| 2. | Texans | Slaton limited Thursday, will play Week 12 | (KFFL) Houston Texans RB Steve Slaton (neck) were limited in practice Thursday, Nov. 26, but he will play Week 12. | 18 minutes | |
| 3. | Texans | Two limited Thursday, will play Week 12 | (KFFL) Houston Texans SS Dominique Barber (ankle) and LB Brian Cushing (foot) were limited in practice Thursday, Nov. 26, but both will play Week 12. | 19 minutes | |
| 4. | Texans | Two miss practice Thursday, will play Week 12 | (KFFL) Houston Texans LB DeMeco Ryans (ankle) and DT Amobi Okoye (illness) missed the team's practice Thursday, Nov. 26, but both will play Week 12. | 20 minutes | |

| 6. | Jerious Norwood | (RotoWire) Norwood (hip) fully participated in practice again on Thursday, the Atlanta Journal Constitution reports. "Jerious is definitely ahead of Mike," coach Mike Smith said referring to the fact that Norwood is currently doing more at practice than Michael Turner. Analysis: It looks like Norwood has a pretty good chance of returning to help out Jason Snelling (who filled in for Turner in Week 11) this week, while Turner has already been declared a game-time decision by Smith. | 43 minutes | |
| 7. | Gijon Robinson | (RotoWire) Robinson (concussion) returned to practice on Thursday, but was a limited participant. Analysis: It's a good sign to see him return to practice, but he may be held again this week as a precaution. | 48 minutes | |
| 8. | Michael Turner | (RotoWire) Turner (ankle) was limited at practice Thursday, the Atlanta Journal Constitution reports. "Mike is probably going to down to the wire in terms of a game-time decision on if he's going to be able to play or not," coach Mike Smith said Thursday. Analysis: Turner, who essentially agreed with his coach's assessment, remains hopeful that he can play against Tampa Bay Sunday. "Yeah, it's a game-time decision," Turner said. "I'm still working out some kinks and things like that. Just normal stuff that you've got to do coming off an ankle sprain." On the plus side for the Falcons, there is a solid chance the team's backfield will welcome back Jerious Norwood this wee... (More) | 49 minutes | |
| 9. | Dwight Freeney | (RotoWire) Freeney missed a second consecutive practice on Thursday due to an abdomen injury, the team's official web site reports. Analysis: He played through a hip injury last week that may be related, so he could just be getting some rest. Check to see if he's able to practice on Friday. | 50 minutes | |
| 10. | Keyunta Dawson | (RotoWire) Dawson didn't practice on Thursday due to a knee injury. Analysis: The Colts have indicated this injury may be serious as they added Josh Thomas back to the roster to give them depth at the defensive line in case Dawson is out. | 51 minutes | |
| 11. | Donald Brown | (RotoWire) Brown fully participated in Thursday's practice, but was listed as having a shoulder injury, the team's official web site reports. Analysis: Brown should play this week despite the ailment, but it's not clear he's back to 100 percent since had just four carries last week. | 53 minutes | |
| 12. | Antoine Bethea | (RotoWire) Bethea (foot) fully participated in practice on Thursday, the team's official web site reports. Analysis: He played last week despite a sore foot, so this is a good sign he'll start again this week after missing Wednesday's practice. | 55 minutes | |
| 13. | Joseph Addai | (RotoWire) Addai fully participated in Thursday's practice, but was listed as having a knee injury, the team's official web site reports. Analysis: He's practiced both days this week despite the injury, so this doesn't look like a worry. | 56 minutes | |
| 14. | Peyton Manning | (RotoWire) Manning was limited in practice again on Thursday with a sore gluteal muscle, the team's official web site reports. Analysis: The Colts haven't spoken about Manning's injury, but he didn't report it as a problem in last week's game. As a result, it's likely not something to worry about, but check his status on Friday. | 58 minutes | |
| 15. | Bengals | Mathis practices in full Thursday | (KFFL) Joe Reedy, of the Cincinnati Enquirer, reports Cincinnati Bengals OG Evan Mathis (ankle) practiced in full Thursday, Nov. 26, but he should return to the lineup for Week 12. | 1 hour | |
