The Erwin Invitational IV News Articles |
| # | Headline | Summary | Published | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1. | 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). | 1 hour | |
| 2. | 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. | 1 hour | |
| 3. | Warner leaves with head injury | (FFChamps) Arizona Cardinals' quarterback Kurt Warner left today's game against the St. Louis Rams after taking a blow to the head in the second quarter. Before exiting, Warner completed 15-of-19 passes, for 203 yards and two scores. He did not return in the second half, and Matt Leinart finished 10-of-14 for 74 yards in mop-up duty in a 21-13 Cardinals victory. Analysis: The extent of Warner's injury is unknown at this point, but at the ripe ol' age of 38, Kurt's fantasy owners have to be holding their breath a little bit today. If you are a Warner ... (More) | 1 hour | |
| 4. | Boldin has huge day at St. Louis | (Rotoworld) Anquan Boldin caught eight balls for 103 yards and a touchdown in the Cardinals' Week 11 win over St. Louis. Analysis: Boldin, healthier than every, now has back-to-back 100+ yard efforts. He was also highly efficient in this one, catching all but one of the balls thrown his way. Consider Boldin a borderline WR1 for Week 12 at Tennessee. | 1 hour | |
| 5. | Anquan Boldin | (RotoWire) Boldin made eight receptions for 103 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's win over the Rams. Analysis: After sitting out in Week 9 to overcome a nagging ankle injury, Boldin has 16 catches for 208 yards in his last two games. A healthy Boldin is a candidate for a big game every week. | 1 hour | |
| 6. | Bears inactives for Week 11 | (FFChamps) The Chicago Bears have announced the following players as inactive for today's game against the Philadelphia Eagles: LB Pisa Tinosamoa, WR Juaquin Iglesias, DT Jarron Gilbert, DT Matt Toeaina, TE Desmond Clark, CB D.J. Moore, FS Kevin Payne, and G Lance Louis. Analysis: With Clark inactive, Greg Olsen should get all of the tight end looks from Jay Cutler. In the last two games, Olsen is averaging six catches and 73 yards receiving. | 1 hour | |
| 7. | Ray Rice | (RotoWire) Rice ran the ball 20 times for 71 yards and caught seven passes for 64 yards in Sunday's 17-15 loss to Indianapolis. Analysis: Willis McGahee saw some work for the second straight week, rushing the ball six times for 25 yards, although he was stuffed on consecutive plays at the goal line in the fourth quarter. Even though Rice did not score on Sunday, he still put up 135 yards from scrimmage and caught seven passes. | 1 hour | |
| 8. | LT2 leads dominant rushing attack in vic... | (Rotoworld) LaDainian Tomlinson rushed 20 times for 73 yards and one touchdown to lead the Chargers past the Broncos in Week 11, 33-3. Analysis: The Chargers rushed 203 yards, and Tomlinson lost second-half playing time with the game out of hand. He was favoring his right leg at one point in the third quarter, but the injury didn't seem serious. Tomlinson has yet to top 100 yards on the season, but he's coming off two of his three best games of the season the past two weeks. He's worthy of RB2 consideration next week against the Chiefs. | 2 hours | |
| 9. | Roddy White held to 45 yards in Week 11 | (Rotoworld) Roddy White was held to four catches for 45 yards against the Giants in Week 11. Analysis: White was targeted a team-high 12 times, but the shutdown version of Corey Webster reappeared and shadowed him around the field. White is on pace for 82 receptions, 1,141 yards, and 10 TDs. Start him with confidence against the Bucs next week. | 2 hours | |
| 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. | 2 hours | |
| 11. | Reggie Wayne | (RotoWire) Wayne grabbed seven passes for 89 yards in Sunday's 17-15 victory at Baltimore. Analysis: Funny how an 89-yard performance can feel like a letdown, but that's how good of a season Wayne is having. | 2 hours | |
| 12. | 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. | 3 hours | |
| 13. | 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) | 3 hours | |
| 14. | 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. | 4 hours | |
| 15. | Mendenhall totals 116 yards, TD in Week ... | (Rotoworld) Rashard Mendenhall rushed 21 times for 80 yards and added four receptions for 36 yards and a touchdown against the Chiefs in Week 11. Analysis: The Chiefs struggle to contain running backs in the passing game, and Mendenhall exploited an opening for an 8-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter. Willie Parker saw seven touches this week, but he was merely used to give Mendenhall a breather. Mendenhall remains a RB2 for next week's game at Baltimore. | 4 hours | |
