|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1. | Eagles | J. Parker injured Week 11 | (KFFL) CBSSports.com reports Philadelphia Eagles DE Juqua Parker (undisclosed) left the field Week 11 with an injury and was replaced by DE Victor Abiamiri. | 14 minutes | |
| 2. | Giants | Seubert undergoes X-rays Sunday | (KFFL) Ralph Vacchiano, of the New York Daily News, reports New York Giants OG Rich Seubert (undisclosed) was seen coming out of the X-ray room after the team's Week 11 game Sunday, Nov. 22. Seubert wouldn't say what he was having X-rays taken of, but he has been battling a shoulder injury. | 18 minutes | |
| 3. | Giants | Nicks undergoes X-rays Sunday | (KFFL) Ralph Vacchiano, of the New York Daily News, reports New York Giants WR Hakeem Nicks (undisclosed) was seen coming out of the X-ray room after the team's Week 11 game Sunday, Nov. 22. Nicks wouldn't say what he was having X-rays taken of, but he has been battling a foot injury. | 19 minutes | |
| 4. | Giants | Webster dinged Week 11 | (KFFL) Ralph Vacchiano, of the New York Daily News, reports New York Giants CB Corey Webster (ribs) missed a few plays Week 11 after he took an elbow or knee to his ribs. Webster said he just had the wind knocked out of him. | 20 minutes | |
| 5. | Giants | Diehl has ankle rolled Week 11 | (KFFL) Ralph Vacchiano, of the New York Daily News, reports New York Giants OT David Diehl (ankle) said his right ankle got rolled on after a play Week 11. Diehl missed two plays, but he is fine. | 20 minutes | |
| 6. | Giants | Jacobs says he could've played in overtime Week 11 | (KFFL) Updating a previous item, Ralph Vacchiano, of the New York Daily News, reports New York Giants RB Brandon Jacobs (knee) never returned to the team's Week 11 game after injuring his right knee. Jacobs said, "I could've went back in during overtime, but coach wanted to be more explosive and we've got two great backs that had control of the game. It didn't really make any sense for me to go in." | 21 minutes | |
| 7. | Raiders | Seymour's injury doesn't appear serious | (KFFL) Updating a previous item, CBSSports.com reports Oakland Raiders DE Richard Seymour's (back) lower back injury "doesn't look serious," according to head coach Tom Cable. | 38 minutes | |
| 8. | Brent Grimes back in starting lineup | (Rotoworld) Brent Grimes returned to the Falcons' starting lineup Sunday, taking over for Tye Hill at left cornerback. Analysis: This helps explain Eli Manning's nearly 400-yard passing day. Grimes has consistently been picked on by opposing quarterbacks for the last 1 1/2 years. Hill isn't a clearly-superior option, but Grimes can't stop anyone. | 38 minutes | |
| 9. | Raiders | Ekejiuba injured Week 11 | (KFFL) CBSSports.com reports Oakland Raiders LB Isaiah Ekejiuba (knee) suffered a knee injury Week 11. Head coach Tom Cable said he doesn't know the "extent" of Ekejiuba's knee injury, but it does appear to be serious. | 39 minutes | |
| 10. | Julian Edelman | (RotoWire) Edelman (forearm) caught three passes for 26 yards in Sunday's win over the Jets. Analysis: Edelman has been a nice role player for the Pats this season, but there normally hasn't been a lot to go around for the team's other receivers once Randy Moss and Wes Welker get their usual share of targets. | 1 hour | |
| 11. | Benjarvus Green-Ellis | (RotoWire) Green-Ellis carried five times for 10 yards in Sunday's win over the Jets. Analysis: Green-Ellis could move down a notch in the Patriots' running back pecking order as soon as next week, if Sammy Morris returns Monday against the Saints. | 1 hour | |
| 12. | Jacob Hester | (RotoWire) Hester ran for a career-high 46 yards on seven carries and caught three passes in Sunday's 32-3 win at Denver. Analysis: Because San Diego controlled the game, Hester and fellow fullback Mike Tolbert both had seven carries, although Tolbert finished with 58 yards and scored a touchdown. Hester is the starter and on the field more, but neither player has much fantasy value. | 1 hour | |
| 13. | Kevin Faulk | (RotoWire) Faulk carried twice for four yards and caught five passes for 53 yards in Sunday's win over the Jets. Analysis: This was a more typical usage of Faulk by the Patriots -- i.e. more involved in the passing game than as a runner -- than last week's season-high workload of 12 carries. | 1 hour | |
| 14. | Laurence Maroney | (RotoWire) Maroney carried 22 times for 77 yards with two touchdowns in Sunday's win over the Jets. Analysis: Sammy Morris could be back by next Monday, but Maroney's hard running against the Jets could keep him at the head of the Pats' RB committee even when reinforcements come in. | 1 hour | |
