To customize, reschedule, or turn= off these reports please click here Player Updates NFL Reports Latest= NFL Player News - Provided by Commissioner.COM Redskins , DT WAS - Okie = Pride Updated 10/17/01 Cornerback Champ Bailey missed practice on Wednesday= due to a sprained ankle, but he's expected to play on Sunday. Fred Smoot (= leg), however, is in danger of missing this weekend's contest against Carol= ina. Darrell Green would replace Smoot if he's unable to go. Rob Moore , = WR ARI - Free Agent Updated 10/17/01 Moore (hamstring) is listed as probabl= e for Sunday's game against Kansas City. He hasn't been full speed at pract= ice, however, so don't consider him Fantasy-wise just yet. Patrick Jeffer= s , WR CAR - Free Agent Updated 10/17/01 Jeffers (knees) saw extensive work= in practice today and may be ready to play this weekend against New Orlean= s. However, Jeffers is too risky to start from a Fantasy perspective. Muh= sin Muhammad , WR CAR - Terminators Updated 10/17/01 Muhammad's ribs are st= ill sore after taking a few ! sh! ots during Sunday's game against New Orle= ans. Coach George Seifert expects him to play, but he may be somewhat limit= ed. Unless his status improves by the end of the week, Fantasy owners may w= ant to consider benching Muhammad if at all possible. Chris Weinke , QB C= AR - Free Agent Updated 10/17/01 Weinke missed practice on Wednesday due to= a thigh injury. However, Head Coach George Seifert expects the rookie quar= terback to start on Sunday against Washington. If you need a quarterback th= is week, Weinke is a good choice facing a terrible Redskins' defense. Ter= ance Mathis , WR ATL - Swamis Stallions Updated 10/17/01 Mathis (hand) retu= rned to practice on Wednesday. He is expected to start on Sunday against Ne= w Orleans, but he's only worth starting in deeper leagues from a Fantasy pe= rspective. ! Shawn Jefferson , WR ATL - Sack Attack Updated 10/17/01 Jeff= erson (toe) returned to practice on Wednesday. He is expected to be in the = starting lineup on Sunday against New Orleans, but he's too unreliable to u= se Fantasy-wise. Ryan Leaf , QB DAL - Free Agent Updated 10/17/01 Leaf wo= rked with he first team offense during practice on Wednesday. He was fillin= g in for Anthony Wright, who was given the day off to rest his swollen righ= t knee. Leaf will have his chance to win the starting job in Dallas, but he= has no real Fantasy value at this time. Troy Hambrick, RB DAL - Free Ag= ent Updated 10/17/01 Now that Robert Thomas is gone for the year, Hambrick = is expected to become Dallas' starting fullback. He's shown flashes of bril= liance at times, but his value as a Fantasy player is still minimal at this= point. Michael Bennett , RB MIN - Pongo Pack Updated 10/17/01 Bennett is= listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against Green Bay due to a right ankl= e injury. Expect Doug Chapman to get the start, with Travis Prentice servin= g as his backup. Don't use Bennett this week. Randy Moss , WR M! IN! - Pon= go Pack Updated 10/17/01 Moss is listed as questionable for Sunday's game a= gainst Green Bay with a right ankle injury. While we normally tell you to s= tart him every week, this is one matchup we wouldn't activate him for unles= s it becomes completely clear he will start. Shane Matthews , QB CHI - Fre= e Agent Updated 10/17/01 The Bears re-signed Matthews on Tuesday. He return= s to his old backup QB job and isn't worth adding to your Fantasy roster. = Terrell Davis , RB DEN - Mud Dogz Updated 10/17/01 According to published r= eports, Davis would like to return to the lineup Sunday at ! Sa! n Diego. H= e has recovered from a knee injury, and Broncos Head Coach Mike Shanahan wa= nts him to return by November 4. We don't recommend you use Davis this week= , although this development also makes it tough to recommend you start any = Broncos running back. Stacey Mack , RB JAC - Terminators Updated 10/17/01= Mack will get a lot of carries this week but don't expect him to be too pr= oductive. He only gained 17 yards on nine carries in the Jaguars' previous.