| # | Headline | Summary | Published | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1. | 49ers | Davis catches touchdown Week 11 | (KFFL) The Associated Press reports San Francisco 49ers TE Vernon Davis caught six passes for 108 yards and one touchdown in Week 11. | 24 minutes | |
| 2. | Packers | Harris carted off field Week 11 | (KFFL) The Associated Press reports Green Bay Packers CB Al Harris (knee) was carted off the field in the second half Week 11 after sustaining a potentially severe knee injury. | 28 minutes | |
| 3. | Packers | Kampman carted off field Week 11 | (KFFL) The Associated Press reports Green Bay Packers LB Aaron Kampman (knee) was carted off the field in the second half Week 11 after sustaining a potentially severe knee injury. | 29 minutes | |
| 4. | Matt Ryan throws for 268 yards, 2 TDs | (Rotoworld) Matt Ryan completed 26-of-46 passes for 268 yards and two touchdowns against the Giants in Week 11. Analysis: Ryan played scared in the first half against a swarming Giants front-seven, but he showed signs of emerging from his five-game funk in the second half. He completed 10 straight passes at one point and led the Falcons to two fourth-quarter touchdowns, including a game-tying 11-yard bullet to Tony Gonzalez with 30 seconds left. He's a borderline QB1 against the Bucs porous defense next week. | 31 minutes | |
| 5. | 49ers | Crabtree gets first career touchdown Week 11 | (KFFL) The Associated Press reports San Francisco 49ers WR Michael Crabtree caught four passes for 77 yards and his first career touchdown in Week 11. | 33 minutes | |
| 6. | 49ers | A. Smith productive Week 11 | (KFFL) The Associated Press reports San Francisco 49ers QB Alex Smith went 16-for-33 for 227 yards, three touchdowns and one interception in Week 11. | 36 minutes | |
| 7. | Domata Peko has knee injury | (Rotoworld) Bengals NT Domata Peko left Sunday's game with a right knee injury. Analysis: Peko also was dealing with a knee injury a month ago, though he didn't miss any games. The third-year nose tackle is a key to Cincinnati's run defense. | 37 minutes | |
| 8. | Packers | Grant goes over 100-yard mark Week 11 | (KFFL) The Associated Press reports Green Bay Packers RB Ryan Grant rushed for 129 yards and one touchdown on 21 carries in Week 11. | 38 minutes | |
| 9. | Boss posts 76 yards, 2 TDs in Week 11 | (Rotoworld) Kevin Boss caught five passes for a career-high 76 yards and two touchdowns against the Falcons in Week 11. Analysis: Eli Manning looked to his big tight end in the red zone over and over again, and Boss delivered with the two scores. Coming off his best three fantasy games of the season, he's beginning to earn TE2 consideration once again. | 39 minutes | |
| 10. | Packers | Rodgers plays well Week 11 | (KFFL) The Associated Press reports Green Bay Packers QB Aaron Rodgers went 32-for-45 for 344 yards and two touchdowns in Week 11. | 41 minutes | |
| 11. | Steve Smith records 79 yards in Week 11 | (Rotoworld) Steve Smith caught four passes for 79 yards against the Falcons in Week 11. Analysis: Smith was targeted eight times but took a backseat to Mario Manningham and Hakeem Nicks down the stretch. His 51-yard gain in the third quarter set up Brandon Jacobs' 2-yard score. Smith remains a solid WR2 heading into Thursday's game against the Broncos. | 42 minutes | |
| 12. | Saints | M. Bell scores twice Week 11 | (KFFL) The Associated Press reports New Orleans Saints RB Mike Bell had 13 carries for 75 yards with two touchdowns Week 11. | 44 minutes | |
| 13. | Buccaneers | Freeman throws three picks Week 11 | (KFFL) The Associated Press reports Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Josh Freeman was 17-for-33 for 126 yards with a touchdown pass and three interceptions Week 11 against the New Orleans Saints. | 44 minutes | |
| 14. | Saints | Brees throws three TD passes Week 11 | (KFFL) The Associated Press reports New Orleans Saints QB Drew Brees was 19-for-29 for 187 yards with three touchdown passes Week 11 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. | 44 minutes | |
| 15. | Vollmer leaves with head injury | (Rotoworld) Patriots rookie LT Sebastian Vollmer left Sunday's game against the Jets with a head injury, but later returned. Analysis: Vollmer was replaced by Mark LeVoir. The Patriots should be fine at the position with Matt Light almost ready to return from his knee injury. | 45 minutes | |
