"We'll cross that bridge when we come to it," Holmgr= en said. "I would be surprised if I didn't insert Ricky back into the lineu= p. He was our best player when he got hurt. Shaun (Alexander) has come in a= nd played well. But I would suspect that when Ricky can play, he'll play ag= ain." If you have the roster room, it would be a good idea to stash both ba= cks on your team to ensure you're safe if Watters takes the job back from A= lexander down the stretch. Trent Dilfer , QB SEA - Free Agent Updated 10/2= 3/01 Dilfer was unable to practice on Monday due to a groin injury. He has = lost the starting QB job to Matt Hasselbeck, and shouldn't be on any Fantas= y rosters at this point. Matt Hasselbeck , QB SEA - Oper Error Updated 10/= 23/01 Hasselbeck will be the Seahawks' starting quarterback for Sunday's ga= me against Miami, according to the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. He replaces = Trent Dilfer, who stood in for Hasselbeck as he was sidelined with a pulled= groin. This isn't a very favorable matchup for Hasselbeck f! ro! m a Fanta= sy perspective, so don't use him this week. Wayne Chrebet , WR NYJ - Free = Agent Updated 10/23/01 The Jets have listed Chrebet as questionable for nex= t Sunday's game at Carolina. He will have an MRI on Tuesday to determine th= e extent of the concussion he suffered Sunday against the Rams. Dedric War= d , WR MIA - Free Agent Updated 10/23/01 Ward missed Monday's practice due = to a foot injury. He is expected to miss Sunday's game at Seattle, and isn'= t a useful Fantasy player at this point in the season. Lamar Smith , RB MI= A - God Updated 10/23/01 Smith did not practice Monday due to an ankle inju= ry. He is still expected to play Sunday in Seattle, so don't be afraid to u= se him this week. Marvin Minnis , WR KC - R-Diddy Updated 10/23/01 Chiefs = Head Coach Dick Vermail said Monday that Minnis might start ahead of Chris = Thomas in Thursday's game against Indianapolis. We don't recommend you use = either receiver despite the fact that the Colts' secondary is hardly imposi= ng. Neither player is going to be a clear-cut starter this week. Jerome Pa= thon , WR IND - Kar Bombs U! pdated 10/23/01 Pathon might miss his third st= raight game Thursday at Kansas City due to a sprained right foot. Don't use= him this week. Terrence Wilkins , WR IND - Free Agent Updated 10/23/01 Wi= lkins is questionable for Thursday's game at Kansas City due to broken ribs= . We don't recommend you use him in a Fantasy league this week. Terrell Da= vis , RB DEN - Tacos Updated 10/23/01 Davis is still targeting Sunday's gam= e against New England as his comeback game from arthroscopic knee surgery, = but the Broncos have not decided whether they will activate him! . ! He wil= l work in practice this week and the Broncos hope to know by Wednesday whet= her Davis can play. We don't recommend you use Davis in a Fantasy league un= less it's absolutely certain he's Denver's starting running back and is 100= percent healthy. Warrick Dunn , RB TB - Perrito-style Updated 10/23/01 A= ccording to the St. Petersburg Times, Dunn doesn't have a hamstring strain,= as was originally reported. Dunn won't practice until late in the week, ho= wever, but he is expected to play on Sunday against Minnesota. Duce Stale= y , RB PHI - Hurricanes Updated 10/23/01 Staley started Monday's game again= st the N.Y. Giants, but he didn't finish it. Staley carried the ball just t= hree times for 22 yards, and was spelled late in the game by rookie Correll= Buckhalter, who gained 34 yards on 11! c! arries late in the game. At this= point, it's tough to depend on Staley to post consistent Fantasy numbers, = so consider reserving him if your roster allows for a solid replacement. = Joe Nedney , K TEN - Oper Error Updated 10/23/01 Nedney suffered a neck inj= ury in Sunday's game but is expected to play this week. Erron Kinney , TE= TEN - G money Updated 10/23/01 Kinney will be listed on the injury report = because of a calf injury. However, he is expected to play in this week's ga= me. Kevin Dyson , WR TEN - Free Agent Updated 10/23/01 Dyson is recoveri= ng from a thumb injury but is expected to play in Monday's game against the= Steelers. He is expected to participate in practice. Eddie George , RB TE= N - BCWD's Updated 10/23/01 George suffered a thumb injury in Sunday's game= . He is expected to play in this week's game. Steve McNair , QB TEN - Bee= gs Boys Updated 10/23/01 McNair is suffering from a sore ankle as a result = of a play in Sunday's game. However, he is expected to