= Keenan McCardell , WR JAC - Mud Dogz Updated 10/17/01 McCardell struggle= d in his first few games back from injury, but looked like his old self in = the previous game. Look for McCardell to play well this week and catch a lo= t of passes. Sean Dawkins , WR JAC - Free Agent Updated 10/17/01 Dawkins= will have a tough time against Buffalo this week. He will catch of couple = of passes but won't find his way into the end zone. Mark Brunell , QB JAC= - WidowMakers Updated 10/17/01 Brunell is no longer being bothered by head= aches and is expected to play in Week Six. Look for him to throw for over 2= 00 yards and a score. Kyle Brady , TE JAC - Free Agent Updated 10/17/01= Brady is expected to play in this week's game despite a hip injury, and is= listed as probable. He won't be too productive if he does ! pl! ay. Brady = only has five catches this season. Jimmy Smith , WR JAC - Sack Attack Upd= ated 10/17/01 Smith has been very consistent this season. Look for him to c= atch several passes and score a touchdown against Buffalo. Herman Moore , = WR DET - Free Agent Updated 10/17/01 Moore will miss the remainder of the s= eason after tearing a muscle in his hip during Sunday's game at Minnesota. = "We're disappointed the injury is much worse than we thought," Lions Head C= oach Marty Mornhinweg said. "We believed it was a minor pull, but the MRI s= howed a significant tear in the muscle." Drop Moore if he was on your Fanta= sy team. Larry F! os! ter assumes the No. 3 receiver job in Detroit. Tyron= e Wheatley , RB OAK - Swamis Stallions Updated 10/17/01 According to publis= hed reports, Wheatley will miss three to four weeks with a right knee sprai= n. The veteran back was beginning to lose carries to Charlie Garner before = he was hurt. Charlie Garner , RB OAK - Pongo Pack Updated 10/17/01 The Con= tra-Costa Times points out Garner has apparently supplanted Tyrone Wheatley= as the team's "workhorse" back. The trend was apparent before Wheatley was= reported to miss three to four weeks with a knee injury. Travis Henry , = RB BUF - Free Agent Updated 10/17/01 Henry told the Buffalo News he plans t= o have minor surgery on both knees after the season. Henry has tendinitis i= n both knees, but it will not affect him during the regular season. Jay Ri= emersma , TE BUF - Free Agent Updated 10/17/01 The Buffalo News says the Bi= lls want to get Riemersma more involved in the offense now that tackles Jon= as Jennings and John Fina are healthy again. Riemersma was being asked to b= lock more often early in the year, but he will now become more involved in = the passing game. Jerom! e ! Pathon , WR IND - Bloomin Idiots Updated 10/1= 7/01 It is not clear if Pathon (foot) will be able to play this week agains= t the Patriots. Pathon missed Sunday's game against Oakland. Reggie Wayne w= ould start in Pathon's place if he cannot play again. Dedric Ward , WR MIA= - Free Agent Updated 10/17/01 The Miami Herald says Ward had his foor plac= ed in a boot because he had a problem with stress protection. The Dolphins = do not know when he will return. Emmitt Smith , RB DAL - Mud Dogz Updated = 10/17/01 According to the Dallas Morning Star, Smith could end up splitting= more carrie! s ! with Troy Hambrick in the coming weeks. Head Coach Dave C= ampo believes the two backs complement each other very well, and that the m= ove will keep Smith fresh for a longer duration on game day. Stephen Alex= ander , TE WAS - Free Agent Updated 10/17/01 Alexander underwent an MRI on = his injured right ankle Monday, which revealed a high sprain. He is expecte= d to miss at least two weeks of action due to the injury, so be sure to res= erve him if he is still on your roster. Michael Pittman , RB ARI - Free A= gent Updated 10/17/01 Pittman, who suffered a concussion during Sunday's lo= ss to Chicago, is expected to practice on Tuesday. His status for this week= end's game against Kansas City is questionable, but he is expected to play.= Greg Clark, TE SF - Free Agent Updated 10/17/01 Clark went through his m= ost extensive workout since undergoing surgery on his right hamstring three= weeks ago. "It was encouraging," Clark told the Contra Costa Times. "I ran= (a half mile). I never could do any of that before the last surgery (which= removed his semitendonosis tendon). The most I could do was jog two minute= s. It's an amazing difference in comparison." Head Coach Steve Mariucci doe= sn't know when Clark will be healthy enough to make his season debut, howev= er, but he did rule Clark out for their Oct. 28 game against Chicago. Mo= re Updates Player News&n! bs! p;Teams Fightin Farmers Player News - Pro= vided by Commissioner.COM Joey Galloway , Active