Latest NFL Player News

Amos Zereoue, RB PIT - Texas Terminators Updated 12/19/01
Zereoue is listed as questionable this week because of a sore shoulder. He might start at RB if healthy. He replaced Chris Fuamatu-Ma?afala and gained 73 yards Sunday.

Jerome Bettis, RB PIT - Blue Balls Updated 12/19/01
The Pittsburgh Steelers may be without Bettis for at least one more week. Two days after coach Bill Cowher said Bettis was likely to play Sunday against Detroit, the running back was listed Tu! es! day as doubtful with a groin injury. "But this is not a Fred Taylor injury. He (Bettis) will come back and play this year. But we've got to be very careful making sure he's playing in the right games." Keep Bettis on your bench this week. His health status makes him too risky a player. Chris Fuamatu-Ma'afala will likely start for Bettis.

Skip Hicks, RB TEN - Free Agent Updated 12/18/01
Titans Head Coach Jeff Fisher said Monday that he plans to give Hicks more work over the final three games of the season, according to the Nashville Tennessean . "We're going to play Skip more," Fisher said. "We're going to play Skip, if at all possible, as much as he played [Sunday] night ? But I also want to get Eddie [George] 1,000 yards.'' This development will limit George's production over the final three weeks, making him a risky start.

Steve McNair, QB TEN - Houston Big Ballers Updated 12/18/01
McNair will miss Tuesday's practice due to tightness in his lower back which hampered him during Sunday's game against Green Bay. The injury is unrelated to his 1999 surgery to repair a disc in his lower back, and he should return to practice on Wednesday. Provided McNair heals over the next couple of days, he's a safe start for Week 15.

Amos Zereoue, RB PIT - Texas Terminators Updated 12/18/01
Zereoue re-injured his sprained shoulder late in Sunday's game against Baltimore. His status for next Sunday's game against Detroit is unclear, but he's only a marginal starter in deeper leagues anyway.

Gus Frerotte, QB DEN - Really Rottens Updated 12/18/01
The Broncos are likely to place Frerotte on injured reserve due to a separated shoulder which might require surgery. Brian Griese will probably start for the remainder of the season, with Jarious Jackson serving as his backup.

James Jackson, RB CLE - Uran Man Updated 12/18/01
According to the Cleveland Plain Dealer, Jackson could miss the remainder of the season due to a sprained ankle. He wasn't a reliable weekly starter during the Fantasy playoffs to begin with, and Benjamin Gay and Jamel White, who are less reliable starters, are likely to split time the rest of the way if Jackson is out.

Corey Dillon, RB CIN - Texas Terminators Updated 12/18/01
Dillon's dislocated finger has improved, and he should be fine for this week. He is listed as probable for Sunday's game ag! ai! nst Baltimore. Don't reserve him based on this injury, and only consider benching him based on the Ravens' strong rush defense.

Scott Mitchell, QB CIN - Free Agent Updated 12/18/01
Mitchell could get the start Sunday against Baltimore due to Jon Kitna's strained ligament in the middle finger of his throwing hand. Whether Mitchell or Kitna gets the call, we don't expect either QB to be worth starting in the most important weeks of the Fantasy season.

Akili Smith, QB CIN - Free Agent Updated 12/18/01
The Bengals placed Smith on injured reserve with a hamstring injury Tuesday, officially ending his season. He will likely need surgery to reattach the muscle group in his hamstring to the bone. Jon Kitna will probably start in his place the rest of the season if he's healthy, but we don't recommend any Cincinnati quarterback the rest of the year anyway.

Terry Allen, RB BAL - Texas Terminators Updated 12/18/01
The Ravens are likely to feature one running back Sunday against Cincinnati after Allen, Moe Williams and Obafemi Ayanbadejo combined for just 10 carries for 40 yards in Week 14. Allen is the likely starter of the three after he recovered from a hand injury. None of the three is a worthy starter in a Fantasy league regardless of whether he starts.

Doug Flutie, QB SD - President Taft Updated 12/18/01
Chargers Head Coach Mike Riley said Monday that he plans to start Flutie Sunday against Kansas City instead of rookie Drew Brees. While Brees is not expected to play, he may see some playing time in the Week 16 finale against Seattle. Flutie is a very risky player during the Fantasy playoffs, especially in light of the possibility he could sit in favor of Brees at any time.

Priest Holmes, RB KC - Houston Big Ballers Updated 12/18/01
Holmes is likely to skip practice Wednesday and possibly Thursday due to a sore groin muscle. He is no worse than questionable for Sunday's game against San Diego at this point, but keep an eye on his status before you consider using him this week.