play in this week's = game. Chris Sanders , WR TEN - Free Agent Updated 10/23/01 The Tennessea= n reports that Sanders has a disc problem in his back. The reserve receiver= is expected to see a specialist this week. Treatment options consist of re= st, an injection, or surgery. Don't expect Sanders to play anytime soon. Ro= okie Drew Bennett will play in his absence. Damon Jones , TE JAC - Starbo= y Updated 10/23/01 Jones is expected to resume practicing on Wednesday. An = MRI on his shoulder showed that his injury would not require surgery. Fre= d Taylor , RB JAC - Starboy Updated 10/23/01 Taylor has been ruled out of S= unday's game against Baltimore and his status for next week's game remains = uncertain. "All I know is that, from week to week, they increase his exerci= ses and change of direction," head coach Tom Coughlin told The Florida Time= s-Union. "It remains to be seen when Fred will be able to play. Progress is= slow. I'm hoping he responds well this week, then we can make some kind of= legitimate guess [about a return date] next week." Taylor has been inactiv= e since severely injuring his groin on Sept 23. Dennis Northcutt , WR C= LE - Free Agent Updated 10/23/01 Northcutt left Sunday's game because of a = concussion. He is expected to play when the Browns return to action next we= ek. Todd Heap , TE BAL - Kar Bombs Updated 10/23/01 Heap did not play Sun= day but head coach Brian Billick told The Baltimore Sun he is optimistic th= at the rookie will play in this week's game. Heap has been inactive for the= last four games because of a sprained ankle. Terry Allen , RB BAL - Beeg= s Boys Updated 10/23/01 Allen, who left after the fifth play of Sunday's ga= me with a sprained ankle, is questionable for this week's game. Jason Brook= ins will start at running back if Allen is inactive. Elvis Grbac , QB BAL= - Beegs Boy! s ! Updated 10/23/01 Coach Brian Billick expects Grbac to be = ready for Sunday's game against Jacksonville, but the quarterback wasn't so= sure. "I'm day-to-day. I'm feeling pretty sore in the chest area," Grbac s= aid Monday. "There could be something going on with the cartilage. I haven'= t picked up a ball or thrown a ball, so we'll just have to wait and see." R= andall Cunningham will replace Grbac if he is unable to play. Az-Zahir = Hakim , WR STL - God Updated 10/23/01 Hakim suffered a calf injury during S= unday's blowout win over the New York Jets. However, he is expected to be a= vailable for this weekend's game against New Orleans. Trung Canidate , RB= STL - Perrito-style Updated 10/23/01 According to the St. Louis Post-Dispa= tch, Canidate is expected to start in place of Marshall Faulk this weekend = against New Orleans. "I wouldn't expect Marshall to be up for this game," c= oach Mike Martz said. "He's got to be 100 percent before I would be convinc= ed that we've got to let him play. And if he's not, then he doesn't play." = Canidate proved himself as a worthy replacement last Sunday against the Jet= s, and should be starting from a Fantasy perspective again this week. J= .J. Stokes , WR SF - El-Gato Updated 10/23/01 Stokes spent much of the bye = week tending to his injured legs, and is close to being completely healthy.= "Thankfully the bye week came so early. It was a blessing for me because I= was ! ab! le to get treatment every day," Stokes told the Contra Costa Tim= es . "I practiced today good. I wouldn't say I'm 100 percent but I'm darn c= lose." Stokes has been less than mediocre, however, so don't use him as a r= egular starter unless he proves himself to be more reliable. Ike Hilliard= , WR NYG - Free Agent Updated 10/23/01 Hilliard continues to improve each = week, and is now back in the Giants' starting lineup. Hilliard led the G-Me= n with six catches for 80 yards on Monday night against Philadelphia, and l= ooked as though his surgically-repaired foot is almost completely healed. = Ron Dixon , WR NYG - Free Agent Updated 10/23/01 Dixon missed Monday night= 's 10-9 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles due to a sprained ankle. The reserv= e wideout is day-to-day. Marshall Faulk , RB STL - R-Diddy Updated 10/23/= 01 According to Head Coach Mike Martz, Faulk is questionable for Sunday's g= ame against New Orleans. "I'm just taking the same posture that we did a we= ek ago," Martz said. "I would not expect Marshall to be up (active) for thi= s game. He's got to be 100 percent before I'll be convinced that we've got = to let him play." Trung Canidate would once again start in Faulk's absence = is he's unable to go.
