"We'll cross that bridge when we come to it,"= Holmgren said. "I would be surprised if I didn't insert Ricky back into th= e lineup. He was our best player when he got hurt. Shaun (Alexander) has co= me in and played well. But I would suspect that when Ricky can play, he'll = play again." If you have the roster room, it would be a good idea to stash = both backs on your team to ensure you're safe if Watters takes the job back= from Alexander down the stretc! h.! Trent Dilfer , QB SEA - Free Agent U= pdated 10/23/01 Dilfer was unable to practice on Monday due to a groin inju= ry. He has lost the starting QB job to Matt Hasselbeck, and shouldn't be on= any Fantasy rosters at this point. Matt Hasselbeck , QB SEA - Bass/Hull U= pdated 10/23/01 Hasselbeck will be the Seahawks' starting quarterback for S= unday's game against Miami, according to the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. He= replaces Trent Dilfer, who stood in for Hasselbeck as he was sidelined wit= h a pulled groin. This isn't a very favorable matchup for Hasselbeck from! = a! Fantasy perspective, so don't use him this week. Wayne Chrebet , WR NYJ= - JWillie Updated 10/23/01 The Jets have listed Chrebet as questionable fo= r next Sunday's game at Carolina. He will have an MRI on Tuesday to determi= ne the extent of the concussion he suffered Sunday against the Rams. Dedri= c Ward , WR MIA - Free Agent Updated 10/23/01 Ward missed Monday's practice= due to a foot injury. He is expected to miss Sunday's game at Seattle, and= isn't a useful Fantasy player at this point in the season. Lamar Smith , = RB MIA - Neal/McKay Updated 10/23/01 Smith did not practice Monday due to a= n ankle injury. He is still expected to play Sunday in Seattle, so don't be= afraid to use him this week. Marvin Minnis , WR KC - Free Agent Updated 1= 0/23/01 Chiefs Head Coach Dick Vermail said Monday that Minnis might start = ahead of Chris Thomas in Thursday's game against Indianapolis. We don't rec= ommend you use either receiver despite the fact that the Colts' secondary i= s hardly imposing. Neither player is going to be a clear-cut starter this w= eek. Jerome Pathon , WR IND - Tori Upd! at! ed 10/23/01 Pathon might miss = his third straight game Thursday at Kansas City due to a sprained right foo= t. Don't use him this week. Terrence Wilkins , WR IND - Free Agent Updated= 10/23/01 Wilkins is questionable for Thursday's game at Kansas City due to= broken ribs. We don't recommend you use him in a Fantasy league this week.= Terrell Davis , RB DEN - JWillie Updated 10/23/01 Davis is still targetin= g Sunday's game against New England as his comeback game from arthroscopic = knee surgery, but the Broncos have not decided whether they will activate h= im! . ! He will work in practice this week and the Broncos hope to know by = Wednesday whether Davis can play. We don't recommend you use Davis in a Fan= tasy league unless it's absolutely certain he's Denver's starting running b= ack and is 100 percent healthy. Warrick Dunn , RB TB - Martin Updated 10/= 23/01 According to the St. Petersburg Times, Dunn doesn't have a hamstring = strain, as was originally reported. Dunn won't practice until late in the w= eek, however, but he is expected to play on Sunday against Minnesota. Duc= e Staley , RB PHI - Giggles Updated 10/23/01 Staley started Monday's game a= gainst the N.Y. Giants, but he didn't finish it. Staley carried the ball ju= st three times for 22 yards, and was spelled late in the game by rookie Cor= rell Buckhalter, who gained 34 yards on 11 carries lat! e ! in the game. At= this point, it's tough to depend on Staley to post consistent Fantasy numb= ers, so consider reserving him if your roster allows for a solid replacemen= t. Joe Nedney , K TEN - Free Agent Updated 10/23/01 Nedney suffered a nec= k injury in Sunday's game but is expected to play this week. Erron Kinney= , TE TEN - Free Agent Updated 10/23/01 Kinney will be listed on the injury= report because of a calf injury. However, he is expected to play in this w= eek's game. Kevin Dyson , WR TEN - Bass/Hull Updated 10/23/01 Dyson is re= covering from a thumb injury but is expected to play in Monday's game again= st the Steelers. He is expected to participate in practice. Eddie George ,= RB TEN - Tori Updated 10/23/01 George suffered a thumb injury in Sunday's = game. He is expected to play in this week's game. Steve McNair , QB TEN -= Martin Updated 10/23/01 McNair is suffering from a sore ankle as a result = of a play in Sunday's game. However, he is expected