| 16. | Manningham explodes for 126 yards | (Rotoworld) Mario Manningham led the Giants with six receptions and 126 yards against the Falcons in Week 11. Analysis: Manningham came up big in the clutch with gains of 27 and 29 yards that led to a fourth-quarter touchdown and the game-winning field goal in overtime. It's his second straight week with six receptions, as he appears to be fully healthy after nagging mid-season back, rib, and shoulder injuries. He's beginning to earn WR3 consideration again, starting with Thursday's game against Denver. | 46 minutes | |
| 17. | Cardinals | Warner injured Week 11 | (KFFL) NFL.com reports Arizona Cardinals QB Kurt Warner (head) left the team's Week 11 game after suffering a blow to the head. His return is questionable. | 47 minutes | |
| 18. | Clinton Portis already ruled out for Wee... | (Rotoworld) The Redskins have already ruled out Clinton Portis (concussion) for Week 12, coach Jim Zorn revealed Sunday. Analysis: Offensive coordinator Sherman Smith added that the team will scour their free agent list and pick up a back to be active behind Rock Cartwright and Quinton Ganther. Ladell Betts (torn MCL) is probably done for the season. Ex-Skins Marcus Mason and Anthony Alridge are available. As is Warrick Dunn. | 47 minutes | |
| 19. | Mason could get picked up by Skins | (Rotoworld) Redskins offensive coordinator Sherman Smith says the Redskins will pick up a running back this week and mentioned Marcus Mason as a possibility. Analysis: Mason was with the team until he was cut on Oct. 20. He knows the offense and will probably be asked to step in as the No. 3 RB with Ladell Betts and Clinton Portis both out. | 51 minutes | |
| 20. | Danny Ware held to 15 yards in Week 11 | (Rotoworld) Danny Ware had two carries for just 15 yards against the Falcons in Week 11. Analysis: The new third-down back did a fantastic job in blitz pick-up, but he doesn't carry the ball enough to be a fantasy asset. | 51 minutes | |
| 21. | Bradshawn held to 34 yards in Week 11 | (Rotoworld) Ahmad Bradshaw rushed 12 times for 34 yards against the Falcons in Week 11. Analysis: Bradshaw picked up extra carries late with Brandon Jacobs sidelined by a knee injury, but he's losing playing time to Danny Ware. Bradshaw hasn't topped 50 yards since Week 5, and the foot/ankle injury appears to be killing his explosion. | 53 minutes | |
| 22. | Chiefs | Chambers has 119 yards receiving Week 11 | (KFFL) The Associated Press reports Kansas City Chiefs WR Chris Chambers caught four passes for 119 yards Week 11. | 54 minutes | |
| 23. | Washington on crutches, will have MRI | (Rotoworld) Ravens CB Fabian Washington has a sprained knee and is scheduled for an MRI on Monday. Analysis: Washington said he hopes to play again this season as he left the stadium on crutches. Expect Lardarius Webb to start in his place against the Steelers this week. Washington has been part of a struggling Ravens' secondary and the switch to Webb shouldn't hurt that much. | 54 minutes | |
| 24. | 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. | 55 minutes | |
| 25. | Ryan Grant suffered a stinger | (Rotoworld) Ryan Grant revealed that he suffered a stinger late in Sunday's win. Analysis: Grant came out of the game briefly, but says the injury is minor and "appeared fine" in the locker room afterwards. The Packers face Detroit on Thanksgiving Day, however, so Grant's practice status will be worth watching. | 57 minutes | |
| 26. | 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. | 59 minutes | |
| 27. | Browns | Losing streak continues | (KFFL) The Associated Press reports the Cleveland Browns lost their fifth consecutive game in Week 11. | 1 hour | |
| 28. | Chiefs | Win at home Week 11 | (KFFL) The Associated Press reports the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers 27-24 Week 11. The win broke a team record 10 consecutive losses at home for the Chiefs. It was their first home victory in more than a year. | 1 hour | |
| 29. | Report: Packers CB Al Harris has a torn ... | (Rotoworld) The National Football Post reports that Packers CB Al Harris is done for the season with a torn ACL. Analysis: This is a career-threatening injury for the 35-year-old. Harris had to be carted off the field Sunday and couldn't walk in the locker room. Packers OLB Aaron Kampman is believed to have an even worse knee injury. Harris will need reconstructive surgery. Tramon Williams will take over at right corner. | 1 hour | |
