Latest NFL Player News Brian Griese , QB DEN - Fear Updated 12/11/00 Griese is expected to play in the Broncos' regular-season finale. Coach Mike Shanahan said Monday that Griese has a "realistic chance" of returning to the lineup against San Francisco on Dec. 23. Fantasy owners should look elsehwere for a Fantasy QB. Griese hasn't played in almost a month. A player with such a layoff is a high-risk for your Fantasy team. Jackie Harris , TE DAL - Free Agent Updated 12/11/00 Harris caught only two passes for 20 yards against Washington, numbers that have more or less become his norm this season. He is far too inconsistent to be considered a starter, so avoid playing Harris if at all possible. Irving Fryar , WR WAS - Free Agent Updated 12/11/00 Since Albert Connell's playing time has been limited due to injury, Fryar has posted decent numbers for the 'Skins. He caught three passes for 56 yards and a touchdown against Dallas, and now has a score in three of his last four games. Although he isn't a solid starter, Fryar could still be useful to Fantasy owners in deeper leagues. Bobby Shaw , WR PIT - Free Agent Updated 12/11/00 Shaw led the Steelers with 88 yards on six receptions, with one of them going for a touchdown. However, his performance was deceiving, as he also dropped two other key passes. Keep that in mind as he prepares to go up against Washington next Sunday, as the Steelers might not go to him as much as a result. James Thrash , WR WAS - Free Agent Updated 12/11/00 Thrash caught five passes for 62 yards in Washington's 32-13 loss to the Cowboys on Sunday. Thrash has been Jeff George's favorite target this season, so he is an interesting commodity at this point in the season. If your league uses three starting wideouts, considering making Thrash your number three man. Will Blackwell , WR PIT - Free Agent Updated 12/11/00 Blackwell made his first two catches, which went for 23 yards total, in more than a year during Sunday's game against the Giants. He played two games prior without a reception after missing the first 11 games of the season by being on the physically unable to perform list after knee surgery. Don't take this as a sign of things to come for Blackwell; he's a marginal receiver over the final two games. Wane McGarity , WR DAL - Free Agent Updated 12/11/00 McGarity was held without a catch but scored on reverse in Dallas' 32-13 win over Washington. He has no Fantasy value at this point of the season. Jason Tucker , WR DAL - Free Agent Updated 12/11/00 Tucker was held without a catch against the Redskins on Sunday, but did run a 17-yard reverse for a touchdown. The young Dallas receiver has no Fantasy value at this point in the season. Kris Brown , K PIT - Free Agent Updated 12/11/00 Brown missed two field goals during Sunday's game against the Giants. He missed tries from 36 and 44 yards out, marking the first time in his two-year career that he has missed multiple field goal attempts in one game. Don't start Brown during your Fantasy playoffs. Albert Connell , WR WAS - Hunter Shively Updated 12/11/00 Connell was held without a catch in minimal playing time against the Cowboys. He has only 13 catches in his last six games, and is still being bothered by a knee injury. Avoid starting Connell at this crucial point in your Fantasy season. Anthony Johnson , RB JAC - Free Agent Updated 12/11/00 Johnson suffered a sprained toe late in Sunday's game against Arizona. He rushed for 39 yards on 13 carries after relieving Fred Taylor. Johnson was walking with a limp after the game and is unsure whether he will be able to play next Sunday against Cincinnati. James McKnight , WR DAL - Baja Updated 12/11/00 McKnight was the only Dallas wideout to catch a pass on Sunday, hauling in two balls for 58 yards against the Redskins. With the Cowboys' quarterback situation up in the air, avoiding all of Dallas' receivers is a good idea. R.Jay Soward , WR JAC - Free Agent Updated 12/11/00 The Jaguars suspended Soward for Sunday's game against Arizona, and several team sources said it was due to his missing a team meeting. He has made several similar violations and was demoted to the No. 3 receiver during a October 22 loss. Don't count on any Fantasy numbers from Soward the remainder of the season. Larry Centers , RB WAS - Free Agent Updated 12/11/00 In his typical role out of the backfield, Centers caught five passes for 54 yards in Sunday's loss to the Cowboys. At this point in the season, Centers' Fantasy value is minimal at best, so starting him now is a huge risk. Jaguars , DT JAC - The Klap Updated 12/11/00 Jacksonville's defense posted a solid outing Sunday against Arizona, allowing just 10 points and 189 net yards. Brant Boyer helped lead the Jaguars' D to an interception and four sacks on the day. The performance by this unit has been among the league's best in recent weeks, despite a rash of injuries. We expect more solid numbers as Jacksonville takes on Cincinnati next week, so look to this unit during your playoffs. Michael Wiley , RB DAL - Free Agent Updated 12/11/00 In his first game as Dallas' third down back, Wiley ran for 38 yards on 11 carries. The rookie from Ohio State will see more playing time in the weeks to come, but doesn't have any Fantasy value at this point. Stephen Davis , RB WAS - Matt Lenhart Updated 12/11/00 Davis had a surprisingly modest game against the Cowboys this week, rushing for only 57 yards in Dallas' 32-13 victory. Although he did score a touchdown, Davis also fumbled twice, leaving some to believe that his forearm is