The Pant= hers secondary is one of the worst in the league, so starting Martin in dee= per Fantasy leagues may be worth considering. Frank Sanders , WR ARI - Fr= ee Agent Updated 11/21/01 Sanders is dealing with two tight hamstrings, but= he's expected to play on Sunday against San Diego. The Chargers' secondary= h! as! n't been playing well of late, so giving Sanders some consideration= in deeper leagues is advisable. David Boston , WR ARI - Bass/Hull Update= d 11/21/01 Boston has become one of the premier wide receivers in Fantasy F= ootball. He's posted three touchdowns and 217 yards receiving in his last t= wo games, and should have another solid game vs. San Diego in Week 11. To= m Brady , QB NE - Martin Updated 11/21/01 Patriots Head Coach Bill Belichic= k announced late Monday that Brady will remain the starting quarterback for= the remainder of the season, barring injury. This relegates Drew Bledsoe t= o a backup role and makes him useless from a Fantasy perspective. Brady mig= ht have his hands full passing against the Saints on Sunday, but he is a fa= irly safe weekly starter otherwise. Dolphins , DT MIA - Martin Updated 11= /21/01 Defensive tackle Daryl Gardener could miss the remainder of the seas= on due to a fragmented disc in his back. He will miss at least one month to= rest and rehabilitate the injury before being re-evaluated. Gardener's abs= ence hurts the Dolphins' rush defense, which might be burned a little more = by opposing running backs in the upcoming weeks. Marvin Minnis , WR KC - Fr= ee Agent Updated 11/21/01 Minnis is unlikely to be available for Sunday's g= ame against Seattle due to the sprained ankle he suffered during a Nov. 11 = game against the Jets. He will be replaced by Chris Thomas in the lineup at= split end, and you should keep him reserved for this week. Mark Brunell ,= QB JAC - JWillie Updated 11/21/01 Brunell's nagging leg injury might sidel= ine him for Sunday's game against Baltimore. He decided about two hours bef= ore last Sunday's kickoff that he couldn't play against Pittsburgh due to a= strained right quadriceps. Jonathan Quinn has been preparing as if he will= start the game, so right now you shouldn't count on Brunell this week as y= ou set your lineups. Fred Taylor , RB JAC - Martin Updated 11/21/01 Taylor= received a second medical opinion Tuesday that indicated his severe groin = injury could keep him out up to three months and possibly the remainder of = the season, according to the Florida Times-Union. The diagnosis was that th= e injury still has not healed and will need more time to become healthy, an= d in the meantime Taylor has developed pain ! in! his hip, a side effect of= the injury. It's sounding more and more like Taylor will not play again th= is Fantasy season, although you should probably hold onto him until a final= decision is reached, provided you have a deep enough bench. Rod Smith , W= R DEN - Matty Updated 11/21/01 Smith's sprained ankle was not healed enough= for him to practice on Tuesday, and there is a real chance he might miss T= hursday's game against Dallas. He suffered the injury Nov. 11, and aggravat= ed it during Sunday's game. You should probably play it safe and keep Smith= on your bench for this week. Temper your expectations for the entire Bronc= os' offense as well - the Cowboys' D isn't the pushover many believed it wo= uld be prior to the season. Shaun Alexander , RB SEA - JWillie Updated 11/= 20/01 With Ricky Watters expected to miss another two to three weeks, Alexa= nder will remain the focal point of many contending Fantasy teams during th= eir charge to the playoffs. He should roll up some fine numbers against the= Chiefs this week. Tom Brady , QB NE - Martin Updated 11/20/01 The Patriot= s will stick with Brady for now, and Drew Bledsoe will remain the team's No= . 2 QB. "I don't see any changes this week," coach Bill Belichick said. Bra= dy is a solid Fantasy starter right now, but add Bledsoe to your ! ro! ster= as an insurance policy if you can. Jonathan Quinn , QB JAC - Free Agent U= pdated 11/20/01 Quinn may have to start in place of Mark Brunell (quadricep= s) again this week. Brunell's status is still unclear for Sunday's game. R= icky Watters , RB SEA - Free Agent Updated 11/20/01 Watters' shoulder has n= ot sufficiently healed enough for him to practice, says the Seattle Times .