| 30. | Steelers | Roethlisberger throws for 398 yards, dinged Week 11 | (KFFL) The Associated Press reports Pittsburgh Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger (concussion) was 32-for-42 for 398 yards with three touchdown passes and two interceptions Week 11 against the Kansas City Chiefs. Roethlisberger was shaken up in overtime when he suffered a "concussion-oriented thing," according to head coach Mike Tomlin. Roethlisberger did set a team record with his fourth 300-yard passing game of the season. | 1 hour | |
| 31. | Browns | Massaquoi surpasses 100-yard mark Week 11 | (KFFL) The Associated Press reports Cleveland Browns WR Mohamed Massaquoi caught five passes for 115 yards and one touchdown in Week 11. | 1 hour | |
| 32. | Dallas Clark | (RotoWire) Clark had just one catch for three yards in Sunday's win at Baltimore, but it went for a touchdown. Analysis: Clark has been fairly quiet over the last couple of games, a sign that he is getting a lot of attention from opposing defenses. | 1 hour | |
| 33. | Charlie Batch | (RotoWire) Batch completed one out of two passes for 17 yards in Sunday's game against the Chiefs. Analysis: Batch came on in relief of Ben Roethlisberger in the overtime session as Big Ben was taken out due to a "concussion-oriented thing". We'll have to wait for more news from the team to see if Roethlisberger's status for Week 12 is in jeopardy, which would put Batch in at the helm against the Ravens. | 1 hour | |
| 34. | Lions | Massaquoi surpasses 100-yard mark Week 11 | (KFFL) The Associated Press reports Cleveland Browns WR Mohamed Massaquoi caught five passes for 115 yards and one touchdown in Week 11. | 1 hour | |
| 35. | Davis struggles again | (Rotoworld) Fred Davis caught two passes for 24 yards in Sunday's loss to the Cowboys. Analysis: The Redskins need Chris Cooley out there. Aside from Davis' struggles in blocking, he's not getting open. Since taking over as the starter in Week 9, Davis has eight catches in three games. He's a TE2 heading into next week's game against the Eagles. | 1 hour | |
| 36. | Donald Brown | (RotoWire) Brown had only 10 yards on four carries in Sunday's 17-15 win at Baltimore. Analysis: Brown should be receiving more work, but Indianapolis appears to be comfortable leaning on Joseph Addai, who had 19 carries for 74 yards with a touchdown on Sunday. Whether Brown is still not 100 percent from his shoulder injury or the Colts do not trust his blitz pickup, the bottom line is that he's not a viable fantasy option right now. | 1 hour | |
| 37. | Wood to have surgery on broken left leg | (Rotoworld) Bills G Eric Wood suffered a broken left leg Sunday and is scheduled to undergo immediate season-ending surgery. Analysis: Wood fractured both his tibia and fibula, and is staying overnight in Jacksonville to have the procedure. He was the Bills' first selection in this year's draft and had started all nine games this season. | 1 hour | |
| 38. | Romo has sore back | (Rotoworld) Tony Romo revealed that his back was feeling sore after Sunday's win over the Redskins. Analysis: The injury isn't major, but still a slight concern because the Cowboys are on a short week with a Thanksgiving Day game against the Raiders. Most likely, Romo will take a pain-killing injection so that he's able to start. | 1 hour | |
| 39. | Lions | C. Johnson records 161 yards Week 11 | (KFFL) The Associated Press reports Detroit Lions WR Calvin Johnson caught seven passes for 161 yards and one touchdown in Week 11. | 1 hour | |
| 40. | Thomas shows some flashes again | (Rotoworld) Devin Thomas caught three passes for 33 yards in Sunday's loss to the Cowboys. Analysis: Thomas also returned two kickoffs for 56 yards and showed his significant "after the catch" skills. He's clearly ahead of Malcolm Kelly, but isn't worth much in this offense. | 1 hour | |
| 41. | Browns | Quinn throws four TDs Week 11 | (KFFL) The Associated Press reports Cleveland Browns QB Brady Quinn went 21-for-33 for 304 yards and four touchdowns in Week 11. He had entered the game with three career touchdowns. | 1 hour | |
| 42. | Randle El grabs three balls in loss | (Rotoworld) Antwaan Randle El caught five passes for 45 yards in Sunday's loss to the Cowboys. Analysis: Randle El continues to be a reliable target for Jason Campbell, but he's not worth much in fantasy leagues. He hasn't topped 45 receiving yards since Week 1. | 1 hour | |
| 43. | Joseph Addai | (RotoWire) Addai (finger) ran 19 times for 74 yards with a touchdown in Sunday's 17-15 win at Baltimore. Analysis: Surprisingly, Addai was not involved much in the passing game, catching just one pass for seven yards on Sunday. Indianapolis has been leaning on Addai more lately, even though rookie Donald Brown has returned from his shoulder injury. Brown had only four carries for 10 yards, so even though Addai hasn't made many big plays in the running game this year, he's getting a lot of work in general and receiving most of the goal-line carries. | 1 hour | |
