He will not play again this season. Shaun Alexander wi= ll be the starter for Seattle's final three games. Brian Griese , QB DEN = - Jugg or Nuts Updated 12/19/01 Griese should be able to return from a conc= ussion after the bye week. Jarious Jackson will be Denver's No. 2 QB. Joe= Jurevicius , WR NYG - Drunk Monkeys Updated 12/19/01 Jurevicius (hamstring= ) is expected to return to action on Sunday. He may be able to catch a deep= ball or two against the erratic Seattle secondary. Travis Henry , RB BUF= - Kens Killers Updated 12/19/01 Henry will miss Sunday's game with a sprai= ned right knee. Shawn Bryson will start in his place. Tim Dwight , WR SD= - Free Agent Updated 12/19/01 Dwight (fluid in lung) is not expected to pl= ay this week. He has not produced very much this year when healthy. Tyrone= Wheatley , RB OAK - Jugg or Nuts Updated 12/19/01 Wheatley, who was not us= ed last week, is expected to see some playing time in Week 15. He will prob= ably not be used enough, however, to help most Fantasy teams. Derrick Mas= on , WR TEN - Kens Killers Updated 12/19/01 Mason missed Tuesday's practice= with a hip flexor injury. His current status is day to day. Steve McNair = , QB TEN - Feeleys Fanatics Updated 12/19/01 McNair (back stiffness) missed= practice on Tuesday. His current status is day to day. Chris Sanders , W= R TEN - Free Agent Updated 12/19/01 Sanders has returned to practice from a= back injury. He is not expected to play this week. Tony Richardson , RB = KC - Free Agent Updated 12/19/01 Richardson is day to day with a shoulder i= njury. He is expected to play on Sunday. Oronde Gadsden , WR MIA - Jugg o= r Nuts Updated 12/19/01 Gadsden missed Tuesday's practice with a strained h= amstring. He is expected to play on Saturday. Bill Gramatica , K ARI - Car= sons Wildcats Updated 12/19/01 Gramatica (knee) was placed on injured reser= ve. Rookie Cedric Oglesby will be Arizona's placekicker for the final three= games of the season. Amos Zereoue , RB PIT - Free Agent Updated 12/19/01= Zereoue is listed as questionable this week because of a sore shoulder. H= e might start at RB if healthy. He replaced Chris Fuamatu-Ma'afala and gain= ed 73 yards Sunday. Jerome Bettis , RB PIT - Jugg or Nuts 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 ag= ainst Detroit, the running back was listed Tuesday 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 playi= ng in the right games." Keep Bettis on your bench this week. His health sta= tus 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 th= e 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 prod= uction over the final three weeks, making him a risky start. Steve McNair = , QB TEN - Feeleys Fanatics Updated 12/18/01 McNair will miss Tuesday's pra= ctice 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 rep= air 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 - Free Agent Updated 12/18/01 Zereoue re-i= njured his sprained shoulder late in Sunday's game against Baltimore. His s= tatus for next Sunday's game against Detroit is unclear, but he's only a ma= rginal starter in deeper leagues anyway. Gus Frerotte , QB DEN - Free Agen= t Updated 12/18/01 The Broncos are likely to place Frerotte on injured rese= rve due to a separated shoulder which might require surgery. Brian Griese w= ill probably start for the remainder of the season, with Jarious Jackson se= rving as his backup. James Jackson , RB CLE - Damons Doormats Updated 12/1= 8/01 According to the Cleveland Plain Dealer, Jackson could miss the remain= der of the season due to a sprained ankle. He wasn't a reliable weekly star= ter during the Fantasy playoffs to begin with, and Benjamin Gay and Jamel W= hite, who are less reliable starters, are likely to split time the rest of = the way if Jackson is out. Corey Dillon , RB CIN - Woltys Wonders 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 against Baltimore. D= on'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 w= orth starting in the most important weeks of the Fantasy season. Akili Smi= th , QB CIN - Free Agent Updated 12/18/01 The Bengals placed Smith on inju= red reserve with a hamstring injury Tuesday, officially ending his season. = He will likely need surgery to reattach the muscle group in his hamstring t= o the bone. Jon Kitna will probably start in his place the rest of the seas= on if he's healthy, but we don't recommend any Cincinnati quarterback the r= est of the year anyway. Terry Allen , RB BAL - Free Agent Updated 12/18/01= The Ravens are likely to feature one running back Sunday against Cincinnat= i after Allen, Moe Williams and Obafemi Ayanbadejo combined for just 10 car= ries for 40 yards in Week 14. Allen is the likely starter of the three afte= r he recovered from a hand inj! ur! y. None of the three is a worthy starte= r in a Fantasy league regardless of whether he starts. Doug Flutie , QB S= D - Powers Rangers Updated 12/18/01 Chargers Head Coach Mike Riley said Mon= day that he plans to start Flutie Sunday against Kansas City instead of roo= kie Drew Brees. While Brees is not expected to play, he may see some playin= g 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 cou= ld sit in favor of Brees at any time. Priest Holmes , RB KC - Woltys Wonde= rs Updated 12/18/01 Holmes is likely to skip practice Wednesday and possibl= y 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 stat= us before you consider using him this week. Bert Emanuel , WR DET - Free A= gent Updated 12/18/01 Emanuel (knee) could be back in the starting lineup t= his week against Pittsburgh. He will be re-evaluated this week to determine= his true status for the game. Santana Moss , WR NYJ - Feeleys Fanatics U= pdated 12/18/01 Moss, still suffering from a strained quadriceps is listed = as questionable for Sunday's game. The injury has sidelined him the past fe= w weeks. Stephen Davis , RB WAS - Kens Killers Updated 12/18/01 Davis suf= fered 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 W= ashington Post. Despite the injury, Davis is expected to start against Chic= ago in Week 15. Tony Banks , QB WAS - Free Agent Updated 12/18/01 Accordi= ng to the Washington Post, Banks will remain the Redskins' starting quarter= back. Banks has been very inconsistent recently, but Coach Marty Schottemhe= imer 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 seve= rely sprained ankle during Sunday's loss to Chicago. The injury will likely= keep him out of this weekend's game against New Orleans. More Updates T= eams, Player News [IMAGE]Carsons Wildcats Player News Bill Gramatica , Re= serve K Updated 12/19/01 Gramatica (knee) was placed on injured reserve. Ro= okie Cedric Oglesby will be Arizona's placekicker for the final three games= of the season. Ahman Green , Active RB Updated 12/16/01 Green had an awf= ul outing at Tennessee, finishing with just nine rushing yards and 24 recei= ving yards. Expect him to quickly rebound from such a poor performance. L= aDainian Tomlinson , Active RB Updated 12/16/01 Tomlinson had only 69 all-p= urpose yards on Saturday against Oakland. He seems to be wearing down somew= hat, which makes him more and more of a risk for Fantasy owners. Kurt War= ner , Active QB Updated 12/14/01 Warner should guide many Fantasy teams to = success this week. Expect fine numbers from him against the NFC West rival = Saints on Monday Night Football. Torry Holt , Active WR Updated 12/14/01 = The explosive Holt is a must-start player in Week 14. He will be a regularl= y featured target for Kurt Warner on Monday Night Football. David Patten = , Active WR Updated 12/14/01 Patten hasn't been a very good Fantasy receive= r recently. His numbers may suffer now that Terry Glenn has returned. Fre= ddie Jones , Reserve TE Updated 12/14/01 Jones has been a Fantasy disappoin= tment again this year. He won't do much against Oakland on Saturday. Rod G= ardner , Active WR Updated 12/14/01 Gardner has been a servicable Fantasy p= layer this year, but don't count on him to find the end zone against the to= ugh Philadelphia secondary this week. Mark Brunell , Reserve QB Updated 1= 2/13/01 Brunell did not practice Wednesday but will play Sunday, according = to the Florida Times-Union. He is expected to practice on Thursday. Brunell= is recovering from a lingering quadriceps injury and an injured finger. S= hannon Sharpe , Reserve TE Updated 12/13/01 Sharpe is recovering from a leg= injury but is expected to play Sunday. He practiced Wednesday and is liste= d as probable on the injury report. Steve Christie , Active K Updated 12/= 12/01 Christie will continue to work on field goals. Both he and Wade Riche= y, who is working on kickoffs, are not reliable Fantasy kickers. Michael P= ittman , Reserve RB Updated 12/02/01 Pittman had a solid game, posting 93 a= ll-purpose yards and a touchdown against Oakland. He's been inconsistent as= a Fantasy player, however, and is best used when the matchup is right. Tr= avis Prentice , Reserve RB Updated 09/03/01 Prentice was traded to the Viki= ngs, where he might see some work as a No. 2 RB, at best. He's not worth a = Fantasy draft choice right now. Rams , Active DT Updated 08/30/01 Head Co= ach Mike Martz announced that safeties Kim Herring (hamstring) and Adam Arc= huleta (hamstring), linebackers Mark Fields (thigh) and London Fletcher (ha= mstring) and CB Aeneas Williams (back) will be held out of the Rams' final = preseason game. However, they will all be ready for the season opener again= st Philadelphia on September 9. The Rams defense is worth a late-round sele= ction on Draft Day. Steelers , Reserve DT Updated 08/25/01 Defensive back= Chad Scott sprained the medial collateral ligament in his right knee on Sa= turday. He is expected to have an MRI this weekend, and the team is uncerta= in of just how long he'll be out. [IMAGE] Copyright 2001 Commissioner.CO= M Inc and SportsLine.com Inc.
