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 - Hardtail Amigos 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 - Free Agent 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 - McKay 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.

Emmitt Smith, RB DAL - Pink Panthers Updated 12/26/01
Smith is day to day with a hip injury. He is expected to play this week.

Peter Warrick, WR CIN - Free Agent 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 - Pink Panthers 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 - TayDang 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 - Free Agent 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 - Hardtail Amigos 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 - Fear Updated 12/26/01
Smith (ankles) has returned to practice. He is expected to play this week.

Raghib Ismail, WR DAL - Pink Panthers 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 - The Rocks 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 - Hardtail Amigos 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 - Pink Panthers 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 - TexOK 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 - Free Agent 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 to c! om! plications of a collapsed lung.

Antowain Smith, RB NE - Pink Panthers 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 - McKay 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 - Fear 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.

Joey Galloway, Active WR Updated 12/26/01
Galloway is day to day with a hip injury. He is expected to play this week.

Marshall Faulk, Active RB Updated 12/21/01
Faulk has a minor knee problem. He is listed as probable for this week's game.

Hines Ward, Reserve WR Updated 12/21/01
Ward hasn't scored a lot of touchdowns this season but is among the league leaders in receptions. He should be an asset to your team for the rest of the season as a No. 2 wideout.

Peerless Price, Reserve WR Updated 12/21/01
Price (ankle) returned to practice on Thursday. He is expected to play this week.

Charlie Garner, Active RB Updated 12/16/01
Garner had 113 scrimmage yards against San Diego on Saturday. He was held out of the end zone for the third straight week, however, and has only scored two touchdowns the entire season.

Peyton Manning, Active QB Updated 12/16/01
Manning got back on track with 325 passing yards, three TDs and an interception against the Colts. He remains a must-start player in all Fantasy leagues.

Tiki Barber, Reserve RB Updated 12/16/01
Barber compiled 130 scrimmage yards against Arizona, but he was held out of the end zone. Barber will continue to be a focal point of the Giants' offense, however, and will be a valuable player to have during the Fantasy playoffs.

Germane Crowell, Active WR Updated 10/24/01
The Detroit Lions placed Crowell on injured reserve on Tuesday with a torn patella tendon in his left knee, which ends his season.

Jaguars, Active DT Updated 09/23/01
Jacksonville's defense was solid once again, holding the Tennessee Titans to just six points on Sunday. They've allowed a total of nine points in their first two games of the season, and are worth picking up should they still be available in your league.

Chargers, Reserve DT Updated 08/19/01
Defensive end Marcellus Wiley missed Saturday's game against the Miami Dolphins due to a sore hamstring. Defensive tackle Jamal Williams suffered a sprained knee in the game and could miss up to three weeks, and cornerback Alex Molden sustained a slight groin injury. None of these injuries are considered serious. San Diego made some improvements to their defensive unit during the offseason, and might be worth using when your starting defense has a bye week.

Carl Pickens, Active WR Updated 05/30/01
Weakened by a chronic hamstring problem that was showing no improvement over the offseason, Pickens has decided to retire after eight NFL seasons. Pickens, 31, signed a one-year, $500,000 contract earlier this spring with the Dallas Cowboys. But, after missing all of the minicamps and visiting with noted Birmingham, Ala., orthopedist James Andrews he decided to end his career.

Troy Aikman, Reserve QB Updated 04/09/01
Aikman has decided to retire. Two sources close to Aikman said the 12-year veteran, released by the Cowboys last month, will officially announce his retirement at a Monday afternoon news conference.

Brett Conway, Active K Updated 12/22/00
Head Coach Al Groh won't make a decision until Sunday, but a source close to the Jets says that Groh is leaning towards using Conway for placekicking and Hall for kickoffs. Either way, Fantasy owners should avoid using either of the Jets' kickers in their final week of the season.
