The Erwin Invitational: Reloaded News Articles |
| # | Headline | Summary | Published | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1. | Giants | Manning practices Monday | (KFFL) Ralph Vacchiano, of the New York Daily News, reports New York Giants QB Eli Manning (heel) took part in the team's practice Monday, Nov. 23. | 1 hour | |
| 2. | Broncos | Jordan misses practice Monday | (KFFL) DenverBroncos.com reports Denver Broncos RB Lamont Jordan (back) did not practice Monday, Nov. 23. | 6 hours | |
| 3. | 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) | 7 hours | |
| 4. | 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) | 8 hours | |
| 5. | LaDainian Tomlinson | (RotoWire) Tomlinson had 20 carries for 73 yards and a touchdown on Sunday at Denver, but he missed parts of the game due to a hip injury that has been bothering him since Week 9, the San Diego Union-Tribune reports. 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. But it seems that it's not too much of a problem since his t... (More) | 11 hours | |
| 6. | LaDainian Tomlinson | (RotoWire) Tomlinson had 20 carries for 73 yards and a touchdown on Sunday at Denver, but he missed parts of the game due to a hip injury that has been bothering him since Week 9, the San Diego Union-Tribune reports. 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 healhty and capable backfield partner in Darren Sproles, so he frequently subs out of the game if the hip is acting up. But it seems that it's not too much of a problem since his t... (More) | 11 hours | |
| 7. | Williams laughs off 'knee injury' | (Rotoworld) DeAngelo Williams laughed off questions about his knee and was apparently unaware he was even on the injury report last week. Analysis: Williams' knee is not an issue. Even coach John Fox admitted that no one was buying the claim that his No. 1 running back was ever questionable for last week. Williams is a fine RB1 even in a tough matchup with the Jets this week. | 12 hours | |
| 8. | Tomlinson dealing with lingering hip inj... | (Rotoworld) LaDainian Tomlinson lost several snaps Sunday due to a lingering hip injury. Analysis: Tomlinson originally suffered the injury two weeks ago against the Giants. "It's still bruised," he said. "Whenever I get hit or land on it, I monitor it. But I don't think about it." Tomlinson has had his best two games of the season since sustaining the injury, so it shouldn't be a significant concern going forward. | 13 hours | |
| 9. | Matt Leinart | (RotoWire) While Leinart's teammate Kurt Warner (head) expects to play in Week 12, Kent Somers of the Arizona Republic isn't so sure. Analysis: Somers writes that he might err on the side of caution and keep Warner out a week, especially since the Cardinals have a three-game lead in the NFC West. This is pure speculation at this point. Warner will be evaluated by the Cardinals' medical staff and his Week 12 status should become clearer throughout the week. If Warner doesn't play, Leinart will be an interesting Week 12 option since the Cardinals have a high-powered offense that is averaging 25.0 points per game. Many observers are criticizing Leinart's Week 11 performance,... (More) | 14 hours | |
| 10. | London Fletcher-Baker | (RotoWire) Fletcher recorded 13 tackles, an interception and forced a fumble in Week 11. Analysis: Fletcher dropped a second interception early in the game. He leads the team with 103 tackles. | 1 day | |
| 11. | Michael Lewis | (RotoWire) Lewis led the 49ers with 11 tackles in Sunday's loss against the Packers. Analysis: Lewis continues to put up big numbers despite his problems with multiple concussions over the course of the season. He has totaled 54 tackles in nine games with an interception, forced fumble, and two pass deflections. | 1 day | |
| 12. | Clary carted off with ankle injury | (FFChamps) San Diego Chargers' tackle Jeromey Clary was carted off the field Sunday with a left ankle injury. Clary injured the ankle when a Bronco defender rolled up on his leg. He did not return to San Diego's 32-3 rout of division rival Denver. Analysis: In the post-game presser, coach Norv Turner alluded to Clary's injury potentially being of the significant variety. San Diego's offense is purring right now, but every chain is only as strong as it's weakest link...Brandyn Dombrowski is Clary's backup, and will most likely be the man who steps up and tries to avoid being that weak link. | 1 day | |
