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)

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)

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)

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)

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)

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)

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)

Boss should be ready to go for Sunday against San Diego, but is worth consideration only as a bye week fill-in. (SportsBuff.com)

There is some concern that Cooley could be placed on IR, which would obviously end his season. Fred Davis will take his place while he is out, however long that may be, and is worthy of being picked up in most fantasy leagues. (SportsBuff.com)

Manningham looks likely to play this week against San Diego after missing Week 8 against Philadelphia. But since he is likely to lose time to rookie Hakeem Nicks, he is not a strong fantasy play. (SportsBuff.com)

Jones would take the place of Chrus Samuels (neck) who is out for the season. (SportsBuff.com)

Canty could return this week against San Diego. He has not played since Week 1. (SportsBuff.com)

Boley could return this week against San Diego. (SportsBuff.com)

Cooley admitted that he's "not really getting around so well", perhaps infering that the four week recovery timetable that was announced after his surgery may have been a little aggressive. In any case, he will be out for awhile, which opens the door for Fred Davis to be the Redskins' starting TE in his absence. (SportsBuff.com)

The Giants are probably trying to limit Bradshaw's practice reps since he is playing with a cracked fifth metatarsal. He is worth some fantasy consideration this week against the 27th-ranked Chargers' run defense. (SportsBuff.com)

Boss should be ready to go for this week against San Diego, but isn't a great fantasy option as he may be used heavily as a blocker to help the Giants' offensive tackles deal with Chargers' OLBs Shawne Merriman, Larry English and Shaun Phillips. (SportsBuff.com)

Campbell injured the ankle during the Redskins' Week 7 loss to Philadelphia, but appears to have used the bye week to get healthy. He could be a sneaky fantasy play this week against a struggling Atlanta secondary. (SportsBuff.com)

Davis will be Washington's primary TE while Chris Cooley (right leg) is out, and could be worth adding if you are a Cooley owner or are in need of a TE. (SportsBuff.com)

With Mario Manningham (shoulder) questionable for Sunday's game against Philadelphia, Nicks could be in line for significant playing time this week. (SportsBuff.com)

Rookie Hakeem Nicks would take on a larger role if Manningham is out. Expect him to be a game-time decision this week, and he is not a strong fantasy option even if he is able to go. (SportsBuff.com)

We should get an update later Friday on Manningham's status, but he has been plagued by drops lately and is losing time to rookie Hakeem Nicks. (SportsBuff.com)

An orthopedic specialist found that Bradshaw has a cracked fifth metatarsal in his right foot, but he will attempt to play through it even though he risks a season-ending injury if the bone becomes fully broken. Bradshaw is not a good fantasy option this week. (SportsBuff.com)

What's with the Giants and foot injuries lately? Bradshaw's effectiveness will come down to how much he can stand the pain and whether or not the injury worsens, but Brandon Jacobs should see more work going forward. (SportsBuff.com)

Bradshaw will attempt to play through the injury, which is a risk since he would require surgery if it breaks all the way. He will likely continue to not practice much, if at all, during the week and then play on Sundays. (SportsBuff.com)

Bradshaw visited a specialist on Wednesday, so the fact that he is back with the team is a good sign. He has followed a routine of not practicing much during the week and then playing on Sundays, which should continue barring any setbacks. (SportsBuff.com)

Manning threw three interceptions last week against Arizona, and things will not get any easier this week against Philadelphia. (SportsBuff.com)

ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Cooley will undergo surgery which will end his 2009 season, and Reskins' head coach Jim Zorn cofirmed that he is likely headed for IR. Second-year man Fred Davis will replace Cooley as the Redskins' starting TE when they return to action in Week 9 against Atlanta. (SportsBuff.com)

The Redskins have a bye in Week 8, so Campbell should be ready to go for Week 9 against Atlanta. (SportsBuff.com)

Boss should be ready to go for Week 8 against Philadelphia, but he is not really a good fantasy option at this point (14 receptions for 196 yards so far this season).