| 15. | Mike Tolbert | (RotoWire) Tolbert had seven carries for a career-best 58 yards and scored the first rushing touchdown of his career in Sunday's 32-3 win at Denver. Analysis: San Diego controlled the game early and ended up running the ball 43 times with four different players receiving at least seven carries, so don't expect this type of game from Tolbert moving forward. | 1 hour | |
| 16. | Cowboys | Romo not expected to miss Week 12 | (KFFL) Todd Archer, of The Dallas Morning News, reports Dallas Cowboys QB Tony Romo (back) has a sore back after taking a knee to the back Week 11. Romo said he took a pain-killing injection afterward, but he doesn't think it will keep him out of the Week 12 game. Romo said, "As long as it's not a broken bone that keeps you from missing time. I felt like with the adrenaline of the game you can always play. It hurts right before the snap and right after." | 1 hour | |
| 17. | Tom Brady | (RotoWire) Brady completed 28-of-41 passes for 310 yards with a touchdown in Sunday's win over the Jets. Analysis: Brady, who connected with Wes Welker on 15 passes, was sacked twice, but once again moved well in the pocket overall, as he continues to distance himself from last season's knee injury. | 1 hour | |
| 18. | Justin Fargas | (RotoWire) Fargas had a team-high eight carries for 32 yards and caught two passes for 17 yards in Sunday's 20-17 win over Cincinnati. Analysis: Fargas was probably the team's best offensive player when Darren McFadden was out with an injury. McFadden (six carries for 25 yards) is now back in the mix, along with Michael Bush (four rushes for 27 yards), so it's hard to predict how much work Fargas will get from week-to-week. | 1 hour | |
| 19. | Randy Moss | (RotoWire) Moss had five catches for 34 yards with a touchdown in Sunday's win over the Jets. Analysis: The Jets managed to contain Moss for the most part, but in doing so they allowed Wes Welker to run wild, as he hauled in 15 passes for 192 yards Sunday. Next Monday, it will be the Saints who will need to pick their poison in determining how to cover the Pats' talented wideout duo. | 1 hour | |
| 20. | Kampman's season may be over | (FFChamps) According to Green Bay Packers' beat writer Greg Bedard (reporting on Twitter), linebacker Aaron Kampman tore his ACL in the team's 30-24 victory over the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday. Analysis: After recording 37 combined sacks over the previous three seasons, Kampman had only 3.5 this season before he went down with his knee injury. Brady Poppinga is listed behind Kampman on the Packers' depth chart, and will probably start in his absence. | 1 hour | |
| 21. | Michael Bush | (RotoWire) Bush had a team-low four carries for 27 yards in Sunday's upset win over Cincinnati. Analysis: Bush started, although he received four fewer carries than Justin Fargas and two less than Darren McFadden. Bush had a big game the previous week, going over 100 yards, but it seems like each week a different runner leads the team in rushing. | 1 hour | |
| 22. | Darren McFadden | (RotoWire) McFadden had six carries for 25 yards and caught three passes for 10 yards in Sunday's 20-17 win over Cincinnati. Analysis: Meanwhile, Justin Fargas carried the ball eight times for 32 yards and Michael Bush added four rushes for 27 yards. Unless McFadden is still injured, it's sort of curious why Oakland would give an even distribution of work among three runners, considering McFadden was a high draft pick. While Fargas and Bush aren't stiffs, at some point the Raiders need to feature McFadden to see if he can be an every-down back. | 1 hour | |
| 23. | Matthew Stafford | (RotoWire) Initial X-rays on Stafford's left (non-throwing) shoulder came back negative Sunday, the Detroit Free Press reports. Analysis: Coach Jim Schwartz said that Stafford, who was in obvious pain at the end of Sunday's win over the Browns, was having more tests, adding that it was too early to tell whether Stafford would be able to turn around on the short week to play Thursday against Green Bay. | 1 hour | |
| 24. | Brandon Pettigrew | (RotoWire) Pettigrew made six catches for 72 yards and scored the game-winning touchdown in Sunday's 38-37 win over Cleveland. Analysis: Pettigrew caught a one-yard score from Matthew Stafford with no time remaining to complete the come-from-behind win. Stafford finished with 422 yards and five touchdowns, an encouraging sign for Pettigrew and the rest of the offense, even against the defensively-challenged Browns. | 1 hour | |