| 44. | Ben Roethlisberger | (RotoWire) Coach Mike Tomlin said Roethlisberger's injury is "concussion-oriented," the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports. Analysis: Roethlisberger said he was not certain if he suffered a concussion or not, but he felt okay after the game. The Steelers will hopefully have more news within the next 24 to 48 hours. | 1 hour | |
| 45. | Wallace held to 47 yards in Week 11 | (Rotoworld) Mike Wallace was held to two receptions for 47 yards and rushed once for five yards against the Chiefs in Week 11. Analysis: Wallace made a couple of nice catches in traffic, but he had the ball stripped out of his hands on a 33-yard gain in the first quarter. He was targeted just two times the rest of the way. Keep him benched against the Ravens next week. | 1 hour | |
| 46. | Lions | Losing streak snapped Week 11 | (KFFL) The Associated Press reports the Detroit Lions snapped their six-game losing streak in Week 11. | 1 hour | |
| 47. | Moss gets five catches in loss | (Rotoworld) Santana Moss caught five passes for 38 yards in Sunday's loss to the Cowboys. Analysis: It's more of the same for Moss. He runs short crossing routes that end up as small gains. Moss hasn't scored since Week 4 and must be benched against the Eagles next week. | 1 hour | |
| 48. | Seymour out for game with bad back | (Rotoworld) Raiders DE Richard Seymour is out for the rest of Sunday's game with a back injury. Analysis: The extent of the injury is unknown, but Seymour can't afford to miss much time in his contract season. The 30-year-old has four sacks on the year. | 1 hour | |
| 49. | John McCargo | (RotoWire) McCargo suffered a knee injury in Sunday's loss at Jacksonville and did not return, BuffaloBills.com reports. Analysis: Unproductive and injured is no way to go through an NFL career. The Bills are already depleted on defense, so one more injury to a reserve is pretty much like another needle in a haystack at this point. | 1 hour | |
| 50. | Cartwright goes for 140 total yards in l... | (Rotoworld) Rock Cartwright stepped in for an injured Ladell Betts and picked up 140 total yards in Sunday's loss to the Cowboys. Analysis: Clinton Portis has already been ruled out for Week 12, and Betts reportedly has a torn MCL. That will make Cartwright the Redskins' starter and he won't be threatened by Quinton Ganther or Marcus Mason. He's a solid good pass-catcher (seven grabs Sunday) and will be a hot waiver wire add this week. | 1 hour | |
| 51. | Heath Miller posts 95 yards, TD in Week ... | (Rotoworld) Heath Miller caught seven passes for 95 yards and a touchdown against the Chiefs in Week 11. Analysis: Miller had a 41-yard gain in the second quarter and later added a 10-yard score. He was responsible for one of Big Ben's picks on a ball that went through his hands and off his shoulder pads. Miller already has a career high in receptions with 54 and is on pace to best his career high in yards with 787. | 1 hour | |
| 52. | Peyton Manning | (RotoWire) Manning threw for 299 yards with one touchdown and a pair of interceptions in Sunday's 17-15 win at Baltimore. Analysis: While Manning didn't have his best game statistically, he made his fair share of big plays, including a huge third-down-and-one conversion to Reggie Wayne late in the game to ice the win. Manning has thrown for 3,171 yards through 10 games and is still on pace to challenge Dan Marino's NFL record for most passing yards in a season (5,084 set in 1984). | 1 hour | |
| 53. | Seth McKinney | (RotoWire) McKinney suffered a knee injury in Sunday's loss at Jacksonville and did not return, BuffaloBills.com reports. Analysis: The Bills, already depleted at O-Line, also lost starter Eric Wood, presumably for the season, so the hits just keep on coming as this offense shows no signs of breaking out. | 1 hour | |
| 54. | Lions | Stafford throws five touchdowns Week 11 | (KFFL) The Associated Press reports Detroit Lions QB Matthew Stafford (undisclosed) went 26-for-43 for 422 yards, five touchdowns and two interceptions in Week 11. Stafford appeared to injure his shoulder or chest before the final play of the game but was able to throw his fifth touchdown with no time remaining in the game. | 1 hour | |
