| # | Headline | Summary | Published | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1. | Chris Brown | (RotoWire) Brown rushed for 36 yards on 11 carries and caught three passes for 17 yards in the Texans' loss to the Titans on Monday night. Analysis: Still not confident in Steve Slaton's ball security, Texans head coach Gary Kubiak gave more of the rushing duties to Brown. The 11 totes represent the most carries he's had this season. | 1 hour | |
| 2. | Glenn Martinez | (RotoWire) Martinez returned three punts for an average of 3.0 yards per return in Monday night's loss to the Titans. Analysis: Martinez was replacing Jacoby Jones (calf) as Houston's punt returner for the week. | 1 hour | |
| 3. | David Anderson | (RotoWire) Anderson had five catches for 52 yards in Monday night's loss to the Titans. Analysis: Anderson filled in for Jacoby Jones, who was unavailable because of a calf injury. He's been a reliable receiver when used, but has had trouble cracking the rotation of wideouts the past few years. | 1 hour | |
| 4. | James Casey | (RotoWire) Casey (knee) had two catches for 33 yards in Monday night's loss to the Titans. Analysis: Casey becomes the biggest pass-catching threat at tight end with Owen Daniels (knee) done for the season, though it's unlikely he'll get as many targets as Daniels. | 1 hour | |
| 5. | Kris Brown | (RotoWire) Brown missed two field goals including one that could have sent the game into overtime in Houston's loss to Tennessee on Monday night. Analysis: Brown has made 2-of-5 field-goal attempts in the past two games, failing on chances to beat the Colts in Week 9 and tie the Titans in Week 11. | 1 hour | |
| 6. | Texans | Schaub throws for 305 yards Week 11 | (KFFL) The Associated Press reports Houston Texans QB Matt Schaub was 25-for-39 for 305 yards with two touchdown passes Week 11 against the Tennessee Titans. | 7 hours | |
| 7. | Titans | C. Johnson runs for 151 yards Week 11 | (KFFL) The Associated Press reports Tennessee Titans RB Chris Johnson had 29 carries for 151 rushing yards Week 11. | 7 hours | |
| 8. | Panthers | C. Johnson will not play Week 12 | (KFFL) Steve Reed, of CarolinaGrowl.com, reports Carolina Panthers DE Charles Johnson (pectoral) said he will not play in the team's Week 12 game, but he is hoping to return for Week 13. | 7 hours | |
| 9. | Panthers | Godfrey might return this week | (KFFL) Steve Reed, of CarolinaGrowl.com, reports Carolina Panthers FS Charles Godfrey (ankle) might get back on the field this week. Godfrey feels like he is almost ready to play, but it is not known if he will get his starting job back when he returns. | 7 hours | |
| 10. | Panthers | Hoover might return this week | (KFFL) Steve Reed, of CarolinaGrowl.com, reports Carolina Panthers FB Brad Hoover (ankle) might get back on the field this week. Hoover said he felt better after running Monday, Nov. 23, but he admitted he is far from 100 percent. Hoover added, "I knew when I did it it was going to be one of those things where it nags me all year. But all I need is to be functional and keep the swelling down and for it not be too painful." | 7 hours | |
| 11. | Rookie TE Casey catches two passes in lo... | (Rotoworld) Texans rookie TE James Casey caught two passes for 33 yards in Week 11. Analysis: The former Rice University and minor league pitcher started for the Texans and saw his first extensive action of his rookie campaign. He is trying to replace the injured Owen Daniels but he is going to need time to connect with Matt Schaub. Casey is not a fantasy option yet. | 7 hours | |
| 12. | Walter catches four passes in Week 11 lo... | (Rotoworld) Kevin Walter caught four passes for 46 yards in Week 11. Analysis: Walter continues to be Matt Schaub's new Owen Daniels with Daniels (knee) out for the season. He is reliable over the middle and on third down for the Texans. Walter made a nice diving 8-yard catch on third down in the first quarter to set up Steve Slaton's score. He and the Texans have the Colts at home next week. | 8 hours | |
| 13. | Andre Johnson catches four passes and a ... | (Rotoworld) Andre Johnson caught four passes for 78 yards and a touchdown in the Texans' Week 11 loss. Analysis: Johnson was targeted 11 times on the night, but Matt Schaub had Titans' defenders in his face for much of the night and had to throw off his back foot a number of times. The 78-yard, one TD output is weak compared to Johnson's previous games against Tennessee. Look for him to get back on track against the Colts next week. | 8 hours | |
| 14. | 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." | 8 hours | |