| 25. | Betts may have torn MCL | (FFChamps) According to the Washington D.C. radio station, 106.7 "The Fan," Redskins' running back Ladell Betts tore "at least his MCL, likely an ACL" in today's 7-6 loss to the rival Dallas Cowboys. Betts injured the knee on a tackle by Dallas linebacker Bradie James, and eventually had to be carted off the field with his leg in an aircast. Analysis: After the hit by James, Betts initially walked off the field (with some assistance), but was seen being carted towards the locker room shortly thereafter. This report is obviously not official, but Redskins' fans and Betts' fantasy owners can't like what they're... (More) | 1 hour | |
| 26. | Calvin Johnson | (RotoWire) Johnson (hand) hauled in seven passes for a career-high 161 yards, including a 75-yard touchdown, in Sunday's wild 38-37 win over Cleveland. Analysis: This is just what Johnson needed - to face a soft defense like the Browns. Just as encouraging for Johnson is that rookie quarterback Matthew Stafford went off for 422 yards and five touchdowns, an impressive performance even against lowly Cleveland. Johnson was even a factor when he wasn't catching passes, drawing a huge pass interference call in the endzone with no time remaining to set up Stafford's game-winning touchdown pass to Brandon Pettigrew. | 2 hours | |
| 27. | Patriots | Bodden intercepts three passes Week 11 | (KFFL) The Associated Press reports New England Patriots CB Leigh Bodden intercepted three passes Week 11. Bodden returned one of the interceptions 53 yards for a touchdown. | 2 hours | |
| 28. | Patriots | Welker catches 15 passes Week 11 | (KFFL) The Associated Press reports New England Patriots WR Wes Welker had career highs with 15 receptions for 192 yards Week 11. He also had one carry for 11 rushing yards in the game. | 2 hours | |
| 29. | Patriots | Maroney scores twice Week 11 | (KFFL) The Associated Press reports New England Patriots RB Laurence Maroney had 22 carries for 77 yards with two rushing touchdowns Week 11. | 2 hours | |
| 30. | Breaston catch-less in Week 11 | (Rotoworld) Steve Breaston was held without a catch by the Rams in Week 11. Analysis: Breaston didn't even see a target. Larry Fitzgerald (87 yards, one TD) and Anquan Boldin (103 yards, TD) dominated all over the field. Breaston probably would've at least had some production if Kurt Warner hadn't missed the entire second half with a "mild" concussion. He should rebound in Week 12. | 2 hours | |
| 31. | Patriots | Brady throws for 310 yards Week 11 | (KFFL) The Associated Press reports New England Patriots QB Tom Brady was 28-for-41 for 310 yards with a touchdown Week 11 against the New York Jets. | 2 hours | |
| 32. | Jets | Sanchez throws four picks Week 11 | (KFFL) The Associated Press reports New York Jets QB Mark Sanchez was 8-for-21 for 136 yards with a touchdown pass and four interceptions Week 11 against the New England Patriots. | 2 hours | |
| 33. | M. Bell scores twice Week 11 | (TheHuddle) The Associated Press reports New Orleans Saints RB Mike Bell had 13 carries for 75 yards with two touchdowns Week 11. Analysis: Bell continues to vulture goal line touchdown opportunities in the New Orleans offense and remains fantasy relevent each week. Pierre Thomas also gets a fair amount of carries but Bell appears to be the man that the Saints turn to deep inside the redzone. | 2 hours | |
| 34. | Chambers has 119 yards receiving Week 11 | (TheHuddle) The Associated Press reports Kansas City Chiefs WR Chris Chambers caught four passes for 119 yards Week 11. Analysis: What an acquisition for the Kansas City getting Chambers from the Chargers to help rebuild an offense that has struggled to find consistency all season. Despite the fact that the Chiefs are without Dwayne Bowe due to suspension, the Chiefs were able to defeat the Steelers in Week 11 to register one of the biggest upsets so far this season. Chambers will likely continue to be a vital component for Kansas City's passing game for the remainder of the year. | 2 hours | |
| 35. | Rodgers plays well Week 11 | (TheHuddle) The Associated Press reports Green Bay Packers QB Aaron Rodgers went 32-for-45 for 344 yards and two touchdowns in Week 11. Analysis: Another solid outing for Rodgers and the Packers offense as the talented Green Bay signal-caller continues to make plays and guide the team to victory. However, with the Packers defense battling key injuries it would not be hard to imagine Rodgers' numbers not increasing over the last weeks of the season with Green Bay likely being involved in more high scoring games. | 2 hours | |
| 36. | Matt Prater | (RotoWire) Prater connected on his lone field goal attempt, a 23-yarder, on Sunday against San Diego. Analysis: Prater has done little as of late due to the Broncos' struggling offense and is easily replaceable as a kicker. | 2 hours | |
| 37. | Daniel Graham | (RotoWire) Graham had one catch for four yards on Sunday against San Diego. Analysis: Graham was hardly a viable fantasy starting option and has done nothing as of late to change that. | 2 hours | |