| 13. | Warner leaves with head injury | (FFChamps) Arizona Cardinals' quarterback Kurt Warner left today's game against the St. Louis Rams after taking a blow to the head in the second quarter. Before exiting, Warner completed 15-of-19 passes, for 203 yards and two scores. He did not return in the second half, and Matt Leinart finished 10-of-14 for 74 yards in mop-up duty in a 21-13 Cardinals victory. Analysis: The extent of Warner's injury is unknown at this point, but at the ripe ol' age of 38, Kurt's fantasy owners have to be holding their breath a little bit today. If you are a Warner ... (More) | 1 day | |
| 14. | Boldin has huge day at St. Louis | (Rotoworld) Anquan Boldin caught eight balls for 103 yards and a touchdown in the Cardinals' Week 11 win over St. Louis. Analysis: Boldin, healthier than every, now has back-to-back 100+ yard efforts. He was also highly efficient in this one, catching all but one of the balls thrown his way. Consider Boldin a borderline WR1 for Week 12 at Tennessee. | 1 day | |
| 15. | Leinart struggles after replacing Warner | (Rotoworld) Matt Leinart completed 10-of-14 passes for just 74 yards after replacing Kurt Warner (head) just before halftime in Week 11. Analysis: Leinart's throws were all over the place. The Cardinals hung on for the win only because their running back was so productive. He did not complete passes downfield, and the Cardinals will surely push Warner to play against the Titans in Week 12. Leinart at least didn't turn the ball over. | 1 day | |
| 16. | Anquan Boldin | (RotoWire) Boldin made eight receptions for 103 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's win over the Rams. Analysis: After sitting out in Week 9 to overcome a nagging ankle injury, Boldin has 16 catches for 208 yards in his last two games. A healthy Boldin is a candidate for a big game every week. | 1 day | |
| 17. | LT2 leads dominant rushing attack in vic... | (Rotoworld) LaDainian Tomlinson rushed 20 times for 73 yards and one touchdown to lead the Chargers past the Broncos in Week 11, 33-3. Analysis: The Chargers rushed 203 yards, and Tomlinson lost second-half playing time with the game out of hand. He was favoring his right leg at one point in the third quarter, but the injury didn't seem serious. Tomlinson has yet to top 100 yards on the season, but he's coming off two of his three best games of the season the past two weeks. He's worthy of RB2 consideration next week against the Chiefs. | 1 day | |
| 18. | Matt Leinart | (RotoWire) Leinart completed 10-of-14 passes for 74 yards in relief of Kurt Warner (head) on Sunday. Analysis: This was Leinart's most extensive regular-season action since early in the 2007 season. He came into the game late in the second quarter and guided the Cardinals the rest of the way. The Cardinals didn't ask Leinart to do too much, since they nursed a 21-3 halftime lead to a 21-13 victory. Warner's Week 12 status is uncertain and Leinart will be a compelling fantasy option if Warner is unable to play. | 1 day | |
| 19. | Reggie Wayne | (RotoWire) Wayne grabbed seven passes for 89 yards in Sunday's 17-15 victory at Baltimore. Analysis: Funny how an 89-yard performance can feel like a letdown, but that's how good of a season Wayne is having. | 1 day | |
| 20. | Eli throws for 383 yards in overtime vic... | (Rotoworld) Eli Manning completed 25-of-39 passes for 384 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception in Week 11 to lead the Giants past the Falcons in overtime, 34-31 Analysis: Eli was wobbly early -- and heard about it from the home crowd -- but he was practically flawless the rest of the way. It was amazingly Eli's first 300-yard performance at home, and the 384 yards are a career high. He's now posted two straight quality starts after a three-game funk in October. Eli is a borderline QB1 at Denver this Thursday. | 1 day | |
| 21. | Giants | Manning throws three TD passes Week 11 | (KFFL) The Associated Press reports New York Giants QB Eli Manning was 25-for-39 for a career-high 384 yards with three touchdown passes and an interception Week 11 against the Atlanta Falcons. | 1 day | |
| 22. | Wayne does his thing in win | (Rotoworld) Reggie Wayne caught seven passes for 89 yards in Sunday's win over the Ravens. Analysis: Wayne didn't get behind the Ravens secondary at all, but he was very effective on the sidelines. His routes are so precise that they are almost impossible to defend. He'll keep it going against the Texans next week as an obvious top-five option. | 1 day | |
| 23. | Kolby Smith | (RotoWire) Smith injured his ankle in Sunday's game against the Steelers, the Associated Press reports. Analysis: Jamaal Charles will get the bulk of carries Sunday, with Smith, who has just one carry for three yards, unavailable. | 1 day | |
