He is scheduled to have surgery on the ankle Wednesday to insert a pin in the joint. This is a major setback for the rookie. He started Sunday's game and had two catches for 70 yards. Eddie Berlin, WR TEN - Free Agent Updated 10/16/01 Berlin, a rookie receiver used mostly on special teams, will be sidelined three to four weeks. He suffered a severely separated right shoulder on a kickoff return Sunday. Dennis Northcutt, WR CLE - Free Agent Updated 10/16/01 Browns' head coach Butch Davis told The Akron Plain-Dealer that Northcutt will get a lot of playing time this week against the Ravens. Don't expect Northcutt to be too productive, but he is a decent pickup if you need an extra wideout this week. Peter Warrick, WR CIN - Dont Mess Updated 10/16/01 Warrick is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Bears. He is recovering from a bruised left shoulder. Marco Battaglia, TE CIN - Free Agent Updated 10/16/01 Battaglia is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Bears. He is suffering from a strained left shoulder. Elvis Grbac, QB BAL - Houston Big Ballers Updated 10/16/01 Grbac was feeling woozy and nursing a headache Monday, the result of the most severe concussion he's received in nine years in the NFL but he will play Sunday at Cleveland. Grbac was slammed to the ground by Santana Dotson in the second quarter of the Baltimore Ravens' 31-23 loss to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday. The quarterback stayed in the game, but threw interceptions on his next two drives and was pulled eight minutes into the fourth quarter. On Monday, Grbac declared himself fit enough to play. "I'm still a little foggy, and my wife was waking me up every few hours to see if I was alive," he said, "but I'm feeling OK and I'll be ready." Redskins, DT WAS - Free Agent Updated 10/16/01 Washington cornerback Fred Smoot suffered a sprained left knee during Monday's game against Dallas. He was on crutches after sustaining the injury and is currently listed as day-to-day. Stephen Alexander, TE WAS - Free Agent Updated 10/16/01 Alexander suffered a sprained right ankle during Monday night's loss to Washington. He was seen using crutches on the sidelines and is listed as day-to-day. Duce Staley, RB PHI - Luccis Losers Updated 10/16/01 According to Eagles' coach Andy Reid, Staley will be the starting tailback on Monday night against the N.Y. Giants. However, Staley is expected to split carries with Correll Buckhalter, which will make it tough to play him Fantasy-wsie. Joe Jurevicius, WR NYG - C-Dawg's Boyz Updated 10/16/01 Jurevicius suffered a rib injury during Sunday's game against St. Louis. The injury is not considered serious, however, so expect Jurevicius to be in the starting lineup on Monday against Philadelphia. Bill Schroeder, WR GB - Grid Iron Goons Updated 10/16/01 Schroeder (ankle) informed Head Coach Mike Sherman that he would be available for Sunday's game against Minnesota. Sherman stated that a decision on Schroeder would not be made until later in the week, but we expect him to go. Joey Galloway, WR DAL - Team Chick Updated 10/16/01 Galloway suffered a sprained left ankle during Monday night's 9-7 win over Washington. The Cowboys have a bye this week, so Galloway should have amble time to recover from the injury in time for the team's next game. Reggie Swinton, WR DAL - Free Agent Updated 10/16/01 Swinton suffered a hamstring injury during pre-game warmups on Monday night. He left the game after the opening kickoff, and is listed as day-to-day. Jackie Harris, TE DAL - Free Agent Updated 10/16/01 Harris (groin) returned to action on Monday night against Washington. He didn't have a reception in the game, and has no real value as a Fantasy player at this point. Quincy Carter, QB DAL - Free Agent Updated 10/16/01 Carter underwent successful surgery to repair the tendon that attaches his hamstring to his lower left leg on Monday. He is expected to miss six weeks of action due to the procedure. Raghib Ismail, WR DAL - Free Agent Updated 10/16/01 Ismail (knee) returned to action on Monday night against Washington. He finished with three catches for 50 yards, but didn't make much of an impact Fantasy-wise. Tiki Barber, RB NYG - Team Chick Updated 10/16/01 Barber (hamstring) is expected to return to