| 38. | 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 early in the fourth 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. Fa... (More) | 2 hours | |
| 39. | Peyton Hillis | (RotoWire) Hillis had one catch for three yards on Sunday against San Diego. Analysis: Hillis plays such a small role in the Broncos' offense that he is not even worthy of a roster spot at this point. | 2 hours | |
| 40. | Tony Scheffler | (RotoWire) Scheffler had one catch for 12 yards on Sunday against San Diego. Analysis: Scheffler has had a disappointing fantasy season so far and remains a questionable player for a roster spot. | 2 hours | |
| 41. | Brandon Marshall | (RotoWire) Marshall (neck) had three catches for 26 yards on Sunday against San Diego. Analysis: The injury to Kyle Orton has had an obvious effect on Marshall, who was just starting to get going over the past couple of weeks. If Orton can get healthy again, expect Marshall to put up the bigger numbers again. | 2 hours | |
| 42. | Raiders | Seymour injured Week 11 | (KFFL) The Associated Press reports Oakland Raiders DL Richard Seymour (back) left the team's Week 11 game with a lower back injury. | 2 hours | |
| 43. | Eddie Royal | (RotoWire) Royal had four catches for 29 yards on Sunday against San Diego. Analysis: Another awful fantasy performance from Royal, who should only be starting in desperate situations. | 2 hours | |
| 44. | Bengals | B. Scott runs for 119 yards | (KFFL) The Associated Press reports Cincinnati Bengals RB Bernard Scott had 21 carries for 119 yards Week 11. He also caught three passes for 32 receiving yards. | 2 hours | |
| 45. | Bengals | Palmer runs two TDs in Week 11 | (KFFL) The Associated Press reports Cincinnati Bengals QB Carson Palmer was 14-for-22 for 207 yards with an interception Week 11 against the Oakland Raiders. He did have four carries for seven yards with two one-yard touchdown runs. He is the first Bengals quarterback to rush for two touchdowns since former QB Jack Thompson in 1979. | 2 hours | |
| 46. | Cardinals | Breaston untargeted Week 11 | (KFFL) CBSSports.com reports Arizona Cardinals WR Steve Breaston wasn't targeted on a single pass Week 11. Breaston wasn't injured in the game and played his normal allotment. | 2 hours | |
| 47. | Jabar Gaffney | (RotoWire) Gaffney had three catches for 55 yards on Sunday against San Diego. Analysis: Another low scoring day for Gaffney, who shouldn't be on many fantasy rosters. | 2 hours | |
| 48. | Correll Buckhalter | (RotoWire) Buckhalter (knee) rushed seven times for 35 yards and has three catches for 46 yards on Sunday against San Diego. Analysis: Buckhalter had been hampered during the week in practice with a knee issue, but he put in a pretty standard game against the Chargers. While Buckhalter puts up decent yardage, he has only found the end zone once this season back in week 2. | 2 hours | |
| 49. | Jacobs injured Week 11 | (TheHuddle) The Associated Press reports New York Giants RB Brandon Jacobs (leg) had 12 carries for 39 yards with a touchdown Week 11 before leaving with right leg injury in the third quarter. There was no immediate word on the severity of the injury. Analysis: Jacobs was out of the contest during most of the fourth quarter and the overtime period and should be evaluated further on Monday to determine the severity of the injury. Fantasy owners could expect an increase in carries for Ahmad Bradshaw if Jacobs is out of action for any length of time. | 2 hours | |
| 50. | Ruvell Martin | (RotoWire) Martin caught his first pass as a Ram on Sunday against Arizona and it went for five yards. Analysis: An inauspicious start to say the least for Martin who was signed by the Rams after Week 1 but has been inactive every week since due to his initial unfamiliarity with the offense and then a lingering hamstring injury. With the club already having lost three wide-outs to season ending injuries this year we fully expect Martin to be active the rest of the year and show the club what he's capable of. As for now he's No. 4 on the club's wide receiver depth chart but that could change in a hurry on this team. | 2 hours | |
| 51. | Knowshon Moreno | (RotoWire) Moreno had ten carries for 80 yards and one catch for six yards on Sunday against San Diego. Analysis: Moreno fumbled within the Chargers' five-yard line, which led to an argument and shoving match with wide receiver Brandon Marshall. Fantasy owners were reminded that despite the preseason hype and top spot on the Broncos' running back depth chart, Moreno has only scored two touchdowns all season. He remains the #1 back for the Broncos, but still struggles to put up big fantasy numbers. | 2 hours | |