| 16. | Calvin Johnson limps his way to 161 yard... | (Rotoworld) Calvin Johnson caught seven passes for 161 yards and one touchdown in Week 11 against the Browns. Analysis: Johnson narrowly missed a touchdown catch in the second quarter and came down hard on the play, limping off the field. He was in and out of the game quite a bit after that while clearly in pain, yet still managed to get completely behind the defense for a 75-yard touchdown and topped 100 yards for just the second time this season. | 4 hours | |
| 17. | Aaron Rodgers throws for 344 yds, two sc... | (Rotoworld) Aaron Rodgers completed 32 of a season-high 45 passes for 344 yards and two touchdowns in the Packers' 30-24 win over San Francisco in Week 11. Analysis: Rodgers shredded San Francisco for for his seventh multi-touchdown game in the last eight weeks. Most promisingly, the Packers protected Rodgers well (he took only two sacks), allowing him to take more vertical shots. On his second-quarter touchdown to Greg Jennings, Rodgers operated from the shotgun to hit Jennings over the middle and watch him do the rest of the work down the seams. Rodgers has another highly favorable matchup at Detroit in Week 12. | 4 hours | |
| 18. | Rice piles up yardage again | (Rotoworld) Ray Rice rushed 20 times for 71 yards and caught seven passes for 61 yards in Sunday's loss to the Colts. Analysis: It was disappointing to see Willis McGahee get two crucial goal-line carries while Rice watched from the sideline. But other than that, Rice did his thing. He hasn't been held under 100 total yards since Week 3 and must be in lineups even in a brutal matchup against the Steelers next week. | 4 hours | |
| 19. | Wayne does his thing in win | (Rotoworld) Reggie Wayne caught seven passes for 89 yards in Sunday's win over the Ravens. Analysis: Wayne didn't get behind the Ravens secondary at all, but he was very effective on the sidelines. His routes are so precise that they are almost impossible to defend. He'll keep it going against the Texans next week as an obvious top-five option. | 4 hours | |
| 20. | Chiefs inactives for Week 11 | (FFChamps) The Kansas City Chiefs have announced the following players as inactive for today's game against the Oakland Raiders: QB Matt Guitierrez, CB Donald Washington, RB Dantrell Savage, OLB Mike Vrabel, LB Justin Rogers, OG Andy Alleman, TE Jake O'Connell, and LB David Herron. Analysis: The Chiefs will be without Mike Vrabel on Sunday which could mean an even bigger day for Rashard Mendenhall and the Steelers run game. Starting guard Andy Alleman is inactive and his loss will be felt ... (More) | 8 hours | |
| 21. | Seahawks inactives for Week 11 | (FFChamps) The Seattle Seahawks have declared the following players as inactive for today's game against the Minnesota Vikings: RB Julius Jones, CB Josh Wilson, OL Mike Gibson, OL Mansfield Wrotto, TE Cameron Morrah, DT Craig Terrill, DE Derek Walker and QB Mike Teel. Analysis: With Jones still recovering from his bruised lung, Justin Forsett will get the start in Minnesota. Not exactly a favorable matchup for the young man, but he should get plenty of touches today, and represents a flex ... (More) | 9 hours | |
| 22. | Roddy White active Sunday against the Gi... | (Rotoworld) Roddy White is active Sunday against the Giants, as expected. Analysis: White was listed as questionable on the injury report coming in, but hasn't missed a game in his five-year career. The Giants have struggled badly to cover No. 1 receivers of late, so White is a high-quality WR1 play on Sunday. | 9 hours | |
| 23. | Falcons | White to play against New York | (KFFL) ESPN reports Atlanta Falcons WR Roddy White (knee) will play during Week 11 versus the New York Giants. | 9 hours | |
| 24. | Adrian Wilson | (RotoWire) Wilson (groin, probable) will probably be at the line of scrimmage on nearly every play on Sunday against the Rams, the East Valley Tribune reports. Analysis: The Cardinals are much more concerned with St. Louis' running attack than their passing game. As a result, Wilson could be on track for a good tackling day and he might get the sack he needs in order to become the 10th player in NFL history to accumulate 20 career sacks and 20 career interceptions. | 11 hours | |
| 25. | Falcons' White will play on Sunday @ NYG | (Rotoworld) Roddy White (questionable, knee) will play on Sunday when the Falcons take on the Giants in the Meadowlands. Analysis: White has been listed as questionable for the past three weeks and hasn't missed a game. He'll start against a struggling Giants' defense coming off their bye week while getting CB Aaron Ross back. | 11 hours | |
| 26. | Kyle Orton not expected to go Sunday | (FFToolbox) According to the Denver Post, barring an overnight medical miracle that heals Denver Broncos quarterback Kyle Orton's bum ankle, Chris Simms will be the team's starting QB Sunday against the San Diego Chargers with sole possession of the AFC West lead at stake. While Simms has taken the first-team snaps all week, Orton has been unable to practice due to a sprained ankle, which he suffered last week against Washington. Orton has tried hard to get his ankle to heal. But as of Saturday afternoon, it had not recovered enough to play. Orton d... (More) | 23 hours | |