| 24. | Kolby Smith leaves with ankle injury | (Rotoworld) Kolby Smith left Sunday's game against the Steelers with an ankle injury. Analysis: His return is questionable. Smith had just one carry for three yards before suffering the injury in the second quarter. | 1 day | |
| 25. | Falcons inactives for Week 11 | (FFChamps) The Atlanta Falcons have declared the following players as inactive for today's game against the New York Giants: RB Michael Turner, RB Jerious Norwood, WR Brian Finneran, LB Spencer Adkins, OT Garrett Reynolds, DT Trey Lewis, OL Quinn Ojinnaka, and third QB John Parker Wilson. Analysis: Jason Snelling will get the start at running back for the Falcons, and the answer to the question of how much time would be split between he and More) | 1 day | |
| 26. | Falcons RBs Norwood, Turner are both ina... | (Rotoworld) Jerious Norwood (hip) and Michael Turner (ankle) are both inactive for Week 11 against the Giants. Analysis: Norwood got some practice time in this week, but it wasn't enough to get him cleared for his usual duties. Jason Snelling will be an every-down back at New York. The Falcons' other inactives are WR Brian Finneran, LB Spencer Adkins, OT Garrett Reynolds, DT Trey Lewis, OL Quinn Ojinnaka, and third QB John Parker Wilson. | 1 day | |
| 27. | Breaston limited Friday, should play Sunday | (FFChamps) Arizona Cardinals' wide receiver Steve Breaston (knee) was limited in Friday's practice, but is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the St. Louis Rams. Analysis: Breaston should play, and the Cardinals will throw. The Rams' secondary gets torched on a regular basis, and this weekend should be no different. Breaston is a top-15 play at wideout this Sunday, and owners should insert him into their Week 11 starting lineups in all formats. | 2 days | |
| 28. | Garcon questionable, but practices fully | (FFChamps) Indianapolis Colts' wide receiver Pierre Garcon is listed as questionable to face the Baltimore Ravens in Week 11 because of his sore ankle, but practiced without restrictions again on Friday. Analysis: All indications are that Garcon is pretty much a lock to play this weekend against a once-feared Ravens' defense that will have a hard time stopping Peyton Manning and a presently-feared Colts' offense. Garcon practiced fully the last couple of days, and appears to be working through the ankle injury that kept him out of practice earlier in... (More) | 3 days | |
| 29. | 49ers | Eight expected to play Week 11 | (KFFL) Updating a previous item, Matt Maiocco, of the Santa Rosa Press Democrat, reports San Francisco 49ers WR Isaac Bruce (ankle, elbow), RB Glen Coffee (concussion), DT Demetric Evans (shoulder), S Michael Lewis (quadriceps), RB Michael Robinson (personal), S Mark Roman (knee), DT Justin Smith (back) and OT Adam Snyder (shoulder) are expected to play in the team's Week 11 game. | 3 days | |
| 30. | Turner doubtful | (FFChamps) Atlanta Falcons' running back Michael Turner is listed as doubtful for this Sunday's game against the New York Giants because of the high ankle sprain he sustained last week. He did not practice all week. Analysis: OK, Michael Turner isn't going to play. You heard it here first. Enough already. The only question for the Birds this weekend is whether Jerious Norwood will steal some of Jason Snelling's third-strin... (More) | 3 days | |
| 31. | Falcons' Michael Turner doubtful; Roddy White, Jerious Norwood questionable | (FFToolbox) Three of the Atlanta Falcons' more critical offensive skill players are at least questionable to play Sunday against the New York Giants. Running back Michael Turner is the most unlikely of the three to participate. He has not practiced since suffering a high right ankle sprain last Sunday and is listed as doubtful. Jason Snelling is expected to start in his place. Fellow backup running back Jerious Norwood was reportedly a "long shot" to play earlier in the week, but he pract... (More) | 3 days | |
| 32. | Broncos | Jordan, Harris out for Week 11 | (KFFL) Denver Broncos RB Lamont Jordan (back) and OT Ryan Harris (toe) did not participate in practice Friday, Nov. 20. They have been ruled out for Week 11. | 3 days | |
| 33. | LaMont Jordan | (RotoWire) Jordan (back) is listed as out for Sunday's game against the Chargers, the Broncos' official site reports. Analysis: The Broncos will continue to roll with Knowshon Moreno and Correll Buckhalter, who is listed as probable this week. | 3 days | |
| 34. | 49ers | Lewis practices in full Friday | (KFFL) Matt Maiocco, of the Santa Rosa Press Democrat, reports San Francisco 49ers SS Michael Lewis (quadriceps) practiced in full Friday, Nov. 20, and is probable for Week 11. | 3 days | |
