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= hasn't be! en! playing well of late, so giving Sanders some consideration = in deeper leagues is advisable. David Boston , WR ARI - Cocked and Locked= Updated 11/21/01 Boston has become one of the premier wide receivers in Fa= ntasy Football. He's posted three touchdowns and 217 yards receiving in his= last two games, and should have another solid game vs. San Diego in Week 1= 1. Tom Brady , QB NE - Cocked and Locked Updated 11/21/01 Patriots Head C= oach Bill Belichick announced late Monday that Brady will remain the starti= ng quarterback for the remainder of the season, barring injury. This relega= tes Drew Bledsoe to a backup role and makes him useless from a Fantasy pers= pective. Brady might have his hands full passing against the Saints on Sund= ay, but he is a fairly safe weekly starter otherwise. Dolphins , DT MIA -= The Great Bald Hunter Updated 11/21/01 Defensive tackle Daryl Gardener cou= ld miss the remainder of the season due to a fragmented disc in his back. H= e will miss at least one month to rest and rehabilitate the injury before b= eing re-evaluated. Gardener's absence hurts the Dolphins' rush defense, whi= ch might be burned a little more by opposing running backs in the upcoming = weeks. Marvin Minnis , WR KC - Hatcher's Right Nut Updated 11/21/01 Minnis= is unlikely to be available for Sunday's game against Seattle due to the s= prained ankle he suffered during a Nov. 11 game against the Jets. He will b= e replaced by Chris Thomas in the lineup at split end, and you should keep = him reserved for this week. Mark Brunell , QB JAC - Hollowman Updated 11/2= 1/01 Brunell's nagging leg injury might sideline him for Sunday's game agai= nst Baltimore. He decided about two hours before last Sunday's kickoff that= he couldn't play against Pittsburgh due to a strained right quadriceps. Jo= nathan Quinn has been preparing as if he will start the game, so right now = you shouldn't count on Brunell this week as you set your lineups. Fred Tay= lor , RB JAC - The Internet Potatoes Updated 11/21/01 Taylor received a sec= ond medical opinion Tuesday that indicated his severe groin injury could ke= ep him out up to three months and possibly the remainder of the season, acc= ording to the Florida Times-Union. The diagnosis was that the injury still = has not healed and will need more time to become healthy, and in the meanti= me Taylor has deve! lo! ped pain in his hip, a side effect of the injury. I= t's sounding more and more like Taylor will not play again this Fantasy sea= son, although you should probably hold onto him until a final decision is r= eached, provided you have a deep enough bench. Rod Smith , WR DEN - Hatche= r's Right Nut 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 - Hollowman Updated = 11/20/01 With Ricky Watters expected to miss another two to three weeks, Al= exander will remain the focal point of many contending Fantasy teams during= their charge to the playoffs. He should roll up some fine numbers against = the Chiefs this week. Tom Brady , QB NE - Cocked and Locked Updated 11/20/= 01 The Patriots 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 Belic= hick said. Brady is a solid Fantasy starter right now, but add Bledsoe to != yo! ur roster as an insurance policy if you can. Jonathan Quinn , QB JAC = - Free Agent Updated 11/20/01 Quinn may have to start in place of Mark Brun= ell (quadriceps) again this week. Brunell's status is still unclear for Sun= day's game. Ricky Watters , RB SEA - The Internet Potatoes Updated 11/20/0= 1 Watters' shoulder has not sufficiently healed enough for him to practice,= says the Seattle Times . He is not expected to return for another two to t= hree weeks, meaning Shaun Alexander will continue to be a key performer for= many Fantasy teams as the postseason comes into view. Doug Flutie , QB SD= - The Internet Potatoes Updated 11/20/01 Mike Riley told the San Diego Uni= on-Tribune there is no QB controversy involving Flutie and rookie Drew Bree= s. "Doug is going to be our quarterback," he said. "You can talk about cont= roversy all you want, but there is none within this building. He is our qua= rterback. 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 B= ruener , 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 regarded as the best = run-blocking tight end in football. Tyrone Wheatley , RB OAK - Hatcher's R= ight Nut Updated 11/20/01 Wheatley told the Contra-Consta Times he is no lo= nger being bothered by a knee injury. He expects to play on Sunday. Erron = Kinney , TE TEN - Free Agent Updated 11/20! /0! Kinney (calf) may play thi= s week after missing three games. He was expected to return to practice ear= ly this week. Frank Wycheck , TE TEN - Threesome Updated 11/20/01 Wycheck = (calf) will be limited in practice this week. He may be a risky start in We= ek 11. Steve McNair , QB TEN - Hatcher's Right Nut Updated 11/20/01 The Te= nnessean 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 time this week. Derrick Alexander , WR KC - Cocked and Locked U= pdated 11/20/01 Alexander (ribs) has returned to practice. He is expected t= o start against Seattle. Marvin Minnis , WR KC - Hatcher's Right Nut Updat= ed 11/20/01 Minnis (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game. Larry P= arker may have to start in his place, Reggie Wayne , WR IND - Free Agent U= pdated 11/20/01 Wayne has a sprained knee ligament, and is doubtful for Sun= day's game against New Orleans. Terrence Wilkins may have to start in his p= lace. Jerome Pathon , WR IND - Little Bambinos Updated 11/20/01 Pathon (fo= ot) is done for the season. He will be put on injured reserve. Reggie Wayne= (knee) is also hurting, meaning Terrence Wilkins might have to be moved ba= ck into the starting lineup. Jay Fiedler , QB MIA - The Great Bald Hunter= Updated 11/20/01 Dave Wannstedt told the Miami Herald there is no QB contr= oversy surrounding Fie! ld! er and backup Ray right now. ``That's kind of h= ypothetical,'' 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 - Hatcher's Right Nut Updated 11/20/01 Mike Shanahan said he does = not know if Smith (ankle) will be sufficiently healed to play in 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 our football = team, he'll play. If he's in a situation where he can't perform at the leve= l 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 11/20/01 The Clevel= and Plain-Dealer says Butch Davis won't indicate how much Gay will play in = the near future. "We'll try to get him involved in some of the games," Davi= s said. "We'll see." Kevin Lockett , WR WAS - Free Agent Updated 11/20/01= Lockett, who suffered a rib injury last weekend against Denver, expects to= play on Sunday against Philadelphia. However, the wide receiver has no rea= l value as a Fantasy player at this point. Tony Banks , QB WAS - Free Age= nt Updated 11/20/01 Barring any setbacks, Banks will start Sunday's game ag= ainst Philadelphia. Banks, who suffered a concussion last weekend vs. Denve= r, 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 11/20/0= 1 Green (abdomen) is expected to return to practice on Wednesday at full st= rength. He's been inconsistent this season, and is best used when the match= up is favorable. Terrell Owens , WR SF - The Internet Potatoes Updated 11= /20/01 Owens suffered a sprained left knee and ankle during the overtime se= ssion of last weekend's game against Carolina. The injuries aren't consider= ed serious, however, and Owens is expected to be in the starting lineup on = Sunday Indianapolis.
