To customi= ze, reschedule, or turn off these reports please click here NFL Reports= , Player Updates [IMAGE]Latest NFL Player News Tony Martin , WR ATL - Fre= e Agent Updated 11/21/01 Martin hasn't been a reliable Fantasy player at al= l this season, but he could have a decent outing against Carolina. The Pant= hers secondary is one of the worst in the league, so starting Martin in dee= per Fantasy leagues may be worth considering. Frank Sanders , WR ARI - Fr= ee Agent Updated 11/21/01 Sanders is dealing with two tight hamstrings, but= he's expected to play on Sunday against San Diego. The Chargers' secondary= ! h! asn't been playing well of late, so giving Sanders some consideration = in deeper leagues is advisable. David Boston , WR ARI - Bass/Hull Updated= 11/21/01 Boston has become one of the premier wide receivers in Fantasy Fo= otball. He's posted three touchdowns and 217 yards receiving in his last tw= o games, and should have another solid game vs. San Diego in Week 11. Tom= Brady , QB NE - Martin Updated 11/21/01 Patriots Head Coach Bill Belichick= announced late Monday that Brady will remain the starting quarterback for = the remainder of the season, barring injury. This relegates Drew Bledsoe to= a backup role and makes him useless from a Fantasy perspective. Brady migh= t have his hands full passing against the Saints on Sunday, but he is a fai= rly safe weekly starter otherwise. Dolphins , DT MIA - Martin Updated 11/= 21/01 Defensive tackle Daryl Gardener could miss the remainder of the seaso= n due to a fragmented disc in his back. He will miss at least one month to = rest and rehabilitate the injury before being re-evaluated. Gardener's abse= nce hurts the Dolphins' rush defense, which might be burned a little more b= y opposing running backs in the upcoming weeks.! Marvin Minnis , WR KC - = Free Agent Updated 11/21/01 Minnis is unlikely to be available for Sunday's= game against Seattle due to the sprained ankle he suffered during a Nov. 1= 1 game against the Jets. He will be replaced by Chris Thomas in the lineup = at split end, and you should keep him reserved for this week. Mark Brunell= , QB JAC - JWillie Updated 11/21/01 Brunell's nagging leg injury might sid= eline him for Sunday's game against Baltimore. He decided about two hours b= efore last Sunday's kickoff that he couldn't play against Pittsburgh due to= a strained right quadriceps. Jonathan Quinn has been preparing as if he wi= ll start the game, so right now you shouldn't count on Brunell this week as= you set your lineups. Fred Taylor , RB JAC - Martin Updated 11/21/01 Tayl= or received a second medical opinion Tuesday that indicated his severe groi= n injury could keep him out up to three months and possibly the remainder o= f the season, according to the Florida Times-Union. The diagnosis was that = the injury still has not healed and will need more time to become healthy, = and in the meantime Taylor has developed pain! i! n his hip, a side effect = of the injury. It's sounding more and more like Taylor will not play again = this Fantasy season, although you should probably hold onto him until a fin= al decision is reached, provided you have a deep enough bench. Rod Smith ,= WR DEN - Matty Updated 11/21/01 Smith's sprained ankle was not healed enou= gh for him to practice on Tuesday, and there is a real chance he might miss= Thursday's game against Dallas. He suffered the injury Nov. 11, and aggrav= ated it during Sunday's game. You should probably play it safe and keep Smi= th on your bench for this week. Temper your expectations for the entire Bro= ncos' offense as well - the Cowboys' D isn't the pushover many believed it = would be prior to the season. Shaun Alexander , RB SEA - JWillie Updated 1= 1/20/01 With Ricky Watters expected to miss another two to three weeks, Ale= xander will remain the focal point of many contending Fantasy teams during = their charge to the playoffs. He should roll up some fine numbers against t= he Chiefs this week. Tom Brady , QB NE - Martin Updated 11/20/01 The Patri= ots will stick with Brady for now, and Drew Bledsoe will remain the team's = No. 2 QB. "I don't see any changes this week," coach Bill Belichick said. B= rady is a solid Fantasy starter right now, but add Bledsoe to you! r ! rost= er as an insurance policy if you can. Jonathan Quinn , QB JAC - Free Agent= Updated 11/20/01 Quinn may have to start in place of Mark Brunell (quadric= eps) again this week. Brunell's status is still unclear for Sunday's game. = Ricky Watters , RB SEA - Free Agent Updated 11/20/01 