| 16. | Bengals | Peko misses practice Thursday | (KFFL) Joe Reedy, of the Cincinnati Enquirer, reports Cincinnati Bengals DT Domata Peko (knee) missed the team's practice Thursday, Nov. 26, but he did do rehab work. Peko should be able to play Week 12. | 1 hour | |
| 17. | Bengals | Rivers, Maualuga limited Thursday | (KFFL) Joe Reedy, of the Cincinnati Enquirer, reports Cincinnati Bengals LB Keith Rivers (calf) and LB Rey Maualuga (foot) were limited in practice Thursday, Nov. 26. Both players should be able to play Week 12. | 1 hour | |
| 18. | Bengals | Coles misses practice Thursday | (KFFL) Joe Reedy, of the Cincinnati Enquirer, reports Cincinnati Bengals WR Laveranues Coles (chest) missed the team's practice Thursday, Nov. 26, but he does have a chance to play Week 12. | 1 hour | |
| 19. | Bengals | Coles misses practice Thursday | (KFFL) Joe Reedy, of the Cincinnati Enquirer, reports Cincinnati Bengals WR Laveranues Coles (chest) missed the team's practice Thursday, Nov. 26, but he does have a chance to play Week 12. | 1 hour | |
| 20. | Bengals | Benson does rehab work Thursday | (KFFL) Joe Reedy, of the Cincinnati Enquirer, reports Cincinnati Bengals RB Cedric Benson (hip) did do rehab work on a side field Thursday, Nov. 26, but he is doubtful for Week 12. RB Larry Johnson is expected to see more carries if Benson sits out. | 1 hour | |
| 21. | Reggie Wayne | (RotoWire) Wayne (foot) fully participated in Thursday's practice, the team's official web site reports. Analysis: He missed Wednesday's practice with the injury, but this doesn't look serious since he returned Thursday. | 1 hour | |
| 22. | Bills | Byrd limited Thursday | (KFFL) Buffalo Bills S Jairus Byrd (groin) was limited in practice Thursday, Nov. 26, but he is expected to play Week 12. | 1 hour | |
| 23. | Bills | McGee limited Thursday | (KFFL) Buffalo Bills CB Terrence McGee (knee) was limited in practice Thursday, Nov. 26, but he has a good chance to play Week 12. | 1 hour | |
| 24. | Bills | Two miss practice Thursday, questionable for Week 12 | (KFFL) Buffalo Bills DT Marcus Stroud (knee) and LB Nic Harris (ankle) missed the team's practice Thursday, Nov. 26. Both players are considered questionable to play Week 12. | 1 hour | |
| 25. | Bills | Three miss practice Thursday, doubtful for Week 12 | (KFFL) Buffalo Bills OT Demetrius Bell (knee), DT John McCargo (calf) and CB Ashton Youboty (ankle) missed the team's practice Thursday, Nov. 26. Each player is considered doubtful to play Week 12. | 1 hour | |
| 26. | Buccaneers | T. Jackson misses practice Thursday | (KFFL) Roy Cummings, of The Tampa Tribune, reports Tampa Bay Buccaneers CB Tanard Jackson (illness) missed the team's practice Thursday, Nov. 26. The team isn't saying he has the flu yet, but his illness could turn into that. Jackson's status for Week 12 is uncertain. | 1 hour | |
| 27. | Buccaneers | Ruud practices in full Thursday | (KFFL) Roy Cummings, of The Tampa Tribune, reports Tampa Bay Buccaneers LB Barrett Ruud (ribs) practiced in full Thursday, Nov. 26, and should be good to go Week 12. | 1 hour | |
| 28. | Buccaneers | Cox limited Thursday | (KFFL) Roy Cummings, of The Tampa Tribune, reports Tampa Bay Buccaneers CB Torrie Cox (knee) was limited in practice Thursday, Nov. 26, but he should be good to go Week 12. | 1 hour | |
| 29. | Buccaneers | Winslow practices in full Thursday | (KFFL) Roy Cummings, of The Tampa Tribune, reports Tampa Bay Buccaneers TE Kellen Winslow (knee) practiced in full Thursday, Nov. 26, and he should be good to go Week 12. | 1 hour | |
| 30. | Buccaneers | Bryant given day off Thursday | (KFFL) Roy Cummings, of The Tampa Tribune, reports Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Antonio Bryant (knee) was given the day off Thursday, Nov. 26, but his knee is fine. He should be good to go Week 12. | 1 hour | |
| 31. | Antwaun Molden | (RotoWire) The Texans have placed Molden (quad) on IR. Analysis: The team signed fellow cornerbcak Mark Parson to fill the roster spot of Molden, who finishes the season with just two tackles in four games. | 1 hour | |
