Latest NFL Player News Jermaine Lewis , WR BAL - Free Agent Updated 11/09/00 With Travis Taylor now out for the season, expect Lewis to line up as the second wideout along with Qadry Ismail. Lewis assumed that spot in last Sunday's game against Cincinnati and caught four passes for 25 yards. He needs to perform well over the season's final weeks to be in the Ravens' receiving picture for 2001. Marcus Pollard , TE IND - Free Agent Updated 11/09/00 Pollard put up decent numbers in Sunday's game at Soldier Field against the Bears. He caught three passes for 42 yards in the Colts' 27-24 loss. E.G. Green , WR IND - Free Agent Updated 11/09/00 In his first game back in seven weeks, Green pulled in five passes for 45 yards in Sunday's loss to the Bears. He may see some increased playing time in the offense, and could even spend some time as the Colts' number two receiver in the offense. Jerome Pathon , WR IND - Free Agent Updated 11/09/00 In his first productive game in weeks, Pathon caught three passes for 58 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's loss to the Bears. Pathon may see more looks in the offense in the coming weeks, as Head Coach Jim Mora looks to spread the ball around a bit more through the air. Ken Dilger , TE IND - Thrill Kill Cult Updated 11/09/00 Dilger posted his second consecutive good outing for the Colts this weekend, catching five passes for 66 yards in the Colts' 27-24 loss to the Bears at Soldier Field. He now has 36 receptions for 441 yards and three touchdowns on the season. Edgerrin James , RB IND - The Fat Bastards Updated 11/09/00 James complied 117 yards of total offense and scored two touchdowns in last Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Bears. He is now second in the league with 13 touchdowns, one behind the Rams' Marshall Faulk. He could very well surpass Faulk this week against the Jets - he has scored at least one touchdown in each of his last four games. Steve Christie , K BUF - Free Agent Updated 11/09/00 Christie kicked his second consecutive game-winning field goal for the Bills this week in New England. He hit on a 48-yarder in the fourth quarter to send the game to overtime, then sealed the win with a 32-yard boot in the extra session. He kicked three field goals in all, and is now 20-of-23 in field goal attempts on the season. Jeremy McDaniel , WR BUF - FDIC Updated 11/09/00 McDaniel caught only one pass for 24 yards in Sunday's game against the Patriots. In spite of the poor performance, McDaniel is still second on the team in both receptions (27) and receiving yards (443). Peerless Price , WR BUF - The Rounders Updated 11/09/00 Price caught three passes for 36 yards in Sunday's win against the Patriots. Although he is on pace to improve on all of his numbers from a year ago, Price has been a bust as far as Fantasy owners are concerned. Jay Riemersma , TE BUF - Mean Machine Updated 11/09/00 The Bills' tight end had a solid Fantasy performance on Sunday, catching six passes for 49 yards and a touchdown. Riemersma has historically had good success when Doug Flutie starts for the Bills, so keeping him in the lineup this week may be a good idea. Antowain Smith , RB BUF - Free Agent Updated 11/09/00 Smith saw his first action in the last six weeks, but got only three carries for 13 yards in Sunday's game at Foxboro. He won't get much playing time for the rest of the year, and will likely look to leave Buffalo at the end of the season. Shawn Bryson , RB BUF - Meximullets Updated 11/09/00 Bryson got the majority of the carries in Sunday's game against New England. He ran the ball 13 times for 60 yards in Buffalo's 16-13 overtime victory. Corey Bradford , WR GB - Free Agent Updated 11/09/00 Bradford isn't expected to play Sunday against Tampa Bay after injuring the quadriceps muscle near his right knee. The Packers will probably sit Bradford and give him time to rest. He is just getting in shape after missing seven games this season because of a broken leg. Donald Driver will probably take his place as the third receiver. Ahman Green , RB GB - Ramiro Updated 11/09/00 Dorsey Levens had arthropscopic surgery on his injured knee Tuesday so Green will likely be the starting back for the rest of the season. He has played well in 2000 gaining 474 yards and scoring four touchdowns. Green still has a penchant for fumbling, and has done so three times this season, but he managed to hold on to the ball in a rainy game vs. Minnesota Monday. Titans , DT TEN - Fear Updated 11/09/00 It's highly likely that Tennessee's defense is on a roster in every Fantasy league, but you might want to look into acquiring it in a trade for the remainder of the season. The Titans' D has four games against some of the league's youngest quarterbacks over its final seven games - Spergon Wynn of Cleveland twice, and Akili Smith of Cincinnati and Donovan McNabb of Philadelphia once. Desmond Howard , WR DET - Free Agent Updated 