practice on Thursday. Barring any setbacks, Barber will be available for Sunday's game against Philadelphia. With the emergence of Ron Dayne, however, Barber may see a drop in his Fantasy value over the coming weeks. Michael Pittman, RB ARI - Dont Mess Updated 10/16/01 Pittman suffered a concussion during Sunday's loss to Chicago, and was dealing with headaches on Monday as a result. He is expected to undergo tests, and is status for Sunday's game against Kansas City will be determined later in the week. If he is unable to play, Thomas Jones would step into the No. 1 RB role once again. Randy Moss, WR MIN - Team Chick Updated 10/16/01 Moss is dealing with a sprained right ankle, which may keep him from playing at full capacity this weekend against Green Bay. It's tough to ever bench Moss, but considering his recent struggles, it might not be a bad idea if your roster allows for a solid replacement. Doug Chapman, RB MIN - Team Dick Updated 10/16/01 Chapman is expected to get the starting nod this weekend against Green Bay due to Michael Bennett's ankle injury. Chapman may be worth picking up for the week in deeper leagues, but he'll be hard-pressed to put up good numbers against a solid Packers' defense. Michael Bennett, RB MIN - Houston Big Ballers Updated 10/16/01 According to the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, Bennett (ankle) is expected to miss this weekend's game against Green Bay. He was wearing a protective boot on Monday and was walking with a noticeable limp. Doug Chapman will likely get the start in Bennett's absence. Muhsin Muhammad, WR CAR - Orange Roughy Updated 10/16/01 Muhammad suffered a hip injury during Sunday's loss to the New Orleans Saints. However, the injury won't keep him from playing in this weekend's game against Washington. Considering the Redskins' woes, it's a good idea to start Muhammad Fantasy-wise. Chris Weinke, QB CAR - Houston Big Ballers Updated 10/16/01 Weinke is dealing with a slight thigh injury, but he is expected to play on Sunday against Washington. With the state of the Redskins team, Weinke may be worth starting Fantasy-wise. Herman Moore, WR DET - C-Dawg's Boyz Updated 10/15/01 Moore suffered a hip pointed during the second quarter of Sunday's game. It was his only play of the game, which demonstrates how little his Fantasy value is these days. He is listed as day-to-day. Shane Matthews, QB CHI - Free Agent Updated 10/15/01 The Bears plan to re-sign Matthews possibly on Monday, according to the Chicago Sun-Times. He would return to his backup QB job, and isn't worth adding to your Fantasy roster. Matt Hasselbeck, QB SEA - Texas Terminators Updated 10/15/01 Mike Holmgren has confirmed Trent Dilfer will return to the bench when Seattle plays its next game. Hasselbeck is expected to start against Miami on Oct. 28. "The plan is still to prepare for Miami with Matt as the guy," Holmgren said. Neither player has been a very useful Fantasy starter so far, but Hasselbeck has been a big disappointment, while Dilfer has played mistake-free football. Mark Brunell, QB JAC - President Taft Updated 10/15/01 Brunell is no longer being bothered by headaches. He is expected to play in Week Six. Lamar Smith, RB MIA - Texas Terminators Updated 10/15/01 Smith sprained his right ankle on Sunday against the Jets. The injury is not considered to be serious, and Smith was able to finish the game. Brian Griese, QB DEN - Really Rottens Updated 10/15/01 Griese re-aggravated a shoulder injury on Sunday at Seattle. The Denver Post says Griese's shoulder will be re-examined on Monday or Tuesday. "I was able to come back and play this week, and I'm hoping to do the same next week," Griese said. Chad Johnson, WR CIN - Free Agent Updated 10/15/01 Johnson is expected to miss six weeks with a fractured collarbone. He injured the shoulder in the third quarter of Sunday's game.Ron Dugans might now become Cincinanti's third receiver. Terry Jackson, RB SF - Free Agent Updated 10/15/01 Jackson suffered a calf injury Sunday. He is listed as probable for next week's game at Chicago. Rob Johnson, QB BUF - Free Agent Updated 10/15/01 The Buffalo News says Johnson (neck) looked good in practice on Sunday. He is expected to play in Week Six. ""He threw the ball extremely well, especially in the