To customi= ze, reschedule, or turn off these reports please click here NFL Reports= , Player Updates [IMAGE]Latest NFL Player News Rod Smith , WR DEN - G mon= ey 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 Thursday's g= ame against Dallas. He suffered the injury Nov. 11, and aggravated it durin= g Sunday's game. You should probably play it safe and keep Smith on your be= nch for this week. Temper your expectations for the entire Broncos' offense= as well - the Cowboys' D isn't the pushover many believed it would be prio= r to the season. Shaun Alexander , RB SEA - God Upda! te! d 11/20/01 With = Ricky Watters expected to miss another two to three weeks, Alexander will r= emain the focal point of many contending Fantasy teams during their charge = to the playoffs. He should roll up some fine numbers against the Chiefs thi= s week. Tom Brady , QB NE - God Updated 11/20/01 The Patriots will stick w= ith 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. Brady is a solid = Fantasy starter right now, but add Bledsoe to your roster as an insurance p= olicy if you can. Jo! na! than Quinn , QB JAC - Free Agent Updated 11/20/= 01 Quinn may have to start in place of Mark Brunell (quadriceps) again this= week. Brunell's status is still unclear for Sunday's game. Ricky Watters = , RB SEA - God Updated 11/20/01 Watters' shoulder has not sufficiently heal= ed enough for him to practice, says the Seattle Times. He is not expected t= o return for another two to three weeks, meaning Shaun Alexander will conti= nue to be a key performer for many Fantasy teams as the postseason comes in= to view. Doug Flutie , QB SD - Starboy ! Updated 11/20/01 Mike Riley told = the San Diego Union-Tribune there is no QB controversy involving Flutie and= rookie Drew Brees. "Doug is going to be our quarterback," he said. "You ca= n talk about controversy all you want, but there is none within this buildi= ng. He is our quarterback. He will start. He will get us the next win the n= ext week." Still, Flutie is not playing well enought to satisfy most Fantas= y owners. Mark Bruener , TE PIT - Free Agent Updated 11/20/01 Bruener will= miss the rest of the season after undergoing shoulder injury. His loss may= adversely affect Jerome Bettis' statistics, because Bruener is widely rega= rded as the best run-blocking tight end in football. Tyrone Wheatley , RB = OAK - El-Gato Updated 11/20/01 Wheatley told the Contra-Costa Times he is n= o longer being bothered by a knee injury. He expects to play on Sunday. Er= ron Kinney , TE TEN - G money Updated 11/20/01 Kinney (calf) may play this = week after missing three games. He was expected to return to practice early= this week. Frank Wycheck , TE TEN - El-Gato Updated 11/20/01 Wycheck (cal= f) will be limited in practice this week. He may be a risky start in Week 1= 1. Steve McNair , QB TEN - Beegs Boys Updated 11/20/01 The Tennessean says= McNair's hand was sore when he arrived at the team's practice facility on = Monday. Jeff Fisher now says he doesn't expect him to miss any practice tim= e this week. Derrick Alexander , WR KC - G money Updated 11/20/01 Alexand= er (ribs) has returned to practice. He is expected to start against Seattle= . Marvin Minnis , WR KC - R-Diddy Updated 11/20/01 Minnis (ankle) is liste= d as doubtful for Sunday's game. Larry Parker may have to start in his plac= e, Reggie Wayne , WR IND - Free Agent Updated 11/20/01 Wayne has a spraine= d knee ligament, and is doubtful for Sunday's game against New Orleans. Ter= rence Wilkins may have to start in his place. Jerome Pathon , WR IND - Fre= e Agent Updated 11/! 