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)

Battle would miss his third straight game if he sits out on Sunday. (SportsBuff.com)

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

Davis is far too inconsistent to start on a regular basis. There are better options is Week 12. (SportsBuff.com)

Keep an eye on Hill with Arnaz Battle and Josh Morgan nursing injuries. (SportsBuff.com)

Gore is a must-start in all fantasy formats. (SportsBuff.com)

With the Niners' pass offense facing a favorable matchup with the Rams, Morgan's absence enhances the value of fellow receiver Jason Hill and tight end Vernon Davis. (SportsBuff.com)

Gore had missed practice with soreness in his neck but is ready to go for Sunday. He is a must-start fantasy option against a terrible St. Louis run defense. (SportsBuff.com)

Keep your eye on the situation as Gore has a fantastic match up against the Rams this weekend and is a must-start fantasy option if healthy. (SportsBuff.com)

Battle has 24 catches for 318 yards so far this season and has been kept out of the end zone. (SportsBuff.com)

Davis is a major talent that still has yet to find a way to get open on a consistent basis. The volatile Davis is a risky play this weekend. (SportsBuff.com)

Morgan is clearly the best talent on a team that seriously lacks it. Consider him a decent play in Week 11 against St. Louis. (SportsBuff.com)

Hill seems to be the No. 1 choice for quarterback in San Francisco and they are playing the hapless Rams in Week 11. Consider him a decent option at No. 2 quarterback. (SportsBuff.com)

Willis remains an IDP stud as he is once again among the league leaders in tackles. His 66 solo tackles is tops in the NFL. (SportsBuff.com)

Morgan recorded his second touchdown catch in his last three games. (SportsBuff.com)

The touchdown was the first of the season for Davis but he remains too inconsistent to warrant a start unless in a two TE league. (SportsBuff.com)

Hill had a breakout game for the 49ers, leading the team in both catches and yards against Arizona. Hill got a lot of looks from QB Shaun Hill and is a sleeper in 12-team leagues going forward. (SportsBuff.com)

Hill was making his first start of the season for the 49ers in place of J.T. O'Sullivan. Hill played well in the first half but was picked off twice in the fourth quarter, finishing with a quarterback rating of only 60.1. (SportsBuff.com)

Gore played well against the Cardinals, rushing for over 90 yards for the second straight game and for the third time in his last four games. (SportsBuff.com)

Bruce is solid but unspectacular and is not a reliable fantasy option. Monitor the progress of QB Shaun Hill when considering Bruce. (SportsBuff.com)

Hill has looked a bit more comfortable in the pocket lately. He is in a high octane offense and should post decent numbers every week. (SportsBuff.com)

Davis has all the tools but is a risky play at best. It really makes no difference who his match up is against, his consistent is inconsistency. (SportsBuff.com)

Morgan has been a pet project of offensive coordinator Mike Martz. Look for him to rebound from a non-existent performance in Week 8. (SportsBuff.com)

Gore is a must play in all fantasy formats. (SportsBuff.com)

Keep your eye on Hill, but keep him on your bench. Any offense that is directed by Mike Martz will always have the potential to score points. (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)

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

Gore is a must-play in all fantasy formats and will be one again in Week 10. (SportsBuff.com)

Bruce is always a threat to register points. Maybe he will click with Shaun Hill and can be considered at No. 3 receiver again this year. (SportsBuff.com)

Hill should put up decent numbers considering the type of offense he will be directing. Keep an eye on the 49ers practice this week for signs of his progress and consider him a sleeper pick in Week 10. (Sportsbuff.com)

With that creative genius Mike Martz at the controls, Hill might have some value. OK, Martz has not really worked wonders with O'Sullivan, but maybe he was just waiting for Hill to turn on the offensive spout. If so, Hill could be a decent bye week replacement. (SportsBuff.com)

I'd never argue with any decision Samurai Mike made and Shaun Hill did play a little better than O'Sullivan. In his last three starts, O'Sullivan threw for one TD and five interceptions. (SportsBuff.com)

Davis just goes to show that if you are drafted in the first round and have all of the measurables, you still might not be able to play in the NFL. He stinks. (SportsBuff.com)

Gore made up for his quiet day against the Giants (just 11 yards rushing), although he did not score a TD for the fourth time in the last five games. He still makes for a solid every week play. (SportsBuff.com)

Make sure you look to see who San Francisco starts at QB this week before you even consider playing O'Sullivan. (SportsBuff.com)

Bruce is always a threat to register fantasy points because he is a veteran and he knows how to get open. Bruce will continue to register solid, but unspectacular fantasy numbers. (SportsBuff.com)

Morgan can be a very effective sleeper pick this week. The 49ers play the Seahawks in a game that could feature a ton of offense. (SportsBuff.com)

Hill played pretty well last season after taking over for Alex Smith. The Week 9 bye could be targeted for making a change, but it'll be interesting to see if the urgency of Nolan's job status spurs a move this week. (SportsBuff.com)

Shaun Hill could get another shot at starting for the Niners, though it will be interesting to see what role Coordinator Mike Martz plays in any potential change. He was the biggest advocate for adding O'Sullivan in the off-season after coaching him in Detroit. The Niners have a Week 9 bye, which could help O'Sullivan get one more shot against Seattle this week. (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)