| 27. | Fox silent about Peppers' hand injury | (Rotoworld) Coach John Fox isn't letting anyone know about the nature, or severity, of Julius Peppers' hand injury. Analysis: "I could say, but I probably wouldn't," said Fox. Peppers injured his hand two weeks ago against New Orleans and has predominantly played on only passing downs since. Last week Fox would only go as far as saying that Peppers' hand is "messed up," while LB Jon Beason told reporters it was broken. Peppers has seven sacks on the season. | 1 day | |
| 28. | With Wilson out, Jennings will start for... | (Rotoworld) With the Seahawks expected to be without CB Josh Wilson (concussion) on Sunday, coach Jim Mora says that Kelly Jennings will start in his place. Analysis: Wilson has been starting at right corner opposite Marcus Trufant, where Jennings will now fill in. This is a very favorable matchup for Brett Favre and the Vikings' passing game. | 1 day | |
| 29. | White questionable again | (FFChamps) Atlanta Falcons' wide receiver Roddy White is listed as questionable for the third consecutive week. The Falcons travel to New York to face the Giants in Week 11. Analysis: No worries here, White has been questionable the last three weeks, and looked fine each week. Expect more of the same in New York from Matt Ryan's favorite target on the outside. Assuming the status quo holds, and White is out there on Sunday, we have him as a top-15 play at wide receiver this weekend against a suspect Giants' secondary. | 1 day | |
| 30. | Breaston limited Friday, should play Sunday | (FFChamps) Arizona Cardinals' wide receiver Steve Breaston (knee) was limited in Friday's practice, but is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the St. Louis Rams. Analysis: Breaston should play, and the Cardinals will throw. The Rams' secondary gets torched on a regular basis, and this weekend should be no different. Breaston is a top-15 play at wideout this Sunday, and owners should insert him into their Week 11 starting lineups in all formats. | 1 day | |
| 31. | Seahawks | Jennings could start Week 11 | (KFFL) CBSSports.com reports Seattle Seahawks head coach Jim Mora said CB Josh Wilson (concussion) will likely miss the team's Week 11 game with a concussion. If Wilson is not cleared to play in the game, Mora said CB Kelly Jennings would start in Wilson's place. | 1 day | |
| 32. | Garcon questionable, but practices fully | (FFChamps) Indianapolis Colts' wide receiver Pierre Garcon is listed as questionable to face the Baltimore Ravens in Week 11 because of his sore ankle, but practiced without restrictions again on Friday. Analysis: All indications are that Garcon is pretty much a lock to play this weekend against a once-feared Ravens' defense that will have a hard time stopping Peyton Manning and a presently-feared Colts' offense. Garcon practiced fully the last couple of days, and appears to be working through the ankle injury that kept him out of practice earlier in... (More) | 1 day | |
| 33. | Stafford participates fully | (FFChamps) Detriot Lions' quarterback Matthew Stafford participated fully in the team's Friday practice, and will start Sunday at home against the Browns. Analysis: This is the first time in over a month that Stafford hasn't been limited in practice. The rookie has been inconsistent in his inaugural campaign, but he has a howitzer attached to his right shoulder, and already gives the Lions their best chance to win week-to-week. His presence optimizes Calvin Johnson's fantasy value, as well, as Stafford recognizes Megatron is exponentially better than any other option he has currently running routes in Motown. | 2 days | |
| 34. | Falcons' Michael Turner doubtful; Roddy White, Jerious Norwood questionable | (FFToolbox) Three of the Atlanta Falcons' more critical offensive skill players are at least questionable to play Sunday against the New York Giants. Running back Michael Turner is the most unlikely of the three to participate. He has not practiced since suffering a high right ankle sprain last Sunday and is listed as doubtful. Jason Snelling is expected to start in his place. Fellow backup running back Jerious Norwood was reportedly a "long shot" to play earlier in the week, but he pract... (More) | 2 days | |
| 35. | Josh Wilson | (RotoWire) Wilson (doubtful, concussion) is unlikely to play Sunday against Minnesota, the Seahawks' official site reports. Analysis: Coach Jim Mora said there was a "slight chance" Wilson would play Sunday, but it's not likely. Kelly Jennings would start in his place. | 2 days | |
| 36. | Seahawks | Wilson doubtful for Week 11 | (KFFL) Seattle Seahawks CB Josh Wilson (concussion) did not participate in practice Friday, Nov. 20. He is listed as doubtful for Week 11. | 2 days | |