Watters' shoulder has= not sufficiently healed enough for him to practice, says the Seattle Times= . He is not expected to return for another two to three weeks, meaning Sha= un Alexander will continue to be a key performer for many Fantasy teams as = the postseason comes into view. Doug Flutie , QB SD - Russell Updated 11/2= 0/01 Mike Riley told the San Diego Union-Tribune there is no QB controversy= involving Flutie and rookie Drew Brees. "Doug is going to be our quarterba= ck," he said. "You can talk about controversy all you want, but there is no= ne within this building. He is our quarterback. He will start. He will get = us the next win the next week." Still, Flutie is not playing well enought t= o satisfy most Fantasy owners. Mark Bruener , TE PIT - Free Agent Updated = 11/20/01 Bruener will miss the rest of the season after undergoing shoulder= injury. His loss may adversely affect Jerome Bettis' statistics, because B= ruener is widely regarded as the best run-blocking tight end in football. = Tyrone Wheatley , RB OAK - Giggles Updated 11/20/01 Wheatley told the Contr= a-Costa Times he is no longer being bothered by a knee injury. He expects t= o play on Sunday. Erron Kinney , TE TEN - Free Agent Updated 11/20/01 Kinn= ey (calf) may play this week after missing three games. He was expected to = return to practice early this week. Frank Wycheck , TE TEN - Matty Updated= 11/20/01 Wycheck (calf) will be limited in practice this week. He may be a= risky start in Week 11. Steve McNair , QB TEN - Free Agent Updated 11/20/= 01 The Tennessean says McNair's hand was sore when he arrived at the team's= practice facility on Monday. Jeff Fisher now says he doesn't expect him to= miss any practice time this week. Derrick Alexander , WR KC - JWillie Up= dated 11/20/01 Alexander (ribs) has returned to practice. He is expected to= start against Seattle. Marvin Minnis , WR KC - Free Agent Updated 11/20/0= 1 Minnis (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game. Larry Parker may = have to start in his place, Reggie Wayne , WR IND - Free Agent Updated 11/= 20/01 Wayne has a sprained knee ligament, and is doubtful for Sunday's game= against New Orleans. Terrence Wilkins may have to start in his place. Jer= ome Pathon , WR IND - Tori Updated 11/20/01 Pathon (foot) is done for the s= eason. He will be put on injured reserve. Reggie Wayne (knee) is also hurti= ng, meaning Terrence Wilkins might have to be moved back into the starting = lineup. Jay Fiedler , QB MIA - Tori Updated 11/20/01 Dave Wannstedt told = the Miami Herald there is no QB controversy surrounding Fielder and backup = Ra! y ! right now. ``That's kind of hypothetical,'' he said. ``Jay is the s= tarter, and my only comment is we're going to get it squared away and play = turnover-free football.'' Rod Smith , WR DEN - Matty Updated 11/20/01 Mike= Shanahan said he does not know if Smith (ankle) will be sufficiently heale= d to play in Thursday's game against the Cowboys. "We'll get a chance to ev= aluate that during the week and see," Shanahan told the Denver Post. "If he= can help our football team, he'll play. If he's in a situation where he ca= n't perform at the level that we think can help our team, then we'll keep h= im out and put somebody else in." Benjamin Gay , RB CLE - Free Agent Upda= ted 11/20/01 The Cleveland Plain-Dealer says Butch Davis won't indicate how= much Gay will play in the near future. "We'll try to get him involved in s= ome of the games," Davis said. "We'll see." Kevin Lockett , WR WAS - Free= Agent Updated 11/20/01 Lockett, who suffered a rib injury last weekend aga= inst Denver, expects to play on Sunday against Philadelphia. However, the w= ide receiver has no real value as a Fantasy player at this point. Tony Ba= nks , QB WAS - Free Agent U! pd! ated 11/20/01 Barring any setbacks, Banks = will start Sunday's game against Philadelphia. Banks, who suffered a concus= sion last weekend vs. Denver, hasn't been feeling any after effects of the = injury and should be under center for the 'Skins. Jacquez Green , WR TB -= Free Agent Updated 11/20/01 Green (abdomen) is expected to return to pract= ice on Wednesday at full strength. He's been inconsistent this season, and = is best used when the matchup is favorable. Terrell Owens , WR SF - Marti= n Updated 11/20/01 Owens suffered a sprained left knee and ankle during the= overtime session of last weekend's game against Carolina. The injuries are= n't considered serious, however, and Owens is expected to be in the startin= g lineup on Sunday Indianapolis.