= He is not expected to return for another two to three weeks, meaning Shaun= Alexander will continue to be a key performer for many Fantasy teams as th= e postseason comes into view. Doug Flutie , QB SD - Russell Updated 11/20/= 01 Mike Riley told the San Diego Union-Tribune there is no QB controversy i= nvolving Flutie and rookie Drew Brees. "Doug is going to be our quarterback= ," he said. "You can talk about controversy all you want, but there is none= within this building. He is our quarterback. He will start. He will get us= the next win the next week." Still, Flutie is not playing well enought to = satisfy most Fantasy owners. Mark Bruener , TE PIT - Free Agent Updated 11= /20/01 Bruener will miss the rest of the season after undergoing shoulder i= njury. His loss may adversely affect Jerome Bettis' statistics, because Bru= ener is widely regarded as the best run-blocking tight end in football. Ty= rone Wheatley , RB OAK - Giggles Updated 11/20/01 Wheatley told the Contra-= Costa Times he is no longer being bothered by a knee injury. He expects to = play on Sunday. Erron Kinney , TE TEN - Free Agent Updated 11/20/01Kinney = (calf) may play this week after missing three games. He was expected to ret= urn to practice early this week. Frank Wycheck , TE TEN - Matty Updated 11= /20/01 Wycheck (calf) will be limited in practice this week. He may be a ri= sky start in Week 11. Steve McNair , QB TEN - Free Agent Updated 11/20/01 = The Tennessean says McNair's hand was sore when he arrived at the team's pr= actice facility on Monday. Jeff Fisher now says he doesn't expect him to mi= ss any practice time this week. Derrick Alexander , WR KC - JWillie Updat= ed 11/20/01 Alexander (ribs) has returned to practice. He is expected to st= art against Seattle. Marvin Minnis , WR KC - Free Agent Updated 11/20/01 M= innis (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game. Larry Parker may hav= e to start in his place, Reggie Wayne , WR IND - Free Agent Updated 11/20/= 01 Wayne has a sprained knee ligament, and is doubtful for Sunday's game ag= ainst New Orleans. Terrence Wilkins may have to start in his place. Jerome= Pathon , WR IND - Tori Updated 11/20/01 Pathon (foot) is done for the seas= on. He will be put on injured reserve. Reggie Wayne (knee) is also hurting,= meaning Terrence Wilkins might have to be moved back into the starting lin= eup. Jay Fiedler , QB MIA - Tori Updated 11/20/01 Dave Wannstedt told the= Miami Herald there is no QB controversy surrounding Fielder and backup Ray= right now. ``! Th! at's kind of hypothetical,'' he said. ``Jay is the star= ter, and my only comment is we're going to get it squared away and play tur= nover-free football.'' Rod Smith , WR DEN - Matty Updated 11/20/01 Mike Sh= anahan said he does not know if Smith (ankle) will be sufficiently healed t= o play in Thursday's game against the Cowboys. "We'll get a chance to evalu= ate that during the week and see," Shanahan told the Denver Post. "If he ca= n help our football team, he'll play. If he's in a situation where he can't= perform at the level that we think can help our team, then we'll keep him = out and put somebody else in." Benjamin Gay , RB CLE - Free Agent Update= d 11/20/01 The Cleveland Plain-Dealer says Butch Davis won't indicate how m= uch Gay will play in the near future. "We'll try to get him involved in som= e of the games," Davis said. "We'll see." Kevin Lockett , WR WAS - Free A= gent Updated 11/20/01 Lockett, who suffered a rib injury last weekend again= st Denver, expects to play on Sunday against Philadelphia. However, the wid= e receiver has no real value as a Fantasy player at this point. Tony Bank= s , QB WAS - Free Agent Updated 11/20/01 Barring any setbacks, Banks will s= tart Sunday's game against Philadelphia. Banks, who suffered a concussion l= ast weekend vs. Denver, hasn't been feeling any after effects of the injury= and should be under center for the 'Skins. Jacquez Green , WR TB - Free = Agent Updated 11/20/01 Green (abdomen) is expected to return to practice on= Wednesday at full strength. He's been inconsistent this season, and is bes= t used when the matchup is favorable. Terrell Owens , WR SF - Martin Upda= ted 11/20/01 Owens suffered a sprained left knee and ankle during the over= time session of last weekend's game against Carolina. The injuries aren't c= onsidered serious, however, and Owens is expected to be in the starting lin= eup on Sunday Indianapolis.
