Allen is considering questionable in Week 12 against Jacksonville. (SportsBuff.com)

The bright side here is that the decision was made early in the week and that further examination has confirmed that it's just a strain. It would be nice if fantasy owners could get him back for the final two weeks of the fantasy schedule, when the Rams get Seattle and San Francisco. (SportsBuff.com)

Woe is he who started Taylor this week thinking that he had some productivity ahead of him. As the lesser back in a timeshare, Taylor is always a risky play. (SportsBuff.com)

Peterson was also held out of the endzone for the first time in four weeks. The Vikings play the Jaguars and Bears in the next two weeks, so running room may be tough to find. Play Peterson anyway. (SportsBuff.com)

Frerotte isn't really doing the Vikings any favors. Should they fall out of the playoff race, they may give Tavaris Jackson another shot. (SportsBuff.com)

At least we didn't have to wait until Sunday morning to find out this time. (SportsBuff.com)

Antonio Pittman will likely start in his place. (SportsBuff.com)

This is much better news than Jackson owners have seen over the past few weeks. He's a fantasy starter if he goes against the Niners. (SportsBuff.com)

Any Ram offensive player is a risky play for the rest of the season. (SportsBuff.com)

Holt was dropped to a low-end No. 2 receiver at best. Keep him on your bench in any fantasy format. (SportsBuff.com)

Bulger must stay on your bench. The St. Louis offense has been a mess no matter who the head coach or the starting quarterback has been. (SportsBuff.com)

Berrian will find the sledding no easier against Tampa Bay. The Tampa Cover 2 defense does allow for more short passes so Berrian is better in PPR leagues. (SportsBuff.com)

Look for Frerotte to continue to struggle this week against Tampa. They will try to stop the running game so Frerotte should find a few passing yards. Leave him on your bench this week. (SportsBuff.com)

Peterson is the type of player that transcends match-ups. There is no other advice than to start him every game. (SportsBuff.com)

Brown was a chief recipient of the few games that the Rams started to play better. He scored 32 points in three weeks before scoring four points of the last two games. (SportsBuff.com)

The former Buckeye burst on the scene with 83 yards two weeks ago against the Patriots. Since then, he has 40 yards in 23 carries over two games. He's not worth starting or owning. (SportsBuff.com)

It's always good to give the young players a chan... What's that? Green's 38 years old? Oh, well - the poor Rams - that's all I can say. Perhaps Ram fans can put on their tapes of Super Bowl 34 to relieve their season. (SportsBuff.com)

It wasn't the Rams best game and Bulger was pretty bad too. He had that one spark two weeks ago against the Patriots with 304 yards, but he isn't worth owning anymore. (SportsBuff.com)

The Viking passing attack was off all afternoon and the team was saved by Adrian Peterson. Berrian will return to productivity soon but he makes for a lower echelon WR play. (SportsBuff.com)

Taylor is like the right-handed hitter in a platoon. He gets the minority of the action but he is a factor in the Viking offense. Play him at your risk, but he can score a TD from time to time. (SportsBuff.com)

After being seen as the savior of fantasy football prior to the season, some owners were worried after Peterson went for just 32 yards against the Saints. He has reeled off four consecutive 100+ yard games and has four TD's in the last three. (SportsBuff.com)

A caretaker QB should not get picked off more than once. Frerotte now has eight interceptions in the last three weeks. He hasn't topped 200 yards in either of his last two games. (SportsBuff.com)

The "doubtful" listing shows that the team isn't even retaining the public optimism it carried into the past two weeks. Fantasy owners should be thankful that the guesswork has been taken out of lineup setting in this case. Kenneth Darby is expected to start in his place, though an fantasy owner who has to use him is in dire straits. (SportsBuff.com)

It's tough to completely trust the team's reports, based on observations by others that Allen didn't appear to be too restricted in his movements this week. IDP owners should figure that he'll be unavailable, though. (SportsBuff.com)

That would mean that if Steven Jackson is remains unable to handle the job, Kenneth Darby would be the Rams' primary back in Week 10. No St. Louis runner is a good fantasy choice against a tough Jets run defense. (SportsBuff.com)

Let's hope we can find out the truth soon enough to start Allen if he'll be available or bench him if he's inactive. (SportsBuff.com)

Because the game is in Minnesota, Frerotte might not be a bad play this week. He has been finding Bernard Berrian for long passes in the past few weeks. (SportsBuff.com)

Taylor gets a lot of points on pass receptions. He has much higher status in PPR leagues. (SportsBuff.com)

Berrian is on a bit of a run. If you play match-ups you will want to sit him. If you play hot receivers you will want to play him. (SportsBuff.com)

While Shiancoe does not rate as a major piece of the Vikings offense, he makes the most out of his opportunities. He has all of his TD's in the last six games and makes for an above average bye week or injury replacement. (SportsBuff.com)

Berrian has scored a TD in his last four games and clearly is simpatico with Gus Frerotte. Who woulda thunkit? He has 78 or more yards in each of his last six games and makes for a nice third receiver. (SportsBuff.com)

Peterson had a quiet week against the Saints three weeks ago, but he has busted out since then. He is no longer in an even platoon with Chester Taylor and looks to add to his legend in the second half of the season. (SportsBuff.com)

The three TD's represented a season high, but Frerotte is not someone you want to trust with your top spot of the lineup. His seven interception to five TD ratio should tell you all you need to know. (SportsBuff.com)

Avery is clearly a player on the rise, so don't let his game against the Cardinals get you down. He has speed to burn and the Rams will continue to use him. (SportsBuff.com)

OK, so the TD came in garbage time - fantasy owners who were still loyal to the longtime producer won't complain. Will there be more TD's in the future for Holt or was just this a blip on the way down? (SportsBuff.com)

Jackson left his game on the field against Dallas. He was a DNP against the Patriots last week and was very limited this week. Watch his status during the week to see if he can play against the Jets. (SportsBuff.com)

He also lost a fumble and it looks like his 304-yard day against the Patriots was the exception rather than the rule. He has some decent match ups - Jets and 49ers - coming up, but only use him if your starter is on the bye. (SportsBuff.com)
