Oronde Gad= sden , WR MIA - Starboy Updated 12/26/01 Gadsden (hamstring) might miss his= second consecutive game this week. Chris Chambers may start in his place a= gain. Fred Taylor , RB JAC - Starboy Updated 12/26/01 Taylor (groin) has = returned to practices and is working with the scout team. He might appear i= n the team's final game, and is a longshot to play this week. He has missed= too much playing time to warrant serious Fantasy consideration at this poi= nt of the playoffs. Rod Smith , WR DEN - G money Updated 12/26/01 Smith (= ankles) has returned to practice. He is expected to play this week. Raghi= b Ismail , WR DAL - Beegs Boys Updated 12/26/01 Ismail is recovering from a= mild concussion. He is expected to play this week.

Jerome Bettis , RB PIT - El-Gato Upd= ated 12/25/01 Bettis is listed as questionable for Week 16. However, he may= be able to return to the Steelers' starting lineup. Bill Cowher said Betti= s is progressing, and he will be used this week if healthy. James Stewart= , RB DET - Tacos Updated 12/23/01 Stewart suffered a sprained ankle early = in Sunday's game at Pittsburgh. He was replaced by Lamont Warren in the fir= st quarter, and Stewart did not return. Cameron Cleeland , TE NO - Tacos = Updated 12/23/01 Cleeland injured his Achilles tendon on Sunday.

Jeff Graham , WR SD - Free Agent Updat= ed 12/23/01 Graham probably won't play Sunday at Kansas City because of the= death of his father in a car accident, coach Mike Riley said Friday. If Gr= aham doesn't play, Trevor Gaylor will start in his place and Nate Turner wi= ll be signed off the practice squad. The Chargers are already missing their= No. 3 receiver, Tim Dwight, due to complications of a collapsed lung. An= towain Smith , RB NE - Starboy Updated 12/23/01 Smith rushed for a career-h= igh 156 yards and a touchdown Saturday. He has been one of the best runners= in the AFC and will help carry your team to Fantasy glory. More Update= s Teams, Player News [IMAGE]God Player News Wesley Walls , Active TE Up= dated 12/26/01 Walls is day to day with a knee injury. He should be able to= play this week. Jeff Garcia , Active QB Updated 12/23/01 Garcia, whose p= ractice time was limited all week, played in Saturday's game. He admitted a= fterwards that he has a cracked rib. He played with extra padding, saying i= t didn't greatly affect his throws. Garcia might not be at full strength in= the remaining weeks but he will still be a solid No. 1 Fantasy QB. Az-Za= hir Hakim , Reserve WR Updated 12/21/01 Hakim has a sore back. He is expect= ed to play against Carolina. Troy Brown , Active WR Updated 12/21/01 Brow= n has been an inconsistent Fantasy receiver this year. He may not be a reli= able option during the Fantasy playoffs. Terrell Owens , Active WR Update= d 12/21/01 Owens (hip) returned to practice on Thursday. He is expected to = play this week. Stacey Mack , Reserve RB Updated 12/21/01 Mack has produc= ed an adequate amount of all-purpose yardage but hasn't scored a lot. He sh= ould be used in larger leagues only for the remaining weeks. Qadry Ismail= , Reserve WR Updated 12/21/01 Ismail has been a reliable receiver all seas= on. Look for this trend to continue throughout the Fantasy playoffs. Jame= s Jackson , Reserve RB Updated 12/21/01 The Cleveland Browns put Jackson on= injured reserve on Thursday. Jackson, who leads the team with 554 yards ru= shing, will miss the rest of the season with an ankle injury. He aggravated= a left ankle sprain in the first quarter of Sunday's defeat against the Ja= cksonville Jaguars and left the game with two carries for six yards. Benjam= in Gay and Jamel White will share carries in his absence, but neither are r= eliable players to use during the Fantasy playoffs. Ricky Watters , Injur= ed RB Updated 12/19/01 Watters has placed on injured reserve. He will not p= lay again this season. Shaun Alexander will be the starter for Seattle's fi= nal three games. Buccaneers , Active DT Updated 12/18/01 DT Warren Sapp (= shoulder) and CB Ronde Barber (hamstring) were both injured during Sunday's= loss to Chicago. They will be limited in practice this week, but should be= available for Week 15. Shaun Alexander , Active RB Updated 12/17/01 A se= ason-ending ankle injury to Ricky Watters makes Alexander the main man in S= eattle again. Expect him to put up good, if not spectacular numbers in the = team's final three games. Lamar Smith , Active RB Updated 12/16/01 Smith = carried nine times for only 22 yards at San Francisco. The Miami RB has bee= n very inconsistent in recent weeks, but he still may be good for a few TD = runs during the remainder of the Fantasy playoffs. Mike Vanderjagt , Rese= rve K Updated 12/16/01 Vanderjagt (back) is healthy enough to handle all th= e kicking duites for Indianapolis this week. As a result, the team released= Doug Brien, who was used in last Monday night's loss to Miami. Tom Brady= , Reserve QB Updated 12/16/01 Brady had another disappointing game, throwi= ng for 237 yards, no TDs and an interception at Buffalo. All of a sudden, t= he New England QB appears to be a Fantasy risk during the most important we= eks of the year. Ken Dilger , Reserve TE Updated 11/30/01 Dilger has been = a major disappointment for Fantasy owners this season. With Marcus Pollard = emerging as the Colts primary tight end, Dilger has very little Fantasy val= ue. Browns , Reserve DT Updated 09/23/01 The Browns allowed just 14 point= s during Sunday's game against Detroit, and racked up two sacks and seven i= nterceptions in the process. Cleveland's defense is a tad underrated and ha= s some Fantasy value in deeper leagues, but keep in mind that the high inte= rception total was mainly due to an ineffective game by Ty Detmer. John Ca= rney , Active K Updated 04/15/01 Carney's 11-year run as kicker for the San= Diego Chargers might be over. The Chargers signed San Francisco 49ers rest= ricted free agent Wade Richey to an offer sheet Friday. The 49ers have a we= ek to match the offer or lose Richey. If Richey joins the Chargers, he'll s= upplant Carney, one of the NFL's most accurate kickers. Carney is San Diego= 's career scoring leader with 1,076 points.