| 37. | Calvin Johnson | (RotoWire) Johnson was limited in Friday's practice by a hand injury, but is listed as probable for Sunday's game against Cleveland, the Lions' official site reports. Analysis: We're not sure how he suffered the injury -- he may have just bumped it in Thursday's practice -- but Johnson's status for Sunday doesn't appear to be in jeopardy. | 2 days | |
| 38. | Seahawks to be minus Wilson | (Rotoworld) The Seahawks are expected to be without CB Josh Wilson (concussion) in Week 11 against the Vikings. Analysis: It looks like Marcus Trufant will play through his concussion, but Wilson's will keep him out. Wilson had been starting at right corner, where Ken Lucas will now fill in. This is a favorable matchup for the Minnesota passing game. | 2 days | |
| 39. | Roddy White | (RotoWire) White (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants, the New York Daily News' Ralph Vacchiano reports. Analysis: The questionable tag has become a weekly trend for White, but he's played the last two weeks and we aren't overly concerned about his Week 11 status. We don't want you to get burned, however, so check back Sunday morning to verify White's availability. | 2 days | |
| 40. | Cardinals | Wilson probable for Week 11 | (KFFL) Darren Urban, of AZCardinals.com, reports Arizona Cardinals SS Adrian Wilson (groin) fully participated in practice Friday, Nov. 20. He is listed as probable for Week 11 and is expected to play. | 2 days | |
| 41. | Adrian Wilson | (RotoWire) Wilson (groin) is probable for Sunday's game. Analysis: He was a full participant in practice on Thursday and Friday and he should be in the Cardinals' starting lineup on Sunday. With one more sack, Wilson will become the 10th player in NFL history to have 20 career interceptions and 20 career sacks. | 2 days | |
| 42. | Roddy White questionable again | (Rotoworld) Roddy White (knee) is listed as questionable for Week 11, but is fully expected to play against the Giants. Analysis: White's been "questionable" for three weeks running, but hasn't missed a game. He'll start against a Giants club that struggles to stop No. 1 wideouts. | 2 days | |
| 43. | Falcons | White questionable for Week 11 | (KFFL) D. Orlando Ledbetter, of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, reports Atlanta Falcons WR Roddy White (knee) was limited during practice Friday, Nov. 20. He is listed as questionable for Week 11 but will be able to play. | 2 days | |
| 44. | Julius Peppers | (RotoWire) Peppers (hand) had a forced fumble, but picked up just one tackle on Thursday night. Analysis: The Panthers are pretending as though he's not playing with a broken hand (he wasn't even on the injury report for Week 11), but it's clearly having a negative impact on the quality of his play. IDP owners should carefully examine the waiver wire for potential replacements. | 2 days | |
| 45. | Seahawks | Wilson, Terrill miss practice Thursday | (KFFL) Seattle Seahawks CB Josh Wilson (concussion) and DT Craig Terrill (shoulder) did not participate in practice Thursday, Nov. 19. They are considered doubtful for Week 11. | 3 days | |
| 46. | Roddy White returns to limited practice | (Rotoworld) Roddy White (knee) returned to a limited practice Thursday. Analysis: White has missed practice time the past two weeks, but the knee soreness hasn't affected him in game action. We have him ranked as the No. 6 fantasy WR this week in a matchup with the Giants. | 3 days | |
| 47. | Trufant returns to practice | (FFChamps) The Seattle Times reports that Seahawks cornerback Marcus Trufant returned to full participation in practice on Thursday after missing practice on Wednesday with a concussion. Teammate and fellow cornerback, Josh Wilson did not practice (concussion). Analysis: That's at least one of Seahawks starting cornerbacks back in practice. With Trufant back in full practice with the team, he appears to have recovered from his concussion. The defense will need him going up against Adrian Peterson, Brett Favre, Sidney Rice, and Percy Harvin. | 3 days | |
| 48. | Falcons | White limited Thursday | (KFFL) D. Orlando Ledbetter, of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, reports Atlanta Falcons WR Roddy White (knee) was limited in practice Thursday, Nov. 19, but is likely to play in Week 11. | 3 days | |
| 49. | Cardinals | A. Wilson practices in full Thursday | (KFFL) Darren Urban, of AZCardinals.com, reports Arizona Cardinals SS Adrian Wilson (groin) practiced in full Thursday, Nov. 19, and will play in Week 11. | 3 days | |
| 50. | Adrian Wilson | (RotoWire) Wilson (groin) was a full participant in Thursday's practice and he should play on Sunday, the Cardinals' official site reports. Analysis: He should be fine to fill his usual starting role. | 3 days | |