20! /01 Pathon (foot) is done for the season. He will = be put on injured reserve. Reggie Wayne (knee) is also hurting, meaning Ter= rence Wilkins might have to be moved back into the starting lineup. Jay F= iedler , QB MIA - Kar Bombs Updated 11/20/01 Dave Wannstedt told the Miami = Herald there is no QB controversy surrounding Fielder and backup Ray right = now. ``That's kind of hypothetical,'' he said. ``Jay is the starter, and my= only comment is we're going to get it squared away and play turnover-free = football.'' Rod Smith , WR DEN - G money Updated 11/20/01 Mike Shanahan s= aid he does not know if Smith (ankle) will be sufficiently healed to play i= n Thursday's game against the Cowboys. "We'll get a chance to evaluate that= during the week and see," Shanahan told the Denver Post. "If he can help o= ur 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 Updated 11/20/0= 1 The Cleveland Plain-Dealer says Butch Davis won't indicate how much Gay w= ill play in the near future. "We'll try to get him involved in some of the = games," Davis said. "We'll see." Kevin Lockett , WR WAS - Free Agent Upda= ted 11/20/01 Lockett, who suffered a rib injury last weekend against Denver= , expects to play on Sunday against Philadelphia. However, the wide receive= r has no real value as a Fantasy player at this point. Tony Banks , QB WA= S - Free Agent Updated 11/20/01 Barring any setbacks, Banks will start Sund= ay's game against Philadelphia. Banks, who suffered a concussion last weeke= nd vs. Denver, hasn't been feeling any after effects of the injury and shou= ld be under center for the 'Skins. Jacquez Green , WR TB - Beegs Boys Upd= ated 11/20/01 Green (abdomen) is expected to return to practice on Wednesda= y at full strength. He's been inconsistent this season, and is best used wh= en the matchup is favorable. Terrell Owens , WR SF - God Updated 11/20/01= Owens suffered a sprained left knee and ankle during the overtime session = of last weekend's game against Carolina. The injuries aren't considered ser= ious, however, and Owens is expected to be in the starting lineup on Sunday= Indianapolis. Cecil Martin , RB PHI - Free Agent Updated 11/20/01 Martin= suffered a hamstring injury during Sunday's game against Dallas. He'll mis= s a few days of practice, but is expected to play in this weekend's game ag= ainst Washington. Martin has no real value as a Fantasy player, but he is a= key blocker for Duce Staley. Giants , DT NYG - Starboy Updated 11/20/01= According to the New York Post , cornerback Jason Sehorn's surgically-repa= ired right knee began giving him problems again this past weekend. In fact,= the team was unsure that he'd be able to cover either Randy Moss or Cris C= arter on Monday night, but he played anyway. If he continues to play on a b= ad wheel, you should consider starting any receivers opposing Sehorn the re= st of the season. Elvis Grbac , QB BAL - Beegs Boys Updated 11/20/01 The = Baltimore Sun says there is no indication that Grbac will be replaced as th= e team's starting QB. Still, he is not performing well enough to start for = most Fantasy teams. Donald Driver,! WR GB - Free Agent Updated 11/20/01Dri= ver is still dealing with a thigh injury, and is expected to miss Thursday'= s game against Detroit. The reserve wideout has no real value as a Fantasy = player at this point. Ravens , DT BAL - BCWD's Updated 11/20/01 Defensive= end Michael McCrary will miss the rest of the season after undergoing knee= surgery. His loss will certainly lower the sack output of the Baltimore de= fense and may mean the team will allow more passing yardage than usual. = Cowboys , DT DAL - Beegs Boys Updated 11/20/01 Linebacker Dexter Coakley, w= ho was expected to miss two weeks due to a sprained knee, will likely get t= he start on Thursday after being out for just one game. He'll help keep Den= ver's running game in check, but don't expect his presence to give Dallas' = defense added Fantasy value as a whole. Emmitt Smith , RB DAL - Hurricane= s Updated 11/20/01 Smith (knee) will start on Thursday's game against Denve= r. "I'm not 100 percent, but I'm healthy enough to do my job," Smith told t= he Dallas Morning Star. He'll struggle to post solid Fantasy numbers due to= Dallas' horrid passing game, so bench him this week if at all possible. = Donald Hayes , WR CAR - Free Agent Updated 11/20/01 Hayes suffered bruise= d ribs during Sunday's game against San Francisco. He may miss some practic= e time this week, but he's expected to play this weekend against Atlanta. T= he Falcons secondary is one of the worst in the league, so Hayes could turn= into a good sleeper pick in Week 11.