| 35. | Giants | Manning probable for Week 11 | (KFFL) Ralph Vacchiano, of the New York Daily News, reports New York Giants QB Eli Manning (foot) fully participated in practice Friday, Nov. 20. He is listed as probable for Week 11 and will be able to play. | 3 days | |
| 36. | Giants | Manning probable for Week 11 | (KFFL) Ralph Vacchiano, of the New York Daily News, reports New York Giants QB Eli Manning (foot) fully participated in practice Friday, Nov. 20. He is listed as questionable for Week 11 and will be able to play. | 3 days | |
| 37. | Jerious Norwood | (RotoWire) Norwood (hip) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants, the New York Daily News' Ralph Vacchiano reports. Analysis: Norwood has missed about a month with this injury, so even if he plays, he'll likely be a distant second to Jason Snelling in terms of offensive touches. Michael Turner, who is listed as doubtful, is not expected to play. | 3 days | |
| 38. | Norwood questionable for Week 11 | (TheHuddle) The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports Atlanta Falcons RB Jerious Norwood (hip) participated in practice Friday, Nov. 20. He is listed as questionable for Week 11 and will be available. Analysis: Norwood will take some carries from Jason Snelling this week if Michael Turner can't play, and it looks like Turner will be out. However, Snelling will likely see most of the action this week against the Giants. | 3 days | |
| 39. | Norwood questionable | (Rotoworld) Jerious Norwood (hip) is listed as questionable for Week 11. Analysis: Norwood appears likely to make his first appearance since Week 6, but isn't a fantasy option against the Giants. He will be rusty after getting the last four games off and Jason Snelling figures to handle feature back duties. | 3 days | |
| 40. | Eli Manning | (RotoWire) Manning (foot) is listed as probable for Sunday's game against Atlanta, the Newark Star-Ledger reports. Analysis: Manning's foot may be healthier than it's been since the initial injury, and he has a terrific matchup against the Falcons' struggling pass defense. | 3 days | |
| 41. | Falcons | Norwood questionable for Week 11 | (KFFL) D. Orlando Ledbetter, of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, reports Atlanta Falcons RB Jerious Norwood (hip) participated in practice Friday, Nov. 20. He is listed as questionable for Week 11 and will be available. | 3 days | |
| 42. | Broncos | Jordan missed practice Thursday | (KFFL) Denver Broncos RB Lamont Jordan (back) did not participate in practice Thursday, Nov. 19. | 3 days | |
| 43. | DeAngelo Williams | (RotoWire) Williams (knee) rushed for 122 yards on 13 carries and picked up a two-point conversion in Thursday's loss to Miami. Analysis: The Panthers only handed the ball off 25 times, but Williams essentially shared the carries with Jonathan Stewart (12 carries, 43 yards). With extra rest, both backs should be able to rest their nagging injuries, perhaps returning the Carolina backfield to its regular 60-40 workload split favoring Williams in Week 12. | 3 days | |
| 44. | Panthers | D. Williams, J. Stewart active for Week 11 | (KFFL) Steve Reed, of CarolinaGrowl.com, reports Carolina Panthers DeAngelo Williams (knee) and RB Jonathan Stewart (Achilles') are active for the team's Week 11 game. | 3 days | |
| 45. | D-Will rushes for 122 yards in Week 11 | (Rotoworld) DeAngelo Williams rushed 13 times for 122 yards and added one reception for nine yards against the Dolphins in Week 11. Analysis: Averaging close to 10 yards a pop, an explosive Williams couldn't be stopped by a previous stout Dolphins run defense. Had the coaches not been trying to build confidence in Jake Delhomme, Williams could have threatened 200 yards. Having learned a valuable lesson, the Panthers will look to get the ball back in Williams' hands next week against the Jets. With six straight games over 100 total yards, he remains a must-start RB1. | 3 days | |
| 46. | Norwood practices for first time in a month | (FFChamps) Atlanta Falcons' running back Jerious Norwood practiced with the team for the first time in over a month, albeit on a limited basis. The Falcons' No. 2 back has been out since October 18th with a hip injury, and seems unlikely to play a significant role this Sunday against the New York Giants. With starter Michael Turner also likely being sidelined due to his high ankle sprain, third-stringer Jason Snelling should get the start in New York. Analysis: Norwood is an explosive back... (More) | 4 days | |
| 47. | 49ers | M. Lewis practices Thursday, will start Week 11 | (KFFL) Matt Maiocco, of the Santa Rosa Press Democrat, reports San Francisco 49ers S Michael Lewis (quadriceps) practiced in full Thursday, Nov. 19, and he will start Week 11. | 4 days | |