| 32. | DeMeco Ryans | (RotoWire) Ryans (ankle) did not practice Thursday, the Texans' official site reports. Analysis: The Texans hope to have Ryans out on the field for Friday's practice though. "He's just got a tender ankle that he rolled in the fourth quarter, and there's no reason for us to push him in yesterday or today's practice," coach Gary Kubiak said Thursday. "I mean, this guy is going to know what to do and know how to do it. We've just got to be smart with him, so that's what we're trying to do." | 1 hour | |
| 33. | Steve Slaton | (RotoWire) Slaton (shoulder) practiced Thursday, the Texans' official site reports. Analysis: We'll see where Slaton lands on Friday's injury report, but what his role will be Sunday against the Colts seems like more of a question mark than whether or not he will play. | 1 hour | |
| 34. | Redskins | Yoder misses practice Thursday | (KFFL) Ryan O'Halloran, of The Washington Times, reports Washington Redskins TE Todd Yoder (toe) missed the team's practice Thursday, Nov. 26, but he is expected to play Week 12. | 1 hour | |
| 35. | Redskins | D. Hall misses practice Thursday | (KFFL) Ryan O'Halloran, of The Washington Times, reports Washington Redskins CB Deangelo Hall (knee) missed the team's practice Thursday, Nov. 26, and he is unlikely to play Week 12. | 1 hour | |
| 36. | Redskins | M. Williams practices Thursday | (KFFL) Ryan O'Halloran, of The Washington Times, reports Washington Redskins OL Mike D. Williams (ankle) practiced Thursday, Nov. 26. He will be available for Week 12, but he won't start at right guard. | 1 hour | |
| 37. | Redskins | Blades misses practice Thursday | (KFFL) Ryan O'Halloran, of The Washington Times, reports Washington Redskins LB H.B. Blades (knee) missed the team's practice Thursday, Nov. 26, but he will be a game-time decision for Week 12. | 1 hour | |
| 38. | Redskins | Haynesworth misses practice Thursday | (KFFL) Ryan O'Halloran, of The Washington Times, reports Washington Redskins DT Albert Haynesworth (ankle) missed the team's practice Thursday, Nov. 26, but he will be a game-time decision for Week 12. | 1 hour | |
| 39. | Redskins | Portis misses practice Thursday | (KFFL) Ryan O'Halloran, of The Washington Times, reports Washington Redskins RB Clinton Portis (concussion) missed the team's practice Thursday, Nov. 26, and he is out for Week 12. | 1 hour | |
| 40. | Redskins | Cooley out for Week 12 | (KFFL) Ryan O'Halloran, of The Washington Times, reports Washington Redskins TE Chris Cooley (ankle) is out for Week 12. The team will make a decision about whether to place Cooley on Injured Reserve next week. | 1 hour | |
| 41. | Patrick Ramsey | (RotoWire) Ramsey is expected to work out for the Steelers, according to Fox Sports' Jay Glazer. Analysis: The Steelers will be without No. 2 QB Charlie Batch for at least two-to-four weeks, so they are expected to work out Ramsey and Todd Bouman. | 2 hours | |
| 42. | Lions | Pettigrew heads to locker room | (KFFL) Updating previous reports, FOX Sports reports Detroit Lions TE Brandon Pettigrew (knee) went into the locker room after suffering what appeared to be a knee injury during Week 12. He appeared to have trouble putting his full weight on his injured leg. | 2 hours | |
| 43. | Lions | Stafford not risking further injury to shoulder | (KFFL) FOX Sports reports Detroit Lions head coach Jim Schwartz was told by team doctors that QB Matthew Stafford (knee, shoulder) would not be risking further injury to his already ailing shoulder by playing during Week 12. Stafford, as reported, started the team's Thanksgiving game against the Green Bay Packers. | 2 hours | |
| 44. | Eagles | S. Brown limited Thursday | (KFFL) Jeff McLane, of the Philadelphia Inquirer, reports Philadelphia Eagles CB Sheldon Brown (hamstring) was limited in practice Thursday, Nov. 26. | 2 hours | |
| 45. | Lions | Culpepper disappointed he didn't start | (KFFL) Pam Oliver, of FOX Sports, reports Detroit Lions backup QB Daunte Culpepper appeared disappointed after he did not start the team's Thanksgiving Day game against the Green Bay Packers Thursday, Nov. 26. Culpepper was expected to start after QB Matthew Stafford (knee, shoulder) was listed as doubtful for the game and missed practice during the week. When asked about the situation, Culpepper told Oliver he did not want to talk about it. | 2 hours | |