still hindering his ability to hold onto the ball. Look for the 'Skins to try and establish Davis early in next week's game against the Steelers, as Washington looks to keep their slim playoff hopes alive. Kurt Warner , QB STL - Baja Updated 12/11/00 Warner regained his early-season form Sunday completing 27-of-32 passes for 346 yards. Unfortunately many Fantasy owners were probably eliminated from the playoffs after his four-interception debacle last week. If you are one of the owners that survived, keep Warner in your lineup and ride him to Fantasy glory. Jeff George , QB WAS - Fear Updated 12/11/00 George was a disappointment to Fantasy owners who picked him up for this week's game against Dallas. The veteran quarterback completed 19-of-33 passes for 235 yards and only one score in the game. George will remain the starter for the final two games so look for better numbers on Saturday against Pittsburgh, whose secondary was blasted by the Giants' Kerry Collins this week. Marshall Faulk , RB STL - McKay Neal Updated 12/11/00 Faulk was a Fantasy juggernaut Sunday rushing for four touchdowns. He gained 135 yards on 25 carries, and added six catches for 43 yards. With his performance Sunday he re-affirmed himself as the best Fantasy running back. Travis Prentice , RB CLE - Top Dogs Updated 12/11/00 Prentice scored two one-yard touchdowns during Sunday's game against Philadelphia, and had 46 rushing yards on 17 carries on the day. He also bruised his right calf, although X-rays were negative. Although these numbers are more promising, we're not optimistic Prentice will help your Fantasy team when he goes up against Tennessee next Sunday. Cris Carter , WR MIN - Matt Lenhart Updated 12/11/00 Carter had seven catches for 66 yards in Sunday's game against the Rams. He will have another formidable test against the Packers this week, but Carter will be up for the task. He struggled in their first meeting but still managed to make five catches for 59 yards and score a touchdown. Randall Cunningham , QB DAL - Free Agent Updated 12/11/00 Cunningham was listed as the third-string quarterback in Sunday's game against the Redskins because of a nagging groin injury. When Troy Aikman went down with a concussion, Anthony Wright replaced him in the lineup, leaving Cunningham on the bench. With Dallas' starting quarterback situation up in the air for next week, Fantasy owners should avoid starting Cowboys' quarterbacks all together. Dennis Northcutt , WR CLE - Free Agent Updated 12/11/00 Northcutt alternated with Doug Pederson at quarterback during Sunday's game against Philadelphia, although he did not attempt a pass. He had seven carries for 37 yards rushing, and five catches for 44 yards receiving in the game. Unfortunately, Northcutt sprained his ankle on the final punt return of the game. Despite the decent yardage totals, he won't have enough Fantasy value to help you at this important stage of the season. Randy Moss , WR MIN - Hunter Shively Updated 12/11/00 Moss was held to four catches for 64 yards and a touchdown Sunday. Look for Moss to have a better game against the Packers this week. He had six catches for 130 yards in their first meeting this season. Giants , DT NYG - Free Agent Updated 12/11/00 The Giants' defense continues to be solid, holding their last three opponents to 24 combined points. This week' opponent, the Dallas Cowboys, could be without both Troy Aikman (concussion) and Randall Cunningham (groin), leaving third-string quarterback Anthony Wright to man the ship. Dallas' offense has struggled for most of the season, so the G-Men should hold the 'Boys in check for most of the game. Unless you own a defense with a better matchup, Fantasy owners should strongly consider starting the Giants' D this week. Daunte Culpepper , QB MIN - Hunter Shively Updated 12/11/00 Culpepper completed 21-of-33 passes for 221 yards and three touchdowns in a losing cause Sunday. He also added an eight-yard scoring run of his own. Although the Vikings struggled as a team Sunday Culpepper will continue to help Fantasy owners for the duration of the season. Scott Mitchell , QB CIN - Free Agent Updated 12/11/00 Coach Dick LeBeau was impressed enough with Mitchell's performance on Sunday against Tennessee that he named him the starting quarterback next Sunday against Jacksonville. The veteran QB was 12-for-26 passing for 131 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions, and was sacked four times. Mitchell should still be nowhere near your roster during the Fantasy playoffs. Brad Daluiso , K NYG - Free Agent Updated 12/11/00 Daluiso ws good on all three of his field goal attempts on Sunday, converting from 38, 40 and 21 yards against Pittsburgh. He has now been successful on 12 consecutive attempts dating back to Week Seven against New York's next opponent, the Dallas Cowboys. Unless you have one of the league's top-notch kickers, starting Daluiso is a solid choice. Qadry Ismail , WR BAL - McKay Neal Updated 12/11/00 Ismail seemed to be much more in synch with quarterback Trent Dilfer during Sunday's game against San Diego. He had six catches for 80 yards and a touchdown, a 28-yarder the two call a "slugo" (slant and go). Although it looked for a bit like Ismail wasn't worth a look during your playoffs, he could finally be at the point where he'll give you good numbers. Give him consideration next Sunday when he faces Arizona. More Updates Copyright 2000 Commissioner.COM Inc and SportsLine.com Inc. Your site is always at http://football.commissioner.com/ene FB10SP