| 48. | Panthers inactives for Week 11 | (FFChamps) The Carolina Panthers have announced the following players as inactive for tonight's game against the Miami Dolphins: RB Mike Goodson, WR Kenneth Moore, S Charles Godfrey, FB Brad Hoover, OG Duke Robinson, DE Charles Johnson, DE Hilee Taylor, and QB A.J. Feeley. Analysis: Breathe easy...DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart, who were both listed as questionable, will play for the Panthers tonight. It's not an easy matchup against the seventh-ranked Dolphins run defense, but include them in your starting lineup if you would normally do so. | 4 days | |
| 49. | Panthers | D. Williams, J. Stewart active for Week 11 | (KFFL) Steve Reed, of CarolinaGrowl.com, reports Carolina Panthers DeAngelo Williams (knee) and RB Jonathan Stewart (Achilles') are active for the team's Week 11 game. | 4 days | |
| 50. | Falcons | Norwood limited Thursday | (KFFL) Updating a previous report, D. Orlando Ledbetter, of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, reports Atlanta Falcons RB Jerious Norwood (hip) was limited in practice Thursday, Nov. 19, and is likely to play in Week 11. | 4 days | |
| 51. | DeAngelo Williams | (RotoWire) Williams (knee) is expected to play Thursday against Miami, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. Analysis: We expected this outcome even after Williams missed Wednesday's practice, so this shouldn't come as a surprise if you've been following Williams' player notes. Check back about an hour before kickoff for final confirmation, but both Williams and backfield mate Jonathan Stewart are expected to play against the Dolphins. | 4 days | |
| 52. | Stewart expected to play | (FFChamps) Panthers running back Jonathan Stewart is expected to play in tonight's game against the Dolphins, according to a Tweet this afternoon from ESPN's Adam Schefter. Stewart is listed as questionable on the injury report because of his lingering Achilles' tendon injury; however, he is listed as questionable every week because of the ailment and keeps playing. Moreover, he practiced fully on Wednesday. Analysis: The Dolphins are stout against the run, but Stewart is an every-week threat to at least hit paydirt from short range. If he is typically in your fantasy lineup, don't let his misleading questionab... (More) | 4 days | |
| 53. | Williams expected to play | (FFChamps) Panthers running back DeAngelo Williams is expected to play in tonight's game against the Dolphins, according to a Tweet this afternoon from ESPN's Adam Schefter. Williams did not practice Wednesday beause of his sore knee and is listed as questionable for the game. Analysis: Williams was a game time decision this past Sunday after being listed as questionable, yet played the entire game. The Dolphins will be a tough matchup, but we suspect Schefter is right and that Williams will suit up. In most cases, unless you are loaded at running back, that means he should be in your fantasy lineup as well. | 4 days | |
| 54. | Norwood returns to practice Thursday | (TheHuddle) The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports Atlanta Falcons RB Jerious Norwood (hip) returned to practice Thursday, Nov. 19, after missing the last four games with an injured hip flexor. Analysis: Norwood's return to practice is a good indication he'll be able to play in Week 11 against the Giants and see a significant amount of action. Those who plucked Jason Snelling off the waiver wire assuming he'd get the vast majority of carries in Michael Turner's absence may be disappointed. | 4 days | |
| 55. | Falcons | Norwood returns to practice Thursday | (KFFL) D. Orlando Ledbetter, of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, reports Atlanta Falcons RB Jerious Norwood (hip) returned to practice Thursday, Nov. 19, after missing the last four games with an injured hip flexor. | 4 days | |
| 56. | Jerious Norwood | (RotoWire) Norwood (hip) was a limited practice participant Thursday, the Falcons' official site reports. Analysis: More on Norwood's status Friday, but Thursday's participation is a positive step for him after missing four straight games. Meanwhile, Michael Turner did not practice Thursday, which leaves Jason Snelling and Aaron Stecker as the Falcons' healthiest running back options heading into the weekend. | 4 days | |
| 57. | Williams will play Thursday | (Rotoworld) DeAngelo Williams (knee, questionable) is expected to play Thursday night, confirms ESPN's Adam Schefter. Analysis: Coach John Fox already acknowledged that Williams sat out practice on Wednesday just to rest. He's a full go and is a RB1 even against the solid Dolphins' run defense. | 4 days | |