| 46. | Eagles | Jordan misses practice Thursday | (KFFL) Jeff McLane, of the Philadelphia Inquirer, reports Philadelphia Eagles LB Akeem Jordan (knee) missed the team's practice Thursday, Nov. 26. Defensive coordinator Shaun McDermott said LB Jeremiah Trotter and LB Joe Mays would continue to split time at middle linebacker if Jordan is unable to play Week 12. | 2 hours | |
| 47. | Eagles | Samuel misses practice Thursday | (KFFL) Jeff McLane, of the Philadelphia Inquirer, reports Philadelphia Eagles CB Asante Samuel (neck) missed the team's practice Thursday, Nov. 26. CB Dimitri Patterson will play left cornerback if Samuel is unable to play Week 12. | 2 hours | |
| 48. | Brandon Pettigrew | (RotoWire) Pettigrew left Thursday's game in the first quarter with a left knee injury. Analysis: Pettigrew, who had one catch for 12 yards prior to his departure, was examined by Lions' trainers before being helped back to the locker room. | 2 hours | |
| 49. | Lions | Pettigrew injured Week 12 | (KFFL) Detroit Lions TE Brandon Pettigrew (knee) suffered an apparent knee injury Week 12. Trainers looked at him on the field, but he was able to walk off under his own power. | 2 hours | |
| 50. | Michael Turner | (RotoWire) Turner (ankle) practiced on Thursday and there's a good chance he's going to return Sunday against Tampa Bay, Fox's Jay Glazer reports. Analysis: Keep an eye on this situation for the next few days, but we'd put Turner's odds of playing at much better than 50-50 at this stage. It's a nice matchup, at home against the Bucs, but because he's dealing with the dreaded high ankle sprain there's some additional risk to using him if he's active. | 2 hours | |
| 51. | Chiefs | Two likely to play Week 12 | (KFFL) Adam Teicher, of The Kansas City Star, reports Kansas City Chiefs RB Kolby Smith (ankle) and LB Dave Herron (knee) will likely play Week 12 against the San Diego Chargers. | 2 hours | |
| 52. | Chiefs | Four uncertain for Week 12 | (KFFL) Adam Teicher, of The Kansas City Star, reports Kansas City Chiefs OG Andy Alleman (knee), LB Mike Vrabel (knee), RB Dantrell Savage (ankle) and LB Justin Rogers (thigh) are uncertain to play Week 12. | 2 hours | |
| 53. | Cowboys | Jenkins getting banged up making hits | (KFFL) Bill Nichols, of The Dallas Morning News, reports Dallas Cowboys CB Mike Jenkins (elbow, head) is getting banged up making hits this season. Head coach Wade Phillips said, "Part of it is he just needs to run up on them and tackle them instead of diving. He's fast enough to run up on a guy rather than taking a shot at diving at them. He does that a lot of times but we're working with him on that. He needs to run up on them and tackle them. He doesn't need to leave his feet." | 2 hours | |
| 54. | Kampman, Aaron | GB | (SportsGrumblings) Packers LB Aaron Kampman is inactive for today's contest | 3 hours | |
| 55. | Johnson, Calvin | Det | (SportsGrumblings) Lions WR Calvin Johnson is active today | 3 hours | |
| 56. | Stafford, Matthew | Det | (SportsGrumblings) Lions QB Stafford is active for today's game. | 3 hours | |
| 57. | Report: Steelers trying out veteran QBs | (Rotoworld) FOX Sports' Jay Glazer reports that the Steelers will try out free agent QBs Patrick Ramsey and Todd Bouman. Analysis: They may not sign either, but at some point may decide to place Charlie Batch (wrist surgery) on injured reserve. Working out Ramsey, 30, and Bouman, 37, allows the Steelers' scouting department to update their emergency list. | 3 hours | |
| 58. | Daunte Culpepper | (RotoWire) Culpepper's teammate, Matthew Stafford, will start Thursday's game against the Packers. Analysis: Stafford was looking pretty doubtful heading into the game, so Culpepper will have to keep loose in the event that Stafford experiences too much discomfort or suffers a setback with his injured left (non-throwing) shoulder Thursday. | 3 hours | |
| 59. | Haynos better with Fasano back? | (Rotoworld) Dolphins offensive coordinator Dan Henning admits that Joey Haynos' effectiveness decreased when Anthony Fasano (hip) was out of the lineup. Analysis: Henning was probably referring to Haynos' blocking, which is a work in progress. During the two games that Fasano missed, Haynos caught three balls in one game and was held to no catches in another. His size (6'8/270) is enticing, but Haynos has a long way to go. | 3 hours | |