WR Updated 10/17/01 Gallo= way (ankle) is expected to take this week off from practice in order to res= t his injury. He will be re-evaluated next Monday, at which time his status= for the Oct. 28 game against Arizona will be determined. Rob Johnson , R= eserve QB Updated 10/16/01 Johnson has been listed as probable for Thursday= 's game in Jacksonville despite a neck injury. He hasn't been a reliable Fa= ntasy quarterback all year, and there's no reason to believe that will chan= ge this week. Don't use Johnson. Bill Schroeder , Reserve WR Updated 10/16= /01 Schroeder (ankle) informed Head Coach Mike Sherman that he would be ava= ilable for Sunday's game against Minnesota. Sherman stated that a decision = on Schroeder would not be made until later in the week, but we expect him t= o go. Derrick Alexander , Reserve WR Updated 10/14/01 Alexander overcame = back problems to play against the Steelers, but was held to just one catch = for 10 yards. Injuries and lack of effective complements have rendered Alex= ander a disappointment so far this season. Antonio Freeman , Reserve WR Up= dated 10/14/01 Freeman caught nine passes for 138 yards and TD against Balt= imore. His fine numbers against the AFC's top defense are a clear signal th= at Freeman is still a quality Fantasy wideout, despite his quiet start prio= r to this week. James Allen , Reserve RB Updated 10/14/01 Allen had a soli= d game on Sunday, rushing for 75 yards and a touchdown. However, the perfor= mance is a bit tainted Fantasy-wise since it was against a weak Arizona def= ensive front. Don't expect thos type of numbers from the Bears' tailback on= a weekly basis. Ahman Green , Active RB Updated 10/12/01 Green has been = one of the best backs in the league thus far, but he could struggle against= Baltimore's vaulted defense. If you have a deep group of running backs, yo= u may want to consider reserving the Packers' tailback. Byron Chamberlain= , Reserve TE Updated 10/12/01 Chamberlain has quickly become one of the ke= y weapons in the Vikings' passing game, and he is a reliable weekly Fantasy= starter. Expect another good outing this weekend against Detroit. Trent = Green , Active QB Updated 10/12/01 Green might have another bad week. Pitts= burgh's defense will pressure him often, and the Chiefs will be less effect= ive in the air without the injured Derrick Alexander. Oronde Gadsden , Act= ive WR Updated 10/12/01 Gadsden should find himself in position to catch a = TD pass against the Jets. Miami will score often against the New York defen= se. Mike Anderson , Active RB Updated 10/12/01 Expect excellent numbers fr= om Anderson this week. He always plays well against Seattle, and the Seahaw= ks still lack the talent to stop him from gaining big chunks of yardage as = the game wears on. Jerome Bettis , Active RB Updated 10/11/01 Bettis sat o= ut Wednesday's practice to allow a minor knee injury to heal. He is expecte= d to play in Sunday's game and is listed as probable. Fred Taylor , Reser= ve RB Updated 10/11/01 The Jaguars have ruled Taylor out for their next gam= e against Buffalo on October 18. Taylor is still recovering from the groin = injury he suffered in Week Two. Broncos , Active DT Updated 08/23/01 Defe= nsive tackle Chester McGlockton, who suffered a slight ligament tear in his= knee during Monday's preseason game, is expected to be ready for the start= of the regular season. Denver's defense has the talent to be a solid unit = from a Fantasy perspective, and will be one of the top ten defenses taken o= n Draft Day. Wade Richey , Active K Updated 04/20/01 The Chargers signed = ex-49er placekicker Wade Richey on Wednesday, when the kicker's former team= did not match the offer sheet San Diego tendered last week. With the 24-ye= ar-old Richey in, incumbent kicker John Carney will most likely leave the t= eam. Joe Nedney , Reserve K Updated 03/07/01 The Tennessee Titans on Tues= day reached a contract agreement with Nedney, an unrestricted free agent wh= o played most of the 2000 season with the Carolina Panthers. The five-year = veteran will replace longtime Titans kicker Al Del Greco, who was cut last = week after a poor postseason performance and for salary cap reasons. Nedney= converted 26 of 28 field-goals attempts and all 20 of his extra-point trie= s for 98 points last season. [IMAGE] Copyright 2001 Commissioner.COM Inc= FB10NF =09
