1.Falcons | Turner not ruling himself out for Week 12 (KFFL) D. Orlando Ledbetter, of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, reports Atlanta Falcons RB Michael Turner (ankle) doesn't want to rule himself out for Week 12. Turner said, "It's an ankle sprain. These injuries are kind of like funny. Some guys take six weeks to bounce back, but I don't think I'll take that long. I'm just trying to get back to my normal self again." 6 hours
2.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. 8 hours
3.Seahawks | J. Jones expected to practice this week (KFFL) Danny O'Neil, of The Seattle Times, reports Seattle Seahawks RB Julius Jones (lung) is expected to practice this week and return to the starting lineup Week 12. 11 hours
4.Julius Jones to return from injury this ... (Rotoworld) Seahawks coach Jim Mora said Monday that Julius Jones (ribs, lung) is expected to resume practicing this week. Analysis: Jones has damaged ribs and was bleeding from the lungs two Sundays ago, so we'll believe he's ready to play when we see it. Justin Forsett has earned a more substantial role with his production all season, and an 89-yard, one-score day in Week 11 at Minnesota. Averaging 5.5 YPC on the year, Forsett figures to remain the lead back at St. Louis in Week 12 if Jones isn't 100%.12 hours
5.Turner, Norwood's statuses still not cle... (Rotoworld) Falcons coach Mike Smith shed little light on the statuses of Michael Turner (ankle) and Jerious Norwood (hip) at his Monday presser. Analysis: Both players were inactive for Week 11. Smith said that Turner and Norwood are "working very hard in the training room to get better," but couldn't say whether they'll practice this week. Jason Snelling has a good chance to again serve as Atlanta's every-down back in Week 12 versus Tampa Bay.15 hours
6.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.17 hours
7.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)18 hours
8.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)18 hours
9.Torry Holt (RotoWire) Holt had three catches for 31 yards in Sunday's win over the Bills. Analysis: Holt still does not have a touchdown catch this year, and even in deeper leagues, really shouldn't be on your roster.19 hours
10.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.20 hours
11.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
12.Favre has career day (FFChamps) Minnesota Vikings' quarterback Brett Favre completed 22-of-25 passes today, throwing for 213 yards and four touchdowns in a 35-9 route of the Seattle Seahawks. His 88% completion percentage represents the best single game percentage in the 40 year-old's career. Favre was replaced late in the third quarter by Tarvaris Jackson, when the game was well in hand. Analysis: Saying that Favre had a career day in any way is really saying something. Before the season started, and despite his Hall Of Fame credentials, No. 4 had become the butt of jokes for fans around the country. Not so much anymore. Favre has... (More)1 day
13.Coles catches two for 61 (Rotoworld) Laveranues Coles caught only two passes for 61 yards in Week 11. Analysis: Coles, showing that he still has some speed, beat Raiders LCB Chris Johnson for a 40-yard reception to save another mediocre-to-weak fantasy effort. Coles and Andre Caldwell continue to cancel each other out in fantasy.1 day
14.Gates held to 41 yards against Broncos (Rotoworld) Antonio Gates was held to three catches for 41 yards against the Broncos in Week 11. Analysis: Gates was targeted just four times with the Chargers running 43 times to just 22 passing attempts. He was also the victim of bad luck, getting stopped at the 1-yard line on a 24-yard catch-and-run. Expect a better fantasy performance against the Chiefs next week.1 day
15.Derrick Mason (RotoWire) Mason caught a game-high nine passes for 142 yards in Sunday's 17-15 loss to Indianapolis. Analysis: If you take out two games against Cincinnati, Mason has been extremely productive this season. No other Baltimore wide receiver caught more than one pass on Sunday, so Mason dominated the action, as he's done most of the year.1 day
16.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
