PLAYER UPDATES Provided By SportsBuff.com
 Player: Kellen Winslow TE, Cleveland Browns 11/20/08, Time: 5:54 pm
 Status:
Questionable
 News: Winslow missed practiced on Thursday as he continues to rest his sprained right shoulder.
 Analysis:

He has not been ruled out for Sunday but at this point, it appears unlikely that Winslow will be healthy enough to play in Week 12 against the Texans. (SportsBuff.com)

 Player: Brady Quinn QB, Cleveland Browns 11/20/08, Time: 5:25 pm
 Status:
Probable
 News: Quinn has a small fracture in his right index finger.
 Analysis:

Quinn is still expected to start on Sunday against Houston and will wear a splint on the finger. (SportsBuff.com)

 Player: Brandon Lloyd WR, Chicago Bears 11/20/08, Time: 12:46 pm
 News: Lloyd was back in Week 11 after a long stint on the sidelines with an injury. He caught two balls for 17 in a loss against the Packers.
 Analysis:

Lloyd has had one real big fantasy week and has otherwise been either hurt or very ineffective. There are much better options at WR than Lloyd. (SportsBuff.com)

 Player: Matt Forte RB, Chicago Bears 11/20/08, Time: 12:44 pm
 News: Forte was relative quiet against the Packers in Week 11. He is still at the top of the RB heap with 189 fantasy points scored.
 Analysis:

Forte should get back to his earlier form with a Week 12 match-up against St. Louis. If Kyle Orton can start and throw the ball with some success then Forte is a good play. (SportsBuff.com)

 Player: Kyle Orton QB, Chicago Bears 11/20/08, Time: 12:43 pm
 News: Orton threw for only 133 yards in Week 11 and was yanked in favor of Rex Grossman late in the game.
 Analysis:

Monitor his health for Week 12. The Bears play a pretty weak team in St. Louis and if Orton is healthy, he is a decent play at QB. (SportsBuff.com)

 Player: Kellen Winslow TE, Cleveland Browns 11/19/08, Time: 8:38 pm
 Status:
Questionable
 News: Winslow has a sprained shoulder and is considered questionable for Sunday's game. According to the Cleveland Plain Dealer, Coach Romeo Crennel says that if Winslow can raise his arms over his head without limitation, he'll play.
 Analysis:

This looks like a decision that will probably go into the weekend, unless Winslow shows definitively before then that he's healthy enough. He's worth waiting on, if you can, because of the excellent matchup with the weak Houston pass defense. (SportsBuff.com)

 Player: D'Qwell Jackson LB, Cleveland Browns 11/18/08, Time: 6:17 am
 Status:
Hot
 News: Jackson had 11 total tackles, five solo in the Browns' victory over the Bills on Monday.
 Analysis:

Jackson has recorded 11 total tackles in three straight games. (SportsBuff.com)

 Player: Phil Dawson K, Cleveland Browns 11/18/08, Time: 6:09 am
 News: Dawson connected on all five field goal attempts and added two extra points on Monday against Buffalo.
 Analysis:

Dawson had a great game for the Browns', hitting the eventual game winning field goal from 56-yards with only 1:39 left in the game. (SportsBuff.com)

 Player: Jerome Harrison RB, Cleveland Browns 11/18/08, Time: 6:06 am
 News: Harrison had three carries for 80 yards and a touchdown in the Browns' 29-27 win over Buffalo on Monday.
 Analysis:

Harrison scored his first rushing touchdown of the season on a 72-yard run in the fourth quarter. (SportsBuff.com)

 Player: Kellen Winslow TE, Cleveland Browns 11/18/08, Time: 6:04 am
 News: Winslow caught three passes for 40 yards in Cleveland's 29-27 win over Buffalo on Monday.
 Analysis:

Winslow was coming off his best game of the season, a ten catch, 111-yard performance last week but the Browns' offense did not play well. Look for Winslow to bounce back strong in Week 12 against the Texans. (SportsBuff.com)

 Player: Jamal Lewis RB, Cleveland Browns 11/17/08, Time: 11:14 pm
 News: Lewis carried the ball 18 times for 65 yards against Buffalo on Monday.
 Analysis:

It has only been an okay year for Lewis so far this season, as has yet to record over 100 rushing yards after doing it five times last season. (SportsBuff.com)

 Player: Braylon Edwards WR, Cleveland Browns 11/17/08, Time: 11:10 pm
 News: Edwards had eight catches for 104 yards in Cleveland's 29-27 win over Buffalo on Monday.
 Analysis:

Edwards recorded his second 100-yard receiving game of the season, both of which have come during a Monday Night Football game. (SportsBuff.com)

 Player: Brady Quinn QB, Cleveland Browns 11/17/08, Time: 11:08 pm
 News: Quinn was 14-of-36 for 185 yards and no touchdowns in a 29-27 win over Buffalo on Monday. He also rushed four times for 18 yards.
 Analysis:

In his second career start, Quinn clearly struggled on the road in Buffalo, completing only 38.9 percent of his passes. (SportsBuff.com)

 Player: Brandon Lloyd WR, Chicago Bears 11/16/08, Time: 3:57 pm
 Status:
Cold
 News: Lloyd returned the field for the Bears against Green Bay but was limited to just two catches for 17 yards.
 Analysis:

It may take Lloyd a few weeks before he is right again and able to put up big numbers like he did at the beginning of the season. Of course, a healthy Kyle Orton would be of assistance as well. (SportsBuff.com)

 Player: Matt Forte RB, Chicago Bears 11/16/08, Time: 3:56 pm
 Status:
Hot
 News: Despite his team being blown out, Forte was productive yet again. He ran for 64 yards and received for another 45.
 Analysis:

Forte has been a steal for many fantasy teams. Even when he doesn't score, he sees the ball a lot and is getting more receptions. He has just enough wiggle to make some would-be tacklers miss and is strong enough to run over others. (SportsBuff.com)

 Player: Kyle Orton QB, Chicago Bears 11/16/08, Time: 3:52 pm
 Status:
Cold
 News: Orton returned a few weeks earlier than expected from a high ankle sprain and was ineffective against the Packers. He connected on just 50% of his 26 passes and fumbled.
 Analysis:

Orton had been a highly effective QB in the weeks prior to his injury, but any slight deviation was enough to throw him into a mess in Lambeau Field. Rex Grossman came in for some mop up duty, but Orton should be back on the field next week against the Rams. (SportsBuff.com)

 Player: Brandon Lloyd WR, Chicago Bears 11/16/08, Time: 10:47 am
 News: Brandon Lloyd is officially active today for the first time in weeks. He's no fantasy option for today but could have a chance to reestablish himself for future weeks. (SportsBuff.com)
 Player: Brandon Lloyd WR, Chicago Bears 11/16/08, Time: 9:40 am
 News: Brandon Lloyd is expected to play today after missing four games with a knee injury. Fantasy owners shouldn't consider him for today, but he offered some value before his injury. It's possible he could emerge as a fringe option for the end of the fantasy schedule. (SportsBuff.com)
 Player: Kyle Orton QB, Chicago Bears 11/16/08, Time: 8:28 am
 News: The Bears will get Kyle Orton back today, but fantasy owners shouldn't reinstall him just yet. Orton faces a Packers defense that has allowed league lows in completion rate (51.5) and passer rating (58.8) and leads the league in interceptions. (SportsBuff.com)
 Player: Shaun Rogers DT, Cleveland Browns 11/15/08, Time: 1:03 pm
 Status:
Questionable
 News: Rogers practiced on only a limited basis this week after hurting his neck against the Broncos last time out. He is listed as questionable but expected to play.
 Analysis:

Rogers is a good IDP lineman against the Bills and their ailing interior. (SportsBuff.com)

 Player: Brandon Lloyd WR, Chicago Bears 11/14/08, Time: 11:23 am
 News: Lloyd has missed the last five games due to injury and may return to the line-up in Week 11 in Green Bay.
 Analysis:

Lloyd had a great start to the season but has been slowed by injury. Chicago could very much use some receiving help but Lloyd would be a risky play because of the Green Bay cornerback play. (SportsBuff.com)