| 52. | Jamaal Charles | (RotoWire) Charles had 17 carries for 58 yards and caught a touchdown pass in Sunday's 27-24 overtime win over Pittsburgh. Charles also took the opening kickoff of the game for a 97-yard touchdown. Analysis: The Steelers boast a tough rush defense, so it's not much of a surprise that Charles was bottled up a bit. Charles was able to contribute in other ways, however, with his short touchdown grab and long kickoff return. Kolby Smith had only one carry for three yards and left the game with an ankle injury. If Smith's injury turns out to be anything significant, Charles won't have much competition for carries with third-string Dantrell Savage already out with his own ankle... (More) | 2 hours | |
| 53. | Chris Simms | (RotoWire) Simms completed 2-of-4 passes for 10 yards and a lost fumble in less than two quarters of action on Sunday against San Diego. Analysis: Simms was removed with 4:10 left in the second quarter for Kyle Orton, who was questionable going into the game because of an injured ankle. With Orton back in action, Simms will likely not see the field much more. | 2 hours | |
| 54. | Michael Bush has four carries in win | (Rotoworld) Michael Bush carried four times for 27 yards in Week 11. Analysis: He started, but was used less than both Justin Fargas and Darren McFadden. Bush should confidently be left on fantasy benches going forward. | 2 hours | |
| 55. | McFadden gets nine touches | (Rotoworld) Darren McFadden ran for 25 yards on six carries and caught three passes for 10 yards in the Raiders' Week 11 win. Analysis: McFadden's nine touches were second to Justin Fargas (ten), even though Michael Bush (four) started the game. McFadden will be the best bet for work here going forward, but he needs to make Fargas and Bush irrelevant again to be considered for fantasy use. He is still worth owning in all leagues. | 2 hours | |
| 56. | LaMarr Woodley | (RotoWire) Woodley had a pair of sacks in Sunday's loss to Kansas City. Analysis: Woodley has shown up in the sack column for the second straight week, marking the first time this year he has recorded a sack in consecutive games. He now has five on the season. | 2 hours | |
| 57. | Roethlisberger leaves game after blow to head | (FFChamps) Pittsburgh Steelers' quarterback Ben Roethlisberger left Sunday's 27-24 overtime loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, after taking what appeared to be a knee to the head. The injury occured on a sack of Roethlisberger by Chiefs' linebacker Derrick Johnson during the overtime period. Charlie Batch replaced Roethlisberger, and attempted only two passes (completing one) before Kansas City won the game on their next possession. Analysis: Before getting hurt, Roethlisberger was having another monster game, which has become more the norm than the exc... (More) | 2 hours | |
| 58. | Tinoisamoa, Pisa | Chi | (SportsGrumblings) Bears LB Pisa Tinoisamoa out | 2 hours | |
| 59. | Randy McMichael | (RotoWire) McMichael had two receptions for 17 yards in Week 11 against Arizona. Analysis: This is pretty much par for the course for McMichael who has not sniffed the endzone this year but tends to catch 3-5 passes a game for 20-40 yards. Not exactly fantasy roster material. | 2 hours | |
| 60. | Kyle Orton | (RotoWire) Orton (ankle) completed 15-of-29 passes for 171 yards and one interception on Sunday against San Diego. Analysis: Orton, who did not start the game, entered with 4:10 left in the second quarter for an ineffective Chris Simms. While Orton was clearly injured enough not to start the game, the coaching staff was confident that he could help the Broncos even with the injured ankle. Nevertheless, the team lost 32-3 and Orton struggled in action. | 2 hours | |
| 61. | Warner injured Week 11 | (TheHuddle) NFL.com reports Arizona Cardinals QB Kurt Warner (head) left the team's Week 11 game after suffering a blow to the head. Warner completed 15 of 19 passes for 203 yards and 2 touchdowns in the game. Analysis: Warner did not return to the game after leaving and gave way to backup Matt Leinart who completed 10 of 14 passes for 74 yards in relief. It is currently unclear as to the severity of the injury to Warner so fantasy owners need to keep an eye on this situation. Warner will be evaluated further on Monday to determine if he will miss any time with this injury. | 2 hours | |
| 62. | Kampman expected to miss rest of season | (TheHuddle) The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, reports Green Bay Packers LB Aaron Kampman (knee) likely will miss the rest of the season because the initial diagnosis is a torn anterior cruciate ligament, according to a source. Analysis: This is another key injury to the Packers defense and also a season-ender for Kampman which presents Green Bay with even more problems on its defensive unit. Fantasy owners that have the Packers defense should expect a possible decline in production due to the fact that they lost two key starters which will be hard to replace for the rest of the season. | 2 hours | |