17.Hines Ward (RotoWire) Ward hauled in 10 catches for 128 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's loss to Kansas City. Analysis: Ward gets back into the passing attack in a huge way as he had just 12 receptions and 71 yards receiving over the last three games combined. He is certainly not showing his age as the 33-year old leads the team in catches (63), yards (798) and is tied for the lead in touchdowns (5).1 day
18.Bernard Berrian (RotoWire) Berrian (hamstring) caught just two passes for 11 yards, but scored a short touchdown in Sunday's 35-9 win over Seattle. Analysis: Berrian has scored two straight weeks, but Sidney Rice and Percy Harvin have been more productive most of the year, including Sunday as they combined for 168 yards and three touchdowns.1 day
19.Steelers | Ward catches 10 passes Week 11 (KFFL) The Associated Press reports Pittsburgh Steelers WR Hines Ward caught 10 passes for 128 yards with a touchdown reception Week 11. 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.Hines Ward catches 10 passes in Week 11 (Rotoworld) Hines Ward caught 10 passes for 128 yards and a touchdown against the Chiefs in Week 11. Analysis: Ward was targeted 14 times as Big Ben's go-to receiver. He took advantage of Roethlisberger's escapability, finding an opening in the end zone for an 8-yard score in the second quarter. He's on pace for 101 receptions and 1,277 yards in his age-33 season. Consider him a WR2 at Baltimore next week.1 day
23.Mason has monster day in loss (Rotoworld) Derrick Mason caught nine passes for 142 yards in Sunday's loss to the Colts. Analysis: Mason was impressive with his usual out patterns, but he also sprinkled in some deep routes in this one as the Colts didn't put much pressure on Joe Flacco. This was his biggest game of the season in terms of both catches and yardage -- expect significantly smaller numbers against the Steelers next week.1 day
24.Holt limited to three catches in Week 11 (Rotoworld) Torry Holt caught three passes for 31 yards in Week 11. Analysis: Holt was held to just one catch for 10 yards in the first half, and wasn't much better in the final two quarters. He has just 109 yards over the past four games and still hasn't found the end zone.1 day
25.Berrian catches TD in Week 11 win (Rotoworld) Bernard Berrian caught two passes for 11 yards and one touchdown in Week 11 against the Seahawks. Analysis: Berrian was an afterthought in the Vikings' passing attack after being listed as questionable with a hamstring injury, but saved his numbers with a three-yard touchdown catch.1 day
26.Seahawks inactives for Week 11 (FFChamps) The Seattle Seahawks have declared the following players as inactive for today's game against the Minnesota Vikings: RB Julius Jones, CB Josh Wilson, OL Mike Gibson, OL Mansfield Wrotto, TE Cameron Morrah, DT Craig Terrill, DE Derek Walker and QB Mike Teel. Analysis: With Jones still recovering from his bruised lung, Justin Forsett will get the start in Minnesota. Not exactly a favorable matchup for the young man, but he should get plenty of touches today, and represents a flex ... (More)1 day
27.Julius Jones among Seahawks' inactives (Rotoworld) Seahawks declared RB Julius Jones, CB Josh Wilson, OL Mike Gibson, OL Mansfield Wrotto, TE Cameron Morrah, DT Craig Terrill, DE Derek Walker and QB Mike Teel inactive for Week 11 against the Vikings. Analysis: Jones was ruled out earlier in the week, leaving Justin Forsett as the starting running back in a very tough matchup.1 day
28.Vikings inactives for Week 11 (FFChamps) The Minnesota Vikings have declared the following players as inactive for today's game against the Seattle Seahawks: CB Antoine Winfield, QB Sage Rosenfels, RB Albert Young, C Jon Cooper, LB Erin Henderson, DT Fred Evans, WR Jaymar Johnson and DL Jayme Mitchell. Analysis: Winfield is the only notable on this list. He warmed-up today with the hopes of playing, but the Vikings are being cautious, and will keep him out one more week. Bernard Berrian has been listed as questionable ... (More)1 day
29.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
30.Falcons | Turner will not play (KFFL) Rachel Nichols, of ESPN, reports Atlanta Falcons RB Michael Turner (ankle) will not play during Week 11. He will be inactive. RB Jason Snelling will start in his place. 1 day