| 15. | Brown sees bulk of the work for Texans | (Rotoworld) Chris Brown ran the ball 11 times for 36 yards in Week 11. Analysis: Brown also caught three passes for 17 yards in the loss. Coach Gary Kubiak seemed to go with more of the physical route in the backfield to try and match the Titans smash-mouth defensive style. He still isn't worth much in fantasy but that could change if an injury occurs. | 8 hours | |
| 16. | Slaton scores TD in limited time in Week... | (Rotoworld) Steve Slaton rushed five times for 21 yards and caught five passes for 42 yards and a touchdown in Week 11. Analysis: Slaton regained his starting job on Monday night but saw limited touches (10) compared to Chris Brown (14). He held onto the ball again this week, but is still seeing less and less playing time. Slaton has some value in PPR leagues, as he saw eight targets in the passing game on Monday. He and the Texans have the Colts at home in Week 12. | 8 hours | |
| 17. | Schaub throws for 305 yards and 2 TD in ... | (Rotoworld) Matt Schaub completed 25-of-39 passes for 305 yards and two touchdowns in the Texans' 20-17 loss on Monday night. Analysis: The league's third-leading passer was pressured by the Tennessee defensive front for most of the night and was forced to throw the ball off of his back foot a number of times. Schaub played well and found some openings in the first half but couldn't get much late in the game. The 5-5 Texans have Indianapolis at home next week. | 8 hours | |
| 18. | Scaife catches four passes in Week 11 wi... | (Rotoworld) Bo Scaife caught four passes for 38 yards in the Titans' Week 11 win. Analysis: Vince Young checked down to Scaife when nothing was open deep and was targeted six times on the night. He is not a fantasy option at all, as he still hasn't found the end zone in 2009. | 8 hours | |
| 19. | Washington only hauls in one catch in wi... | (Rotoworld) Nate Washington caught just one pass for 14 yards in Week 11. Analysis: Washington is the Titans main red-zone target but lost out on that opportunity to Kenny Britt on Monday. He also dropped a perfectly thrown ball from Vince Young that would have gone for 50+ yards. Washington hasn't topped three catches since Week 4 and has Arizona next on the schedule. | 8 hours | |
| 20. | Britt steps in and catches four passes a... | (Rotoworld) Kenny Britt caught four passes for 42 yards and a touchdown in the Titans' Week 11 victory. Analysis: Britt stepped in and started for Justin Gage for the second straight week and was Vince Young's main target. He caught his touchdown from 13 yards out on a nice pass from Young. Britt will be relegated to No. 3 WR duties once Gage returns. | 8 hours | |
| 21. | White scores TD in MNF win for Titans | (Rotoworld) LenDale White rushed two times for four yards and a touchdown in Week 11. Analysis: White got the Titans' lone goal-line carry and capitalized after Chris Johnson gashed the Texans for a 36-yard run. Still, White only saw two touches and has been phased out of the offense with Johnson tearing up the NFL. | 8 hours | |
| 22. | Young leads Titans to Week 11 victory on... | (Rotoworld) Vince Young completed 12-of-22 passes for 116 yards and a touchdown while also rushing for 73 yards on 11 carries in Week 11. Analysis: Young gives the Titans more speed and playmaking ability on offense, as he has the ability to escape pressure and create plays with his legs. Tennessee is now 4-0 with V.Y. as the starter and have a chance to resurrect their season. With Young at QB the Titans have controlled the ball more and have cut down their turnovers considerably. He and the Titans have Arizona at home next week. | 8 hours | |
| 23. | Chris Johnson scampers for 151 yards in ... | (Rotoworld) Chris Johnson rushed for 151 yards on 29 carries in the Titans' Monday night win over the Texans. Analysis: Johnson was held in check for much of the first half, running for 86 yards but 36 of those came on one carry to set up a one-yard touchdown run by LenDale White. He got outside with great speed as usual but lost a goal-line opportunity late in the first half when White scored his TD. Johnson ran for his fifth straight 100-yard game and has Arizona next on the schedule. | 8 hours | |
| 24. | Bucs coach Morris relieves Bates of DC d... | (Rotoworld) Bucs coach Raheem Morris has relieved Jim Bates of defensive coordinator duties and will take over defensive play-calling responsibilities. Analysis: The 1-9 Bucs have the league's worst run defense, allowing 168.9 yards per game, and allow the second-most points in the league at 29.4. Bates will remain with the team to help Morris out with game-planning, but Morris is expected to return the team to their familiar Tampa Two scheme. The Bucs have very few playmakers on defense and didn't change personnel in the offseason to help out Bates' new 4-3 scheme. | 9 hours | |