 Player: Rex Grossman QB, Chicago Bears 11/14/08, Time: 11:21 am
 News: Grossman will start if Orton is unable to go in Week 11. Grossman has been inconsistent during his return to the starting line-up.
 Analysis:

Grossman should stay on your bench. If the Bears were to win with Grossman under center, it would likely be due to the success of the running game. (SportsBuff.com)

 Player: Kyle Orton QB, Chicago Bears 11/14/08, Time: 11:20 am
 News: Orton did practice on Thursday but with a noticeable limp and a heavily taped ankle. Monitor his progress on Friday to determine if he will start Sunday.
 Analysis:

Orton has been a solid fantasy QB to date. If he is able to play, he would be considered a No. 2 QB because the team is likely to try and run the ball as much as possible. (SportsBuff.com)

 Player: Kyle Orton QB, Chicago Bears 11/13/08, Time: 7:49 am
 Status:
Probable
 News: Orton practiced in full on Wednesday and there is a very good chance that he will be the Bears' starting quarterback against Green Bay in Week 11.
 Analysis:

Orton suffered an ankle injury two weeks ago and missed the Bears' Week 10 loss to the Titans. Green Bay makes for a tough match up for Orton so if he starts, consider him a QB2 option. (SportsBuff.com)

 Player: Greg Olsen TE, Chicago Bears 11/11/08, Time: 1:40 pm
 News: Olsen caught five passes for 40 yards in Week 10. Olsen has to share catches from the TE position but has garnered a few more looks in the past few weeks.
 Analysis:

The Packers are hurting in the middle of the field with the loss of Nick Barnett so look for Olsen to have a good game. His productivity will depend on who starts at QB. (SportsBuff.com)

 Player: Matt Forte RB, Chicago Bears 11/11/08, Time: 1:38 pm
 News: Forte only managed 72 yards rushing in Week 10 but he also registered 54 yards receiving and caught a touchdown pass.
 Analysis:

Forte should have a nice game against Green Bay. The Packers gave up huge yardage last week and Forte runs a lot like Adrian Peterson. Consider him a must-start in all formats. (SportsBuff.com)

 Player: Kyle Orton QB, Chicago Bears 11/11/08, Time: 1:35 pm
 News: Orton says he is optimistic about his chances of playing in Week 11 in Green Bay. Orton sat out last weekend with a high ankle sprain suffered in Week 9.
 Analysis:

If Orton can go, he is a decent play. He was amassing some pretty impressive fantasy numbers before the ankle injury. (SportsBuff.com)

 Player: Greg Olsen TE, Chicago Bears 11/09/08, Time: 6:59 pm
 Status:
Steady
 News: Olsen had a decent game with five catches for 40 yards against the Titans.
 Analysis:

Olsen is working his way into being a starting fantasy tight end. He has some moves after he catches the ball and seems to be redeeming himself for his two-fumble game earlier in the season against the Panthers. (SportsBuff.com)

 Player: Devin Hester WR, Chicago Bears 11/09/08, Time: 6:57 pm
 Status:
Steady
 News: Hester had a productive day with four catches for 54 yards. He also had 112 return yards.
 Analysis:

Hester will never be a great receiver, but he made good even with Rex Grossman throwing the passes. Hester has yet to return a kick for a TD, which shows how amazing his first two years in the league were. (SportsBuff.com)

 Player: Matt Forte RB, Chicago Bears 11/09/08, Time: 6:53 pm
 Status:
Hot
 News: Forte had a solid game against the Titans. He had 72 yards on the ground and 54 yards with a touchdown through the air.
 Analysis:

Forte is really the only Bear worth owning and playing. He gets the ball consistently and makes good on his opportunities. Keep starting him. (SportsBuff.com)

 Player: Rex Grossman QB, Chicago Bears 11/09/08, Time: 6:50 pm
 Status:
Steady
 News: Grossman was not horrible against a top notch Titan defense. He only gave the ball up once and looked a bit better in the pocket.
 Analysis:

The final stats are not pretty: 173 yards on 20-for-37, but he did score two TD's (one passing, one rushing). I'd be hard pressed to find a worse fantasy QB, but that doesn't mean I can't like Grossman. (SportsBuff.com)

 Player: Kyle Orton QB, Chicago Bears 11/09/08, Time: 11:31 am
 News: Kyle Orton is the third quarterback for the Bears today, leaving the starting job to Rex Grossman. Good news for those starting the Tennessee defense. (SportsBuff.com)
 Player: Charles Tillman DB, Chicago Bears 11/09/08, Time: 8:46 am
 News: CB Charles Tillman was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable because of the shoulder injury that caused him to miss a game. His status doesn?t appear to have changed from last week, though, when he started against the Lions. Go ahead and play him. (SportsBuff.com)
 Player: Kyle Orton QB, Chicago Bears 11/09/08, Time: 8:45 am
 News: Although Kyle Orton was clinging to hope this week that he might be able to play today, he?s doubtful for the game. Rex Grossman?s presence should only make owners of the Titans defense happier. (SportsBuff.com)
 Player: Charles Tillman DB, Chicago Bears 11/08/08, Time: 11:55 am
 Status:
Questionable
 News: Tillman practiced on a limited basis this week and is listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup with the Titans.
 Analysis:

He carried the same status into last week's game and started. Expect him to be in there this week. (SportsBuff.com)

 Player: Braylon Edwards WR, Cleveland Browns 11/07/08, Time: 7:51 am
 Status:
Cold
 News: Edwards caught just one pass for 15 yards on Thursday night in Brady Quinn's first start at quarterback. Quinn threw in Edwards' direction several other times but couldn't connect.
 Analysis:

It'd be nice to chalk the lack of action up as an aberration, but we'll have to see what kind of connection Quinn and Edwards have and/or can develop. The return to health of Donte' Stallworth and Quinn's apparent comfort with Kellen Winslow II probably won't help Edwards' numbers. (SportsBuff.com)

 Player: Kellen Winslow TE, Cleveland Browns 11/07/08, Time: 7:49 am
 Status:
Hot
 News: Winslow caught 10 balls for 111 yards and two touchdowns in Thursday night's loss.
 Analysis:

He also made a couple of key mistakes, but those don't matter much in the fantasy sense. Brady Quinn hit the tight end more than twice as often as any other passing target, which bodes well for Winslow's value going forward. (SportsBuff.com)

 Player: Jamal Lewis RB, Cleveland Browns 11/07/08, Time: 7:47 am
 News: Lewis carried 19 times for just 60 yards and a touchdown in the Thursday night loss to the Broncos.
 Analysis:

The fact that he didn't manage more yards against one of the league's weakest run defenses could be indicative of Lewis' lack of fantasy potential and the team's unimpressive use of him. Cleveland ran a disturbing number of plays to the outside, when staying between the tackles would have taken better advantage of Lewis' attributes and attacked the Broncos' vulnerability. Lewis is a marginal fantasy starter the rest of the way. (SportsBuff.com)

 Player: Brady Quinn QB, Cleveland Browns 11/07/08, Time: 7:43 am
 Status:
Hot
 News: Quinn completed 23 of 35 passes for 239 yards and two touchdowns in his debut as a starter Thursday night.
 Analysis:

Although the Browns lost, it was tough to find anything to dislike about Quinn's performance. By the time Week 11 games start, he'll likely be owned in nearly all fantasy leagues. Don't get overaggressive in starting him, though, as Denver carries one of the league's worst defenses, especially with several key starters injured. (SportsBuff.com)

 Player: Kyle Orton QB, Chicago Bears 11/06/08, Time: 12:10 pm
 Status:
Questionable
 News: The AP has reported that Orton says he isn't ruling out being able to play this week. He sprained his right ankle against the Lions last Sunday.
 Analysis:

Unless that ankle is really feeling pretty good by Sunday, it doesn't seem like the Bears would be too smart to play him. Even if they do, Tennessee is not a matchup that fantasy owners should test. (SportsBuff.com)