31.Turner will not play, Snelling starts fo... (Rotoworld) ESPN's Rachel Nichols reports that Michael Turner (ankle) will not play on Sunday against the Giants, and Jason Snelling will get the start for the Falcons. Analysis: Turner was listed as doubtful on the injury report and has no timetable for return. He is likely out for a couple of weeks with a high ankle sprain. Snelling and Aaron Stecker will try to fill in as best as they can for the Falcons. Struggling QB Matt Ryan will have to carry the offense with Turner absent.1 day
32.J. Jones misses practice Friday (TheHuddle) Seattle Seahawks RB Julius Jones (lung) did not participate in practice Friday, Nov. 20. He has been ruled out for Week 11. Analysis: RB Justin Forsett will get the start for Seattle and should be considered by fantasy owners as a flex player for Week 11. Forsett has looked good at times this season and could make it hard on Julius Jones to get his starting gig back if he can shine as the Seahawks are likely anticipating. Forsett is a solid sleeper candidate for the second half of the season and the stretch run to fantasy league playoffs... (More)3 days
33.Coles probable (FFChamps) Cincinnati Bengals' wide receiver Laveranues Coles (head) practiced fully on Friday, and is listed as probable for the team's game versus the Oakland Raiders. Analysis: Coles will most likely be good-to-go for Sunday. You have to think Chad Ochocinco will be blanketed by all-world cover specialist Nnamdi Asomugha for most of the contest, so Coles may get even more looks than normal this weekend (though, as it stands, he has led the team in targets over the past two weeks). Coles is no longer the deep threat he was in New York, but he is a ... (More)3 days
34.Berrian limited again (FFChamps) Minnesota Vikings' wide receiver Bernard Berrian (hamstring) was limited in practice again on Friday, and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Seattle Seahawks. Analysis: Sidney Rice and Percy Harvin are both better targets at this point, and Visanthe Shiancoe is the preferred red-zone target for Old Man Favre. Hamstrings have a tendency to linger and limit a player's burst off the line, and both have been true for Berrian. However, all that said, Berrian still has fantasy value, and if healthy, could make for a decent N... (More)3 days
35.Chargers | Gates practices Friday, will play Week 11 (KFFL) San Diego Chargers TE Antonio Gates (foot) practiced Friday, Nov. 20. He is listed as probable for Week 11 and will play. 3 days
36.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
37.Gates practices, is probable (FFChamps) San Diego Chargers' tight end Antonio Gates practiced in full on Friday, and is listed as probable against the Denver Broncos. Analysis: It's the biggest game of the year in the AFC West (a.k.a., the ONLY game in the AFC West that will matter all year), so expect Gates to suit-up and be roaming the middle of the suddenly Charmin-esque Broncos' defense come Sunday. Unfortunately for Gates, a certain Brian Dawkins also calls this territory home, and though Denver has shown cracks the last few weeks, we think Dawkins' presence downgrades Gates to a borderline No. 1/No. 2 fantasy tight end this weekend.3 days
38.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
39.Seahawks | J. Jones misses practice Friday (KFFL) Seattle Seahawks RB Julius Jones (lung) did not participate in practice Friday, Nov. 20. He has been ruled out for Week 11. 3 days
40.Antonio Gates (RotoWire) Gates (foot) practiced fully again on Friday and is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Broncos. Analysis: It's safe to start Gates as you normally would this week.3 days
41.Antonio Gates back to full practice (Rotoworld) Antonio Gates (probable, foot) practiced in full again on Friday. Analysis: Gates is certain to start Sunday against the Broncos. He's been getting Wednesday practices off to rest the foot he had surgery on prior to the 2008 season. Gates is a top-five fantasy tight end in all formats.3 days
42.Vikings | Berrian questionable for Week 11 (KFFL) Minnesota Vikings WR Bernard Berrian (hamstring) was limited during practice Friday, Nov. 20. He is listed as questionable for Week 11 and is expected to play. 3 days