| 60. | Ko Simpson | (RotoWire) Simpson (knee) has been placed on IR by the Lions. Analysis: Marvin White will fill in for Simpson -- who finished up the season with 30 tackles and an interception in eight games -- starting with Thursday's contest. | 3 hours | |
| 61. | Stafford to start against Green Bay | (TheHuddle) The NFL Network and Fox Sports reports Detroit Lions QB Matthew Stafford (knee, shoulder) will start against the Green Bay Packers Thursday, Nov. 26. Analysis: Very surprising move and there's no telling how long he'll last with a separated non-throwing shoulder. If you need him this week be very cautious. WR Calvin Johnson will also start today for the Lions. | 3 hours | |
| 62. | Will Davis | (RotoWire) The Cardinals are hopeful that Davis (right knee) will be able to play again this season, the Arizona Republic reports. Analysis: He is expected to miss four-to-six weeks after undergoing surgery to repair a torn meniscus. Arizona is going to try to keep a roster spot for Davis in the hope that he will be able to return for the end of the regular season and/or the playoffs. This is a vote of confidence for Davis, a rookie that is showing marked improvement. He has two sacks in his last three games and he has also been valuable on special teams. | 3 hours | |
| 63. | Derrick Williams | (RotoWire) Williams is inactive for Thursday's game against the Packers. Analysis: The third-rounder has been limited to just five catches for 47 yards in six games thus far, so he has much to prove before he is on anyone's fantasy radar. | 3 hours | |
| 64. | Lions inactives for Week 12 | (FFChamps) The Detroit Lions have announced the following players as inactive for today's game against the Green Bay Packers: QB Drew Stanton, DE Dewayne White, S Kalvin Pearson, WR Derrick Williams, FB Terrelle Smith, OLB Ernie Sims, C Melvin Fowler, and T Ephraim Salaam. Analysis: Shockingly, Matthew Stafford and Calvin Johnson are both active and will start in today's Thanksgiving Day game against the Packers even though neither of them practiced this week. Without either of them, the Lions had next to no chance in this game. Now that they're both... (More) | 3 hours | |
| 65. | Louis Delmas | (RotoWire) Delmas (ankle) is active for Thursday's game against the Packers. Analysis: It looks safe to roll with Delmas (who has 55 tackles, a pick and sack in nine games) Thursday if he is one of your IDPs. | 3 hours | |
| 66. | Packers inactives for Week 12 | (FFChamps) The Green Bay Packers have announced the following players as inactive for today's game against the Detroit Lions: T/G Allen Barbre, CB Josh Bell, RB Ahman Green, WR Biren Ealy, FB Quinn Johnson, T Mark Tauscher, T Breno Giancomini, DE Jarius Wynn, S Matt Giordano, and OLB Aaron Kampman. Analysis: As expected Aaron Kampman is inactive and will be a big loss on the Packers defense. With Barbre out, that will be another hole at offensive line for Packers which has given up a league-leading 43 sacks. | 3 hours | |
| 67. | Kevin Smith | (RotoWire) Smith (hip) is active for Thursday's game against the Packers. Analysis: Smith is averaging just 3.5 yards per carry and hasn't scored since Week 4, but on the plus side he's had at least 12 carries in each of the 10 games he has played this season. | 3 hours | |
| 68. | Matt Bryant | (RotoWire) Bryant and Mike Nugent will work out for the Cardinals on Thursday because Arizona's kicker (Neil Rackers) is nursing a groin injury, the team's official site reports. Analysis: The Cardinals are optimistic that Rackers will be able to play on Sunday, but they're concerned enough to arrange this tryout as a backup plan. | 3 hours | |
| 69. | Lions | Megatron active for Week 12 | (KFFL) The NFL Network reports Detroit Lions WR Calvin Johnson (hand, knee) is active for the team's Week 12 game against the Green Bay Packers. | 3 hours | |