| 63. | A. Harris suffers torn ACL | (TheHuddle) The Green Bay Press-Gazette reports Green Bay Packers CB Al Harris (knee) suffered a torn ACL Week 11 and is out for the season, according to his agent. Harris will undergo an MRI exam Monday, Nov. 23, to make sure, but team physician Dr. Patrick McKenzie diagnosed the injury as a torn ACL. Analysis: This is devastating news for the Packers and for fantasy owners in IDP leagues that owned the versatile Green Bay cornerback. Tramon Williams will likely take over for Harris for the remainder of the season due to this injury. | 2 hours | |
| 64. | Heyward-Bey continues struggles | (Rotoworld) Darrius Heyward-Bey caught just one ball for seven yards in Week 11. Analysis: Heyward-Bey was second on the Raiders with six targets, but he continues to struggle badly. He had multiple drops and has made very few big plays all season. The surprise No. 7 overall pick has just seven receptions on the year. | 2 hours | |
| 65. | Westbrook, Brian | Phi | (SportsGrumblings) Eagles RB Westbrook inactive | 2 hours | |
| 66. | Harris, Al | GB | (SportsGrumblings) Packers CB Al Harris suffers torn ACL Analysis: Veteran cornerback Al Harris has been lost for the season with a torn ACL, according to a league source.<p> Harris, who turns 35 next month, was injured in the fourth quarter. He was running in coverage with 49ers wide receiver Michael Crabtree when he went down. Harris was taken by cart to the locker room. (National Football Post) | 2 hours | |
| 67. | Edwards quiet once again | (Rotoworld) Braylon Edwards caught just one pass for 10 yards in Sunday's loss to the Patriots. Analysis: Mark Sanchez never got it going and Edwards suffered. This will happen with a wildly inconsistent rookie quarterback. Edwards hasn't topped four catches since Week 5 and is a WR3 heading into next week's game against the Panthers. | 2 hours | |
| 68. | Felix Jones | (RotoWire) Jones had 10 carries for 49 yards and added one catch for seven yards in Sunday's 7-6 win over Washington. Analysis: Believe it or not, 10 carries represents a career high for Jones. Marion Barber was the usual workhorse for Dallas on Sunday with 20 rushes, but Jones looks like the clear-cut No. 2 as Tashard Choice had only one carry for one yard. | 2 hours | |
| 69. | James Laurinaitis | (RotoWire) Laurinaitis unofficially had 16 tackles during the Rams' loss to the Cardinals in Week 11. Analysis: The club has made some really bad draft picks over the last five years but Laurinaitis isn't one of them. He should be a staple in the middle of the Rams' linebacking corp for years to come. | 2 hours | |
| 70. | Casey Hampton | (RotoWire) Hampton recorded a sack against Kansas City in Week 11. Analysis: Hampton is not known for his prowess at taking down quarterbacks. Sunday's sack was his second of the season, which ties his career high. | 2 hours | |
| 71. | Adrian Wilson | (RotoWire) Wilson (groin) recorded an interception for the second time in as many games on Sunday. He finished with five tackles (three solo). Analysis: A favorable remaining schedule could help him to a new career-high in interceptions. Wilson needs just one more to tie his current record of four (set in 2002 and tied in 2006). | 2 hours | |
| 72. | Brian Leonard gets 13 carries | (Rotoworld) Brian Leonard got 13 carries for 36 yards in Week 11. Analysis: Leonard actually started over Bernard Scott and saw the game's first carry, but finished with just the 13 carries and no touches compared to Scott's 24 touches. Leonard will resume his third-down role with Cedric Benson (hip) due back. Safely leave Leonard on fantasy waiver wires. | 2 hours | |
| 73. | Larry Johnson gets two carries | (Rotoworld) Larry Johnson got just two carries for five yards in Week 11. Analysis: Johnson lost three yards on his first try and gained eight on his second. Despite a decidedly run-heavy approach by the Bengals, L.J. was not a factor. He'll likely be inactive in Week 12 with Cedric Benson (hip) set to return. | 2 hours | |
| 74. | Keller has a disappointing game | (Rotoworld) Dustin Keller caught three passes for 38 yards in Sunday's loss to the Patriots. Analysis: Keller came back to earth after 14 catches in his previous two games. It wasn't surprising considering how well Brandon McGowan and the Patriots defend tight ends. He's a low-end TE1 against the Panthers next week. | 2 hours | |