The Cowboys play the Raiders on Thanksgiving Day. Analysis: Witten did not miss any time during Sunday's game against the Redskins so this ailment is a little bit of a surprise.

| 44. | Johnson has injured knee, hand | (FFChamps) Lions wide receiver Calvin Johnson is listed on the initial injury report for their Thanksgiving Day game against the Packers with hand and knee injuries.

| 47. | Stafford likely out for Thanksgiving Day | (FFChamps) Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford is likely going to miss their Thanksgiving Day game against the Packers, according to the Detroit Free Press. Stafford has been diagnosed with an AC joint separation in his left shoulder, an injury he sustained on the next-to-last play in yesterday's game against the Browns. Analysis: Stafford has little chance of getting himself ready to play in the next 48 hours, meaning we will very likely be watching Daunte Culpepper under center for the Lions on Turkey Day. Adjust your lineups accordingly. | 12 hours | |
| 48. | Matthew Stafford | (RotoWire) Coach Jim Schwartz said everything in Stafford's shoulder is structurally fine, CBS Sports reports. "Most of the tests that have come back, I wouldn't label it as significant." Analysis: Stafford is still unlikely to play Thursday against Green Bay, but his long-term prognosis looks very good. Although it's still too early to speculate on a timetable, he may only miss one game. | 12 hours | |
| 49. | Bulger out 3-6 weeks | (FFChamps) Rams quarterback Marc Bulger will be sidelined three-to-six weeks with a broken bone in his left shin near his knee. Technically it's called a tibial plateau fracture, and it was among the many injuries Bulger sustained in Sunday's game against the Falcons. Rams head coach Steve Spagnuolo told the St. Louis Post Dispatch that the injury does not require surgery. "It’s just crutches. He’ll have to say off it for a while."

| 50. | 49ers | Drop tampering charges | (KFFL) ESPN.com reports San Francisco 49ers president Jed York is dropping the team's tampering charge against the New York Jets over 49ers WR Michael Crabtree, a league source told ESPN's Adam Schefter Monday, Nov. 23.

The 49ers investigated and filed the charge against the Jets. | 12 hours | |
| 51. | Calvin Johnson | (RotoWire) Johnson (hand, knee) may not play Thursday against the Packers, the Associated Press reports. Analysis: The Lions didn't practice Monday, but listed on their injury report that Johnson's hand and knee injuries would have prevented him from participating. He was apparently injured on the Lions' desperation pass at the end of regulation Sunday, and the short week won't help his chances. We'll monitor this one closely, but it will likely come down to a game-time decision on Thanksgiving Day. | 12 hours | |
| 52. | Raiders | MRI results on Ekejiuba come back negative | (KFFL) CBSSports.com reports Oakland Raiders LB Isaiah Ekejiuba's (knee) MRI results came back negative, and he is questionable for the team's Week 12 game, according to head coach Tom Cable. | 12 hours | |