| 51. | Peppers could play on running downs | (Rotoworld) Panthers coach John Fox said it is a "possibility" that Julius Peppers (hand) will be able to play on more running downs this week. Analysis: With Charles Johnson (pectoral) doubtful, the Panthers need as much as Peppers can give them. However, Peppers' inability to line up with his broken right hand in the dirt prevents him from playing his usual LE position in Carolina's first- and second-down defense. He will be available to play RE in passing situations, but the Panthers would have to get really creative (3-4 looks?) to keep Peppers on the field on early downs. Bench him in IDP leagues. | 3 days | |
| 52. | Seahawks cornerbacks have concussions | (FFChamps) Seahawks starting cornerbacks Marcus Trufant and Josh Wilson were held out of practice Wednesday after being diagnosed with concussions. Coach Jim Mora did not comment on either cornerback's status for Sunday's game against the Vikings. "We'll have a couple guys that might be limited (in practice), but nothing serious," Mora told the Seattle Post-Intelligence. Analysis: There's been a lot of concussions going around the league lately and as seen with Brian Westbrook last week, the important thing to be concerned with is coming ba... (More) | 3 days | |
| 53. | Seahawks | Three miss practice Wednesday | (KFFL) The Sports Network reports Seattle Seahawks CB Marcus Trufant (concussion), CB Josh Wilson (concussion) and DT Craig Terrill (shoulder) missed the team's practice Wednesday, Nov. 18. | 3 days | |
| 54. | Falcons | R. White misses practice Wednesday | (KFFL) Atlanta Falcons WR Roddy White (knee) missed the team's practice Wednesday, Nov. 18. | 4 days | |
| 55. | Dolphins | Wilson practices in full Wednesday | (KFFL) Updating a previous item, Omar Kelly, of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, reports Miami Dolphins SS Gibril Wilson (hamstring) practiced in full Wednesday, Nov. 18. He is listed as probable for Week 11 and will play. | 4 days | |
| 56. | Adrian Wilson | (RotoWire) Wilson (groin) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. Analysis: There's still plenty of time before Sunday's game and it's a good sign that Wilson was able to do some work on Wednesday. We're optimistic that he will be able to play his normal role on Sunday against the Rams. | 4 days | |
| 57. | Roddy White | (RotoWire) White (knee) did not practice Wednesday, the Falcons' official site reports. Analysis: White has either been held out or limited the past two Wednesdays, but managed to play both times. Look for a similar situation to unfold this week. | 4 days | |
| 58. | Cardinals | Seven limited Wednesday | (KFFL) Darren Urban, of AZCardinals.com, reports Arizona Cardinals LB Gerald Hayes (back), LB Karlos Dansby (shoulder), FS Adrian Wilson (groin), OT Mike Gandy (pelvis), WR Sean Morey (concussion), DL Kenny Iwebema (knee) and TE Ben Patrick (knee) were limited in practice Wednesday, Nov. 18. | 4 days | |
| 59. | Roddy White misses practice | (Rotoworld) Roddy White (knee) was held out of Falcons practice Wednesday. Analysis: White has been routinely been limited or held out of practice lately, but the alleged knee injury didn't affect his Week 10 numbers. He had 98 yards on seven catches against a Carolina pass defense that ranks No. 4 in the NFL. | 4 days | |
| 60. | Dolphins | G. Wilson probable for Week 11 | (KFFL) Omar Kelly, of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, reports Miami Dolphins SS Gibril Wilson (hamstring) is listed as probable for the team's Week 11 game Thursday, Nov. 19. | 4 days | |
| 61. | Dolphins | Pennington injury update | (KFFL) Armando Salguero, of the Miami Herald, reports Miami Dolphins QB Chad Pennington (shoulder) said Tuesday, Nov. 17, he has completed the first phase of his rehabilitation from season-ending shoulder surgery and now must map out a recovery program for the next six weeks. At this stage, Pennington said, he's not certain if he will play again. He might not make that decision until March. However, regardless of what that decision is, the chances of Pennington playing for the Dolphins again are quite slim. The team has a starting quarterback in QB Chad Henne. They have committed time and resources on making backup QB Pat White a s... (More) | 4 days | |
| 62. | Dwayne Bowe suspended four games | (FFToolbox) Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Dwayne Bowe leads the team with 33 catches, including six catches for 91 yards last weekend in a win at Oakland. Unfortunately for him, the Chiefs and his fantasy owners, he won't have a chance to match that performance until week 15. Bowe has been suspended for four games for violating the NFL's policy against performance-enhancing substances. The team announced the suspension Tuesday and said it would have no further comment. Prior to this season, he spent most of training camp in first year head coach Todd Haley's doghouse, even being demoted to third team in wha... (More) | 4 days | |