| 58. | Jerious Norwood returns to Falcons pract... | (Rotoworld) Jerious Norwood (hip) returned to a limited practice Thursday. Analysis: This is Norwood's first practice since injuring his hip on Oct. 18. Even if he's active against the Giants Sunday, it's hard to see him having a major role. We're expecting Jason Snelling to start and get the majority of work. Aaron Stecker would be the No. 3 back. | 4 days | |
| 59. | Giants | Manning practices Thursday | (KFFL) Ralph Vacchiano, of the New York Daily News, reports New York Giants QB Eli Manning (foot) fully participated in practice Thursday, Nov. 19. He is expected to play in Week 11. | 4 days | |
| 60. | Norwood still very iffy for Week 11 | (FFChamps) According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Atlanta Falcons' running back Jerious Norwood is a "long shot" to play this weekend, when the team travels to New York to play the Giants. Analysis: Michael Turner's high ankle sprain has opened the door for another back in Atlanta to get some run.Norwood started the season as the Falcons' No. 2 option in the backfield, but he has missed the last four games with a hip flexor. That allowed Jason Snelling to step in last wee... (More) | 5 days | |
| 61. | 49ers | Seven practice in full Wednesday | (KFFL) Matt Maiocco, of the Santa Rosa Press Democrat, reports San Francisco 49ers WR Isaac Bruce (ankle, elbow), RB Glen Coffee (concussion), DL Demetric Evans (shoulder), S Michael Lewis (quadriceps), RB Michael Robinson (shoulder), S Mark Roman (knee) and OT Adam Snyder (shoulder) practiced in full Wednesday, Nov. 18. | 5 days | |
| 62. | Williams questionable for Thursday night | (FFChamps) Carolina Panthers' running back DeAngelo Williams is listed as questionable for Thursday night's game against the Miami Dolphins. Williams was questionable for Week 10, as well, but played a full compliment of snaps and showed no ill effects of his lingering knee injury in a victory over the Atlanta Falcons. Analysis: Williams averaged nearly 5.0 YPC on 17 carries last weekend, despite being a game-time decision. There were no reports of Williams tweaking the knee any further, and the fact that Carolina gave him a significant workload against the Falcons in Week 10 makes us think the knee isn't a hug... (More) | 5 days | |
| 63. | Falcons | Norwood misses practice Wednesday | (KFFL) Atlanta Falcons RB Jerious Norwood (hip) missed the team's practice Wednesday, Nov. 18. | 5 days | |
| 64. | Broncos | Three miss practice Wednesday | (KFFL) Denver Broncos S Josh Barrett (hamstring), OT Ryan Harris (toe) and RB Lamont Jordan (back) missed the team's practice Wednesday, Nov. 18. | 5 days | |
| 65. | Galloway worked out | (TheHuddle) Bengals.com reports the Cincinnati Bengals worked out free-agent WR Joey Galloway (Patriots) Tuesday, Nov. 17. Analysis: With the loss of wideout Chris Henry for the season, the Bengals are looking for a veteran replacement to complement Chad Ochocinco and Andre Caldwell. Galloway has certainly been a solid playmaker over his career and could provide the Bengals with a reciever worthy of big play potential for the remainder of the season if the team choses to sign him. | 5 days | |
| 66. | Bengals | Galloway worked out | (KFFL) Bengals.com reports the Cincinnati Bengals worked out free-agent WR Joey Galloway (Patriots) Tuesday, Nov. 17. | 5 days | |
| 67. | Jerious Norwood | (RotoWire) The Atlanta Journal-Constitution says Norwood "looks like a longshot" to play Sunday against the Giants. He did not practice Wednesday. Analysis: Neither Norwood nor Michael Turner has been ruled out, but all signs seem to point to Jason Snelling as the primary runner this week. Norwood has missed the last four games with the hip injury. | 5 days | |
| 68. | Report: Norwood a 'long shot' to face Gi... | (Rotoworld) According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Jerious Norwood (hip) "looks like a long shot" to be ready for Week 11. Analysis: Norwood just began running on back-to-back days, so his role will surely be extremely minor against the Giants if he's active. Jason Snelling says he is preparing to be Atlanta's featured runner with Michael Turner (high ankle sprain) almost certainly out. The Falcons may have just two backs active on game day: Snelling and 34-year-old special teamer Aaron Stecker. | 5 days | |
| 69. | Eli Manning | (RotoWire) Manning (foot) participated fully in practice Wednesday. Analysis: Count this as just another sign that Manning's foot is feeling better than it has in a while. He basically has a clean bill of health heading into Sunday's matchup with the Falcons, a game rife with NFC playoff implications. | 5 days | |
| 70. | Giants | Manning practices in full Wednesday | (KFFL) Mike Garafolo, of The Star-Ledger, reports New York Giants QB Eli Manning (foot) practiced in full Wednesday, Nov. 18. | 5 days | |
| 71. | Norwood misses practice | (Rotoworld) Jerious Norwood (hip) missed Falcons practice on Wednesday. Analysis: Norwood worked on the side as the rest of the team practiced, and coach Mike Smith is "hopeful" that the scatback will be able to return Wednesday. If Norwood is out, Jason Snelling will be an every-down back at New York. | 5 days | |
| 72. | Panthers | Williams questionable for Week 11 | (KFFL) Steve Reed, of CarolinaGrowl.com, reports Carolina Panthers RB DeAngelo Williams (knee) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Nov. 18. He is listed as questionable for Week 11. | 5 days | |
| 73. | Falcons | Hope Norwood could play in Week 11 | (KFFL) D. Orlando Ledbetter, of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, reports the Atlanta Falcons hope RB Jerious Norwood (hip) will be able to play in Week 11. | 5 days | |
| 74. | DeAngelo Williams | (RotoWire) Williams (knee) was held out of Wednesday's practice and is officially listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Dolphins, Darin Gantt of the Rock Hill Herald reports. Analysis: A couple of things to consider. First, the Panthers have been very liberal with the questionable tag this season. Second, Williams wasn't mentioned as a non-participant in practice earlier in the week. Third, Williams played in Week 10 after carrying a questionable tag and missing practice on Friday. We think he'll be able to play on Thursday night, but you'll want to check back about an hour before kickoff just to be certain. | 5 days | |
| 75. | DeAngelo Williams rests on Wednesday | (Rotoworld) Panthers coach John Fox acknowledged Wednesday that DeAngelo Williams (knee, questionable) sat out practice only to "rest." Analysis: Williams hasn't been limping and is playing well despite the alleged injury. Safely consider him a lock to lead Carolina in touches on Thursday night. | 5 days | |
| 76. | Bengals work out Joey Galloway | (Rotoworld) The Bengals worked out free agent WR Joey Galloway, DT Ed Johnson, and S Mike Doss on Tuesday. Analysis: If signed, Galloway would ostensibly fill Chris Henry's role on offense. Unfortunately, he no longer has Henry's talent. Johnson was effective in September, but the Colts cut him when he fell out of shape by mid-season. | 6 days | |
| 77. | Jerious Norwood | (RotoWire) Norwood (hip) may be the Falcons' starting running back if Michael Turner (ankle) is unable to play Sunday against the Giants, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Analysis: The Falcons' training staff is being very dodgy in their answers concerning Turner's availability for Sunday, but Norwood fantasy owners should keep in mind that he isn't at 100 percent either. Norwood has yet to practice the entire month of November on account of his injury and the birth of his son, and he's had a very sluggish start to the season anyhow, so you can't be too sure of starting him at this stage of the game. We'll try to have a more clear game plan for you as game d... (More) | 6 days | |
| 78. | DeAngelo Williams | (RotoWire) Williams (knee) hasn't appeared on the Panthers' injury report for Week 11. Analysis: The final report of the week will come out on Wednesday, but it's unlikely that Williams' name will be on it as anything other than probable as the knee issues that bothered him last week haven't resurfaced over the last couple of weeks. | 6 days | |
| 79. | Manning says again that foot is fine | (Rotoworld) Eli Manning re-iterated that the foot injury that bothered him early in the season is a non-issue as the Giants come out of their bye. Analysis: "That injury I think is kind of over and done with," Manning said. "A week off and not practicing and not putting any pressure on the body or the arm definitely helps, refreshes the whole body." Manning is more of a QB2 even in a plus matchup with the Falcons this week. | 6 days | |
| 80. | Mason Crosby | (RotoWire) Crosby was 1-for-2 on field goals and 2-for-2 on extra points in Sunday's win over the Cowboys. Analysis: Crosby pushed a 52-yarder to the left but rebounded by drilling a 48-yard attempt before halftime. He's still one of the top fantasy kickers available. | 7 days | |
