RB Chris Wells- Arizona

Wells is expected to play, but that’s far from certain. He’s also still Tim Hightower’s backup, so I’d say stay away from him.

WR Steve Breaston- Arizona

Breaston is questionable after missing significant practice time this week. I wouldn’t even recommend starting him if he were healthy. Breaston is nothing more than Derek Anderson’s #2 option and that’s just not consistently fantasy start worthy.

RB Ray Rice- Baltimore

Rice suffered an ankle injury in last week’s game, during the 4^th quarter, but practiced normally all week. Have him in your lineup.

WR Derrick Mason- Baltimore

Mason missed some practice this week, but he’s listed as probable and everyone around the team expected him to play. I wouldn’t start him though. I don’t think he’s start worthy on a weekly basis anymore, even against Cleveland.

WR Steve Smith- Carolina

Smith was limited by a thigh injury this week in practice, but expects to play. I could definitely see him being limited during the game by this injury, but he’s still startable.

WR Terrell Owens- Cincinnati

TO’s back problem isn’t going to cause him to miss this week’s game.

RB Jerome Harrison- Cleveland

Harrison didn’t practice Friday, but has not been ruled out for this week’s game against the Ravens. However, it is the Ravens defense he’d have to face if he did play and game time decisions like Harrison are tricky, so I’d go with another option.

TE Jason Witten- Dallas

Witten has a head injury, but will play this week.

RB Knowshon Moreno- Denver

Out. Pick up Laurence Maroney.

WR Nate Burelson- Detroit

Out.

WR Andre Johnson- Houston

Gary Kubiak assured he would play against Dallas this week, despite the fact that he’s listed as questionable.

TE Owen Daniels- Houston

Daniels is likely to play, but like the first two weeks of the season, he won’t play a ton, as he works his way back from an ACL tear. He’s not worth a start unless you see him play major snaps.

WR Pierre Garcon- Indianapolis

Out. Start Austin Collie.

RB Joseph Addai- Indianapolis

He’s listed as questionable, but after practicing Friday and saying he’s good to go for Sunday I’d be surprised if he didn’t play. Check to make sure tomorrow morning though.

RB Maurice Jones Drew- Jacksonville

He’ll play. No guarantee he’ll play like a fantasy first round pick with all of the leg issues he’s having.

 

QB Brett Favre- Minnesota

Favre’s gonna play hurt this week with an ankle and a right elbow injury. No surprise there. I’d still say start him against the Lions.

WR Percy Harvin- Minnesota

Practiced all week so he’s good to go.

WR Bernard Berrian- Minnesota

Missed practice time but he’s listed as probable and says he’ll play. Not sure if he’s fantasy start worthy though, even against Detroit.

RB Fred Taylor- New England

A toe injury kept him out of practice early in the week, but he’ll play. No guarantee about his effectiveness with that toe injury, or his carry total as BB loves mixing it up with his backs, so he’s a risk to start this week.

TE Kevin Boss- NY Giants

After missing last week with a concussion, he practiced all week this week. He’ll play.

WR Mario Manningham- NY Giants

Missed Wednesday’s practice as he was sick, but practiced Thursday and Friday and is good to go for Sunday.

RB Michael Bush- Oakland

Upgraded from questionable to probable mid week this week, a good sign that he’s going to get his first game action of the season this week after missing weeks 1 and 2 with a broken thumb. No guarantee how many carries he’ll get with Darren McFadden running like this. Don’t start him until you see him get significant carries.

TE Brent Celek- Philadelphia

Practiced all week with a chest injury and will play Sunday.

WR Hines Ward- Pittsburgh

Added mid week as questionable with a quad injury and then upgraded to probable mid week so I expect him to play. No guarantee on his production with Charlie Batch at the helm.

WR Malcom Floyd- San Diego

Missed one day of practice this week with leg soreness, but he’s good to go for Sunday.

RB Ryan Matthews- San Diego

Listed as doubtful so he’s unlikely to play. Pick up Mike Tolbert in his absence. 

RB Steven Jackson- St. Louis

He plays hurt every week. He’ll do it again this week with a knee injury. He should still run fine. He always does.

TE Kellen Winslow- Tampa Bay

Missed some practice time this week with a knee injury, but that’s nothing new. He’ll play through it again and should play fine again. He’s still a legit TE1.

RB Cadillac Williams- Tampa Bay

After being limited on Wednesday with a hammy problem, he practiced fine the rest of the week. He’ll play.

RB Clinton Portis- Washington

Downgraded to questionable from probable with a wrist injury late this week, but I still expect him to start as word is he practiced fine.
