He was already playing with a sor= e right hip that limited him in practice last week. "I will get an MRI in t= he morning and go from there," Johnson said. "Right now, they are saying th= at it's just a bruise. But we'll know more tomorrow. I probably could not h= ave played if they needed me to. I was in pretty bad pain." Emmitt Smith = , RB D! AL! - Bass/Hull Updated 10/28/01 Smith pronounced himself OK despit= e having his right knee wrapped after the Dallas Cowboys' 17-3 victory over= Arizona on Sunday. "It's throbbing a little bit right now, but I'll be all= right," Smith said. "I felt it. I knew what it was. I didn't know the degr= ee the injury was. It worried me a bit." But Smith was able to walk off t= he field without assistance. He said he expects to play next week at the Ne= w York Giants. Coach Dave Campo said Smith would be re-evaluated on Monday,= but said he was encouraged that Smith was walking around. Daunte Culpe= pper , QB MIN - Giggles Updated 10/28/01 According to published reports, Cu= lpepper suffered a broken nose in Sunday's game against Tampa Bay. He is no= t expected to miss any game action. Eddie Kennison , WR DEN - Free Agent U= pdated 10/28/01 Kennison rushed one time for 10 yards against New England, = and did not catch a pass. The veteran wideout has reverted back to statist= ical silence after a brief period of productivity. Mike Anderson , RB DEN= - Neal/McKay Updated 10/28/01 Anderson rushed for only 40 yards on 14 carr= ies against the Patriots. He did score on an eight-yard run! , ! but the Br= oncos let Olandis Gary carry the ball 10 times for 37 yards also. Denver ap= pears to have lost some confidence in Anderson this year. David Patten , W= R NE - Free Agent Updated 10/28/01 Patten caught five passes for 62 yards a= nd a TD at Denver. He should continue to be a scoring threat as long as he = remains one of New England's top two receivers. Troy Brown , WR NE - Bass/= Hull Updated 10/28/01 Brown caught nine passes for 86 yards and a TD at Den= ver. He also carried the ball one time for 31 yards. Brown will always be a= big-play threat against the weaker defensive teams on the Patriots' schedu= le. Curtis Conway , WR SD - Giggles Updated 10/28/01 Conway caught nine pa= sses for 120 yards against Buffalo, In the past, Conway was a disappoitment= , but now he is working well with Doug Flutie and staying healthy. Conway i= s finally performing up to expectations as a Fantasy wideout. Freddie Jone= s , TE SD - Neal/McKay Updated 10/28/01 Jo! ne! s overcame a sprained ankle= to play against the Bills, and caught two passes for five yards. One of hi= s catches was good for a one-yard TD, and Jones may now get much of his num= bers on short TD catches. Doug Flutie seems to prefer his wideouts over the= tight end when the Chargers are outside the red zone. Larry Centers , RB = BUF - Free Agent Updated 10/28/01 Centers was limited to eight receiving ya= rds on four catches by San Diego. The Bills ideally want to get the ball do= wnfield to their wideouts and Jay Riemersma, so don't expect good numbers f= rom Centers ecery week. Peerless Price , WR BUF - Free A! ge! nt Updated 1= 0/28/01 Price caught eight passes for 151 yards and a TD at San Diego. Whil= e Price is still inconsistent, he appears to have improved enough to start = for Fantasy teams occasionally. Matt Hasselbeck , QB SEA - Bass/Hull Updat= ed 10/28/01 Hasselbeck had his best game as a pro, throwing for 230 yards, = two TDs and no interceptions. But he continued to have some troubles comple= ting key passes and getting the ball downfield on important downs. Shaun A= lexander , RB SEA - JWillie Updated 10/28/01 ! The Dolphins held Alexander = to 87 yards on 23 carries. Considering the strength of the Miami defense, A= lexander's final numbers looked respectable, but he also fumbled twice. The= Seattle RB will continue to post good yardage numbers, but the league's be= tter defenses might limit his overall output. Oronde Gadsden , WR MIA - Ma= tty Updated 10/28/01 Gadsden caught only one pass for 15 yards at Seattle. = Miami's No. 1 wideout is not playing well enough to be anything more than a= Fantasy backup. James McKnight , WR MIA - Free Agent Updated 10/28/01 McK= night caught eight passes for 94 yards and a TD at Seattle, but also lost a= fumble. The Miami receiver continues to be erratic and occasionally produc= tive. Ron Dayne , RB NYG - Neal/McKay Updated 10/28/01 Dayne was