| 55. | X-rays negative on Stafford's left shoul... | (Rotoworld) X-rays came back negative on Matthew Stafford's left shoulder following Sunday's 38-37 win over Cleveland. Analysis: Coach Jim Schwartz, as usual, said it's "too early to tell" if Stafford will be ready for Week 12. The Lions will play his status close to the vest, but Stafford reentered Sunday's game and finished in overtime, throwing the game-winning touchdown pass to Brandon Pettigrew. The minor injury is to his non-throwing shoulder, so Stafford isn't likely to miss next week. | 1 hour | |
| 56. | Rashard Mendenhall | (RotoWire) Mendenhall racked up 116 total yards and a touchdown in Sunday's loss to the Chiefs. Analysis: Mendenhall carried 21 times for 80 yards but seemed a bit more dangerous out of the backfield Sunday. He had just four receptions but they went for 36 yards and a touchdown (the first receiving touchdown of his career). He also saved a touchdown for the Steelers when Ben Roethlisberger was picked off in the endzone in the fourth quarter. KC's Andy Studebaker raced toward a pick-six, but was chased down by Mendenhall just a few yards shy of the Steelers' endzone. He may have been spelled a bit more by Willie Parker on Sunday, but he is still the focal point of the rush... (More) | 1 hour | |
| 57. | Campbell plays well in loss | (Rotoworld) Jason Campbell completed 24-of-37 passes for 256 yards with no touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's loss to the Cowboys. Analysis: Campbell actually played relatively well in this one, as he broke the pocket and made some plays. He showed nice touch on swing passes to Rock Cartwright and surprisingly only took one sack. Cartwright has a difficult matchup at Philadelphia next week. | 1 hour | |
| 58. | Bills' Lynch (shoulder) expects to be 'f... | (Rotoworld) Marshawn Lynch, who left in the second quarter Sunday with a shoulder injury, said after the game that he expects to be fine. Analysis: Lynch had eight carries for 18 yards, no catches and no touchdowns before departing. He'll undergo a precautionary MRI Monday, which will go a long way in determining his readiness for Week 12. | 1 hour | |
| 59. | Giants | Jacobs injured Week 11 | (KFFL) 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. | 1 hour | |
| 60. | Giants | Boss scores twice Week 11 | (KFFL) The Associated Press reports New York Giants TE Kevin Boss caught five passes for 76 yards with two touchdowns Week 11. | 1 hour | |
| 61. | Santonio Holmes totals 86 yards in Week ... | (Rotoworld) Santonio Holmes caught seven passes for 86 yards against the Chiefs in Week 11. Analysis: It's almost an identical stat line to last week's performance. Holmes now has 20 catches in his last three games after having just 21 in his first fix. He's yet to find the end zone since Week 1, so he's due for a score at Baltimore next week. | 1 hour | |
| 62. | 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 hour | |
| 63. | Falcons | Snelling scores twice Week 11 | (KFFL) The Associated Press reports Atlanta Falcons RB Jason Snelling had 25 carries for 76 yards with two rushing touchdowns Week 11. He also caught three passes for 13 receiving yards. | 1 hour | |
| 64. | Kurt Warner | (RotoWire) Warner left before halftime with an apparent head injury, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports. Analysis: His return is questionable at this time. Warner stayed in the game briefly after taking the hit that appeared to cause the injury. Matt Leinart took over at quarterback for the Cards. | 1 hour | |
| 65. | Tomlin: Big Ben's injury concussion orie... | (Rotoworld) According to CBS' Bill Cowher, Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said after Sunday's game that Ben Roethlisberger's head injury was "concussion oriented." Analysis: Big Ben was hit in the helmet by Chiefs LB Derrick Johnson's knee on an overtime scramble. Charlie Batch came on in relief and turned the ball over on downs, leading to the Chiefs' upset victory. Roethlisberger will have to pass his baseline tests this week to play at Baltimore next Sunday. | 1 hour | |
| 66. | Report: Ladell Betts has torn MCL | (Rotoworld) Ladell Betts tore his the MCL in his left knee, according to a Washington D.C. radio station. Analysis: This report isn't a sure thing yet, but it's not looking good for Clinton Portis' backup. Betts was injured when Cowboys linebacker Bradie James landed awkwardly on the runner's back leg. Betts was helped to the sideline before being carted off the field in a huge aircast. Look for the Redskins to sign Marcus Mason, while Rock Cartwright will immedialtey assume a starting role. Betts is scheduled for an MRI on Monday. | 1 hour | |