| 63. | Pennington unlikely to rejoin Fins | (Rotoworld) Dolphins beat writer Armando Salguero calls the odds of impending free agent Chad Pennington (shoulder surgeries) re-signing with Miami "very slim." Analysis: Salguero says the Fins have already found their starter (Chad Henne) and backups of the future (Pat White, Tyler Thigpen). Pennington is considered unlikely to settle for a clear-cut backup role. The Browns, Redskins, Panthers, Rams, Bills, Titans, 49ers, and perhaps Denver and Oakland will be looking for QB help this offseason, so there is no shortage of potential destinations. | 4 days | |
| 64. | Dolphins | Pennington's rehab under way | (KFFL) The Associated Press reports Miami Dolphins QB Chad Pennington (shoulder, nose) has started his rehab following shoulder surgery. He will consult with Dr. James Andrews Wednesday, Nov. 18, where a recovery program will be mapped out for the next six weeks. Pennington said he may wait until March to decide whether he will return for the 2010 season. | 5 days | |
| 65. | Pennington starts comeback from surgery | (Rotoworld) Though Chad Pennington has completed the first phase of his rehab from shoulder surgery, he won't make a final decision on playing next season until March. Analysis: Dr. James Andrews will come up with a six-week program for the next phase of Pennington's rehab. If he doesn't experience a setback from his third surgery to the right shoulder, he'll be left with another decision of whether to return to Miami as a backup or seek competition for a starting job elsewhere. | 5 days | |
| 66. | Bowe used diuretics | (TheHuddle) ESPN.com reports Kansas City Chiefs WR Dwayne Bowe's four-game suspension has to do with his use of diuretics, and was trying to lose weight back in training camp, according to a source. Bowe will not be appealing the suspension. Analysis: Well now we know why he was suspended, although it obviously doesn't change anything. Since this one basically came out of the blue, it makes us wonder what other surprises may be lurking that will affect Fantasy rosters as leagues near their playoffs. The earliest Bowe could come back is Week 15. Normally we would recommend that you immediately jettison Bowe fro... (More) | 5 days | |
| 67. | Chiefs | Bowe used diuretics | (KFFL) ESPN.com reports Kansas City Chiefs WR Dwayne Bowe's four-game suspension has to do with his use of diuretics, and was trying to lose weight back in training camp, according to a source. Bowe will not be appealing the suspension. | 5 days | |
| 68. | Dolphins | Four limited Tuesday | (KFFL) Miami Dolphins OG Justin Smiley (shoulder), DL Paul Soliai (ankle), LB Erik Walden (hamstring) and SS Gibril Wilson (hamstring) were limited in practice Tuesday, Nov. 17. | 5 days | |
| 69. | Bowe suspended four games | (FFChamps) Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Dwayne Bowe has been suspended four games for violating the NFL's policy on performance-enhancing drugs. The announcement was made today via email from the league and the suspension will begin immediately. Analysis: You can stick a fork in the fantasy values of Bowe and Matt Cassel. Bowe will not be cleared to play again until Week 15, by which time most teams will be out of the fantasy playoffs. Give a slight bump up in the values of Chris Chambers<... (More) | 5 days | |
| 70. | Bowe suspended four games | (TheHuddle) The Kansas City Chiefs announced Tuesday, Nov. 17, that the National Football League has suspended WR Dwayne Bowe for four games for 'violating the NFL policy on performance enhancing substances.' Bowe's suspension will begin immediately. Analysis: There's a surprise. Bowe hasn't exactly been a Fantasy stud, with only 466 yards and four TDs on the season, but he was at least a serviceable option most weeks. Chris Chambers now becomes the No. 1 receiver most likely, with Lance Long serving as the No. 2. | 5 days | |
| 71. | Chiefs | Bowe suspended four games | (KFFL) The Kansas City Chiefs announced Tuesday, Nov. 17, that the National Football League has suspended WR Dwayne Bowe for four games for "violating the NFL policy on performance-enhancing substances." Bowe's suspension will begin immediately. | 5 days | |
| 72. | Dwayne Bowe | (RotoWire) Bowe has been suspended four games for violating the league's performance enhancing drugs policy, Kent Babb of the KC Star reports. Analysis: This is a very tough break for Bowe owners, who will now be without the Chiefs' top wideout until Week 15. Bowe has averaged 8.8 fantasy points per game this season, ranking him 22nd among all NFL receivers. Look for Chris Chambers and Lance Long to see extra targets as the Chiefs' offense looks to get by without Bowe. | 5 days | |