wind today," said coach Gregg Williams. "He had a fresh arm. It seems like there is no residual effect from it right now." Muhsin Muhammad, WR CAR - Orange Roughy Updated 10/15/01 A hip injury prevented Muhammad from finishing Sunday's game. He is expected to play in next week's game against the Redskins. Terance Mathis, WR ATL - Dont Mess Updated 10/15/01 Mathis shook off a hip injury and played in Sunday's game. However, a sprained hand limited him to four catches for 50 yards. The hand injury isn't considered to be serious. Mathis will be evaluated on a day-to-day basis. Bob Christian, RB ATL - Free Agent Updated 10/15/01 Christian suffered bruised ribs in Sunday's game. He will be evaluated on a day to day basis. Shawn Jefferson, WR ATL - Free Agent Updated 10/15/01 Jefferson missed a lot of playing time Sunday because of a sprained left big toe. He will be evaluated on a day-to-day basis. Marshall Faulk, RB STL - Blue Balls Updated 10/15/01 The St. Louis Rams will be without Faulk for at least one week. The Rams originally diagnosed the injury as a sprained right medial collateral ligament, but an MRI revealed no severe ligament or cartilage damage. Rams coach Mike Martz fears that Faulk may be sidelined for at least three weeks. "They (the doctors) think he will be out somewhere between three to four weeks," Martz said. Faulk will be re-evaluated next week and believes it is possible he could return for a key NFC West game against the New Orleans Saints on October 28. "We'll see," Faulk said. "It's kind of early to say, but you never know." Chris Weinke, QB CAR - Houston Big Ballers Updated 10/15/01 Weinke continued to struggle Sunday, fumbling away the center exchange on Carolina's second possession, losing another fumble when his arm was hit as he attempted to pass and also throwing an interception. All three turnovers led to Saints scores, putting Carolina down 17-0. He finished 21-of-39 for 196 yards and two second-half touchdowns. Use him as a reserve for now. Trent Dilfer, QB SEA - Grid Iron Goons Updated 10/14/01 Dilfer left Sunday's game in the fourth quarter with a groin injury. He was replaced by Matt Hasselbeck. Eddie Kennison, WR DEN - Dont Mess Updated 10/14/01 Kennison caught six passes for 84 yards and a TD at Seattle. Don't expect Kennison to suddenly turn his career and season around with one solid outing. He might follow his good game with many weeks of statistical silence, Shaun Alexander, RB SEA - Houston Big Ballers Updated 10/14/01 Alexander had another great game, rushing for 142 yards and two TDs on 33 carries against Denver. Alexander has clearly established himself as a Fantasy standout, and he has ignited the Seattle offense. If he continues to play at his current level, he might hold onto the feature back job, even when Ricky Watters returns. Jay Fiedler, QB MIA - C-Dawg's Boyz Updated 10/14/01 Fiedler threw for 213 yards and a score against the N.Y. Jets, but he was also picked off twice. He's still not a very reliable Fantasy player, and is no better than a reserve at this point. Lamar Smith, RB MIA - Texas Terminators Updated 10/14/01 Smith had a decent outing on Sunday, posting 77 yards of total offense and a touchdown against the N.Y. Jets. He did fumble twice in the game, but he's still good enough to be a No. 1 back from a Fantasy perspective. Laveranues Coles, WR NYJ - Team Dick Updated 10/14/01 Coles was very prodcutive for the N.Y. Jets on Sunday, posting five catches for 77 yards and two touchdowns against Miami. He may not be worth starting every week just yet, but Coles is slowly becoming a player worthy of a roster spot. Vinny Testaverde, QB NYJ - Uran Man Updated 10/14/01 Testaverde had a good outing against Miami, throwing for 168 yards and two touchdowns. He's still not worth starting ever week, but Testaverde is very useful Fantasy-wise when the matchup is right. Glyn Milburn, RB CHI - Free Agent Updated 10/14/01 Milburn left Sunday's game against Arizona due to an ankle injury. He will be re-evaluated on Monday. Michael Bennett, RB MIN - Houston Big Ballers Updated 10/14/01 Bennett did nothing yet again, posting only 46 yards rushing against Detroit. Unless you play in a deeper league, you may want to consider dropping Bennett altogether. Germane Crowell, WR DET - Team Dick Updated 10/14/01 Crowell had a strong outing against Minnesota, catching nine passes for 125 yards and a score. He's still not consistent enough to use every week at this point, but he's easily worth a roster spot if available. Charlie Batch, QB DET - Free Agent Updated 10/14/01 Batch had a huge game against Minnesota, throwing for 345 yards and three scores. He's still not worth starting on a weekly basis despite the performance, but he might now warrant a reserve role in deeper leagues. Bubba Franks, TE GB - President Taft Updated 10/14/01 Franks caught only two passes for four yards against the Ravens, but both catches resulted in TDs. Franks has clearly emerged as a primary goal-line threat on one of the NFL's top offensive units. David Patten, WR NE - Grid Iron Goons Updated 10/14/01 Patten had a good game against San Diego, catching seven passes for 73 yards. He'll likely be pushed out of the starting lineup now that Terry Glenn is back, so don't be surrpised to see his numbers decrease somewhat. Antonio Freeman, WR GB - DRock's Beaatchs Updated 10/14/01 Freeman caught nine passes for 138 yards and TD against Baltimore. His fine numbers against the AFC's top defense are a clear signal that Freeman is still a quality Fantasy wideout, despite his quiet start prior to this week. Travis Taylor, WR BAL - DRock's Beaatchs Updated 10/14/01 Taylor caught three passes for 50 yards and a TD at Green Bay. The second-year wideout seems to have finally found his niche in the Baltimore passing game. Terry Glenn, WR NE - Grid Iron Goons Updated 10/14/01 Glenn had a huge game in his return from a suspension, catching seven passes for 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 receivers. Jason Brookins, RB BAL - Houston Big Ballers Updated 10/14/01 Brookins rushed for 33 yards and a TD against Green Bay. The young, strong back might continue to emerge in Baltimore's offense as the season wears on. Troy Brown, WR NE - Houston Big Ballers Updated 10/14/01 Brown had a great outing against San Diego, posting 11 catches for 117 yards against San Diego. With Terry Glenn returning, Brown could become a pretty relaible Fantasy player facing No. 2 cornerbacks on a weekly basis. Darnay Scott, WR CIN - Orange Roughy Updated 10/14/01 Scott caught only one pass for five yards against the Browns, but he scored on his only reception. Jon Kitna seems to favor Scott in the passing game, even though the final numbers haven't always reflected it. Curtis Conway, WR SD - Blue Balls Updated 10/14/01 Conway had a solid game, posting four catches for 117 yards against New England. He is slowly becoming Doug Flutie's favorite target, and is becoming a much more reliable Fantasy player than in years past. Antowain Smith, RB NE - Team Dick Updated 10/14/01 Smith rushed for only 36 yards in Sunday's win over San Diego, but he did score a touchdown. He's still not a complete Fantasy player, however, and is no better than a reserve used only when the matchup is right. Kevin Johnson, WR CLE - Grid Iron Goons Updated 10/14/01 Johnson caught eight passes for 153 yards and a TD against the Bengals. It appears the Cleveland wideout is starting to re-emerge as a quality Fantasy player. Tom Brady, QB NE - Free Agent Updated 10/14/01 Brady had his first impressive outing on Sunday, throwing for 364 yards and two touchdowns in the Patriots' 29-26 overtime win over San Diego. Despite the great performace, Brady is still not worth anything more than a reserve spot Fantasy-wise. James Jackson, RB CLE - Uran Man Updated 10/14/01 Jackson played against Cincinnati, but was limited to only 22 rushing yards on 14 carries. The rookie running back, who played despite some rib problems, has been inconsistent and unreliable so far. LaDainian Tomlinson, RB SD - DRock's Beaatchs Updated 10/14/01 Tomlinson's yardage numbers (87 total) were subpar by his standards, but he did score another touchdown for San Diego. He's one of the top tailbacks in the league and should be a weekly starter Fantasy-wise. Doug Flutie, QB SD - President Taft Updated 10/14/01 Flutie had a solid game on Sunday, posting 270 yards passing and a touchdown against New England. He's still not worth starting every week, but is better of used when the matchup is right. Justin McCareins, WR