to play in this week's = game. Chris Sanders , WR TEN - Free Agent Updated 10/23/01 The Tennessea= n reports that Sanders has a disc problem in his back. The reserve receiver= is expected to see a specialist this week. Treatment options consist of re= st, an injection, or surgery. Don't expect Sanders to play anytime soon. Ro= okie Drew Bennett will play in his absence. Damon Jones , TE JAC - Free A= gent Updated 10/23/01 Jones is expected to resume practicing on Wednesday. = An MRI on his shoulder showed that his injury would not require surgery. = Fred Taylor , RB JAC - Martin Updated 10/23/01 Taylor has been ruled out of= Sunday's game against Baltimore and his status for next week's game remain= s uncertain. "All I know is that, from week to week, they increase his exer= cises and change of direction," head coach Tom Coughlin told The Florida Ti= mes-Union. "It remains to be seen when Fred will be able to play. Progress = is slow. I'm hoping he responds well this week, then we can make some kind = of legitimate guess [about a return date] next week." Taylor has been inact= ive since severely injuring his groin on Sept 23. Dennis Northcutt , WR= CLE - Free Agent Updated 10/23/01 Northcutt left Sunday's game because of = a concussion. He is expected to play when the Browns return to action next = week. Todd Heap , TE BAL - Free Agent Updated 10/23/01 Heap did not play = Sunday but head coach Brian Billick told The Baltimore Sun he is optimistic= that the rookie will play in this week's game. Heap has been inactive for = the last four games because of a sprained ankle. Terry Allen , RB BAL - T= ori Updated 10/23/01 Allen, who left after the fifth play of Sunday's game = with a sprained ankle, is questionable for this week's game. Jason Brookins= will start at running back if Allen is inactive. Elvis Grbac , QB BAL - = Tori ! Updated 10/23/01 Coach Brian Billick expects Grbac to be ready for S= unday's game against Jacksonville, but the quarterback wasn't so sure. "I'm= day-to-day. I'm feeling pretty sore in the chest area," Grbac said Monday.= "There could be something going on with the cartilage. I haven't picked up= a ball or thrown a ball, so we'll just have to wait and see." Randall Cunn= ingham will replace Grbac if he is unable to play. Az-Zahir Hakim , WR = STL - Neal/McKay Updated 10/23/01 Hakim suffered a calf injury during Sunda= y's blowout win over the New York Jets. However, he is expected to be avail= able for this weekend's game against New Orleans. Trung Canidate , RB STL= - Giggles Updated 10/23/01 According to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Canid= ate is expected to start in place of Marshall Faulk this weekend against Ne= w Orleans. "I wouldn't expect Marshall to be up for this game," coach Mike = Martz said. "He's got to be 100 percent before I would be convinced that we= 've got to let him play. And if he's not, then he doesn't play." Canidate p= roved himself as a worthy replacement last Sunday against the Jets, and sho= uld be starting from a Fantasy perspective again this week. J.J. Stokes= , WR SF - Matty Updated 10/23/01 Stokes spent much of the bye week tending= to his injured legs, and is close to being completely healthy. "Thankfully= the bye week came so early. It was a blessing for me because I was abl! e = ! to get treatment every day," Stokes told the Contra Costa Times . "I prac= ticed today good. I wouldn't say I'm 100 percent but I'm darn close." Stoke= s has been less than mediocre, however, so don't use him as a regular start= er unless he proves himself to be more reliable. Ike Hilliard , WR NYG - = Russell Updated 10/23/01 Hilliard continues to improve each week, and is no= w back in the Giants' starting lineup. Hilliard led the G-Men with six catc= hes for 80 yards on Monday night against Philadelphia, and looked as though= his surgically-repaired foot is almost completely healed. Ron Dixon , WR= NYG - Free Agent Updated 10/23/01 Dixon missed Monday night's 10-9 loss to= the Philadelphia Eagles due to a sprained ankle. The reserve wideout is da= y-to-day. Marshall Faulk , RB STL - Matty Updated 10/23/01 According to H= ead Coach Mike Martz, Faulk is questionable for Sunday's game against New O= rleans. "I'm just taking the same posture that we did a week ago," Martz sa= id. "I would not expect Marshall to be up (active) for this game. He's got = to be 100 percent before I'll be convinced that we've got to let him play."= Trung Canidate would once again start in Faulk's absence is he's unable to= go.