 Player: Kyle Orton QB, Chicago Bears 11/05/08, Time: 3:35 pm
 News: The MRI results showed no permanent damage to the ankle of Orton. He is expected to miss 3-4 weeks.
 Analysis:

Orton showed signs of being a reliable fantasy QB before his injury. He will get every chance to get his job back once he is healthy. (SportsBuff.com)

 Player: Rex Grossman QB, Chicago Bears 11/05/08, Time: 3:33 pm
 News: Sexy Rexy is back under center for the Bears but that does not mean he needs to be in your line-up. Grossman will have his hands full with the Titans this week.
 Analysis:

Kyle Orton is expected to miss 3-4 weeks with a high ankle sprain and Grossman will do his best to keep Chicago competitive. He is a very risky play until you find out which Rex shows up on Sunday. (SportsBuff.com)

 Player: Devin Hester ST, Chicago Bears 11/05/08, Time: 3:31 pm
 News: Hester is now a full-time receiver and special teams performer. He has filled in nicely for the injured Brandon Lloyd and is always a threat to score on a return, or by catching a pass or on a run.
 Analysis:

Hester is a decent play because of his ability to score. Every time he touches the ball he is a threat to score. (SportsBuff.com)

 Player: Derek Anderson QB, Cleveland Browns 11/03/08, Time: 7:07 pm
 Status:
Cold
 News: Anderson has been benched by the Browns, in favor of Brady Quinn.
 Analysis:

This move isn't exactly shocking, but it does come at a strange time. Anderson has tossed six touchdown passes and just one interception over his past four games and has all three of his 200-yard games within that span. If Quinn struggles, Anderson could see the field again. (SportsBuff.com)

 Player: Brady Quinn QB, Cleveland Browns 11/03/08, Time: 7:03 pm
 News: Quinn will start Thursday night against the Broncos, as the team has decided to bench Derek Anderson.
 Analysis:

The move seems to come at a strange time, as Anderson has posted decent numbers over his past four games. Nevertheless, Quinn gets a nice matchup to start against a Denver defense that has yielded the second highest passer rating and highest completion percentage to opposing quarterbacks. (SportsBuff.com)

 Player: Kellen Winslow TE, Cleveland Browns 11/03/08, Time: 8:38 am
 News: Winslow caught five passes for 64 yards in Sunday's loss.
 Analysis:

It's nothing special, but his owners should be happy to see that line compared with Steve Heiden's two receptions for 25 yards. Winslow remains one of the team's main targets in the passing game. (SportsBuff.com)

 Player: Braylon Edwards WR, Cleveland Browns 11/03/08, Time: 8:36 am
 Status:
Steady
 News: Edwards caught four passes for 86 yards and a touchdown against the Ravens on Sunday.
 Analysis:

He still isn't exciting fantasy owners, but Edwards has generally done enough over the past few weeks to maintain starter consideration after a terrible start. He should get a Champ Bailey-less Denver backfield on Thursday night. (SportsBuff.com)

 Player: Jamal Lewis RB, Cleveland Browns 11/03/08, Time: 8:34 am
 News: Lewis carried 19 times for just 49 yards in Sunday's loss to Baltimore.
 Analysis:

Meager fantasy option, very tough matchup -- this result was to be expected. Thursday night's meeting with Denver looks much more favorable. (SportsBuff.com)

 Player: Derek Anderson QB, Cleveland Browns 11/03/08, Time: 8:32 am
 News: Anderson managed to complete just more than 50 percent of his passes but put up 219 yards and two touchdowns to go with an interception in Sunday's loss to Baltimore.
 Analysis:

It was a far sight better than his first performance against the Ravens this season and another indication that fantasy owners can get back to at least considering Anderson on a regular basis. (SportsBuff.com)

 Player: Devin Hester WR, Chicago Bears 11/02/08, Time: 5:58 pm
 Status:
Cold
 News: Hester hauled in four catches for 42 yards, but gave most of his points away by losing a fumble.
 Analysis:

Hester has always been liable to lose fumbles and has lost two this year. He is a great returner but merely a below average receiver. If your league gives bonuses for return yards, he is worth owning. (SportsBuff.com)