43.Berrian listed as questionable (Rotoworld) Bernard Berrian (hamstring) was limited in practice again Friday and is listed as questionable for Week 11. Analysis: Whether or not Berrian's injury is limiting his explosiveness, he's not a fantasy option against the Seahawks. Berrian hasn't topped 47 yards in six weeks.3 days
44.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
45.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
46.Coles to face the Raiders (Rotoworld) Laveranues Coles (head, probable) practiced in full Friday. Analysis: Coles will face the Raiders, but isn't a recommended fantasy play.3 days
47.Bernard Berrian (RotoWire) Berrian (hamstring) is listed as questionable this week against Seattle, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports. Analysis: Berrian was able to play last week and the hamstring didn't appear to be an issue so the questionable tag is a bit of a surprise. Watch his status before kickoff if you're considering him for your lineup.3 days
48.Bengals | Coles probable for Week 11 (KFFL) Joe Reedy, of The Cincinnati Enquirer, reports Cincinnati Bengals WR Laveranues Coles (head) participated in practice Friday, Nov. 20. He is listed as probable for Week 11 and will be able to play. 3 days
49.Michael Turner (RotoWire) Turner (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Giants, the New York Daily News' Ralph Vacchiano reports. Analysis: Atlanta hasn't officially ruled Turner out, but there is almost no chance that he plays Sunday. The majority of the carries should fall to Jason Snelling, although Jerious Norwood (hip) could be a factor as well. With no timetable set for his return, this may not be the only game Turner misses.3 days
50.Turner doubtful; Jerious Norwood questio... (Rotoworld) Michael Turner (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Week 11 after missing his third straight practice Friday. Analysis: Even listing Turner as "doubtful" is generous; coach Mike Smith admits that he has no timetable for return. Turner is in danger of missing several weeks with a high ankle sprain. Jerious Norwood (hip) practiced Friday and is listed as questionable, but is unlikely to be a major threat to Jason Snelling's carries after sitting out for the last month. Snelling will start at the Giants.3 days
51.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
52.Falcons | Turner doubtful for Week 11 (KFFL) D. Orlando Ledbetter, of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, reports Atlanta Falcons RB Michael Turner (ankle) did not participate in practice Friday, Nov. 20. He is listed as doubtful for Week 11 and is not expected to play. 3 days
53.Laveranues Coles (RotoWire) Coles (head) practiced fully Friday and is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Raiders, the Bengals' official site reports. Analysis: It looks safe to roll with Coles, who has 11 catches over his last two games, as you normally would.3 days
54.Coles limited Thursday (TheHuddle) Joe Reedy, of the Cincinnati Enquirer, reports Bengals WR Laveranues Coles was limited in practice Thursday, Nov. 19, and his status for Week 11 is uncertain. Analysis: Coles is listed as having a head injury, and NFL teams have shown they're taking more precautions with those types of injuries so don't take that "uncertain" status with just a grain of salt. The match-up with a solid Oakland secondary doesn't help Coles' fantasy prospects, either.3 days
55.Steelers | Ward returns to practice Thursday (KFFL) Pittsburgh Steelers WR Hines Ward (rest) returned for the team's practice Thursday, Nov. 19. 4 days
56.Antonio Gates returns to full practice (Rotoworld) Antonio Gates (foot) returned to a full practice Thursday. Analysis: Gates was simply given a veteran day off Wednesday. He remains a TE1 this week even against a Broncos defense that has been tough on tight ends.4 days
57.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
58.Chargers | Gates practices in full Thursday (KFFL) San Diego Chargers TE Antonio Gates (foot) practiced in full Thursday, Nov. 19, and will play Week 11. 4 days