Bert Emanuel, WR DET - Blue Balls Updated 12/18/01
Emanuel (knee) could be back in the starting lineup this week against Pittsburgh. He will be re-evaluated this week to determine his true status for the game.

Santana Moss, WR NYJ - Grid Iron Goons Updated 12/18/01
Moss, still suffering f! ro! m a strained quadriceps is listed as questionable for Sunday's game. The injury has sidelined him the past few weeks.

Stephen Davis, RB WAS - Houston Big Ballers Updated 12/18/01
Davis suffered a knee injury during Sunday's loss to Philadelphia. "He's sore today, but he has indicated he'll be fine," Coach Marty Schottenheimer told the Washington Post. Despite the injury, Davis is expected to start against Chicago in Week 15.

Tony Banks, QB WAS - Free Agent Updated 12/18/01
According to the Washington Post , Banks will remain the Redskins' starting quarterback. Banks has been very inconsistent recently, but Coach Marty Schottemheimer is expected to stick with him rather than go with backup Kent Graham.

Frank Murphy, WR TB - Free Agent Updated 12/18/01
Murphy suffered a severely sprained ankle during Sunday's loss to Chicago. The injury will likely keep him out of this weekend's game against New Orleans.

Buccaneers, DT TB - DRock's Beaatchs Updated 12/18/01
DT Warren Sapp (shoulder) and CB Ronde Barber (hamstring) were both injured dur! in! g Sunday's loss to Chicago. They will be limited in practice this week, but should be available for Week 15.

Todd Bouman, QB MIN - Free Agent Updated 12/18/01
Bouman strained a ligament on the palm side of the thumb during the Vikings' 27-24 loss Sunday at Detroit. He will be listed as probable for Week 15, but Bouman said he isn't sure he'll be ready in time for Sunday's game vs. Jacksonville. Third-stringer Spergon Wynn would get the start if Bouman is unable to play.

Daunte Culpepper, QB MIN - DRock's Beaatchs Updated 12/18/01
! Ac! cording to the Minneapolis Star Tribune, Culpepper will have surgery on his left knee this week, possibly as early as Wednesday. There is an outside chance that he could play in Minnesota's season finale against Baltimore, but that seems unlikely at this point.

Bubba Franks, TE GB - President Taft Updated 12/18/01
Franks suffered a mild ankle sprain during Sunday's loss to Tennessee. The injury isn't serious, however, so Franks will be in the starting lineup in Week 15 against Cleveland.

Larry Foster, WR DET - Free Agent Updated 12/18/01
Fo! st! er suffered a knee injury during Sunday's game against Minnesota. The extent of the injury is still unclear, so the team doesn't expect to know his status for Week 15 until Wednesday.

James Stewart, RB DET - Orange Roughy Updated 12/18/01
Stewart suffered a slight hip pointer during Sunday's game against Minnesota. The injury isn't considered serious, so look for Stewart to be in the starting lineup on Sunday against Pittsburgh.

Wesley Walls, TE CAR - Team Chick Updated 12/18/01
Walls missed practice on Monday due to an ankle injury. However, Head Coach George Seifert expects his veteran tight end to be available for Sunday's game against St. Louis.

Muhsin Muhammad, WR CAR - Free Agent Updated 12/18/01
Muhammad is dealing with a slight case of turf toe, which caused him to miss practice on Monday. However, Coach George Seifert expects his veteran wideout to start this weekend against St. Louis.

MarTay Jenkins, WR ARI - Free Agent Updated 12/18/01
Jenkins suffered a sprained ankle in the second half of Satu! rd! ay's game against the N.Y. Giants. He was still very sore on Monday, so his status for Sunday's game vs. Dallas won't be known until later in the week.

Bill Gramatica, K ARI - Free Agent Updated 12/18/01
According to the Arizona Republic, Gramatica will miss nine months after tearing the anterior cruciate ligament and medial meniscus cartilage in his right knee while celebrating a 42-yard field goal on Saturday against the New York Giants. The Cardinals will audition both Cedrick Oglesby and Vitaly Pisetsky on Tuesday to take Gramatica's place as the team's placekicker.

Peerless Price , WR BUF - DRock's Beaatchs Updated 12/18/01
Price's ankle is still stiff and sore. Head coach Gregg Williams will evaluate him on a daily basis, according to published reports.

Jeff Garcia, QB SF - C-Dawg's Boyz Updated 12/17/01
Garcia has sprained cartilage in his ribcage, but he shouldn't miss his next start for the San Francisco 49ers. X-rays revealed no broken bones. Monday, coach Steve Mariucci said Garcia might miss some practice before Saturday's game against Philadelphia, but he expects the quarterback to play.