Earlier reports suggested that Cooley is done for the season, but Redskins' head coach Jim Zorn only said he would be out for some time. Cooley's fantasy owners need to find a replacement immediately. (SportsBuff.com)

Smith did not have a catch until the second half of the game, and he has eight catches in the last two games. He had two games with double digit catches earlier in the season, but don't expect him to get close to that kind of production until the Giants' offense gets back in sync. (SportsBuff.com)

The touchdown came on a tipped ball and Nicks happened to be in the right spot. But the rookie has now scored in four straight games since returning from a foot injury and should continue to take playing time from Mario Manningham. (SportsBuff.com)

Samuels, a six-time Pro Bowler who was drafted third overall in 2000, had been scheduled to visit a specialist this week, so the prognosis must not have been good. Stephon Heyer is likely to take his spot at LT, but newly signed Levi Jones is also an option. (SportsBuff.com)

Rookie Hakeem Nicks has cut into Manningham's playing time, but all significant members of the Giants' passing game are usable under the right circumstance this week against a poor Cardinals' pass defense. (SportsBuff.com)

Manning's got a very favorable matchup this week against a bad Arizona pass defense. (SportsBuff.com)

Bradshaw has followed a routine of missing practice time on Wednesday and Thursday and then being ready to go on Sundays the last few weeks. He has been playing at a high level, and is worth consideration as a flex play even with a tough matchup coming against Arizona this week. (SportsBuff.com)

Kelly has not shown much in practice or in games, and that will have to change before he becomes fantasy relevant. (SportsBuff.com)

With the Redskins struggling so much offensively, attempts to shake things up should be expected. Thomas still does not have much fantasy value at this point. (SportsBuff.com)

Portis reportedly cited a myriad of issues with his right leg, including ankle and calf issues along with plantar fasciitis. The extra day before Monday night's game against Philadelphia should help him be ready to go, and further updates should come between now and then. (SportsBuff.com)

Bradshaw has been dealing with this ankle issue for a few weeks now, so this does not appear to be a big concern. Expect to see him in action on Sunday night against Arizona. (SportsBuff.com)

Samuels, Washington's starting LT, has been to six Pro Bowls in his career so his loss is a big blow to the Redskins. (SportsBuff.com)

The fact that Bradshaw went through any part of practice on a Wednesday, something he has not done the last couple of weeks, could be a sign he is getting healthier. (SportsBuff.com)

Manning should be ready to go for Sunday night's game against Arizona, and the Cardinals' 31st-ranked pass defense. (SportsBuff.com)

Portis left last week's game against Kansas City with this issue, but was able to return. The extra day to get healthy for Monday night's game against the Eagles should help, but this is another reminder of how Portis is perpetually banged up these days. (SportsBuff.com)

Collins replaced Jason Campbell during last week's loss to Kansas City, and could do so again on Monday night. Zorn appears to have almost no confidence in Campbell, but Collins doesn't seem like the answer. (SportsBuff.com)

Samuels is out indefinitely, and his absence at LT will hurt an already anemic Redskins' offense. (SportsBuff.com)

Ganther will likely step in as the Redskins' No. 3 running back, but could move into some playing time if Clinton Portis' myriad of injuries eventually causes him to miss any time. (SportsBuff.com)

The Redskins are fairly desperate for offensive line help, with LT Chris Samuels (neck) out indefinitely. Jones played for the Cincinnati Bengals previously. (SportsBuff.com)

Campbell was benched during last week's loss to Kansas City in favor of Todd Collins. Reports have suggested that new Redskins' play caller Sherman Lewis prefers Campbell. (SportsBuff.com)

Collins replaced Jason Campbell during Week 6 against Kansas City, and could start next week. In any case the Redskins' offense is a mess right now, and whoever is under center is not worth fantasy consideration at this point. (SportsBuff.com)
