Latest NFL Player News

Matt Hasselbeck, QB SEA - Free Agent Updated 12/26/01
Trent Dilfer will start this week in place of Hasselbeck, whose separated left shoulder is too sore for him to play. Coach Mike Holmgren said Wednesday that Hasselbeck aggravated the injury, which he's had since the third week of the season, against the New York Giants last Sunday. "There's a chance I might have him and he could play in an emergency-type situation, but he's pretty sore," Holmgren said.

James Stewart, RB DET - Tori Kuykendall Updated 12/26/01
Stewart is day to day with a sprained ankle. His status for this week's game is unclear.

Jeff Graham, WR SD - Martin Cuilla Updated 12/26/01
Graham may miss his second consecutive game this week because of the death of his father. With Tim Dwight (lung) still ailing, Trevor Gaylor may have to start again.

Skip Hicks, RB TEN - FIBSABs Updated 12/26/01
Hicks is expected to miss this week's game with a hamstring injury, and may miss the rest of the season. Eddie George should assume a regular workload once again.

Smith is day to day with a hip injury. He is expected to play this week.

Peter Warrick, WR CIN - Top Dogs Updated 12/26/01
Warrick, who was benched late in last week's game, is expected to start. He has been a disappointment this year and Fantasy players should not use him at this point of the postseason.

Todd Bouman, QB MIN - Free Agent Updated 12/26/01
Bouman (thumb) may attempt to practice late in the week. His status remains unclear for this week's game, and Spergon Wynn is available to start if needed.

Wesley Walls, TE CAR - Tori Kuykendall Updated 12/26/01
Walls is day to day with a knee injury. He should be able to play this week.

Muhsin Muhammad, WR CAR - Fear Updated 12/26/01
Muhammad is still battling a turf toe injury. His status for Week 16 is still unclear.

Larry Parker, WR KC - Free Agent Updated 12/26/01

Oronde Gadsden, WR MIA - Baja Updated 12/26/01
Gadsden (hamstring) might miss his second consecutive game this week. Chris Chambers may start in his place again.

Fred Taylor, RB JAC - Hunter Shively Updated 12/26/01
Taylor (groin) has returned to practices and is working with the scout team. He might appear in the team's final game, and is a longshot to play this week. He has missed too much playing time to warrant serious Fantasy consideration at this point of the playoffs.

Rod Smith, WR DEN - Baja Updated 12/26/01
Smith (ankles) has returned to practice. He is expected to play this week.

Raghib Ismail, WR DAL - Rocks Updated 12/26/01

Jason Brookins, RB BAL - Free Agent Updated 12/26/01
Brookins may be able to return for Baltimore's final game. For now, Terry Allen and Moe Williams will continue to split carries.

Jerome Bettis, RB PIT - Fear Updated 12/25/01
Bettis is listed as questionable for Week 16. However, he may be able to return to the Steelers' starting lineup. Bill Cowher said Bettis is progressing, and he will be used this week if healthy.

James Stewart, RB DET - Tori Kuykendall Updated 12/23/01
Stewart suffered a sprained ankle early in Sunday's game at Pittsburgh. He was replaced by Lamont Warren in the first quarter, and Stewart did not return.

Todd Bouman, QB MIN - Free Agent Updated 12/23/01
Bouman was able to start Sunday's game, but he re-injured his thumb in the first quarter and was replaced by Spergon Wynn.

Wesley Walls, TE CAR - Tori Kuykendall Updated 12/23/01
Walls was able to play in Sunday's game despite an ankle injury, but he left the game before halftime after spraining his left knee.

Martin Gramatica, K TB - Fear Updated 12/23/01
Gramatica injured his hamstring in the fourth quarter on Sunday. The Buccaneers may sign a free agent kicker to replace him in Week 16.

Todd Bouman, QB MIN - Free Agent Updated 12/23/01
Bouman is now listed as probable for Sunday's game. He should be able to start against the Jaguars, but he may play with some pain in his thumb.