| 67. | 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 hour | |
| 68. | Bennett has nice game in win | (Rotoworld) Martellus Bennett caught three passes for 43 yards in Sunday's win over the Redskins. Analysis: Bennett's three grabs matched his season-high. At one point he went up for an overthrown ball and made a nice catch, but took a big shot in the back. He looked to be in pain but later returned to the game. He's still waiver wire fodder in re-draft leagues. | 1 hour | |
| 69. | Packers DE Kampman, CB Harris seriously ... | (Rotoworld) Packers coach Mike McCarthy confirmed in his post-game press conference that OLB Aaron Kampman and CB Al Harris suffered serious leg injuries in Sunday's win over San Francisco. Analysis: It's worth noting that 49ers playcaller Jimmy Raye immediately attacked replacement Tramon Williams after Harris went down in the fourth quarter. Both players are believed to have injured their knees. Harris couldn't even walk after the game, but beat writer Greg Bedard says Kampman's injury is more severe. Both longtime Packers have likely been lost for the season. | 1 hour | |
| 70. | Brent Grimes | (RotoWire) Grimes had five tackles and one interception as the Falcons lost to the Giants in overtime on Sunday. Analysis: Since filling in for Brian Williams (torn ACL) who was placed on the injured reserve on Oct. 19, Grimes has really scuffled as the starting cornerback. Grimes lost the starting job last season, too, and with the Falcons losing four of their last five games while giving up plenty of yards through the air, he's not doing a whole lot to keep his job this year either. The Falcons entered the 2009 season with a suspect defensive secondary, and so far they've been just that. | 1 hour | |
| 71. | Crayton catches game-winner | (Rotoworld) Patrick Crayton caught one pass for 10 yards and the game-winning touchdown in Sunday's win over the Redskins. Analysis: Crayton's touchdown came when Tony Romo bought all kinds of time with his legs in the red zone. He's still the No. 4 option at best in this passing game and is probably best left on the waiver wire. | 1 hour | |
| 72. | Nicks sent for X-rays after Sunday's gam... | (Rotoworld) Hakeem Nicks went for X-rays on an undisclosed injury after Sunday's game. Analysis: Reporters asked Nicks about the nature of the injury, but the rookie wouldn't divulge any info. He finished with five catches for 65 yards against the Falcons. Nicks was targeted twice in overtime, so the injury wasn't serious enough to sideline him during the game. | 1 hour | |
| 73. | Chris Simms | (RotoWire) Kyle Orton replaced Simms as the Broncos' quarterback with 4:10 remaining in the second quarter of Sunday's game against the Chargers. Analysis: We'll see if Orton can make it through the rest of the game on his balky ankle, but Simms completed 2-of-4 passes for 10 yards and was sacked twice before his departure. | 1 hour | |
| 74. | Jason Hill has one catch | (Rotoworld) Jason Hill caught just one ball for eight yards in Week 11. Analysis: Not surprisingly, Hill's two-touchdown Week 9 effort has proven to be a fluke. He plays enough snaps in the 49ers' spread looks to have some decent games, but will be very inconsistent. Hill is only worth owning in deep leagues. | 1 hour | |
| 75. | Redskins | Suisham misses two FGs Week 11 | (KFFL) The Associated Press reports Washington Redskins PK Shaun Suisham successfully converted just two of his four field goal attempts Week 11. Suisham was good from 45 and 31 yards, but he missed a 39-yard attempt before halftime and a 50-yard attempt that would've given the team a 9-0 lead in the fourth quarter. Suisham was 13-for-13 this year before the two misses. | 1 hour | |
| 76. | Leinart replaces Warner in the second qu... | (Rotoworld) Kurt Warner went to the locker room early before halftime of Sunday's game, and was replaced by Matt Leinart. Analysis: The Cardinals say Warner's injury is to his "head," but he appeared to ding his shoulder while being driven into the turf on a late second-quarter play. Warner walked off with a disgruntled look on his face, but appeared healthy. He may have been concussed or suffered a stinger. Warner's return is questionable. Leinart entered with :47 left in the half. | 1 hour | |
| 77. | Kyle Orton | (RotoWire) Orton (ankle) replaced Chris Simms as the Broncos quarterback with 4:10 remaining in the second quarter of Sunday's game against the Chargers. Analysis: Orton's ankle may not be in perfect shape, but evidently it's good enough for the Broncos to roll him out in relief, with the Chargers having assumed a 13-0 lead. | 1 hour | |