held to j= ust 19 yards on eight carries by Washington. He is not putting up consisten= tly good numbers, and should not start for most Fantasy teams right now. A= mani Toomer , WR NYG - Tori Updated 10/28/01 Toomer caught nine passes for = 109 yards and a TD against Washington. He remains a must-start Fantasy play= er, no matter w! ha! t the opposition is. Stephen Davis , RB WAS - Bass/Hu= ll Updated 10/28/01 Davis rushed for 107 yards against the Giants, but was = held out of the end zone again. He is still running for good yardage, but t= he Redskins continue to score via the pass when they are able to move the b= all. Tony Banks , QB WAS - Free Agent Updated 10/28/01 Banks threw for 190= yards, two TDs and was not intercepted by the Giants. Right, now the errat= ic QB is playing well enough to be used as a Fantasy reserve. Duce Staley = , RB PHI - Giggles Updated 10/28/01 Staley played Sunday against Oakland bu= t was held to 19 yards and a touchdown on three carries, with two catches f= or 35 yards. He was going up against a tough Raiders' rush defense, and sho= uld post better stats in future weeks. However, it bears noting that Correl= l Buckhalter led the Eagles with seven carries, which suggests that neither= back is the clear go-to guy right now. That makes both risky starts. Char= lie Garner , RB OAK - Russell Updated 10/28/01 Garner rushed 21 times for 7= 7 yards and a touchdown Sund! ay! at Philadelphia. This outing could put hi= m firmly in place as the Raiders' featured back while Tyrone Wheatley remai= ns sidelined. Rich Gannon , QB OAK - Martin Updated 10/28/01 Gannon passed= for just 158 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's game at= Philadelphia. He was facing a tall challenge in the Eagles' secondary, and= we expect he will rebound with better stats in future weeks. Donovan McNa= bb , QB PHI - Russell Updated 10/28/01 McNabb passed for just 133 yards and= no touchdowns Sunday against Oakland, but he didn't get intercepted either= . It was asking a lot for him to post great stats against the Raiders' defe= nse, but this was still a disappointment. McNabb is in a bit of a slump rig= ht now, but he should break out of it and be a useful Fantasy quarterback o= ver the second half of the season. Michael Pittman , RB ARI - Matty Update= d 10/28/01 Pittman rushed 16 times for just 29 yards Sunday at Dallas. He h= asn't been much better than Thomas Jones this season, and we don't think ei= ther player will be a reliable Fantasy option for the remainder of the year= . David Boston , WR ARI - Bass/Hull Updated 10/28/01 Boston caught nine pa= sses for 108 yards in Sunday's game at Dallas. While Jake Plummer has been = an inconsistent quarterback from a Fantasy perspective, Boston has proven a= worthy player because he gets most of the looks in the Arizona passing gam= e. He's easily a solid No. 2 receiver on any team. Jake Plummer , QB ARI -= Frank Updated 10/28/01 Plummer passed for 233 yards, no touchdowns and two= interceptions in Sunday's game at Dallas, further exhibiting how inconsist= ent he can be. Unless the matchup dictates otherwise, you shouldn't rely on= him for useful stats on a weekly basis. Cowboys , DT DAL - Free Agent Up= dated 10/28/01 The Cowboys held the Cardinals to three points Sunday, and r= ecorded two sacks and two interceptions in the game. Dallas' defense has be= en somewhat decent from a Fantasy perspective based on the matchup, but don= 't let this performance fool you into believing that this unit will give yo= u consistent stats week in and week out. Clint Stoerner , QB DAL - Free Ag= ent Updated 10/28/01 Stoerner completed 9-of-18 passes for 93 yards, no tou= chdowns and an interception while rushing for seven times for 23 yards and = a score ! in! Sunday's game against Arizona. These numbers aren't great for= the Fantasy owner, and they came against a weak Cardinals' secondary. We d= on't recommend Stoerner for your team based on this outing. Emmitt Smith ,= RB DAL - Bass/Hull Updated 10/28/01 Smith left Sunday's game against Arizo= na late in the fourth quarter with a right knee injury after accumulating 8= 3 rushing yards on 21 carries. He will be evaluated shortly. Rob Johnson ,= QB BUF - Giggles Updated 10/28/01 Johnson left Sunday's game in the third = quarter with an apparent knee injury. He was taken to the locker room for f= urther examination and was briefly replaced by Alex Van Pelt before he retu= rned.
