Not only does this take Johnsocinco out of lineups for this week, it should make it easier for the Steelers to roll coverage toward T.J. Houshmandzadeh. He should be devalued a bit, though he could still get his catches as pretty much the only option. (SportsBuff.com)

Everyone should be treating this situation as though Palmer will miss the rest of the year. (SportsBuff.com)

Parker is likely to see the bulk of the carries over Mewelde Moore and should be considered a RB2 against the Chargers. (SportsBuff.com)

Miller will miss his second straight game and remains questionable for the Steelers' Week 12 game against the Bengals. (SportsBuff.com)

Woodley missed the Steelers' game against the Colts in Week 10 with a calf injury but looks likely to return to action against the Chargers. (SportsBuff.com)

That returns Mewelde Moore to the status of good fantasy starter. The Colts have gotten better against the run since their Week 4 bye, but they let the Patriots go for 4.4 a carry last week. (SportsBuff.com)

He's still not a good fantasy choice against an Indy defense that has allowed just two touchdown passes all year. The Colts' Tampa 2 system makes it less important that Indy will be without both starting corners. (SportsBuff.com)

These numbers have been pretty typical for Holmes this season, less than what most expected from a player who seemed to be on the rise. He's a No. 3-caliber fantasy receiver at this point. (SportsBuff.com)

Washington's value comes entirely from big plays, which makes him a risky fantasy play at best. He doesn't get the ball enough to boast PPR value and doesn't offer much in general if he doesn't happen to reach the end zone. (SportsBuff.com)

It was expected that Moore would garner a bit more of the rushing load, especially because Pittsburgh coaches had espoused wariness for giving Parker too much work right away. Apparently they were lying, and Moore loses pretty much all fantasy value. He's only worth keeping around if you have a deep bench, in case Parker gets hurt again. (SportsBuff.com)

For anyone who was wondering if Mewelde Moore earned a larger share of carries with his work in Parker's absence, the answer is apparently no. Parker should once again be a regular fantasy starter. (SportsBuff.com)

It seems like Roethlisberger, who has had trouble with his throwing shoulder for most of the season, will probably start in Week 10 against the Colts. The constant pounding on the shoulder, though, could be a reason to sit him against a Colts defense that has allowed just one touchdown pass over the past three weeks. (SportsBuff.com)

Coach Mike Tomlin reportedly said after the game that his starter could have returned if needed despite an ailing right shoulder. Thus, it would seem likely that Roethlisberger will return for the Week 10 matchup with the Colts. (SportsBuff.com)

Like Houshmandzadeh, Johnsocinco continues to produce modest yardage totals but be a solid PPR option. He has the apparent advantage, though, of being Ryan Fitzpatrick's preferred scoring option. All four of Johnsocinco's four touchdowns have come from Fitzpatrick, which accounts for all of the TD passes the backup quarterback has thrown. (SportsBuff.com)

Housh continues to be a strong play in PPR leagues but a more modest option in those that don't count receptions. He has picked up less than 10 yards per catch in six of nine games and hasn't reached the end zone in four weeks. (SportsBuff.com)

As with Ryan Fitzpatrick's numbers, this should be taken as a sign of the Jaguars stinking rather than Benson coming around. Before Sunday, he was picking up 3.3 yards per carry. We'll see if he can continue to pick things up after the Week 10 bye, but there seems to be little reason to get excited. (SportsBuff.com)

This was clearly a case of Jacksonville's defensive ineptitude rather than Fitzpatrick's burgeoning fantasy value. Let's not forget that just a week ago he threw no touchdown passes and two picks at Houston and that he has yet to put up more than 164 yards after five starts. (SportsBuff.com)

His coaches say he isn't yet ready for a full workload and that Mewelde Moore will continue to get significant playing time. That status makes each player an iffy fantasy choice, though both could be considered for flex roles if you're in need. (SportsBuff.com)

Jackson's absence solidifies Chinedum Ndukwe and Marvin White as the starting safeties. (SportsBuff.com)

Moore is still a good fantasy option as he has proven in past weeks. Though the healthier Parker gets the more one will have to look elsewhere for points. (SportsBuff.com)

With Parker still hurting, Mewelde Moore still has solid fantasy value, though it is getting smaller every day. (SportsBuff.com)

If Holmes isn't extra motivated to perform this week after missing an important game that his team lost, then there's something wrong with him besides a lack of judgment. Don't let that rule your lineup decisions, but take it under consideration. (SportsBuff.com)

Too little to late for Holmes owners as he already cost them one game and may be more depending on what the league decides to do. (SportsBuff.com)

Washington finished with 1 catch for 65 yards and 1 td. It was a rough day for Pittsburgh all around throwing the ball. (SportsBuff.com)

Bad news for Ben owners if he dwells on this performance as Pittsburgh plays at Washington and is home against the Colts and San Diego before getting another easy game against the Bengals. (SportsBuff.com)

If Moore can continue this production owners will be very happy. (SportsBuff.com)

This is not his first run-in with the law since becoming a pro, so don't rule out the league adding to his time off. (SportsBuff.com)

He seemed to be nearing a return before a setback last week on the practice field. His fantasy owners can only hope he'll be back before the fantasy playoffs. (SportsBuff.com)

Looks like he'll be ready to go. He should be a fine IDP start against the Giants. (SportsBuff.com)

No word yet if they league will do anything yet. Given Commissioner Goodell's knack for punishment, Holmes may see some repercussions from his arrest. (SportsBuff.com)

Look for Ward to continue to log solid numbers this season. He is an excellent possession receiver as well as a down-field threat. (SportsBuff.com)

Monitor Parker closely. If he is healthy, he is a solid choice in Week 8. (SportsBuff.com)

If Parker is unable to go, Moore is a must-start in all fantasy formats. (SportsBuff.com)

Sunday marked just the second time all season that Johnsocinco caught more than four passes. For what it's worth, though, both have come with Ryan Fitzpatrick under center. Obviously, the loudmouthed one would be a much more regular fantasy contributor if we could count on him for a few more catches in the average week. (SportsBuff.com)

Housh remains a solid PPR-league option with Fitzpatrick on the field, but his value takes a hit in leagues that don't score receptions. Without Palmer, the Bengals are less likely to reach the end zone, and Housh gains less yardage. (SportsBuff.com)

Perry came into the game with an injury, but the lack of touches should serve as an indication of his severely depleted status with the team. If you didn't trade him within the 5 minutes that he carried any value, it's probably time to just cut him. (SportsBuff.com)

It's tough to draw many conclusions from such a performance in a blowout loss to a team with a tought defense. All we can know for sure is that Benson is the Cincy back to own in fantasy leagues at this point ... if you really feel the need to own one. (SportsBuff.com)