Analysis: Seymour suffered the injury in Sunday's win against the Bengals. Coach Tom Cable said that "he (Seymour) was feeling pretty good today" and the team will "just kind of take it day to day."

| 73. | Report: Bills contacted Bill Cowher | (Rotoworld) NFL.com's Jason La Canfora reports that the Bills recently contacted CBS analyst Bill Cowher about their head coaching job, but Cowher said he wouldn't speak about such vacancies until after the season. Analysis: Cowher is declining to speak with any teams in-season out of respect for his current employer.

| 77. | Calvin Johnson to sit out Thanksgiving g... | (Rotoworld) According to the Associated Press, Calvin Johnson (hand, knee) is "doubtful" to play on Thanksgiving against Green Bay. Analysis: The AP doesn't cite sources, but issued the report after coach Jim Schwartz's Monday presser. Schwartz "didn't sound optimistic" that Calvin would play on Thursday. Johnson wouldn't have practiced if the Lions held a workout Monday, which isn't an encouraging sign. Keep a close eye on Tuesday and Wednesday's practice reports. He'll likely be listed as questionable. | 13 hours | |
| 78. | Romo limited in walkthrough | (Rotoworld) Tony Romo (back) was limited in the Cowboys' walkthrough Monday. Analysis: Romo experienced some stiffness in his back following Sunday's win over the Redskins, but he'll start on Thanksgiving. Dallas faces Oakland Thursday. | 13 hours | |

| 82. | Kyle Boller to start with Bulger out | (Rotoworld) Kyle Boller will be the Rams' starting quarterback with Marc Bulger (broken tibia) out 3-6 weeks. Analysis: Boller will likely be on a short leash with rookie Keith Null behind him on the depth chart. Null at least flashed in preseason, while Boller managed a paltry 5.59 YPA and 2:3 TD to INT ratio in three appearances earlier this season.

| 83. | Marc Bulger out 3-6 weeks with broken ti... | (Rotoworld) A Monday MRI revealed that Marc Bulger has a fracture in the upper part of his kneecap. He'll miss the next 3-6 weeks. Analysis: The injury is a "tibial plateau fracture," and with only six games left Bulger is a candidate for injured reserve. Kyle Boller is next on the depth chart, but the 1-9 Rams may as well see what rookie Keith Null can do if Boller struggles (likely). Boller wasn't good in two spot starts earlier this season. Bulger wasn't playing very well either, but had a better chance of getting the ball to Donnie Avery and Brandon Gibson. Both Rams wideouts take hits in value. | 13 hours | |

| 90. | 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%. | 14 hours | |

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) | 14 hours | |

| 94. | Ben Roethlisberger | (RotoWire) Roethlisberger (concussion) is expected to start in Week 12 against Baltimore provided he passes his neurological testing, KDKA-TV in Pittsburgh reports. Analysis: The Steelers will have a better idea whether or not Roethlisberger can play on Sunday when coach Mike Tomlin speaks at his weekly press conference Tuesday afternoon. With Charlie Batch (wrist) out, Pittsburgh currently has only one quarterback, second-year man Dennis Dixon, on its roster. If Roethlisberger is not cleared to play against the Ravens, then the team might consider a veteran QB like Jeff Garcia. | 14 hours | |
| 95. | Matthew Stafford, Calvin Johnson could miss Thanksgiving Day game | (FFToolbox) Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford and wide receiver Calvin Johnson did more than their part to get the team a win Sunday against the Cleveland Browns.

Meanwhile, Johnson has hand and knee injuries that have his status for the game up in the air.

| 98. | Steelers expect Roethlisberger to start | (Rotoworld) NFL.com's Jason La Canfora confirms that the Steelers expect Ben Roethlisberger (head) to play in Week 12. Analysis: La Canfora says it would take some "unforeseen and highly unlikely setback" to keep Roethlisberger from starting at Baltimore. "He'll be fine," a source added. Roethlisberger, facing an already weak Ravens defensive backfield, gets a slight matchup boost with CB Fabian Washington done for the year. | 14 hours | |