11/09/00 Howard is expected to play in Sunday's game against Atlanta. He sat out last week's matchup against the Dolphins due to a neck injury. Derrick Mason , WR TEN - The Snake Pit Updated 11/09/00 Receiver and kick returner Mason practiced yesterday despite suffering from ankle and back injuries. He is listed as questionable on the Titans' injury report for Sunday's game against Baltimore. Chris Sanders , WR TEN - Free Agent Updated 11/09/00 Sanders was able to practice with the Titans yesterday, and didn't appear to be suffering from any effects from a rib cartilage strain that knocked him from last Sunday's game against Pittsburgh. Tennessee will rely on him if Carl Pickens or Yancey Thigpen can't play Sunday against Baltimore. Paul Edinger , K CHI - Free Agent Updated 11/09/00 Edinger is finally beginning to settle into the job as the Bears' placekicker. He made 4-of-8 field goals to start the season but has connected on his last seven field-goal attempts, including kicks of 41 and 37 yards last Sunday. Edinger is now 11-of-15 for the season, including 4-of-7 from beyond the 40. Yancey Thigpen , WR TEN - The Rounders Updated 11/09/00 Thigpen got a second opinion Tuesday about his injured left ankle, which confirmed that he has a condition that will hamper him for the rest of the season. He received an injection and was able to practice comfortably yesterday, and looks to be on the mend. We'll keep tabs on Thigpen's status for Sunday's game against Baltimore. Marcus Robinson , WR CHI - Meximullets Updated 11/09/00 Robinson is on the verge of surpassing 1,000 receiving yards for the second consecutive season. Robinson has made seven of the Bears' eight longest plays from scrimmage this season, including all five of his touchdown receptions. He has catches of 68, 58, 55 and 48 yards from Cade McNown and a 34-yard TD pass from Jim Miller. Carl Pickens , WR TEN - The Fat Bastards Updated 11/09/00 Pickens missed yesterday's practice with his hamstring injury, and the Titans are taking a wait-and-see attitude towards his status. He is still sore and appears unlikely to post good numbers even if he does play. Eddie George , RB TEN - Fear Updated 11/09/00 Although George was unable to practice yesterday due to a toe injury, Coach Jeff Fisher says he would have participated some had the session been conducted on grass instead of artificial turf. George is expected to play Sunday against Baltimore, although keep in mind that the Ravens have the NFL's top-ranked rush defense. Scott Dragos , RB CHI - Free Agent Updated 11/09/00 Dragos is still suffering from an injured quadriceps and is questionable for Sunday's game at Buffalo. He played a major role as a blocker for James Allen when Curtis Enis was inactive. With Enis back the Bears don't need Dragos as much for blocking but may use him as their long snapper. Regular long snapper Pat Mannelly has an injured elbow and is questionable for Sunday's game as well. Jimmy Smith , WR JAC - Murder Inc. Updated 11/09/00 Smith was limited in practice because of his hamstring and knee injuries, but he will return to action Sunday against Seattle. Smith missed Jacksonville's last game October 29 against Dallas, but was able to rest over the bye week last week. Cade McNown , QB CHI - Free Agent Updated 11/09/00 McNown is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game at Buffalo. Head coach Dick Jauron said that McNown may be used as the emergency QB if his seperated left shoulder continues to improve this week. Jaguars , DT JAC - The Snake Pit Updated 11/09/00 The Jaguars will be without linebacker Hardy Nickerson, who underwent arthroscopic knee surgery last Friday, for Sunday's game against Seattle. Linebackers Lonnie Marts and Brant Boyer, both suffering from groin injuries, are listed as questionable on the injury report. Eric Storz and Kevin Hardy would be the likely replacements if neither can play. Defensive end Renaldo Wynn practiced yesterday and may return to action Sunday after missing four games with a torn MCL in his right knee. Defensive tackle Gary Walker will play after missing Jacksonville's last game against Dallas October 29. Derek Brown , TE ARI - Free Agent Updated 11/09/00 The Cardinals re-signed Brown on Wednesday after tight end Jay Tant was lost for the season with a torn ACL. Brown had played for the Cardinals since 1992 but was cut before the start of this season. Jay Tant , TE ARI - Free Agent Updated 11/09/00 Tant tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee during last Sunday's 16-15 win against the Redskins. He will miss the remainder of the season. David Patten , WR CLE - Free Agent Updated 11/09/00 Patten, who has played sparingly the past three weeks with a turf toe injury, is listed as doubtful on the Browns' injury report. He missed practice yesterday and is unlikely to make any Fantasy impact Sunday against New England. More Updates Transactions?NFL Reports?