TEN - Free Agent Updated 10/14/01 McCareins started in place of the injured Derrick Mason on Sunday against Tampa Bay. He did have two catches for 70 yards in the game, but still warrants very little Fantasy consideration. Donald Hayes, WR CAR - Luccis Losers Updated 10/14/01 Hayes caught seven passes for 44 yards against the Saints. If opponents continue to pay extra attention to Muhsin Muhammad, Hayes might continue to post some respectable numbers. Eddie George, RB TEN - Team Dick Updated 10/14/01 George had his best Fantasy game of the season, posting 132 yards of total offense and a score against Tampa Bay. The performance brings a sigh of relief from Fantasy owners worried that George had lost a step after offseason toe surgery. Richard Huntley, RB CAR - Orange Roughy Updated 10/14/01 Huntley rushed for only two yards on four carries against New Orleans. The Panthers are still searching for a quality runner, but Huntley doesn't appear capable of filling their void at RB. Steve McNair, QB TEN - Luccis Losers Updated 10/14/01 McNair finally had a productive game Fantasy-wise, compiling 284 yards of total offense and two touchdowns against Tampa Bay. He's still not a reliable weekly option Fantasy-wise, so use him only if the matchup is right. Muhsin Muhammad, WR CAR - Orange Roughy Updated 10/14/01 Muhammad caught only two passes for eight yards against he Saints. Don't expect such poor numbers from Muhammad very often. He remains a quality Fantasy wideout. Jacquez Green, WR TB - DRock's Beaatchs Updated 10/14/01 Green was solid on Sunday, catching six passes for 72 yards and a score against Tennessee. Despite his good performance, Green is still not a reliable player from a Fantasy perspective. Cameron Cleeland, TE NO - Free Agent Updated 10/14/01 Cleeland overcame a hamstring problem to play against Carolina, and he caught two TD passes. The injury-prone tight end finished with three catches for 38 yards, but he remains a Fantasy risk because he simply can't seem to stay healthy for very long. Keyshawn Johnson, WR TB - Orange Roughy Updated 10/14/01 Johnson had his best game of the season, posting eight catches for 140 yards against Tennessee. He's a top-notch wideout Fantasy-wise, and deserves a weekly spot in your starting lineup. Maurice Smith, RB ATL - Dont Mess Updated 10/14/01 Smith rushed for 50 yards and a TD against the 49ers. Smith's yardage numbers won't be overwhelming the rest of the year, but he should continue to be a consistent TD threat. Warrick Dunn, RB TB - President Taft Updated 10/14/01 Dunn (foot) was used as the Bucs' featured back on Sunday against Tennessee. He posted 81 yards of total offense and two scores in Tampa Bay's 31-28 overtime win. Tai Streets, WR SF - President Taft Updated 10/14/01 Streets caught four passes for 51 yards against Atlanta. With J.J. Stokes continuing to wallow in mediocrity, Streets has a chance to step up and take a more prominent role in the San Francisco offense. Brad Johnson, QB TB - DRock's Beaatchs Updated 10/14/01 Johnson finally had a productive game Fantasy-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 used when the matchup is good. Marcus Robinson, WR CHI - President Taft Updated 10/14/01 Robinson struggled on Sunday, catching only two passes for six yards. He had been dealing with a sore lower back, which may have had something to do with his performance in the game. Anthony Thomas, RB CHI - President Taft Updated 10/14/01 Thomas had 11 carries for 58 yards in Sunday's game against Arizona. Thomas is inching closer to taking James Allen's starting job, and is worth stashing away on your roster if available. Terrell Owens, WR SF - Team Chick Updated 10/14/01 Owens had a super outing against Atlanta, catching nine passes for 183 yards and three TDs, including the game-winner, a 52-yarder in overtime. Owens is definitely maintaining his place among Fantasy Football's best receivers. James Allen, RB CHI - Texas Terminators Updated 10/14/01 Allen had a solid game on Sunday, rushing for 75 yards and a touchdown. However, the performance is a bit tainted Fantasy-wise since it was against a weak Arizona defensive front. Don't expect thos type of numbers from the Bears' tailback on a weekly basis. Jim Miller, QB CHI - Grid Iron Goons Updated 