| 70. | Alex Barron drawing penalties | (Rotoworld) Rams LT Alex Barron has been the most penalized player in the league this season. Analysis: He's actually tied with Bills LT Demetrius Bell with 10 penalties, but Barron's 10 have cost the Rams 50 yards. Bell's have only cost Buffalo 32. Barron has always been a false start machine, which won't help his stock on the 2010 free agent market. He was also benched for a game in early October. | 3 hours | |
| 71. | Mike Nugent | (RotoWire) Nugent and Matt Bryant will work out for the Cardinals on Thursday because Arizona's kicker (Neil Rackers) is nursing a groin injury, the team's official site reports. Analysis: The Cardinals are optimistic that Rackers will be able to play on Sunday, but they're concerned enough to arrange this tryout as a backup plan. | 3 hours | |
| 72. | Charles Woodson | (RotoWire) Woodson (hip) is active for Thursday's game against the Lions. Analysis: Feel free to roll with the playmaking Woodson (47 tackles, one sack, three forced fumbles and five interceptions in 10 games) as you normally would. | 3 hours | |
| 73. | Neil Rackers | (RotoWire) Because of Rackers' groin injury, the Cardinals have invited veteran kickers Mike Nugent and Matt Bryant for a Thursday tryout, the team's official site reports. Analysis: The Cardinals are still hopeful that Rackers will be able to play on Sunday, but this is an indication that his injury is more significant than previously believed. He was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. | 3 hours | |
| 74. | Ryan Grant | (RotoWire) Grant (neck) is active for Thursday's game against the Lions. Analysis: The 2-8 Lions have a pretty giving defense, setting Grant and the Packers' offense up for what looks like a pretty good holiday matchup Thursday. | 3 hours | |
| 75. | Ahman Green | (RotoWire) Green (groin) is inactive for Thursday's game against the Lions. Analysis: Brandon Jackson will once again handle the duties as the Packers' No. 2 back this week. | 3 hours | |
| 76. | Lions declare inactives | (Rotoworld) Lions declared WR Derrick Williams, S Kalvin Pearson, FB Terrelle Smith, LB Ernie Sims, C Melvin Fowler, OT Ephraim Salaam, and DE Dewayne White inactive for Thursday's game against Green Bay. Analysis: White's loss is the biggest blow here. He is the Lions' best all-around defensive end. DeAndre Levy will start at weak-side linebacker, as he has been for several weeks. Dennis Northcutt will be Detroit's third receiver. | 3 hours | |
| 77. | Packers declare inactives | (Rotoworld) Packers declared RB Ahman Green, WR Biren Ealy, CB Josh Bell, S Matt Giordano, T Breno Giacomini, T Allen Barbre, LB Aaron Kampman, and DE Jarius Wynn inactive for Thanksgiving Day. Analysis: Brandon Jackson is the third-down back behind Ryan Grant. Mark Tauscher and Chad Clifton will start at the tackles. Kampman will go on I.R. next week. | 3 hours | |
| 78. | Fargas to get his work? | (Rotoworld) Raiders beat writer Jerry McDonald says to "go ahead and assume" Justin Fargas will get 10 carries or more against the Cowboys Thursday. Analysis: We still don't know who will start for the Raiders, but McDonald says that Michael Bush may have moved to the back of the line thanks to his fumble last week. Darren McFadden could get the nod, but avoid this situation Thursday. | 3 hours | |
| 79. | Calvin Johnson | (RotoWire) Johnson (knee) is listed as active for Thursday's game against the Packers. Analysis: It's uncertain how close to 100 percent Johnson is, but the Lions' top wideout is out there starting and surprisingly will have Matthew Stafford throwing to him Thursday. | 3 hours | |
| 80. | Matthew Stafford | (RotoWire) Stafford (non-throwing shoulder) will start Thursday's game against the Packers, according to the Lions' press box. Analysis: Daunte Culpepper is on hand should Stafford suffer a setback, but he's giving it a go despite having headed into the game listed as doubtful. | 3 hours | |
| 81. | Calvin Johnson, Matt Stafford will both ... | (Rotoworld) Calvin Johnson and Matthew Stafford are both in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against Green Bay. Analysis: Both players appeared likely to sit this one out after missing practice all week. Stafford was even listed as doubtful on the injury report. Get Johnson into fantasy lineups immediately. While the Packers' pass rushers will probably gun for Stafford's dislocated left arm, he gives Johnson a much better chance for a big fantasy day than Daunte Culpepper ever could have. | 3 hours | |