| 75. | Steven Jackson | (RotoWire) Jackson carried the ball 24 times for 116 yards and one touchdown during the Rams' loss to Arizona in Week 11. Analysis: The yards and TD were nice but Jackson's two receptions for zero yards were a bit disappointing. It appeared that Arizona was focused on taking away one aspect of Jackson's game and they did that, jumping all over the screen plays and swing passes the club has been regularly running throughout the year. Expect offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur to make the necessary changes next week to get Jackson back into the passing game. | 2 hours | |
| 76. | Darnell Dockett | (RotoWire) Dockett recorded a sack for a third straight game on Sunday. He finished with two tackles (both solo). Analysis: He's capable of getting hot for an extended period of time, as evidenced by the eight sacks that he made in the first eight games of the 2007 regular season. Dockett is inconsistent but talented. He's worth a look, especially since the Cardinals have a favorable remaining schedule. | 2 hours | |
| 77. | Lawrence Timmons | (RotoWire) Timmons notched three tackles, a sack and a forced fumble against the Chiefs in Week 11. Analysis: Timmons continues to show that when healthy, he is capable of being a factor for the Steel Curtain. Despite the ankle injuries he has had this year, he has recorded 41 tackles, 4 sacks and three forced fumbles in eight games (seven starts) this season. | 2 hours | |
| 78. | Broncos | Orton comes in relief Week 11 | (KFFL) The Associated Press reports Denver Broncos QB Kyle Orton (ankle) did not start Week 11 but did replace QB Chris Simms after three series. Orton finished the game 15-for-29 for 171 yards and one interception. | 2 hours | |
| 79. | Cotchery picks up a TD | (Rotoworld) Jerricho Cotchery caught three passes for 84 yards with a touchdown in Sunday's loss to the Patriots. Analysis: Cotchery's touchdown came on a pretty vertical route in which he beat Jonathan Wilhite. He also returned two punts for 25 yards and avoided any big hits. Cotchery seems to have better chemistry with Mark Sanchez than Braylon Edwards does right now and is a decent WR2 against the Panthers next week. | 2 hours | |
| 80. | Lions QB Stafford iffy for Thanksgiving ... | (Rotoworld) ESPN's Chris Mortensen reports that Matthew Stafford is "iffy" for Thursday's game against the Packers. Analysis: X-rays revealed no fracture to Stafford's collarbone, which the team initially feared, but he reentered Sunday's game against the advice of doctors. Stafford will undergo an MRI on Monday, though the secretive Lions won't tell anyone the results. They'll call him a "game-day decision" for Week 12. | 2 hours | |
| 81. | Brandon Gibson | (RotoWire) Gibson had a team-high five receptions for 61 yards during the Rams' loss to Arizona in Week 11. Analysis: Gibson got the start opposite Donnie Avery on Sunday and now looks like the Rams' definite No. 2 wide receiver moving forward. He's now caught 12 passes for 154 yards in two games and is worth a look in deep leagues. | 2 hours | |
| 82. | Gerald Hayes | (RotoWire) Hayes (hips, back) made three tackles (all solo) in his return from a two-game absence on Sunday. Analysis: He may have been rusty, although Hayes often produces inconsistent tackling totals. Barring a setback, he should be fine to deploy in Week 12. | 2 hours | |
| 83. | Karlos Dansby | (RotoWire) Dansby (shoulder) made nine tackles (eight solo) in Sunday's win over the Rams. Analysis: He played well on Sunday after being limited in all of Arizona's Week 11 practices. Dansby is on pace for 118 tackles this season, one shy of the career-high 119 that he made a year ago. | 2 hours | |
| 84. | 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. | 2 hours | |
| 85. | James Harrison | (RotoWire) Harrison had three tackles, a sack and a fumble recovery in Sunday's loss to the Chiefs. Analysis: Harrison's take-down of Matt Cassel was his 10th sack of the season, giving him double-digit sacks for the second straight season. Only Denver's Elvis Dumervil has more sacks among linebackers (12). | 2 hours | |
| 86. | Marc Bulger | (RotoWire) Bulger completed 19-of-37 passes for 215 yards while tossing one interception during Week 11 against Arizona. Analysis: Just another run-of-the-mill, average game for Bulger who shouldn't be anywhere near your starting line-up or bench unless you're in a very, very deep league. | 2 hours | |
| 87. | Greene given just three carries | (Rotoworld) Shonn Greene rushed just three times for negative one yard in Sunday's loss to the Patriots. Analysis: Greene was a non-factor. Since his 19-carry, two-touchdown outburst against the Raiders in Week 7, Greene has just 18 carries in three games. He's a dynasty gem but a mere handcuff to Thomas Jones in re-draft leagues. | 2 hours | |