10/14/01 Surprisingly, Miller had a tough day against a shaky Arizona defense on Sunday. The Bears' QB threw for only 116 yards and was picked off twice in Chicago's 21-13 victory. Miller is still worth a roster spot, but he's no better than a backup Fantasy-wise. Trung Canidate, RB STL - Blue Balls Updated 10/14/01 Canidate replaced the injured Marshall Faulk late in Sunday's game against the N.Y. Giants. If Faulk's knee injury is serious, be sure to put in a waivers request for Canidate as soon as possible. Marvin Minnis, WR KC - Houston Big Ballers Updated 10/14/01 Minnis caught one pass for only 14 yards against the Steelers. The rookie has been inconsistent so far, and is a risky start unless he faces a below-average defense. Ike Hilliard, WR NYG - Luccis Losers Updated 10/14/01 Hilliard, who was dealing with a slight oblique strain, played on Sunday against St. Louis. He caught three passes for 49 yards and a score in New York's 15-14 loss. Derrick Alexander, WR KC - C-Dawg's Boyz Updated 10/14/01 Alexander overcame back problems to play against the Steelers, but was held to just one catch for 10 yards. Injuries and lack of effective complements have rendered Alexander a disappointment so far this season. Joe Jurevicius, WR NYG - C-Dawg's Boyz Updated 10/14/01 Jurevicius posted a solid game against St. Louis, catching six passes for 101 yards. If he continues to put up good numbers, Jurevicius could keep Ike Hilliard from getting back his starting role. Priest Holmes, RB KC - Houston Big Ballers Updated 10/14/01 Holmes rushed for 150 yards and two TDs against Pittsburgh. Such good numbers against the Steelers prove Holmes has arrived as a quality Fantasy player. Ron Dayne, RB NYG - Texas Terminators Updated 10/14/01 Dayne started on Sunday against St. Louis despite a neck injury. He rushed for 88 yards and a score in New York's 15-14 loss, and may be solidifying his grasp on the featured back role for the G-Men. Kerry Collins, QB NYG - Texas Terminators Updated 10/14/01 Collins completed 18-of-32 passes for 250 yards and a touchdown on Sunday against St. Louis. However, he's still not a reliable starter Fantasy-wise despite his decent numbers against the Rams. Hines Ward, WR PIT - Team Chick Updated 10/14/01 Ward had another solid outing. While he caught four passes for only 38 yards, he did catch a five-yard TD pass, once again proving he is the only reliable wideout on the Pittsburgh roster, Kurt Warner, QB STL - Luccis Losers Updated 10/14/01 Warner left Sunday's game against the N.Y. Giants in the fourth quarter after having the wind knocked out of him. However, he returned to action after being sidelined for only one play. Elvis Grbac, QB BAL - Houston Big Ballers Updated 10/14/01 Grbac suffered a sprained neck in the first half of Sunday's game at Green Bay, but stayed in the game until the fourth quarter. He was finally replaced by Randall Cunningham when Green Bay took a 31-10 lead. Marshall Faulk, RB STL - Blue Balls Updated 10/14/01 Faulk left Sunday's game against the N.Y. Giants in the second half with a sprained MCL in his right knee. Trung Canidate replaced Faulk, who did not return to the game. Faulk is expected to miss up to four weeks due to the injury, so it might be a good idea for Fantasy owners to pick up Trung Canidate immediately. Bill Schroeder, WR GB - Grid Iron Goons Updated 10/14/01 Schroeder suffered an ankle injury just before halftime of Sunday's game. He did not return for the second half, although he was available and ready to play if needed. Steve McNair, QB TEN - Luccis Losers Updated 10/14/01 McNair left Sunday's game against Tampa Bay in the second quarter due to a twisted ankle. However, he did return to the game at the start of the second half. Patrick Jeffers, WR CAR - C-Dawg's Boyz Updated 10/14/01 Jeffers was declared inactive for the game against New Orleans. He is getting close to playing form, though, and might return to action in the near future. Nick Goings, RB CAR - Texas Terminators Updated 10/14/01 Goings was declared inactive for the game against New Orleans. Tim Biakabutuka and Richard Huntley are getting carries at halfback. Warrick Dunn, RB TB - President Taft Updated 10/14/01 Dunn is getting the majority of the work in Tampa Bay's backfield against Tennessee.