| 82. | Lions | Stafford to start against Green Bay | (KFFL) Michael Lombardi, of The NFL Network, reports Detroit Lions QB Matthew Stafford (knee, shoulder) will start against the Green Bay Packers Thursday, Nov. 26. | 3 hours | |
| 83. | Matthew Stafford to start against GB | (Rotoworld) Matthew Stafford will start Sunday against the Packers. Analysis: Stafford is quickly earning a rep as one of the toughest players in the league. While he's only a QB2 play against the Packers' No. 7 pass defense, he makes Calvin Johnson and Kevin Smith much better fantasy gambles. | 4 hours | |
| 84. | Foster to start first NFL game | (Rotoworld) Ramon Foster will make his first NFL start against the Ravens Sunday. Analysis: Foster is filling in at left guard for Chris Kemoeatu, who has a sprained knee. It's an obvious downgrade for the Steelers as Foster struggled in pass protection last week after Kemoeatu went down. Ben Roethlisberger (concussion) needs to be careful Sunday night. | 4 hours | |
| 85. | Brandon Jacobs to 'carry the load' | (Rotoworld) Brandon Jacobs "will have to carry the load" Thursday at Denver, according to FOX Sports' John Czarnecki. Analysis: Czarnecki says Danny Ware will be the "nickel running back," or strictly a third-down player. The Giants probably won't entrust Ware with much work considering he's touched the football four times all year. Jacobs has a terrific matchup against a Broncos run defense that's falling apart. He's an RB1. | 4 hours | |
| 86. | Report: Jimmy Clausen to enter 2010 NFL ... | (Rotoworld) Citing sources, ESPN's Joe Schad reports that Notre Dame QB Jimmy Clausen will enter the 2010 NFL Draft. Analysis: Clausen's mind is probably already made up as the Irish head to Stanford for their regular season finale. Schad says Clausen's NFL stock is on the rise thanks to his quick release, pinpoint accuracy (67.3% completions), and improved footwork as a third-year junior. Charlie Weis hasn't proven to be the answer at Notre Dame, but his pro-style system also helps Clausen's case. | 4 hours | |
| 87. | Report: Witten is expected to start Thur... | (Rotoworld) FOX Sports' John Czarnecki reports that Jason Witten (questionable, foot) "is expected to start" Thursday against Oakland. Analysis: It's just unclear how healthy Witten is and we'd still double check the pregame inactives. Foot sprains are often multi-week injuries. He isn't running downfield routes this season, and any lower-body injuries will further discourage playcaller Jason Garrett from using Witten as a seam stretcher. As usual, Witten will probably catch 3-5 balls around the line of scrimmage and block when the Cowboys are in goal-to-go situations. | 4 hours | |
| 88. | Vincent Jackson | (RotoWire) Jackson is awaiting the result of X-rays on his ribs, but said he is planning on playing Sunday against the Chiefs, the San Diego Union-Tribune reports. Analysis: We should have a much better idea of where Jackson is at on Friday once the Chargers release their official Week 12 injury report. | 4 hours | |
| 89. | Mora confirms Jones will start if he can... | (Rotoworld) Seahawks coach Jim Mora confirmed that Julius Jones (ribs, lung) will start if he can play Sunday. Analysis: Mora admitted that Jones' conditioning will be an issue if he does get on the field. Jones missed practice on Wednesday and could come down to a game-time decision in a 1 p.m. ET start. Justin Forsett will be ready to step in against the Rams' porous rush defense if Jones can't go. | 4 hours | |
| 90. | James Anderson | (RotoWire) Season-ending injuries to Thomas Davis and Landon Johnson have thrust Anderson into a starting linebacker role. Analysis: See how he does against the Jets this week, but Anderson could be worth a pickup if he can come close to matching Davis' production. | 4 hours | |
| 91. | Tarell Brown | (RotoWire) Brown (knee) could lose his starting left cornerback spot on Sunday when the 49ers play the Jaguars at home, the San Francisco Chronicle reports. Analysis: Brown had two major gaffes in the 49ers' Week 11 game which resulted in a pair of touchdowns for the Packers offense. If coach Mike Singletary decides to make the change, Brown will be replaced by veteran Dre Bly. Bly has not started a game for the 49ers this season but has notched 111 starts in 161 regular season games. | 4 hours | |
