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, how! ev! er, 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 al= l possible. Chris Weinke , QB CAR - Tori Updated 10/17/01 Weinke missed p= ractice on Wednesday due to a thigh injury. However, Head Coach George Seif= ert expects the rookie quarterback to start on Sunday against Washington. I= f you need a quarterback this week, Weinke is a good choice facing a terrib= le Redskins' defense. Terance Mathis , WR ATL - Frank Updated 10/17/01 Ma= this (hand) returned to practice on Wednesday. He is expected to start on S= unday against New Orleans, but he's only worth starting in deeper leagues f= rom 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 line! up! Sunday at San Diego. H= e has recovered from a knee injury, and Broncos Head Coach Mike Shanahan wa= nts him to return by November 4. We don't recommend you use Davis this week= , although this development also makes it tough to recommend you start any = Broncos running back. Stacey Mack , RB JAC - Hunter Updated 10/17/01 Mack= will get a lot of carries this week but don't expect him to be too product= ive. He only gained 17 yards on nine carries in the Jaguars' previous. Ke= enan McCardell , WR JAC - Neal/McKay Updated 10/17/01 McCardell struggled i= n his first few games back from injury, but looked like his old self in the= previous game. Look for McCardell to play well this week and catch a lot o= f passes. Sean Dawkins , WR JAC - Free Agent Updated 10/17/01 Dawkins wi= ll 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 a= nd is expected to play in Week Six. Look for him to throw for over 200 yard= s 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 listed= 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 team.! 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 k= nees after the season. Henry has tendinitis in both knees, but it will not = affect him during the regular season. Jay Riemersma , TE BUF - Free Agent = Updated 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 = healthy again. Riemersma was being asked to block more often early in the y= ear, but he will now become more involved in the passing game. Jerome Path= on , WR IND - Tori Updated 10/17/01 It is not clear if Pathon (foot) will b= e able to play this week against the Patriots. Pathon missed Sunday's game = against Oakland. Reggie Wayne would start in Pathon's place if he cannot pl= ay again. Dedric Ward , WR MIA - Free Agent Updated 10/17/01 The Miami Her= ald says Ward had his foor placed in a boot because he had a problem with s= tress protection. The Dolphins do not know when he will return. Emmitt Smi= th , RB DAL - Bass/Hull Updated 10/17/01 According to the Dallas Morning St= ar, 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 Player! N! ews Teams [IMAGE] Neal/McKa= y Player News Keenan McCardell , Reserve WR Updated 10/17/01 McCardell str= uggled in his first few games back from injury, but looked like his old sel= f in the previous game. Look for McCardell to play well this week and catch= a lot of passes. Lamar Smith , Active RB Updated 10/16/01 Smith was in a= walking boot after suffering a sprained ankle during Sunday's game against= the Jets, according to the Miami Herald. He should be fine for Week Seven = when the Dolphins return from the bye week. Tony Richardson , Reserve RB U= pdated 10/16/01 Chiefs Head Coach Dick Vermeil said Monday there is a chanc= e Richardson could play Sunday in Arizona, according to the Kansas City Sta= r. Richardson is battling a shoulder injury. Tiki Barber , Reserve RB Upda= ted 10/16/01 Barber (hamstring) is expected to return to practice on Thursd= ay. Barring any setbacks, Barber will be available for Monday's game agains= t Philadelphia. With the emergence of Ron Dayne, however, Barber may see a = drop in his Fantasy value over the coming weeks. Vinny Testaverde , Reser= ve QB 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. Ro= n Dayne , Reserve RB Updated 10/14/01 Dayne started on Sunday against St. L= ouis 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 fo= r the G-Men. Peyton Manning , Active QB Updated 10/12/01 Manning should t= hrow at least two TD passes against Oakland. The Raiders' secondary runs ho= t and cold, and sometimes has trouble with marquee quarterbacks. Jerry Ric= e , Active WR Updated 10/12/01 Rice should have another good outing. He sho= uld draw inexperienced Indianapolis CB David Macklin in coverage, which mea= ns Rice will definitely be a TD threat again this week. Freddie Jones , Ac= tive TE Updated 10/12/01 Jones has been a disappointment so far this year. = Don't count on good numbers from him this week, because the Chargers will f= eature the run against New England. Mike Anderson , Active RB Updated 10/1= 2/01 Expect excellent numbers from Anderson this week. He always plays well= against Seattle, and the Seahawks still lack the talent to stop him from g= aining big chunks of yardage as the game wears on. Az-Zahir Hakim , Active= WR Updated 09/08/01 Hakim might see a few passes thrown his way during the= Rams' season opener Sunday in Philadelphia. However, his offensive potenti= al is limited as a No. 3 receiving threat, so his Fantasy ceiling isn't ver= y high. Shawn Bryson , Reserve RB Updated 08/23/01 Bryson suffered a sprai= ned ankle during practice on Thursday. He was scheduled to have X-rays late= r in the day, but the team has diagnosed it as a simple sprain at this poin= t. Bryson, who will be a game-time decision for this weekend's game at Cinc= innati, is worth a later-round flier at best on Draft Day. Broncos , Acti= ve DT Updated 08/23/01 Defensive tackle Chester McGlockton, who suffered a = slight ligament tear in his knee during Monday's preseason game, is expecte= d to be ready for the start of the regular season. Denver's defense has the= talent to be a solid unit from a Fantasy perspective, and will be one of t= he top ten defenses taken on Draft Day. Matt Stover , Active K Updated 12= /08/00 Stover needs just nine more field goals over the final three weeks o= f the season to break the NFL single-season record of 39 (Olindo Mare, 1999= ). Expect him to get plenty of chances against San Diego on Sunday, and ens= ure that he's in your active playoff lineup each week. [IMAGE] Copyright= 2001 Commissioner.COM Inc and SportsLine.com Inc.