| 73. | Dwayne Bowe suspended 4 games for PEDs | (Rotoworld) NFL suspended Chiefs WR Dwayne Bowe four games for violating the league's policy on performance enhancing substances. Analysis: The suspension begins immediately and will keep Bowe out until Week 15. Bowe reported to spring workouts 30 pounds overweight, and ESPN's Adam Schefter "gathers" that Bowe took a diuretic to shed the extra pounds. He spent much of the early season in coach Todd Haley's doghouse, and the suspension may alter the team's long-term plans for him. With Bowe returning in time for many fantasy playoff games, he's worth keeping on rosters. | 5 days | |
| 74. | Chiefs | Bowe suspended four games | (KFFL) The Kansas City Chiefs announced Tuesday, Nov. 17, that the National Football League has suspended WR Dwayne Bowe for four games for "violating the NFL policy on performance enhancing substances." Bowe's suspension will begin immediately. | 5 days | |
| 75. | Julius Peppers | (RotoWire) Peppers (hand) was not among the players listed as limited or non-participants in Tuesday's practice, Darin Gantt of the Rock Hill Herald reports. Analysis: Assuming that he's active on Thursday night, the only concern we have is regarding his ability to use his broken hand to adequately move around opposing offensive linemen. | 5 days | |
| 76. | Gibril Wilson | (RotoWire) Wilson (hamstring) practiced on Tuesday, according to the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. Analysis: Wilson was able to work with the secondary. He has yet to impress the Dolphins with his play so far this season and if he were to miss the game on Thursday it may not be the worst thing to happen to the Dolphins. | 5 days | |
| 77. | Ravens | Rice scores Week 10 | (KFFL) The Associated Press reports Baltimore Ravens RB Ray Rice had 20 carries for 89 yards with a touchdown Week 10. He also caught three passes for 15 receiving yards. | 5 days | |
| 78. | Rice scores only TD in game on MNF | (Rotoworld) Ray Rice rushed for 89 yards and a touchdown on 20 carries in Monday night's 16-0 win over the Browns. Analysis: Rice also added three catches for 15 yards and scored his 13-yard TD against a Browns defense that only had ten players on the field. Many of his carries came late in the game when the Ravens were running out the clock and trying to get out of town. Rice and the Ravens face the Colts in Week 11 before having Pittsburgh at home in Week 12. | 5 days | |
| 79. | Mason Crosby | (RotoWire) Crosby was 1-for-2 on field goals and 2-for-2 on extra points in Sunday's win over the Cowboys. Analysis: Crosby pushed a 52-yarder to the left but rebounded by drilling a 48-yard attempt before halftime. He's still one of the top fantasy kickers available. | 5 days | |
| 80. | Aaron Rodgers | (RotoWire) Rodgers completed 25 of 36 passes for 189 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's win over the Cowboys. He also ran for 15 yards and a touchdown. Analysis: The Cowboys generated a lot of pressure as expected, but the Packers largely negated the rush with a heavy dose of three-step drops and short throws. It helped Rodgers stay upright, but it didn't do much for his fantasy numbers in a game that was 3-0 entering the fourth quarter. It was just the second time all year Rodgers was held under 245 yards passing. | 5 days | |
| 81. | Julius Peppers | (RotoWire) Peppers (hand) was limited in practice Monday, NFL.com reports. Analysis: Peppers played through the injury on Sunday, so we'd expect him to suit up Thursday against the Dolphins, but we'll monitor his practice workload leading up to that game. | 6 days | |
| 82. | Gibril Wilson | (RotoWire) Wilson (hamstring) was a limited participant in practice on Monday, according to the Dolphins web site. Analysis: Wilson has pretty much been a bust in his first season in Miami, so his loss would not be the worst thing to happen to the Dolphins. | 6 days | |
| 83. | DeSean Jackson | (RotoWire) Jackson had eight receptions for 91 yards in the Eagles' loss Sunday. Analysis: Jackson briefly left the game with an ankle injury but quickly returned so it shouldn't be a problem moving forward. He gets the Bears in Chicago in Week 11. | 6 days | |
| 84. | Panthers | Peppers limited Monday | (KFFL) Carolina Panthers DE Julius Peppers (hand) was limited during practice Monday, Nov. 16. | 6 days | |
| 85. | Dolphins | Four limited Monday | (KFFL) Miami Dolphins OG Justin Smiley (shoulder), DL Paul Soliai (ankle), LB Erik Walden (hamstring) and SS Gibril Wilson (hamstring) were limited in practice Monday, Nov. 16. | 6 days | |
| 86. | David Harris | (RotoWire) Harris had nine tackles in Sunday's loss to the Jaguars. Analysis: Harris remains a quality IDP option, having racked up 74 tackles, 3.5 sacks, a forced fumble and an interception through nine games. | 6 days | |

