Reserve= Heap on your roster this week. It would be wise to keep him inactive until= he is effective in a game. Jeff Garcia , QB SF - The Guzzlers Updated 10= /18/01 According to published reports, Garcia has been instructed not to pi= ck up a football until the Niners begin practicing again next week. Garcia = is dealing with a sore throwing elbow,! a! s well as a few other nagging bu= mps and bruises. However, he's still expected to start in the 49ers' next g= ame on Oct. 28 against Chicago. Peerless Price , WR BUF - The Lie Downs U= pdated 10/18/01 Price might post respectable numbers against the Jaguars. J= acksonville's secondary is thin because of injuries. Eric Moulds , WR BUF = - Who's Yo Daddy Updated 10/18/01 Moulds might get in the end zone against = Jacksonville. Look for the Bills to move him around often against the injur= y-riddled Jaguars secondary. Larry Centers , RB BUF -! T! he Guzzlers Upda= ted 10/18/01 Centers has been Buffalo's most reliable receiver so far, but = that trend might change against Jacksonville. Buffalo might look to attack = an injury-riddled Jaguars secondary with passes to WR Peerless Price and TE= Jay Riemersma. Drew Bledsoe , QB NE - The Executioners Updated 10/18/01 T= here's a very slim chance Bledsoe will be in uniform as the emergency quart= erback this week . Bledsoe was upgraded from "out" to "doubtful" on the= injury report, but he's lost 15 pounds and hasn't been cleared to run, thr= ow or be hit. He has pedaled a stationary bicycle and probably would just h= and off the ball if Brady and No. 2 quarterback Damon Huard are sidelined. = Bledsoe's progress has been slower than he hoped and there's no timetable= for his return. ! Tyrone Wheatley , RB OAK - One Man Show Updated 10/1= 8/01 Wheatley won't practice during the team's week off and could possibly = miss the next game because of an injured right knee. "Tyrone Wheat= ley has a second degree - I don't know if it's a sprain or a tear - of his = MCL,"' coach Jon Gruden said Wednesday. Gruden called Wheatley questionab= le for the Oct. 28 game at Philadelphia. He said he would learn more about = the injury as the week progressed. He disputed reports that Wheatley woul= d be out four weeks. "I would not agree with that at this time," Gruden s= aid. Chris Weinke , QB CAR - The Lie Downs Updated 10/18/01 Weinke sat = out practice Wednesday and it's uncert! ai! n whether he will play in Washi= ngton on Sunday because of a thigh injury. The injury is more serious than = the Panthers first expected. Seifert said Monday that Weinke had a deep thi= gh bruise, but expected him to practice Wednesday. Seifert said he didn't k= now if Weinke would practice Thursday. Dameyune Craig would start if Weinke= cannot play. Brian Griese , QB DEN - The Nice Machine Updated 10/18/01 G= riese said Wednesday his sore shoulder has improved and he's confident he'l= l play Sunday against San Diego. Griese complained of shoulder soreness a= fter a hit against the Kansas City Chiefs on Oct. 7. The problem was aggrav= ated Sunday when he was slammed to the turf by Seattle Seahawks defensive e= nd Lamar King. Tests Monday showed no structural damage to his shoulder. = Redskins , DT WAS - Free Agent Updated 10/17/01 Cornerback Champ Bailey= missed practice on Wednesday due to a sprai! ne! d ankle, but he's expecte= d to play on Sunday. Fred Smoot (leg), however, is in danger of missing thi= s weekend's contest against Carolina. 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 probable for Sunday's game against Kansas City. H= e hasn't been full speed at practice, however, so don't be surprised if his= status is downgraded over the next two days. Patrick Jeffers , WR CAR - = oops, I did it again Updated 10/17/01 Jeffers (knees) saw extensive work in= practice today and may be ready to play this weekend against New Orleans. = However, Jeffers is too risky to start from a Fantasy perspective. Muhsin= Muhammad , WR CAR - The Nice Machine Updated 10/17/01 Muhammad's ribs are = still sore after taking a few shots during Sunday's game against New Orlean= s. Coach George Seifert expects him to play, but he may be somewhat limited= . Unless his status improves by the end of the week, Fantasy owners may wan= t to consider benching Muhammad if at all possible. Chris Weinke , QB CAR= - The Lie Downs Updated 10/17/01 Weinke missed practice on Wednesday due t= o a thigh injury. However, Head Coach George Seifert expects the rookie qua= rterback to start on Sunday against Washington. If you need a quarterback t= his week, Weinke is a good choice facing a terrible Redskins' defense. ! T= erance Mathis , WR ATL - North Blvd Nutwhackers Updated 10/17/01 Mathis (ha= nd) returned to practice on Wednesday. He is expected to start on Sunday ag= ainst New Orleans, but he's only worth starting in deeper leagues from a Fa= ntasy perspective. Shawn Jefferson , WR ATL - Free Agent Updated 10/17/01= Jefferson (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 use Fantasy-wise. Ryan Leaf , QB DAL - Free Agent Updated 10/17/01! = Leaf worked with he first team offense during practice on Wednesday. He was= filling in for Anthony Wright, who was given the day off to rest his swoll= en right 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 Agent Updated 10/17/01 Now that Robert Thomas is gone for the year, Ha= mbrick is expected to become Dallas' starting fullback. He's shown flashes = of brilliance at times, but his value as a Fantasy player is still minimal = at this point. Michael Bennett , RB MIN - The Fat Bastards Updated 10! /1= ! 7/01 Bennett is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against Green Bay du= e to a right ankle injury. Expect Doug Chapman to get the start, with Travi= s Prentice serving as his backup. Don't use Bennett this week. Randy Moss = , WR MIN - Meximullets Updated 10/17/01 Moss is listed as questionable for = Sunday's game against Green Bay with a right ankle injury. While we normall= y tell you to start him every week, this is one matchup we wouldn't activat= e him for unless it becomes completely clear he will start. Shane Matthews= , QB CHI - Free Agent Updated 10/17/01 The Bears re-signed Matthews on Tue= sday. He returns to his old backup QB job and isn't worth adding to your Fa= ntasy roster. Terrell Davis , RB DEN - Meximullets Updated 10/17/01 Accord= ing to published reports, Davis would like to return to the lineup Sunday a= t San Diego. He has recovered from a knee injury, and Broncos Head Coach Mi= ke Shanahan wants him to return by November 4. We don't recommend you use D= avis this week, although this development also makes it tough to recommend = you start any Broncos running back. Stacey Mack , RB JAC - Thrill Kill Cul= t Updated 10/17/01 Mack will get a lot of carries this week but don't expe= ct him to be too productive. He only gained 17 yards on nine carries in the= Jaguars' previous. Keenan McCardell , WR JAC - One Man Show Updated 10/1= 7/01 McCardell struggled in his first few games back from injury, but looke= d like his old self in the previous game. Look for McCardell to play well t= his week and catch a lot of passes. Sean Dawkins , WR JAC - Free Agent U= pdated 10/17/01 Dawkins will have a tough time against Buffalo this week. H= e will catch of couple of passes but won't! f! ind his way into the end zon= e. Mark Brunell , QB JAC - The Nice Machine Updated 10/17/01 Brunell is n= o longer being bothered by headaches and is expected to play in Week Six. L= ook for him to throw for over 200 yards and a score. Kyle Brady , TE JA= C - One Man Show 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 produ= ctive if he does play. Brady only has five catches this season. Jimmy Smi= th , WR JAC - North Blvd Nutwhackers Updated 10/17/01 Smith has been very c= onsistent this season. Look for him to catch several passes and score a tou= chdown against Buffalo. Herman Moore , WR DET - Free Agent Updated 10/17/0= 1 Moore will miss the remainder of the season after tearing a muscle in his= hip during Sunday's game at Minnesota. "We're disappointed the injury is m= uch worse than we thought," Lions Head Coach Marty Mornhinweg said. "We bel= ieved it was a minor pull, but the MRI showed a significant tear in the mus= cle." Drop Moore if he was on your Fantasy team. Larry Foster assumes the N= o. 3 receiver job in Detroit. ! Ty! rone Wheatley , RB OAK - One Man Show = Updated 10/17/01 According to published reports, Wheatley will miss three t= o four weeks with a right knee sprain. The veteran back was beginning to lo= se carries to Charlie Garner before he was hurt.
