PLAYER UPDATES Provided By SportsBuff.com
 Player: Steve Breaston WR, Arizona Cardinals 11/06/09, Time: 9:17 pm
 News: Breaston (knee) is listed as probable this week against Chicago.
 Analysis:

Nothing new to report here. Breaston has dealt with this injury alls eason and continues to play, so, with Anquan Boldin hobbled, he should be in all lineups. (SportsBuff.com)

 Player: Michael Clayton WR, Tampa Bay Buccaneers 11/06/09, Time: 9:13 pm
 News: Clayton (wrist) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Packers.
 Analysis:

He was able to catch passes during Friday's practice. However, don't expect him to do the same in a live game and continue to avoid him as you have hopefully been doing all year. (Sportsbuff.com)

 Player: Antonio Bryant WR, Tampa Bay Buccaneers 11/06/09, Time: 9:11 pm
 News: Bryant (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Green Bay.
 Analysis:

He could very easily miss this game and, with Josh Freeman starting, he's not a desireable play anyway. Sit him and find another option. (SportsBuff.com)

 Player: Matt Hasselbeck QB, Seattle Seahawks 11/06/09, Time: 9:08 pm
 News: Hasselbeck (ribs) is listed as probable for Sunday's game against Detroit.
 Analysis:

Assuming the injury doesn't bother him at any point, he's a terrific play against the toothless Lions. If you have him, start him with confidence. (SportsBuff.com)

 Player: Antonio Gates TE, San Diego Chargers 11/06/09, Time: 9:04 pm
 News: Gates (foot) is listed as probable for this week's matchup against the Giants.
 Analysis:

There was some doubt about his condition earlier in the week, but the full practice he put in on Friday dispelled any doubts. You never sit him, but he's a particularly good play against New York as they don't have anyone in their defensive backfield capable of containing him at full strength. (SportsBuff.com)

 Player: Kevin Boss TE, N.Y. Giants Giants 11/06/09, Time: 9:01 pm
 News: Boss (ankle) is listed as probable for this week's game against San Diego.
 Analysis:

It was assumed that Boss would pick a bigger portion of the slack when the Giants parted ways with Plaxico Burress, but that hasn't been the case. He's not even a good play against San Diego, a team that often presents favorable matchups for opposing tight ends. (Sportsbuff.com)

 Player: Ben Watson TE, New England Patriots 11/06/09, Time: 8:57 pm
 News: Watson (back) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Miami.
 Analysis:

Too bad for him as the entire New England passing game ought to be able to tee off against a Dolphins defensive squad that is fielding three rookies. He's too inconsistent to depend upon. (SportsBuff.com)

 Player: Rashean Mathis DB, Jacksonville Jaguars 11/06/09, Time: 8:54 pm
 News: Mathis (finger) is listed as probable this week against Kansas City.
 Analysis:

He's the Jaguars' best guy in their defensive backfield, but, frankly, that's not saying much this year. You shouldn't be looking for the Jacksonville team defense for much production. (SportsBuff.com)

 Player: Donald Brown RB, Indianapolis Colts 11/06/09, Time: 8:47 pm
 News: After practicing Wednesday and Thursday, Brown (shoulder) missed practice on Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game.
 Analysis:

You'll have to watch the pre-game injury reports very carefully to see if he plays. It's hard to imagine him getting a full workload,anyway, so it might be best to sit him this week. (SportsBuff.com)

 Player: Aaron Rodgers QB, Green Bay Packers 11/06/09, Time: 8:45 pm
 News: Rodgers (foot) has been listed as probable for this week's game against Tampa Bay.
 Analysis:

The foot shouldn't get in the way of his fantasy production. What may, though, is him being pulled early if the Packers get out to a strong lead. (SportsBuff.com)

 Player: Lance Moore WR, New Orleans Saints 11/06/09, Time: 4:18 pm
 Status:
Out
 News: According to the New Orleans Times Picayune, Moore (ankle) has been formally ruled out of Sunday's game against Carolina.
 Analysis:

Moore could be out indefinitely and his fantasy value is almost zero. Robert Meacham and Devery Henderson get a slight boost in fantasy value in Moore's absence. (SportsBuff.com)