59.Turner misses practice Thursday (TheHuddle) The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, reports Atlanta Falcons RB Michael Turner (ankle) did not practice Thursday, Nov. 19, and is unlikely to play in Week 11. Analysis: Turner is likely to be a gametime decision but is likely to miss the Week 11 contest which would open the door for backup running back Jason Snelling to get the start. High ankle sprains have a tendency to linger for a few weeks which could limit Turner even when he does return to the lineup for the Falcons in the near future.4 days
60.J. Jones misses practice Thursday (TheHuddle) Seattle Seahawks RB Julius Jones (lung) did not participate in practice Thursday, Nov. 19. He has been ruled out for Week 11. Analysis: Jones will be replaced in the lineup by the rookie Justin Forsett who has looked good sharing carries early on in the season. Forsett had gradually been seeing an increase in his opportunities over the last couple of games which could mean that he could see an expanded role in the offense even when Jones is ready to return.4 days
61.Antonio Gates (RotoWire) Gates (foot) practiced fully Thursday. Analysis: He'll likely be listed as probable come Friday, but Gates says he's feeling healthy and that his missed practices are a maintenance deal, so he'll be out there Sunday against the Broncos.4 days
62.Bengals | Coles limited Thursday (KFFL) Joe Reedy, of the Cincinnati Enquirer, reports Cincinnati Bengals WR Laveranues Coles (head) was limited in practice Thursday, Nov. 19, and his status for Week 11 is uncertain. 4 days
63.Seahawks | J. Jones misses practice Thursday (KFFL) Seattle Seahawks RB Julius Jones (lung) did not participate in practice Thursday, Nov. 19. He has been ruled out for Week 11. 4 days
64.Vikings | Berrian limited Thursday (KFFL) Minnesota Vikings WR Bernard Berrian (hamstring) was limited during practice Thursday, Nov. 19. 4 days
65.Vikings | Berrian limited Thursday (KFFL) Minnesota Vikings WR Bernard Berrian (hamstring) participated in practice Thursday, Nov. 19. 4 days
66.Falcons | Turner misses practice Thursday (KFFL) D. Orlando Ledbetter, of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, reports Atlanta Falcons RB Michael Turner (ankle) did not practice Thursday, Nov. 19, and is unlikely to play in Week 11. 4 days
67.Berrian limited again in Thursday's prac... (Rotoworld) Bernard Berrian (hamstring) was limited again in Thursday's practice. Analysis: Berrian is expected to play against the Seahawks, but he's fallen behind Sidney Rice and Percy Harvin while battling the nagging hamstring injury. Keep him on fantasy benches.4 days
68.Laveranues Coles (RotoWire) Coles was listed as limited at Thursday's practice with a head injury, the Bengals' official site reports. Analysis: Coles practiced Wednesday, so we'll have to see what details become available reagrding his status leading up to Friday's injury report.4 days
69.Coles limited Thursday with head injury (Rotoworld) Laveranues Coles was added to the Bengals injury report Thursday as limited with a head injury. Analysis: Coles is banged up, but he's not expected to miss this week's game at Oakland. While he does have 11 catches in his last two games, Coles is a weak WR3 option on Sunday.4 days
70.Falcons coach: No timetable on Turner's ... (Rotoworld) Michael Turner (high ankle sprain) missed practice Thursday as expected, and coach Mike Smith said there's no timetable for the running back's return. Analysis: Turner almost certainly will sit out this week. The Falcons play the Bucs in Week 12 and Turner could be rested that week as well. We're considering Turner "week to week" for now, with Jason Snelling as the starter and Jerious Norwood (questionable, hip) his backup.4 days
71.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
72.Gates says his health has been the key (Rotoworld) Antonio Gates says he is completely healthy after nagging injuries limited his play in 2008. Analysis: Gates says he takes Wednesdays off just to "maintain feeling great." He's averaging 7.1 yards after the catch this season while his career mark is 4.4. Additionally, this is the first time in his career he has had more than 49 receiving yards in nine straight games. There's no reason to think he will have any drop off down the stretch.4 days