| 78. | Cowboys | Romo struggles Week 11 | (KFFL) The Associated Press reports Dallas Cowboys QB Tony Romo (back) was 15-for-27 for 158 yards with a touchdown pass and an interception Week 11 against the Washington Redskins. He was kicked in the back in the first quarter while tackling Redskins CB DeAngelo Hall during a fumble recovery. He was able to remain in the game. | 1 hour | |
| 79. | Mike Peterson | (RotoWire) Peterson had nine tackles and two assists in the Falcons' overtime loss to the Giants on Sunday. Analysis: The Falcons are very strong at linebacker, but the rest of the defense put up a very lousy effort to stop Eli Manning and the Giants' attack. | 1 hour | |
| 80. | Austin held in check again | (Rotoworld) Miles Austin caught four passes for 47 yards in Sunday's win over the Redskins. Analysis: This is Austin's third straight poor game since he cooled off with that one-catch game in Week 9. This wasn't a case of double teams as much as the Cowboys looking to run the ball more. Austin had no catches in the first half and then got it going once the Cowboys went to their shotgun spread. He's a WR3 against the Raiders Thursday. | 1 hour | |
| 81. | Morgan catches one ball for five yards | (Rotoworld) Josh Morgan caught just one ball for five yards in Week 11. Analysis: His biggest contribution was a 76-yard kickoff return in the first half. Morgan doesn't get enough balls thrown his way to have significant fantasy value. He's barely worth owning in 10-team leagues at this point. | 1 hour | |
| 82. | Colts | Manning passes for nearly 300 yards Week 11 | (KFFL) The Associated Press reports Indianapolis Colts QB Peyton Manning went 22-for-31 for 299 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions in Week 11. | 1 hour | |
| 83. | Brandon Jacobs fine after knee scare Sun... | (Rotoworld) Brandon Jacobs said after Sunday's win that his knee injury is not an issue, and he could have gone back in the game if necessary. Analysis: The Giants originally announced that Jacobs would return late in the game, but his helmet was off and he never came back in. At this point, there's no reason to believe he won't start this week's game at Denver. | 1 hour | |
| 84. | Curtis Lofton | (RotoWire) Lofton made 11 tackles during Sunday's loss to the Giants. Analysis: Lofton has 101 tackles on the season, which bodes well for his fantasy numbers, but the Falcons defense was bad on multiple fronts on Sunday. They just couldn't stop the Eli Manning passing attack, and have really struggled on third-down situations. Nevertheless, Lofton is having a great individual year. | 1 hour | |
| 85. | Vernon Davis has monster game | (Rotoworld) Vernon Davis caught six balls for 108 yards and a touchdown in the 49ers' Week 12 loss to Green Bay. Analysis: Davis, who leads all NFL tight ends with eight touchdown receptions, now has 100-yard games in two of his last three. Alex Smith loves this guy. Davis easily paced the Niners in targets (12; next closest had six) and went over the top of Clay Matthews for his 24-yard touchdown in the third quarter. V.D. plays in the slot when the 49ers use their spread offense. This is a recipe for continued elite production from a tight end. | 1 hour | |
| 86. | Ravens | Cundiff ties franchise record | (KFFL) The Associated Press reports Baltimore Ravens PK Billy Cundiff made five of his six field goal attempts in Week 11. The five field goals tied a franchise record for field goals in a game. | 1 hour | |
| 87. | Eric Wood | (RotoWire) Wood has a fractured leg and will stay in Jacksonville to have surgery, BuffaloBills.com reports. Analysis: That's a horrible way for the first-rounder to likely end his rookie season, and the depleted Buffalo O-Line suffers yet another setback. They're almost certain to be bringing in new bodies for the line this week. | 1 hour | |
| 88. | Williams held without a catch in win | (Rotoworld) Roy E. Williams was held without a catch in Sunday's win over the Redskins. Analysis: This was an abysmal performance by the entire Cowboys' offense. Williams had a chance for a big catch over the middle in the first half but got alligator arms and dropped it. Coming off two straight five-catch performances, this is an obvious setback. He'll be WR3 against the Raiders on Thursday. | 1 hour | |
| 89. | Jason Elam | (RotoWire) Elam made 1-of-2 field goals and four extra points on Sunday against the Giants. Analysis: The struggles continue for Elam. Elam is just 10-of-15 on field goals this season, and has just two kicks of 40 yards or more. | 1 hour | |