 Player: John Kasay K, Carolina Panthers 11/06/09, Time: 4:01 pm
 Status:
Questionable
 News: According to the Associated Press, Kasay (groin) is questionable for Sunday's game against New Orleans.
 Analysis:

Kasay has missed two straight days of practice with this injury. Rhys Lloyd, who handles kickoffs for the Panthers, would take his place if he can't go. (SportsBuff.com)

 Player: Eli Manning QB, N.Y. Giants Giants 11/06/09, Time: 3:56 pm
 Status:
Probable
 News: According to Pat Hanlon of Giants.com, Manning (right foot) is listed as probable for Sunday's game against San Diego.
 Analysis:

Manning has said that this injury is not a factor in his poor play of late, but that is hard to believe. Hopefully he gets things turned around soon, one way or another. (SportsBuff.com)

 Player: Anquan Boldin WR, Arizona Cardinals 11/06/09, Time: 3:49 pm
 Status:
Questionable
 News: In an update of a previous item, according to the Arizona Republic, Boldin (right ankle) took part in the portion of Friday's practice that was open to the media.
 Analysis:

Boldin has a chance to play Sunday against Chicago, but seems likely to be a game-time decision. He won't be 100% even if he does play, which limits his fantasy upside. (SportsBuff.com)

 Player: Roddy White WR, Atlanta Falcons 11/06/09, Time: 3:46 pm
 Status:
Questionable
 News: According to the Atlanta Journal Constitution, White (knee) practiced on a limited basis on Friday and is expected to start Sunday against Washington.
 Analysis:

Since the Falcons are on a short week, they attempted to scale back White' practice reps some this week. He is an every week fantasy starter at this point. (SportsBuff.com)

 Player: Brian Westbrook RB, Philadelphia Eagles 11/06/09, Time: 2:27 pm
 Status:
Questionable
 News: Westbrook (concussion) is listed as questinable for Sunday night's game against Dallas.
 Analysis:

Westbrook is fully expected to play this week, so if you own it appears to be safe to start him. (SportsBuff.com)

 Player: Aaron Rouse QB, N.Y. Giants Giants 11/06/09, Time: 2:23 pm
 News: According to the Newark Star Ledger, Rouse worked as the first-team FS in Friday's practice.
 Analysis:

It seems likely that Rouse will replace C.C. Brown on Sunday against San Diego, but he is really not much of an upgrade. (SportsBuff.com)

 Player: Jonathan Stewart RB, Carolina Panthers 11/06/09, Time: 2:21 pm
 Status:
Questionable
 News: Stewart (left Achilles) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against New Orleans.
 Analysis:

Stewart is fully expected to play this week. He could be worth some fantasy consideration, as he appears to have emerged as the Panthers' preferred goal line back. (SportsBuff.com)

 Player: Ahmad Bradshaw RB, N.Y. Giants Giants 11/06/09, Time: 2:19 pm
 Status:
Probable
 News: Updating a previous item, according to the Newark Star Ledger, Bradshaw (right foot/ankle) practiced on Friday.
 Analysis:

Bradshaw missed Wednesday and Thursday's practice sessions, but look to be ready to for Sunday's game against a struggling San Diego run defense. (SportsBuff.com)

 Player: Donald Driver WR, Green Bay Packers 11/06/09, Time: 2:16 pm
 Status:
Probable
 News: According to Greg Bedard of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, via Twitter, Driver (neck stinger) returned to practice on Friday.
 Analysis:

Driver missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday, but appears to have been cleared by team doctors. A favorable matchup is on tap against a poor Tampa Bay secondary. (SportsBuff.com)

 Player: Devin Hester WR, Chicago Bears 11/06/09, Time: 2:13 pm
 Status:
Probable
 News: According to Brad Biggs of the Chicago Sun Times, via Twitter, Hester (ankle) was back on the practice field on Friday
 Analysis:

Hester was held out of practice on Wednesday and Thursday, but his status for Sunday against Arizona never seemed to be in doubt. (SportsBuff.com)

 Player: Calvin Johnson WR, Detroit Lions 11/06/09, Time: 1:50 pm
 Status:
Probable
 News: Updating a previous item, according to the Detroit Free Press, Johnson (right knee) practiced on Friday.
 Analysis:

Johnson is expected to start on Sunday against Seattle, and is a must-start. (SportsBuff.com)

 Player: John Carney K, New Orleans Saints 11/06/09, Time: 12:32 pm
 News: According to the New Orleans Times Picayune, it "doesn't appear" Carney is in any danger of losing his job to Garrett Huntley.
 Analysis:

Carney has missed three kicks over the past two weeks, so there's been some speculation that Huntley could take the job back. This situation bears watching since the Saints have a very fantasy-friendly offense. (SportsBuff.com)

 Player: Michael Boley LB, N.Y. Giants Giants 11/06/09, Time: 12:28 pm
 Status:
Probable
 News: According to the NY Post, Boley (right knee) has had no setbacks this week in practice and should be ready to go for Sunday against San Diego.
 Analysis:

Boley had surgery to repair a torn meniscus in the knee after injuring himself in Week 4. His pass-rushing ability should help a struggling Giants' secondary. (SportsBuff.com)

 Player: Chris Long DE, St. Louis Rams 11/06/09, Time: 12:18 pm
 News: Bernie Miklasz of the St. Louis Post Dispatch called Long the most disappointing player on the Rams at the halfway point of the team's season.
 Analysis:

Long has just one sack and 6.5 QB hurries/knockdowns so far this season. Not quite the kind of production St. Louis is looking for from the #2 overall pick in 2008. (SportsBuff.com)

 Player: Brandon Jacobs RB, N.Y. Giants Giants 11/06/09, Time: 12:14 pm
 News: According to the Newark Star Ledger, Jacobs said, regarding a 100-yard rushing game, "if anyone is due for one, it's definitely me."
 Analysis:

Jacobs has a decent chance to have a very productive day on Sunday against San Diego, who has struggled stopping the run this season. (SportsBuff.com)

 Player: Tony Romo QB, Dallas Cowboys 11/06/09, Time: 12:07 pm
 News: According to ESPNDallas.com, Romo is doing extra work after practice with disgruntled WR Roy Williams.
 Analysis:

Romo has been playing very well lately, despite Williams' lack of production. As long as Williams does not become "T.O. Jr.", Romo should continue to be an every-week fantasy starter. (SportsBuff.com)

 Player: Marc Bulger QB, St. Louis Rams 11/06/09, Time: 11:50 am
 News: According to the Associated Press, Rams' coach Steve Spagnuolo said he is sticking with Bulger as the team's starting QB.
 Analysis:

The Rams' offensive issues go beyond Bulger, something Spagnuolo's comments suggested he is aware of. Bulger is not a good fantasy option, and his backup Kyle Boller isn't either if he were to be pressed into duty. (SportsBuff.com)

 Player: Kevin Smith RB, Detroit Lions 11/06/09, Time: 11:08 am
 Status:
Probable
 News: According to MLive.com, Smith (shoulder) practiced on Thursday and is expected to play on Sunday against Seattle.
 Analysis:

Maurice Morris may get a few more touches since Smith seems to be a little banged up right now, but not enough to have major effect on Smith's fantasy value. (SportsBuff.com)

 Player: Muhsin Muhammad WR, Carolina Panthers 11/06/09, Time: 11:04 am
 Status:
Doubtful
 News: According to the Charlotte Observer, Muhammad (knee) missed Thursday's practice with a sprained MCL and said he doesn't expect to play on Sunday against New Orleans.
 Analysis:

Hopefully Muhammad's status does not make-or-break your fantasy team's chances this week. In any case, Dwayne Jarrett looks likely to start in his place for the second straight week. (SportsBuff.com)

 Player: Antonio Bryant WR, Tampa Bay Buccaneers 11/06/09, Time: 10:59 am
 Status:
Probable
 News: According to the St. Petersburg Times, Bryant (left knee) was limited in Thursday's practice.
 Analysis:

This is the same injury that Bryant has been playing through. His fantasy value is even more limited now with rookie Josh Freeman in line to make his first NFL start on Sunday against Green Bay. (SportsBuff.com)

 Player: Devin Hester WR, Chicago Bears 11/06/09, Time: 10:50 am
 Status:
Questionable
 News: According to the Chicago Daily News, Hester (ankle) missed practice on Thursday.
 Analysis:

Hester also missed practice on Wednesday, so Friday could be key in determining whether or not he will play on Sunday against Arizona. (SportsBuff.com)

 Player: Lance Moore WR, New Orleans Saints 11/06/09, Time: 10:45 am
 Status:
Questionable
 News: According to the New Orleans Times Picayune, Moore (ankle) did not practice on Thursday.
 Analysis:

Moore is barely worth a roster spot in fantasy leagues, despite being part of a prolific Saints' passing game. (SportsBuff.com)

 Player: Greg Olsen TE, Chicago Bears 11/06/09, Time: 10:43 am
 Status:
Probable
 News: According to Chicago Bears.com, Olsen (ankle) practiced in full on Thursday.
 Analysis:

Olsen does not seem to be in any danger of missing Sunday's game against Arizona. (SportsBuff.com)

 Player: Matt Hasselbeck QB, Seattle Seahawks 11/06/09, Time: 10:41 am
 Status:
Probable
 News: Hasselbeck (ribs) practiced in full on Thursday.
 Analysis:

Hasselbeck looks to be ready to go for a favorable matchup against Detroit on Sunday. (SportsBuff.com)

 Player: Jerious Norwood RB, Atlanta Falcons 11/06/09, Time: 10:37 am
 Status:
Questionable
 News: According to Atlanta Falcons.com, Norwood (right hip) did not practice on Thursday.
 Analysis:

Norwood missed last Monday's game against New Orleans, and his status for Sunday against Washington look iffy. (SportsBuff.com)

 Player: Ahmad Bradshaw RB, N.Y. Giants Giants 11/06/09, Time: 10:35 am
 Status:
Probable
 News: According to the Newark Star Ledger, Bradshaw (right foot/ankle) did not practice on Thursday.
 Analysis:

Bradshaw is trying to play with a cracked fifth metatarsal in his right foot, so the team is likely just holding him out to cut down the risk of a break that could end his seasn. He may be able to practice on Friday, and is expected to play on Sunday against San Diego. (SportsBuff.com)

 Player: Eddie Royal WR, Denver Broncos 11/06/09, Time: 8:25 am
 News: Royal has been a disappointment lately with only two catches for ten yards in his past two games.
 Analysis:

Royal has had only one big game when he had ten catches for 90 yards. In every other game, the most yards receiving he has had is 20 yards. (SportsBuff.com)

 Player: Reggie Wayne WR, Indianapolis Colts 11/06/09, Time: 8:23 am
 News: Wayne did not practice on Thursday but it is not injury related, according to the Indianapolis Star.
 Analysis:

Wayne was nursing a groin injury but he is still expected to play against Houston on Sunday. (SportsBuff.com)

 Player: Chris Chambers WR, Kansas City Chiefs 11/06/09, Time: 8:19 am
 News: The Kansas City Star reports that Chambers could make his Chiefs' debut on Sunday against the Jaguars.
 Analysis:

You should not rely on Chambers because it is still unclear what his role will be in the offense. Wait and see how he does before even considering starting him. (SportsBuff.com)

 Player: Todd Heap TE, Baltimore Ravens 11/06/09, Time: 8:18 am
 News: Heap, who has an ankle injury, practiced on a limited basis on Thursday.
 Analysis:

Heap is expected to play against the Bengals on Sunday. (SportsBuff.com)

 Analysis:

 Player: Ben Watson TE, New England Patriots 11/06/09, Time: 8:15 am
 News: Watson practiced on a limited basis on Thursday due to a minor back injury.
 Analysis:

The injury is not considered serious and he should be good to go against the Dolphins on Sunday. (SportsBuff.com)

 Player: Bob Sanders DB, Indianapolis Colts 11/06/09, Time: 8:14 am
 News: Sanders missed practice on Sunday due to an elbow injury.
 Analysis:

 Status:
Probable
 News: Westbrook (concussion) participate fully in Thursday's practice.
 Analysis:

Westbrook looks to all systems go for Sunday night against Dallas. If you own him, you basically have to start him. (SportsBuff.com)

 Status:
Probable
 News: Boss (right ankle) was limited in Thursday's practice.
 Analysis:
