Fred Smoot (leg), however, is in danger of missin= g this weekend's contest against Carolina. Darrell Green would replace Smoo= t if he's unable to go. Rob Moore , WR ARI - Martin Updated 10/17/01 Moor= e (hamstring) is listed as probable for Sunday's game against Kansas City. = He hasn't been full speed at practice, h! ow! ever, so don't consider him F= antasy-wise just yet. Patrick Jeffers , WR CAR - Free Agent Updated 10/17= /01 Jeffers (knees) saw extensive work in practice today and may be ready t= o play this weekend against New Orleans. However, Jeffers is too risky to s= tart from a Fantasy perspective. Muhsin Muhammad , WR CAR - Martin Update= d 10/17/01 Muhammad's ribs are still sore after taking a few shots during S= unday's game against New Orleans. Coach George Seifert expects him to play,= but he may be somewhat limited. Unless his status improves by the end of t= he week, Fantasy owners may want to consider benching Muhammad! i! f at all= possible. Chris Weinke , QB CAR - Tori Updated 10/17/01 Weinke missed pr= actice on Wednesday due to a thigh injury. However, Head Coach George Seife= rt expects the rookie quarterback to start on Sunday against Washington. If= you need a quarterback this week, Weinke is a good choice facing a terribl= e Redskins' defense. Terance Mathis , WR ATL - Frank Updated 10/17/01 Mat= his (hand) returned to practice on Wednesday. He is expected to start on Su= nday against New Orleans, but he's only worth starting in deeper leagues fr= om a Fantasy perspective. Shawn Jefferson , WR ATL - Free Agent Updated = 10/17/01 Jefferson (toe) returned to practice on Wednesday. He is expected = to be in the starting lineup on Sunday against New Orleans, but he's too un= reliable to use Fantasy-wise. Ryan Leaf , QB DAL - Free Agent Updated 10/= 17/01 Leaf worked with he first team offense during practice on Wednesday. = He was filling in for Anthony Wright, who was given the day off to rest his= swollen right knee. Leaf will have his chance to win the starting job in D= allas, but he has no real Fantasy value at this time. Troy Hambrick , RB = DAL - Free Agent Updated 10/17/01 Now that Robert Thomas is gone for the ye= ar, Hambrick is expected to become Dallas' starting fullback. He's shown fl= ashes of brilliance at times, but his value as a Fantasy player is still mi= nimal at this point. Michael Bennett , RB MIN - Matty Updated 10/17/01 Be= nnett is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against Green Bay due to a ri= ght ankle injury. Expect Doug Chapman to get the start, with Travis Prentic= e serving as his backup. Don't use Bennett this week. Randy Moss , WR MIN = - Russell Updated 10/17/01 Moss is listed as questionable for Sunday's game= against Green Bay with a right ankle injury. While we normally tell you to= start him every week, this is one matchup we wouldn't activate him for unl= ess it becomes completely clear he will start. Shane Matthews , QB CHI - F= ree Agent Updated 10/17/01 The Bears re-signed Matthews on Tuesday. He retu= rns to his old backup QB job and isn't worth adding to your Fantasy roster.= Terrell Davis , RB DEN - JWillie Updated 10/17/01 According to published = reports, Davis would like to return to the li! ne! up Sunday at San Diego. = He has recovered from a knee injury, and Broncos Head Coach Mike Shanahan w= ants him to return by November 4. We don't recommend you use Davis this wee= k, although this development also makes it tough to recommend you start any= Broncos running back. Stacey Mack , RB JAC - Hunter Updated 10/17/01 Mac= k will get a lot of carries this week but don't expect him to be too produc= tive. He only gained 17 yards on nine carries in the Jaguars' previous. K= eenan McCardell , WR JAC - Neal/McKay Updated 10/17/01 McCardell struggled = in his first few games back from injury, but looked like his old self in th= e previous game. Look for McCardell to play well this week and catch a lot = of passes. Sean Dawkins , WR JAC - Free Agent Updated 10/17/01 Dawkins w= ill have a tough time against Buffalo this week. He will catch of couple of= passes but won't find his way into the end zone. Mark Brunell , QB JAC -= JWillie Updated 10/17/01 Brunell is no longer being bothered by headaches = and is expected to play in Week Six. Look for him to throw for over 200 yar= ds and a score. Kyle Brady , TE JAC - Free Agent Updated 10/17/01 Brady= is expected to play in this week's game despite a hip injury, and is liste= d as probable.! H! e won't be too productive if he does play. Brady only ha= s five catches this season. Jimmy Smith , WR JAC - Frank Updated 10/17/01= Smith has been very consistent this season. Look for him to catch several = passes and score a touchdown against Buffalo. Herman Moore , WR DET - Free= Agent Updated 10/17/01 Moore will miss the remainder of the season after t= earing a muscle in his hip during Sunday's game at Minnesota. "We're disapp= ointed the injury is much worse than we thought," Lions Head Coach Marty Mo= rnhinweg said. "We believed it was a minor pull, but the MRI showed a signi= ficant tear in the muscle." Drop Moore if he was on your Fantasy tea! m.! L= arry Foster assumes the No. 3 receiver job in Detroit. Tyrone Wheatley , R= B OAK - Giggles Updated 10/17/01 According to published reports, Wheatley w= ill miss three to four weeks with a right knee sprain. The veteran back was= beginning to lose carries to Charlie Garner before he was hurt. Charlie G= arner , RB OAK - Russell Updated 10/17/01 The Contra-Costa Times points out= Garner has apparently supplanted Tyrone Wheatley as the team's "workhorse"= back. The trend was apparent before Wheatley was reported to miss three to= four weeks with a knee injury. Travis Henry , RB BUF - Martin Updated 10/= 17/01 Henry told the Buffalo News he plans to have minor surgery on both kn= ees after the season. Henry has tendinitis in both knees, but it will not a= ffect him during the regular season. Jay Riemersma , TE BUF - Free Agent U= pdated 10/17/01 The Buffalo News says the Bills want to get Riemersma more = involved in the offense now that tackles Jonas Jennings and John Fina are h= ealthy again. Riemersma was being asked to block more often early in the ye= ar, but he will now become more involved in the passing game. Jerome Patho= n , WR IND - Tori Updated 10/17/01 It is not clear if Pathon (foot) will be= able to play this week against the Patriots. Pathon missed Sunday's game a= gainst Oakland. Reggie Wayne would start in Pathon's place if he cannot pla= y again. Dedric Ward , WR MIA - Free Agent Updated 10/17/01 The Miami Hera= ld says Ward had his foor placed in a boot because he had a problem with st= ress protection. The Dolphins do not know when he will return. Emmitt Smit= h , RB DAL - Bass/Hull Updated 10/17/01 According to the Dallas Morning Sta= ! , Smith could end up splitting more carries with Troy Hambrick in the com= ing weeks. Head Coach Dave Campo believes the two backs complement each oth= er very well, and that the move will keep Smith fresh for a longer duration= on game day. Stephen Alexander , TE WAS - Free Agent Updated 10/17/01 Al= exander underwent an MRI on his injured right ankle Monday, which revealed = a high sprain. He is expected to miss at least two weeks of action due to t= he injury, so be sure to reserve him if he is still on your roster. Micha= el Pittman , RB ARI - Matty Updated 10/17/01 Pittman, who suffered a concus= sion during Sunday's loss to Chicago, is expected to practice on Tuesday. H= is status for this weekend's game against Kansas City is questionable, but = he is expected to play. Greg Clark , TE SF - Free Agent Updated 10/17/01 C= lark went through his most extensive workout since undergoing surgery on hi= s right hamstring three weeks ago. "It was encouraging," Clark told the Con= tra Costa Times. "I ran (a half mile). I never could do any of that before = the last surgery (which removed his semitendonosis tendon). The most I coul= d do was jog two minutes. It's an amazing difference in comparison." Head C= oach Steve Mariucci doesn't know when Clark will be healthy enough to make = his season debut, however, but he did rule Clark out for their Oct. 28 game= against Chicago. More Updates Playe! r ! News Teams [IMAGE] Matty Pl= ayer News Michael Pittman , Active RB Updated 10/17/01 Pittman, who suffer= ed a concussion during Sunday's loss to Chicago, is expected to practice on= Tuesday. His status for this weekend's game against Kansas City is questio= nable, but he is expected to play. Giants , Active DT Updated 10/17/01 De= fensive tackle Keith Hamilton suffered a separated shoulder during Sunday's= game against St. Louis, but he is expected to play on Monday night against= Philadelphia. Linebacker Mike Barrow has a hip pointer, but should be able= to play in the game as well with some extra padding. CB Will Allen has a s= prained ankle, and his status against the Eagles is questionable at this po= int. Michael Bennett , Reserve RB Updated 10/17/01 Bennett is listed as d= oubtful for Sunday's game against Green Bay due to a right ankle injury. Ex= pect Doug Chapman to get the start, with Travis Prentice serving as his bac= kup. Don't use Bennett this week. Marshall Faulk , Active RB Updated 10/16= /01 Faulk has not been ruled out of Sunday's game against the New York Jets= despite a bruised right knee. "He really could possibly play this week," c= oach Mike Martz said. "We're not going to rule the possibility of him playi= ng completely out." If Faulk is unable to go, however, Trung Canidate will = be the featured back in the game. At this point, it's tough to make a decis= ion on whether or not to start Faulk Fantasy-wise, so monitor the situation= throughout the week. Brian Griese , Reserve QB Updated 10/16/01 The Bron= cos are unsure whether Griese will be ready for Sunday's game in San Diego,= according to the Denver Post. However, An MRI Monday morning on his right = shoulder revealed no structural damage and no tie to his previous shoulder = surgeries. Griese is questionable for Wednesday's practice as well as Sunda= y's game, and if he's out, expect Gus Frerotte to get the start. Brad John= son , Reserve QB Updated 10/14/01 Johnson finally had a productive game Fan= tasy-wise, throwing for 287 yards and three scores against Tennessee. He is= still not worth starting on a regular basis, however, and is better off us= ed when the matchup is good. Terry Glenn , Active WR Updated 10/14/01 Gle= nn had a huge game in his return from a suspension, catching seven passes f= or 110 yards and a score. He won't post numbers that good on a weekly basis= , but he is worth picking up and starting if you need help with your receiv= ers. Rod Smith , Active WR Updated 10/12/01 Smith's yardage numbers might= be a bit disappointing this week if Seattle CB Shawn Springs (hamstring, p= robable) is close to top form. But he should still catch at least one TD pa= ss as the Seahawks hurt their secondary with the lack of a solid pass rush.= Frank Wycheck , Reserve TE Updated 10/12/01 Look for Wycheck to catch a l= ot of passes this week. He hasn't had a lot of looks because he has been us= ed mostly as a fullback, blocking for Eddie George. But George is suffering= from an ankle injury and isn't expected to get a lot of carries. The Titan= s will throw to Wycheck to compensate. Joe Horn , Active WR Updated 10/12= /01 Horn is a must-start this weekend against Carolina. The Panthers' secon= dary is very vulnerable, and Horn has put up good numbers against them in t= he past. Oronde Gadsden , Reserve WR Updated 10/12/01 Gadsden should find= himself in position to catch a TD pass against the Jets. Miami will score = often against the New York defense. Sebastian Janikowski , Active K Update= d 10/10/01 Janikowki needed five stitches to close a cut on his head that w= as suffered during an off-field incident. He has not missed practice and sh= ould play against the Colts this week. J.J. Stokes , Reserve WR Updated 10= /09/01 Stokes, who injured his knee during Sunday's win over Carolina, is l= isted as probable for this weekend's contest at Atlanta. He's been inconsis= tent thus far, and shouldn't be depended on to produce Fantasy-wise. Aaro= n Brooks , Active QB Updated 10/08/01 Brooks turned in his second consecuti= ve mediocre performance Sunday. He only threw for 210 yards with an interce= ption and no touchdown passes. Brooks has struggled in the last two games b= ut the Saints will stick with him as the starter since they are winning gam= es. He's worth a starting spot Fantasy-wise this week against Carolina.
