He has be= en one of the best runners in the AFC and will help carry your team to Fant= asy glory. Corey Dillon , Active RB Updated 12/21/01 Dillon missed practi= ce Thursday because of a finger injury but The Cincinnati Post reports that= he is expected to play Sunday.

Derrick Mason , Active WR Updated 12/21/01= Mason is expected to play Saturday, despite suffering from a hip injury. L= ook for him to be an adequate No. 2 wideout. Maurice Smith , Reserve RB U= pdated 12/21/01 A banged-up Smith hasn't done much statistically in recent = weeks. Don't depend on him during the Fantasy playoffs.

Denver is still = coping with injury issues at wide receiver. Darnay Scott , Active WR Updat= ed 12/02/01 Scott caught four passes for 30 yards against Tampa Bay.

Adam Vinatieri , Reserve K Updated 12/13/00 Vinatieri has b= een one of the league's most accurate placekickers in recent weeks, convert= ing on 18 of his last 19 field goal attempts. He should get his chances aga= inst the Bills this week, especially if Buffalo's defense struggles like it= did on Monday night. Unless you have one of the league's elite kickers on = your roster, giving Vinatieri the start is a good idea. [IMAGE] Copyrigh= t 2001 Commissioner.COM Inc and SportsLine.com Inc.