| 81. | Turner has high ankle sprain | (FFChamps) Updating an earlier report, Falcons running back Michael Turner reportedly does have a high ankle sprain rather than just an ankle sprain. The high ankle sprain diagnosis is being reported by the Atlanta Journal Constitution. It is unknown how long he will be sidelined, but the Falcons have re-signed Aaron Stecker for running back depth. Analysis: Jerious Norwood is ready to return from the strained right hip flexor that has sidelined him the last four games. Norwood should be a... (More) | 7 days | |
| 82. | Norwood, Snelling to share carries? | (Rotoworld) The Atlanta Journal-Constitution writes that Jerious Norwood and Jason Snelling "would split carries" against the Giants in Week 11 if Michael Turner (high ankle sprain) is unable to play. Analysis: However, the paper also acknowledges that Norwood (hip strain) only began running last week. It's safe to assume that Snelling and Norwood would share the backfield equally if Norwood was healthy, but he hasn't played or practiced in a month. Snelling is a much better bet for fantasy production -- and goal-line carries -- even if Norwood returns to the field this week. | 7 days | |
| 83. | Jerious Norwood close? | (Rotoworld) According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Jerious Norwood (hip) is "close" to returning. Analysis: Norwood hasn't practiced or played in a month, so he's almost certainly not ready for a big role despite Michael Turner's high ankle sprain. Jason Snelling is a good bet to carry a close-to-full workload Sunday at the Giants. | 7 days | |
| 84. | David Harris | (RotoWire) Harris had nine tackles in Sunday's loss to the Jaguars. Analysis: Harris remains a quality IDP option, having racked up 74 tackles, 3.5 sacks, a forced fumble and an interception through nine games. | 7 days | |
| 85. | Jerious Norwood | (RotoWire) Coach Mike Smith said Monday that "we are certainly hoping Norwood (hip) will be back" for Sunday's game against the Giants, the Falcons' official site reports. Analysis: Norwood's status is suddenly key, in light of Michael Turner's ankle injury. It's been a tough season for Norwood, but there is a chance for him to carve out a role in the coming weeks along with Jason Snelling if Turner is forced to miss time, which seems likely at this point. | 7 days | |
| 86. | Michael Turner does have high ankle sprain | (FFToolbox) Atlanta Falcons stud running back Michael Turner does indeed have a high ankle sprain. Typically, a high-ankle sprain entails a recovery time of 4-6 weeks, but according to Jay Glazer of FOX Sports, the team is optimistic that Turner won't be shelved for as long as high ankle sprains usually keep players out because he doesn't have an extensive injury history. Turner ran for 111 yards on nine carries before he left the game with 9:08 left in the second quarter. He was replaced by Jason Snelling, who ran pretty well, albeit against a pret...

| 87. | Jon Beason | (RotoWire) Beason had eight tackles in the win over Atlanta on Sunday. Analysis: He's been racking up the high tackle counts of late, averaging 10 stops per game over the last three contests. The majority of Beason's fantasy value comes from his ability to get to the ball, as he's not utilized as a pass rusher from the middle linebacker spot. | 7 days | |
| 88. | Falcons | Week 10 Inactives | (KFFL) The Atlanta Falcons have declared WR Brian Finneran, SS Charlie Peprah, OT Garrett Reynolds, RB Jerious Norwood, QB John Parker Wilson, OT Sam Baker, LB Spencer Adkins, DL Trey Lewis inactive for Week 10. | 7 days | |
| 89. | Turner undergoes MRI on ankle | (FFChamps) Falcons running back Michael Turner is undergoing an MRI on his injured right ankle today, according to the Atlanta Journal Constitution. Turner sustained the injury during yesterday's game against the Panthers and left the stadium with his foot in a protective boot. Analysis: The injury has initially been reported as a high ankle sprain, but that will be definitively determined today. If it's a high ankle sprain, he could be sidelined up to a month or so. If it's your garden variety low ankle sprain, he might still miss some time. Either way, it's a huge loss for fantasy owners. Be prepared to ... (More) | 7 days | |
| 90. | Chargers | Tomlinson has most success running to his right | (KFFL) ESPN.com reports San Diego Chargers RB LaDainian Tomlinson gained 63 of his 96 rushing yards in Week 10 rushing to his right. Tomlinson's longest run of the game was a 20-yard touchdown to the right of the field. On the season, Tomlinson has gained 151 yards on 28 carries running to his right. | 7 days | |
| 91. | Colts | Wayne catches two TD passes Week 10 | (KFFL) The Associated Press reports Indianapolis Colts WR Reggie Wayne caught 10 passes for 126 yards with two touchdown receptions Week 10. | 7 days |