73.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
74.Mora declares Jones out for Week 11 (FFChamps) Seattle Seahawks' head coach Jim Mora said Wednesday that the team will be without the services of running back Julius Jones this weekend. Mora said Jones would miss this Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings, but could return in Week 12 (when the Seahawks travel to St. Louis to take on the Rams). Jones suffered a bruised lung in the team's 31-20 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. Analysis: Diminutive backup Justin Forsett should see a large percentage of the snaps coming out of the backfield this weekend against the Vikes. Tough first a... (More)5 days
75.Steelers | Ward misses practice Wednesday (KFFL) Pittsburgh Steelers WR Hines Ward (rest) missed the team's practice Wednesday, Nov. 18. 5 days
76.Falcons | Turner misses practice Wednesday (KFFL) Atlanta Falcons RB Michael Turner (ankle) missed the team's practice Wednesday, Nov. 18. 5 days
77.Turner held out of practice (FFChamps) Atlanta Falcons running back Michael Turner was held out of practice on Wednesday due to his high right ankle sprain. "He’s been working real hard in the training room to get back as quick as he can," head coach Mike Smith told the team's web site regarding Turner following Wednesday's practice. "We’re hoping he will continue to progress. He has made a lot of strides in the 48 hours or so since the end of the game." Analysis: Neither the team nor the player is counting Turner out of this weekend's game against the Giants, but fantasy owners should. Even if he tries pla... (More)5 days
78.Chargers | Gates misses practice Wednesday (KFFL) San Diego Chargers TE Antonio Gates (foot) missed the team's practice Wednesday, Nov. 18. 5 days
79.Antonio Gates (RotoWire) Gates (foot) missed Wednesday's practice, the San Diego Union Tribune reports. Analysis: Until we hear otherwise, we'll assume this is a routine day off for Gates.5 days
80.Vikings | Berrian limited Wednesday (KFFL) Chip Scoggins, of the Minneapolis Star Tribune, reports Minnesota Vikings WR Bernard Berrian (hamstring) was limited during practice Wednesday, Nov. 18. 5 days
81.Bernard Berrian (RotoWire) Berrian (hamstring) was limited in practice on Wednesday, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports. Analysis: He was able to play last week despite the ailment and didn't appear to have a setback, so this is probably minor. Still, continued hamstring problems haven't helped a diminishing role in the offense.5 days
82.Berrian limited Wednesday (Rotoworld) Bernard Berrian (hamstring) was limited in Wednesday's practice. Analysis: Berrian is likely to play in Week 11, but isn't 100% and hasn't topped 47 yards since Week 4. He's a weak fantasy bet versus Seattle, even as a WR3.5 days
83.Antonio Gates held out of practice (Rotoworld) Antonio Gates (foot) was held out of Chargers practice Wednesday. Analysis: Gates usually gets Wednesdays off. He'll play against the Broncos.5 days

88.Julius Jones out Sunday, could return We... (Rotoworld) Seahawks coach Jim Mora has ruled out Julius Jones (ribs, lung) for Week 11 at Minnesota. Analysis: "He won't be available Sunday," Mora said. "We'll see how he progresses. Hopefully (he'll be back) next week. We have to be careful." Jones is averaging just 3.7 yards per carry and Minnesota ranks sixth in run defense, so he wasn't going to be productive anyway. Justin Forsett will be pulled off returns, but start the game at tailback and try to make a case for a more significant role going forward. Seattle plays the Rams in Week 12.5 days

Analysis: Berrian originally hurt the hamstring during the preseason and then re-injured it on Oct. 25. He's been limited in practice ever since and struggled with explosiveness.

However, don't jump to conclusions just yet -- Turner has had a history of playing and performing well with injuries throughout his five-year career. Turner had 428 rushing yards in the three games, averaging a staggering 9.1 yards per carry over that span, so we're definitely locked in to his situation and will give you updates as they come to us.6 days

Manning is more of a QB2 even in a plus matchup with the Falcons this week. 6 days
