Week 5 Injury Report

WR Steve Breaston- Arizona

Out

RB Ray Rice- Baltimore

Practiced fine all week. After playing last week, I doubt he misses this week. All systems go with Rice against Denver.

RB DeAngelo Williams- Carolina

Missed one practice with an illness this week, but he came back fine from it and he’s going to be out there Sunday.

WR Steve Smith- Carolina

Out.

QB Jay Cutler- Chicago

Out. 

RB Peyton Hillis- Cleveland

He sat out Friday with a thigh injury for precautionary reasons, but the team expects him to play so you should too. He might be limited though with that injury.

WR Josh Cribbs- Cleveland

Expected to play, but he’s still too inconsistent to be in your lineup regularly.

TE Jason Witten- Dallas

Practiced all week with a knee injury. Seems like the bye came at a perfect time for him as he will play this week.

RB Knowshon Moreno- Denver

Out.

QB Matt Stafford- Detroit

Out. 

RB Jahvid Best- Detroit

Practiced through the same toe injury which he played through last week. Look like all systems a go with Best vs. St. Louis.

TE Tony Scheffler- Detroit

Missed serious practice this week with a concussion and I expect the Lions to sit him for precautionary reasons this week. They do have him listed as questionable however, so check back here tomorrow or follow me on twitter, just to make sure.

WR Andre Johnson- Houston

Listed as a game time decision, all though the consensus is that he’ll play. Check back tomorrow though or follow me on twitter.

WR Jacoby Jones- Houston

Also a game time decision. If he plays and Johnson doesn’t, he could have a big game so monitor both of those situations and check back here tomorrow or follow me on twitter.

TE Owen Daniels- Houston

He looks like he’s gonna play, but between this hamstring problem and his knee problem, he’s nowhere near 100%. He has 7 catches in 4 games this year. Sit him.

 

WR Anthony Gonzalez- Indianapolis

Out.

WR Pierre Garcon- Indianapolis

Practiced in full two days straight, but is still listed as questionable. I’d expect him to play and he could be worth a start depending on the status of Indy’s other receivers.

WR Reggie Wayne- Indianapolis

Missed a day of practice this week, but it doesn’t appear to be too bad. He’s listed as probable and should be back out there. A lot is made of Peyton Manning’s durability. Wayne hasn’t missed a game since his rookie year back in 2000.

WR Austin Collie- Indianapolis

Missed two days of practice this week before practicing Friday. He’s listed as a game time decision so check back tomorrow or follow me on twitter. If he doesn’t play, Garcon is fantasy startable.

RB Donald Brown- Indianapolis

Not officially out, but I see no way he plays.

RB Joseph Addai- Indianpolis

He’s hurt, but he hasn’t missed practice. He’ll start.

RB Maurice Jones Drew- Jacksonville

MJD sprained an ankle last week and missed some practice time, but he’s expected to be back out there for their game. They face Buffalo who can’t stop anyone on the ground. MJD could have a huge week for the 2nd straight week after gutting the Colts for 105.

QB Brett Favre- Minnesota

Has bad elbow inflamation, but of course he’ll be out there. I don’t know if I’d start him though. He’s playing bad and that elbow isn’t helping him out at all.

TE Visanthe Shiancoe- Minnesota

Upgraded from questionable to probable late in the week, definitely a good sign. Even though he didn’t get through a full day of practice all week. He doesn’t play until Monday, which is risky, but I expect him to be out. I’d take that risk, unless there’s a good waiver pickup available to plug in instead.

RB Fred Taylor- New England

He’s likely out after missing practice all week.

RB Pierre Thomas- New Orleans

Out.

QB Drew Brees- New Orleans

WR Marques Colston- New Orleans

Both of them practiced all week and should play.

RB Ahmad Bradshaw- NY Giants

He’s got a sore ankle, but he has assured us many times that he’ll play and carry a full workload this week. He played through this kind of stuff last year. He’s a tough kid.

RB Darren McFadden- Oakland

Out.

WR Chaz Schilens- Oakland

Out.

TE Zach Miller- Oakland

Miller has a sore hip, but is expected to play. No worries here. As I projected, he’s a fantasy beast.

QB Michael Vick- Philadelphia

Out.

TE Brent Celek- Philadelphia

He has practiced all week through a wrist injury for the 2nd straight week. He’s fine. Have him in your lineup this week as his BFF Kevin Kolb is starting at quarterback. Kolb loves the checkdown to Celek and LeSean McCoy. 

RB LeSean McCoy- Philadelphia

He did practice in full friday and is expected to start versus San Francisco. He might not be 100%, but he’s an awesome fantasy player, especially with Kevin Checkdown Kolb at quarterback.

RB Steven Jackson- St. Louis

He’s got a groin injury, but I legitimately believe he’d play even if he got shot before the game. He’s that badass.

TE Kellen Winslow- Tampa Bay

He’s got a knee injury, but that’s nothing new. I think he was born with a knee injury. He’s going to play anyway as he always does.

WR Justin Gage- Tennessee

Out.

QB Donovan McNabb- Washington

Practiced all week with a thigh injury. If he’s your starter, roll with him.

RB Clinton Portis- Washington

Out.