| 90. | Colts | Winning streak extended | (KFFL) The Associated Press reports the Indianapolis Colts won their 19th consecutive regular season game in Week 11, which is the second longest in NFL history. | 1 hour | |
| 91. | Driver catches five balls in Week 11 | (Rotoworld) Donald Driver caught five balls for 40 yards in Week 11. Analysis: Jermichael Finley led Green Bay in targets and Greg Jennings had a 121-yard game while Driver moved into the "No. 4" offensive option role, also behind Ryan Grant. Driver has been the No. 1-2 guy for most of this season. He figures to rebound with a big game next week against the Lions. | 1 hour | |
| 92. | Witten has his usual mediocre game | (Rotoworld) Jason Witten caught five passes for 43 yards in Sunday's win over the Redskins. Analysis: Games like this have become all too commonplace for Witten. His only catches come when he gets off the line and settles between the hashes for a seven-yard gain. He hasn't topped 77 yards in any games this season. He's still a low-end TE1 against the Raiders on Thanksgiving, but it's hard to expect much. | 1 hour | |
| 93. | Ryan Grant gets 23 touches in win | (Rotoworld) Ryan Grant carried 21 times for 129 yards and a touchdown, and caught two passes for 16 yards, in the Packers' Week 11 win. Analysis: Grant saved his best game of the year for the team that is allowing the fewest yards per carry in the league. The Packers used their dangerous air attack to set up the run, and Grant capitalized with a 7.0 first-half YPC. He closed the game with 11 second-half carries. Grant, typically a strong finisher, has a much more favorable matchup against Detroit in Week 12. | 1 hour | |
| 94. | Roddy White | (RotoWire) White had four catches for 45 yards as the Falcons fell to the Giants in overtime 34-31. Analysis: No scores on Sunday, but White is among the best fantasy receivers out there. Expect a better showing next week against the lowly Buccaneers. | 1 hour | |
| 95. | Choice a non-factor in win | (Rotoworld) Tashard Choice rushed just one time for one yard in Sunday's win over the Redskins. Analysis: The owner and the head coach said they wanted to see more of Felix Jones all week, so Choice had no shot at a role. Consider Choice nothing more than a handcuff in deep leagues. | 1 hour | |
| 96. | Stafford is youngest QB to throw 5 touch... | (Rotoworld) Matthew Stafford completed 26-of-43 passes for 422 yards, five touchdowns and two interceptions in Week 11 against the Browns. Analysis: Stafford had 421 yards and four scores with eight seconds remaining and THEN things got crazy. Down six, he scrambled for an eternity and launched a hail mary into the end zone. The pass was intercepted and Stafford was driven into the turf, leaving the field with his left arm dangling. However, a pass interference call gave Detroit the ball at the one-yard line. Daunte Culpepper initially came in for the final play, but after a timeout Stafford was back on the field, clearly ... (More) | 1 hour | |
| 97. | Michael Jenkins | (RotoWire) Jenkins caught six passes for 76 yards in the Falcons' losing effort to the Gaints on Sunday. Analysis: This may have been Jenkins' best game so far this season, but he's still an unreliable fantasy target. Start him cautiously from here on out. | 1 hour | |
| 98. | Jaguars | Garrard leads second straight comeback win | (KFFL) The Associated Press reports Jacksonville Jaguars QB David Garrard went 21-for-30 for 215 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Week 11. He threw a game-winning touchdown with 56 seconds left to pickup his second straight come-from-behind win. | 1 hour | |
| 99. | Brian Dawkins sidelined with neck injury | (Rotoworld) Brian Dawkins was sidelined in the second quarter of Sunday's game with a neck injury. Analysis: Trainers are working on Dawkins neck, trying to get him ready to go back in the game. Rookie Darcel McBath will continue to fill in if Dawkins is unable to return. | 1 hour | |
| 100. | Jennings goes for 121 yards, touchdown | (Rotoworld) Greg Jennings caught five balls for 121 yards and a touchdown in the Packers' Week 11 win over San Francisco. Analysis: How about his first 100-yard game since Week 4. The Packers' improved protection with Mark Tauscher at right tackle and Chad Clifton on the blind side allowed them to take more vertical shots than usual. Jennings also showed terrific after-catch running skills on his 64-yard touchdown, which he caught at the intermediate level. He's a high-end WR2 play against Detroit in Week 12. | 1 hour |
