Line= backer Mike Barrow has a hip pointer, but should be able to play in the gam= e as well with some extra padding. CB Will Allen has a sprained ankle, and = his status against the Eagles is questionable at this point. Ryan Leaf , = QB DAL Updated 10/17/01 According to the Dal! la! s Morning News , Leaf wi= ll get his chance to win the starting QB job in the next few weeks. "If we'= re going to get an evaluation on him, this is the open window," coach Dave = Campo said. "At this point, I don't know if he's going to be any more than = the third quarterback, but this is the window of opportunity." In any event= , Leaf's value as a Fantasy player will be very minimal. Joey Galloway , = WR DAL Updated 10/17/01 Galloway (ankle) is expected to take this week off= from practice in order to rest his injury. He will be re-evaluated next Mo= nday, at which time his status for the Oct. 28 game against Arizona will be= determined. Reggie Swinton , WR DAL Updated 10/17/01 Swinton (hamstring= ) will not practice this week in order to rest his injury. He will be re-ev= aluated next Monday, at which time his status for the Oct. 28 game against = Arizona will be determined. Robert Thomas , RB DAL Updated 10/17/01 Thom= as had an MRI performed on his sprained left ankle Monday, and is expected = to miss at least one game. Thomas has no real Fantasy value at this point. = Matt Hasselbeck , QB SEA Updated 10/16/01 Hasselbeck is scheduled to sta= rt the Seahawks' next game October 28 against Miami due to a ! gr! oin inju= ry suffered by Trent Dilfer on Sunday. "Matt has had a couple of weeks to w= atch. He's champing at the bit to prove whatever he has to prove," Head Coa= ch Mike Holmgren told the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. We don't recommend Ha= sselbeck as a Fantasy starter right now, especially against the Dolphins' d= efense in Week Seven. Trent Dilfer , QB SEA Updated 10/16/01 Dilfer suffe= red a pulled groin during Sunday's game against Denver, and he is not expec= ted to be able to play October 28 against Miami, according to the Seattle P= ost-Intelligencer. "There's more to it than just a normal groin pull. We'll= just leave it at that," Seahawks Head Coach Mike Holmgren said Monday. "He= 's injured, and he won't practice this week." Dilfer is probably the better= Fantasy option of the two, but don't expect him to be able to help your te= am for the next two weeks. Tony Richardson , RB KC Updated 10/16/01 Chie= fs Head Coach Dick Vermeil said Monday there is a chance Richardson could p= lay Sunday in Arizona, according to the Kansas City Star. Richardson is bat= tling a shoulder injury. Tyrone Wheatley , RB OAK Updated 10/16/01 Wheatl= ey had an MRI exam on Monday to determine the extent of the damage he susta= ined to his right knee Sunday in Indianapolis. The results were expected ba= ck Tuesday. Lamar Smith , RB MIA Updated 10/16/01 Smith was in a ! wa! lk= ing 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. Brian Griese , QB DEN Updated 10/1= 6/01 The Broncos 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 previ= ous shoulder surgeries. Griese is questionable for Wednesday's practice as = well as Sunday's game, and if he's out, expect Gus Frerotte to get the star= t. Rob Johnson , QB BUF Updated 10/16/01 Johnson has been listed as proba= ble for Thursday's game in Jacksonville despite a neck injury. He hasn't be= en a reliable Fantasy quarterback all year, and there's no reason to believ= e that will change this week. Don't use Johnson. Jamal Anderson , RB ATL = Updated 10/16/01 Anderson underwent successful surgery to repair the torn A= CL in his left knee Tuesday. Anderson has already been placed on injured re= serve and is out for the remainder of the 2001 season. Marshall Faulk , R= B STL Updated 10/16/01 Faulk has not been ruled out of Sunday'! s ! game a= gainst the New York Jets despite a bruised right knee. "He really could pos= sibly play this week," coach Mike Martz said. "We're not going to rule the = possibility of him playing completely out." If Faulk is unable to go, howev= er, Trung Canidate will be the featured back in the game. At this point, it= 's tough to make a decision on whether or not to start Faulk Fantasy-wise, = so monitor the situation throughout the week. Justin McCareins , WR TEN = Updated 10/16/01 McCareins will be sidelined six to eight weeks after break= ing his ankle Sunday on a kickoff return. He is scheduled to have surgery o= n 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 Updated 10/16/01 Berlin, a rookie receiver used m= ostly 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 Updated 10/16/01 Browns' head coach Butch Davis told Th= e Akron Plain-Dealer that Northcutt will get a lot of playing time this wee= k against the Ravens. Don't expect Northcutt to be too productive, but he i= s a decent pickup if you need an extra wideout this week. Peter Warrick ,= WR CIN Updated 10/16/01 Warrick is listed as probable for Sunday's game a= gainst the Bears. He is recovering from a bruised left shoulder. Marco Bat= taglia , TE CIN Updated 10/16/01 Battaglia is listed as probable for Sund= ay's game against the Bears. He is suffering from a strained left shoulder.= Elvis Grbac , QB BAL Updated 10/16/01 Grbac was feeling woozy and nursi= ng a headache Monday, the result of the most severe concussion he's receive= d 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 Baltim= ore 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 him= self fit enough to play. "I'm still a little foggy, and my wife was waking = me up! e! very few hours to see if I was alive," he said, "but I'm feeling = OK and I'll be ready." Redskins , DT WAS Updated 10/16/01 Washington = cornerback Fred Smoot suffered a sprained left knee during Monday's game ag= ainst Dallas. He was on crutches after sustaining the injury and is current= ly listed as day-to-day. Stephen Alexander , TE WAS Updated 10/16/01 Ale= xander suffered a sprained right ankle during Monday night's loss to Washin= gton. He was seen using crutches on the sidelines and is listed as day-to-d= ay. Duce Staley , RB PHI Updated 10/16/01 According to Eagles' coach And= y Reid, Staley will be the starting tailback on Monday night against the N.= Y. Giants. However, Staley is expected to split carries with Correll Buckha= lter, which will make it tough to play him Fantasy-wsie. Joe Jurevicius ,= WR NYG Updated 10/16/01 Jurevicius suffered a rib injury during Sunday's = game against St. Louis. The injury is not considered serious, however, so e= xpect Jurevicius to be in the starting lineup on Monday against Philadelphi= a. Bill Schroeder , WR GB Updated 10/16/01 Schroeder (ankle) informed He= ad 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 un= til later in the week, but we expect him to go. Joey Galloway , WR DAL U= pdated 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 s= hould have amble time to recover from the injury in time for the team's nex= t game. Reggie Swinton , WR DAL Updated 10/16/01 Swinton suff! er! ed 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 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 Updated= 10/16/01 Carter underwent successful surgery to repair the tendon that att= aches 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 Updat= ed 10/16/01 Ismail (knee) returned to action on Monday night against Washin= gton. He finished with three catches for 50 yards, but didn't make much of = an impact Fantasy-wise. More Updates [IMAGE] Copyright 2001 Commissione= r.COM Inc and SportsLine.com Inc.
