TE Jermichael Finley- Green Bay
Limited in practice this week, but upgraded from questionable to probable late this week, always a good sign. He should be a safe start.
WR Lance Moore- New Orleans
The oft injured Moore has been ruled out for the season opener with a groin injury.
WR Roddy White- Atlanta
Don’t worry about his probable listing with a thigh injury. He’ll play and be 100%.
TE Ben Watson- Cleveland
Watson missed practice Wednesday and was limited Thursday, but he was upgraded from questionable to probable after a full practice Friday. He’ll play.
RB Arian Foster- Houston
Foster is listed as a game time decision for Sunday’s game, but everyone in the know seems to think he won’t play. This is a 1 o’clock start, however, so you can check his status before the game and swap him out of need be.
QB Peyton Manning- Indianapolis
He won’t play.
WR Austin Collie- Indianapolis
Collie has been upgraded to probable, but he might not be 100% and I don’t know how safe a play he is without Peyton Manning. I have no idea how Kerry Collins will use his weapons so I can’t guarantee Collie will have a good game. You might want to go with a safer option.
QB Matt Cassel- Kansas City
Cassel is expected to play through cracked ribs. However, if he’s your QB1, you’re fucked anyway.
RB Daniel Thomas- Miami
Thomas looks like a game time decision for the New England game. This game is Monday Night so you’re really chancing it leaving him in the lineup. He’s not even the starter so I don’t know why you’d do that.
WR Plaxico Burress- NY Jets
Burress has always had ankle problems, but he’ll play this week. I just don’t think he’s that good anymore.
WR Sidney Rice- Seattle
Rice is listed as doubtful with a shoulder injury. That’s pretty much a guarantee he won’t play. No one listed as doubtful played last year.