| 92. | Bucs want to see what they have in Stova... | (Rotoworld) Bucs offensive coordinator Greg Olson said the team knows they need to see what they have in Maurice Stovall because the receiver's contract is up after this season. Analysis: Assuming there is no CBA agreement, Stovall will be an unrestricted free agent. Antonio Bryant is back and starting, but look for Stovall to rotate in plenty down the stretch. He's a talented and big target which should help rookie quarterback Josh Freeman. | 4 hours | |
| 93. | Calvin Johnson | (RotoWire) The Lions plan to work Johnson (knee) out before the team's Thanksgiving tilt against the Packers to determine his availability for the game. Analysis: ESPN's Adam Schefter says he has a "hunch" that Johnson won't go, but this looks like a true game-time decision, with the odds perhaps slightly tilted against him. More on his status as kickoff approaches. | 4 hours | |
| 94. | J. Lewis limited Wednesday | (TheHuddle) NFL.com reports Cleveland Browns RB Jamal Lewis was limited in practice Wednesday, Nov. 25. Analysis: Jamal has been ceding carries to Chris Jennings of late, and since he's short-timing it with a Browns' team that is clearly in rebuilding mode it wouldn't be at all surprising to see him continue to lose touches regardless of his injury status. | 4 hours | |
| 95. | Haynesworth misses practice Wednesday | (TheHuddle) NFL.com reports Washington Redskins DT Albert Haynesworth missed the team's practice Wednesday, Nov. 25. Analysis: Haynesworth has been outstanding when healthy, but--just as in Tennessee--part of the problem is keeping him on the field. | 4 hours | |
| 96. | Cards to work out Nugent, Bryant | (TheHuddle) Adam Schefter, of ESPN, reports the Arizona Cardinals are scheduled to work out free-agent PKs Mike Nugent and Matt Bryant Thursday, Nov. 26, according to a league source. However, it is more of a precaution with PK Neil Rackers injured. Rackers is expected to be able to kick in Week 12. Analysis: It's worth keeping an eye on the situation, as you can ill afford to take a goose egg from your fantasy kicker. | 4 hours | |
| 97. | Witten will play Thursday | (TheHuddle) Updating previous reports, NFL.com reports Dallas Cowboys TE Jason Witten will play in the team's Week 12 game Thursday, Nov. 26, according to the NFL Network's Michael Lombardi. Analysis: That's good news. It would be great news if Witten were putting up anything close to his numbers from last year; instead, he's at best a borderline fantasy play this week against a sound Raiders pass defense. | 4 hours | |
| 98. | Dawkins expected to play Thursday | (TheHuddle) The Associated Press reports Denver Broncos head coach Josh McDaniels said FS Brian Dawkins should play in Week 12 Thursday, Nov. 26. Analysis: At this juncture the Broncos could use all the help they can get to stop the losing skid. | 4 hours | |
| 99. | Benson limited Wednesday | (TheHuddle) Correcting a previous report, The Associated Press reports Cincinnati Bengals RB Cedric Benson was limited in practice Wednesday, Nov. 25, and is "very close" to being able to play in Week 12. Analysis: This is good news for Bengals fans and Benson owners, as Cincy has a date with the abysmal Browns' run defense this week. However, there's a difference between "very close" to being able to play and actually playing, so we'll track Benson's practice status the rest of the way. Keep Bernard Scott on speed dial just in case. | 4 hours | |
| 100. | Cartwright will be feature back | (Rotoworld) Redskins coach Jim Zorn confirmed that Rock Cartwright will be the feature back this week, with Quinton Ganther and Marcus Mason also rotating in. Analysis: It's not a coincidence that Cartwright was a special teamer for his entire career. He's not that talented, but he runs hard and it very motivated to prove he can handle this opportunity. Look for about 15 touches out of Cartwright Sunday against the Eagles, making him a solid flex play. | 4 hours |