| 88. | Eagles | Jackson dinged in Week 10 | (KFFL) Bob Brookover and Jeff McLane, of The Philadelphia Inquirer, report Philadelphia Eagles WR DeSean Jackson (ankle) had suffered an ankle injury in Week 10, but head coach Andy Reid did not make mention of the injury following the game. Jackson did play the entire game. | 6 days | |
| 89. | Julius Peppers | (RotoWire) Peppers played Sunday's game against the Falcons with a broken right hand, the Gaston Gazette reports. Analysis: He did not record a tackle on Sunday, but had a pair of quarterback hurries in the fourth quarter. It sounds like Peppers will continue to attempt to play through the injury, but this is apparently what head coach John Fox was referring to last week when he said that Peppers missed Wednesday's practice with a "messed up hand" suffered in their Week 9 loss to the Saints. | 6 days | |
| 90. | Chargers | Tomlinson has most success running to his right | (KFFL) ESPN.com reports San Diego Chargers RB LaDainian Tomlinson gained 63 of his 96 rushing yards in Week 10 rushing to his right. Tomlinson's longest run of the game was a 20-yard touchdown to the right of the field. On the season, Tomlinson has gained 151 yards on 28 carries running to his right. | 6 days | |
| 91. | Peppers severly limited against Saints | (Rotoworld) Julius Peppers (broken hand) didn't start Sunday's win over the Falcons and was limited to playing on passing downs. Analysis: Peppers played with a large cast on his hand, which he hurt against the Saints last week. It looks like Peppers is going to play through this injury, but his numbers are going to take a hit. He hasn't picked up a sack in the last two games after recording six in his previous four. | 6 days | |
| 92. | Colts | Wayne catches two TD passes Week 10 | (KFFL) The Associated Press reports Indianapolis Colts WR Reggie Wayne caught 10 passes for 126 yards with two touchdown receptions Week 10. | 6 days | |

Analysis: Wayne made a couple of fantastic catches in the first half, including a 20-yard touchdown grab late in the second quarter. He stayed hot well into the night and snagged the game-winning touchdown with 13 seconds left in the fourth quarter. He's a top fantasy receiver no matter the opponent. | 6 days | |
| 94. | Boldin catches eight passes Week 10 | (TheHuddle) The Associated Press reports Arizona Cardinals WR Anquan Boldin caught eight passes for 105 receiving yards Week 10. Analysis: Boldin appears to be returning to form after being limited with an injury the last few weeks. He appeared to run better and was targeted several times by Kurt Warner as the Cardinals won their game against Seattle. Boldin is clearly a No. 1 wideout for fantasy teams when healthy. | 6 days | |
| 95. | Jon Beason: Peppers has broken hand | (Rotoworld) Panthers LB Jon Beason revealed after Sunday's win that Julius Peppers is playing through a broken hand. Analysis: The Panthers don't give detailed injury updates, but Beason let it slip. "Anytime you get a broken bone it's hard," Beason said. "He was still getting pressure on the quarterback with basically one arm, it was unbelievable." Peppers had two QB pressures vs. Atlanta. He has seven sacks in 2009. | 7 days | |
| 96. | Panthers | Peppers played Week 10 with broken hand | (KFFL) Steve Reed, of CarolinaGrowl.com, reports Carolina Panthers LB Jon Beason let it slip after the team's Week 10 game that DE Julius Peppers (hand) played with a broken right hand. Peppers suffered the injury Week 9, but head coach John Fox has continued to classify it as a "messed up hand." Beason said Sunday, Nov. 15, "Anytime you get a broken bone it's hard. He was still getting pressure on the quarterback with basically one arm, it was unbelievable." | 7 days | |
| 97. | Cardinals | Boldin catches eight passes Week 10 | (KFFL) The Associated Press reports Arizona Cardinals WR Anquan Boldin caught eight passes for 105 receiving yards Week 10. | 7 days | |

| 99. | McNabb comes up big for fantasy owners | (FFChamps) Philadelphia Eagles' quarterback Donovan McNabb completed 35-of-55 passes, for 450 yards, and two touchdowns in a losing effort today against the San Diego Chargers. Analysis: Huge day for Donovan personally, and for McNabb owners in the fantasy world, but not enough for Philly to get a much-needed win. We already had McNabb as a top 10 quarterback option the rest of the way, and with Westbrook suffering yet another concussion today, coach Andy Reid may rely on McNabb's right arm even more than originally thought going foward. If his offensive line holds up, McNabb could be in for a few more big game... (More) | 7 days | |
| 100. | Anquan Boldin | (RotoWire) Boldin (right ankle) led the Cardinals with eight receptions and a season-high 105 receiving yards in Week 10. Analysis: Injuries plagued Boldin throughout the first half of the season. After sitting out in Week 9 in an effort to get healthy, Boldin looked strong in Week 10. As long as he can stay healthy, Boldin looks primed for a great finish. | 7 days |