Jeff Graham, WR SD - Martin Cuilla Updated 12/23/01
Graham probably won't play Sunday at Kansas City because of the death of his father in a car accident, coach Mike Riley said Friday. If Graham doesn't play, Trevor Gaylor will start in his place and Nate Turner will be signed off the practice squad. The Chargers are already missing their No. 3 receiver, Tim Dwight, due t! o ! complications of a collapsed lung.

Antowain Smith, RB NE - Baja Updated 12/23/01
Smith rushed for a career-high 156 yards and a touchdown Saturday. He has been one of the best runners in the AFC and will help carry your team to Fantasy glory.

Steve McNair, QB TEN - Rocks Updated 12/23/01
McNair played Saturday despite suffering from back spasms all week. He played well, throwing a touchdown pass in the second half. Expect him to be a solid No. 1 QB.

Jeff Garcia, QB SF - Martin Cuilla Updated 12/23/01
Garcia, whose practice time was limited all week, played in Saturday's game. He admitted afterwards that he has a cracked rib. He played with extra padding, saying it didn't greatly affect his throws. Garcia might not be at full strength in the remaining weeks but he will still be a solid No. 1 Fantasy QB.

Elvis Grbac, Active QB Updated 12/21/01
Grbac has been inconsistent at times this season but should still be an adequate starter during the Fantasy playoffs. Expect him throw for at least 200 yards and a touchdown.

Marvin Harrison, Active WR Updated 12/21/01
Harrison will be an important Fantasy player during the final weeks of the NFL season. He will have some good outings, even though the Colts are not in the playoff race.

Donald Hayes, Active WR Updated 12/21/01
Hayes may step back into the forefront this week as the No. 1 wideout in place of Muhsin Muhammad. He isn't very explosive, however, and won't help Fantasy teams much during Weeks 15 through 17.

Joe Horn, Active WR Updated 12/21/01
Horn is once again performing like an elite Fantasy receiver. He is a must-start player during the final weeks of the NFL season.

Donovan McNabb, Reserve QB Updated 12/17/01
McNabb injured his wrist on Sunday. He should be able to play in Week 15.

Terrell Davis, Reserve RB Updated 12/14/01
Davis (knee) is listed as probable for Sunday's game. You should have no reservations about starting him against the Chiefs.

James Allen, Active RB Updated 12/09/01
According to published reports, Allen will split carries with Anthony Thomas on Sunday against Green Bay. Thomas is expected to start, but Allen will spell the rookie during the game.

Ravens, Active DT Updated 11/20/01
Defensive end Michael McCrary will miss the rest of the season after undergoing knee surgery. His loss will certainly lower the sack output of the Baltimore defense and may mean the team will allow more passing yardage than usual.

Marcus Robinson, Reserve WR Updated 11/15/01
Robinson's prognosis for recovery from surgery to repair two ligaments in his left knee is seven to nine months. That would put him on target to return around the start of training camp next season, but you should check back on his status during the summer.

Joe Nedney, Active K Updated 10/23/01
Nedney suffered a neck injury in Sunday's game but is expected to play this week.

Lions, Reserve DT Updated 10/21/01
Defensive back Bryant Westbrook has been listed as out for Sunday's game against Tennessee. This could mean big things for Steve McNair and the Titans' passing game, who should have an easy time beating Detroit's corners on a regular basis.

Sylvester Morris, Reserve WR Updated 08/29/01
Morris, who is recovering from knee surgery, was not placed on injured reserve by the Chiefs. There is a chance he might be activated late in the year, but it is doubtful that he will help Fantasy leaguers this season.

Kimble Anders, Reserve RB Updated 02/26/01
Anders, a three-time Pro Bowler, was released by the Kansas City Chiefs Friday. Anders, who had spent his entire 10-year career with the Chiefs, never recorded more than 400 rushing yards in a single season but went to the Pro Bowl as a fullback for his blocking and receiving.

Robert Smith, Active RB Updated 02/07/01
Smith, the leading rusher in Minnesota Vikings history, is retiring after eight injury-plagued seasons. His agent, Neil Cornrich told members of the media that Smith has decided to "embark on another aspect of his professional life."