| 88. | Bryant McFadden | (RotoWire) McFadden left Sunday's game in the second quarter due to a right knee contusion, according to the Arizona Republic. Analysis: Michael Adams made a career-high eight tackles in his place. A contusion doesn't sound that bad, but we'll have to wait and see regarding McFadden's Week 12 status. | 2 hours | |
| 89. | Chargers | Rivers effective Week 11 | (KFFL) The Associated Press reports San Diego Chargers QB Philip Rivers went 17-for-22 for 145 yards and one touchdown in Week 11. | 2 hours | |
| 90. | Billy Bajema | (RotoWire) Bajema caught one pass for six yards during the Rams' loss in Week 11 to Arizona. Analysis: Strictly FYI, as Bajema is the club's No. 3 tight end with no fantasy value. | 2 hours | |
| 91. | Broncos | Losing streak continues | (KFFL) The Associated Press reports the Denver Broncos lost their fourth straight game in Week 11. | 2 hours | |
| 92. | Ochocinco catches four balls in loss | (Rotoworld) Chad Ochocinco caught four balls for 67 yards in Week 11. Analysis: Ochocinco was covered by Nnamdi Asomugha for most of the game, seeing only five targets. He's usually in the double digits. Cincinnati's Week 12 opponent -- Cleveland -- doesn't have a corner capable of stopping The Ocho. | 2 hours | |
| 93. | Michael Adams | (RotoWire) Adams (hamstring) made a career-high eight tackles (all solo) in Sunday's win over the Rams. Analysis: His role expanded because starting cornerback Bryant McFadden went down in the second quarter with a knee injury. Adams is usually a little-used backup. McFadden's Week 12 status is unknown at this time, although a contusion doesn't sound that bad. | 2 hours | |
| 94. | Donnie Avery | (RotoWire) Avery led the Rams with 65 yards on four receptions during their loss to Arizona in Week 11. Analysis: Avery continues to get a hefty amount of targets, and while he didn't score on Sunday he was thrown to multiple times in the red zone. He remains a reserve type fantasy player at best because he's on the offensively challenged Rams, but the club seems to be slowly getting better and better every week on that side of the ball so now might be the time to snag him if he's still available on your league's waiver wire. | 2 hours | |
| 95. | Chargers | Winning streak extended | (KFFL) The Associated Press reports the San Diego Chargers won their fifth consecutive game in Week 11. | 2 hours | |
| 96. | Zach Miller has solid game in win | (Rotoworld) Zach Miller caught five balls for 65 yards and a touchdown in the Raiders' Week 11 win over Cincinnati. Analysis: Bruce Gradkowski helped him, after all. Miller paced Oakland with seven targets and scored his second touchdown of 2009. While he's still a weekly crapshoot because Oakland is so unpredictable (mostly bad) on offense, Miller can again be considered by owners desperate for a fantasy starter. | 2 hours | |
| 97. | Jones goes over 100 | (Rotoworld) Thomas Jones rushed 21 times for 103 yards in Sunday's loss to the Patriots. Analysis: Jones piled up 40 of those yards in complete garbage time, but that doesn't change the fact that he is running well. And more importantly, Shonn Greene barely sniffed the field. Jones has an excellent matchup with the injury-depleted Panthers next week and will be a RB2. | 2 hours | |
| 98. | Tyrone Carter | (RotoWire) Carter led the Steelers with eight total tackles (seven solo) against the Chiefs. Analysis: Carter did an okay job statistically in place of the injured Troy Polamalu, but the defense looks completely different when he is not on the field. The Steelers had a 17-7 lead at the half, but the Chiefs attacked the secondary in the second half. Matt Cassel passed for over 200 yards with two touchdowns in the second half en route to KC's 27-24 overtime win. | 2 hours | |
| 99. | Scheffler held to 12 yards in Week 11 | (Rotoworld) Tony Scheffler was held to one reception for 12 yards against the Chargers in Week 11. Analysis: The matchup was right against a San Diego defense that struggles to cover tight ends, but the Broncos simply didn't use many two tight-end sets. He's now been held to just one catch in three of the last four games and can't be trust in fantasy leagues. | 2 hours | |
| 100. | Neil Rackers | (RotoWire) Rackers did not attempt a field goal in Week 11; he connected on all three of his PATs. Analysis: The Cardinals' offense continues to perform very well in the red zone and that's cutting into Rackers' field-goal attempts. Arizona is averaging a solid 25.0 points per game, so if the offense starts to bog down in the red zone, Rackers could become much more active. It's worth watching starting quarterback Kurt Warner's status; he left Sunday's game due to a head injury and the Cardinals' offense probably won't be as efficient if Warner is sidelined in Week 12. | 2 hours |
