 63. | 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. | 2 hours | |
| 64. | 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. | 2 hours | |
| 65. | 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. | 2 hours | |
| 66. | 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) | 2 hours | |
| 67. | 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. | 2 hours | |
| 68. | 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. | 2 hours | |
| 69. | 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. | 2 hours | |
| 70. | 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. | 3 hours | |
| 71. | 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. | 3 hours | |
| 72. | 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. | 3 hours | |
| 73. | 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. | 3 hours | |
| 74. | 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. | 3 hours | |
| 75. | 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. | 3 hours | |
| 76. | 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. | 3 hours | |
| 77. | 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. | 3 hours | |
| 78. | 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. | 3 hours | |
| 79. | 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. | 3 hours | |
| 80. | 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. | 3 hours | |
| 81. | 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. | 3 hours | |
| 82. | 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. | 3 hours | |
| 83. | 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. | 3 hours | |
| 84. | 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. | 3 hours | |
| 85. | 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. | 3 hours | |
| 86. | 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. | 3 hours | |
| 87. | 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. | 3 hours | |
| 88. | 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. | 3 hours | |
| 89. | 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. | 3 hours | |
| 90. | 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. | 3 hours | |
| 91. | 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. | 3 hours | |
| 92. | 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. | 3 hours | |
| 93. | 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. | 3 hours | |
| 94. | 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) | 3 hours | |
| 95. | 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. | 3 hours | |
| 96. | 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. | 3 hours | |
| 97. | 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. | 3 hours | |
| 98. | 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. | 3 hours | |
| 99. | 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. | 3 hours | |
| 100. | 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. | 3 hours |
