This first injury report is only for Falcons/Ravens. The rest of the league’s injury report will be posted Saturday as usual. 

WR Roddy White- Atlanta

White may be the league’s best receiver this season. He’s listed as questionable, but expected to play, so I’d feel safe with him in my lineup.

Sunday

RB Chris Wells- Arizona

He’ll play, but not start. He’s not worth it in fantasy. 

WR Lee Evans- Buffalo

Missed a practice earlier this week with a bum ankle, but it’s listed as probable and expected to play. I wouldn’t count on him though with only 29 catches for 373 yards and 4 scores this season.

RB DeAngelo Williams- Carolina

Out.

RB Jonathan Stewart- Carolina

Out. Mike Goodson will start vs. a weak Tampa Bay run defense so he could have some value.

QB Carson Palmer- Cincinnati

Will play hurt again. I actually like him this week. Indy has an explosive offense and Palmer is at his best in garbage time when the other team already has a big lead.

WR Chad Ochocinco- Cincinnati

He’ll play with an ankle problem, but he really hasn’t been involved in the offense of late, so there are better options.

QB Matt Stafford- Detroit

Out.

QB Shaun Hill- Detroit

With Stafford out, Hill will get the start off of a broken arm. Buffalo’s defense is bad, so he could be a decent bye week filler. In 4 games which he started and finished, he has 1252 (82 rushing) yards, 8 scores, and 6 picks.

QB Matt Schaub- Houston

He’ll play through rib problems. Various injuries have led to some struggles by Schaub this season, but Jacksonville’s secondary is terrible so he could be in for a huge game.

WR Andre Johnson- Houston

Will start through an ankle injury. He’s been playing hurt in each of his last 4 games and has 24 catches for 380 yards and 2 scores in that time. Against Jacksonville, he’s definitely worth a start.

TE Owen Daniels- Houston

Out.

WR Blair White- Indianapolis

Out.

WR Austin Collie- Indianapolis

Out. 

TE Jacob Tamme- Indianapolis

Missed a practice this week with a back problem and had the questionable tag slapped on him, but it looks like he will start vs. Cincinnati and after what he did in his first two career starts, a combined 17 catches for 172 yards and 2 scores, he has to be in your lineup.

RB Joseph Addai- Indianapolis

Out.

RB Mike Hart- Indianapolis

Not officially ruled out, but after not practice all week, it’s very unlikely he plays. Donald Brown will get the start, but Brown is really struggling this season and only managed 50 points against Philly’s run D last week in a start.

WR Percy Harvin- Minnesota

Questionable suffering through bad migraines on top of his bum ankle, but he’s a tough kid. Since injuring his ankle 2 weeks ago, he has 15 catches for 230 yards. He’s a stud you have to have in your lineup.

 

QB Brett Favre- Minnesota

What do you think?

WR Sidney Rice- Minnesota

Not expected to make his season debut this week.

WR Bernard Berrian- Minnesota

Was limited as recently as Friday, but improved Saturday and should start opposite Harvin this week. After his first good performance of the season last week, 9 catches for 89 yards, he could be a solid WR3, but expected inconsistency.

QB Tom Brady- New England

He’ll make the start and he has to be in your lineup, even coming off of a bad game, starting against an elite defense, with a bum foot.

WR Steve Smith- NY Giants

Out.

RB Brandon Jacobs- NY Giants

Missed some practice with an illness, but will play. Use him as you normally would.

RB Shonn Greene- NY Jets

Missed Friday for personal reasons and not injury reasons and will start Sunday.

TE Heath Miller- Pittsburgh

Came back strong Friday after missed practice all week leading up to Friday, so use him as you normally would. However, he hasn’t been terribly productive this season.

RB Marshawn Lynch- Seattle

Thigh and hammy issues limited him in practice this week, but he still should start. He’s been terrible though since coming over from Buffalo with 61 carries for 188 yards and a score. I don’t know why they don’t start Justin Forsett over him.

WR Mike Williams- Seattle

His finger problem is minor and won’t be an issue.

QB Matt Hasselbeck- Seattle

Cleared to play. His left tackle Russell Okung, however, is out, which could be bad news for him. 

RB Steven Jackson- St. Louis

Limited in practice, but what else is new. He’ll start.

TE Kellen Winslow- Tampa Bay

Will play through knee problems again this week.

QB Vince Young- Tennessee

He’ll be in uniform, but either for injury or talent reasons, Kerry Collins will get the start.

QB Donovan McNabb- Washington

He’s questionable, but I doubt he misses this game.

RB Clinton Portis- Washington

RB Ryan Torain- Washington

Both are game time decisions and might just cancel each other out if both play, and since they don’t play until Monday, I’d say stay away from both.
