(Cle - QB) New player notes
  • Tue, Nov 24Recent News
    • QB Brady Quinn's breakout game provides a glimmer of hope to the Browns offense. Prior to Sunday's loss in Detroit, the Browns had scored five offensive touchdowns in 16 games. But in the first quarter alone in Detroit, Quinn threw three touchdowns. He looked much better in part because the Browns let Quinn be a quarterback. They did not shackle him with a conservative game plan, and Quinn and the offense responded. "I thought that Brady and the entire offense did a really nice job operating the no huddle," coach Eric Mangini said. "Getting the shifts, getting the motions, getting the spacing against the calls that they had. Identifying the pressures, picking those up, because they had quite a few different packages that they ran and then when we had those chances, capitalizing on them." Quinn probably didn't erase every question about his future, but his 304-yard, four-touchdown game -- those are good numbers no matter the opponent -- should allow the Browns to breathe easier about him if he can follow with more good games. If the Browns come out of nothing else from this disaster of a season, they should at least have an idea of Quinn's abilities. Quinn, though, needs to follow up the game against Detroit with more strong efforts. If Quinn can't finish strong the final six games of the season, then the criticism will be leveled that he only did it against weak competition. Quinn needs a good game against a good team.
      (Yahoo! Sports)
  • Mon, Nov 23
    • Quinn threw four TDs _ surpassing his previous career total _ in Cleveland's 38-37 loss to Detroit on Sunday.
      Advice: He connected with Michael Gaines with 5:44 left to put the Browns ahead after helping them score a franchise-record 24 points in the first quarter. Quinn, who started the game with three TD passes in three seasons, was 21 of 33 for 304 yards and did not throw an interception.
      (STATS, Inc.)
    • QB Brady Quinn had an outstanding game against one of the league's poorer defenses. Quinn threw for four touchdowns and 304 yards, and had the Browns in position to win. It's a game that should put Quinn back on firmer ground with the team, especially its future. He threw downfield, he looked comfortable and he ran the offense well. Given a chance to run a complete game plan, Quinn played very well and very efficiently. It was the first and best game by a Browns quarterback this season. "We didn't win, though," Quinn said. "So you're never happy when you don't get a win."
      (Yahoo! Sports)
  • Sun, Nov 22
    • QB Brady Quinn threw four touchdown passes, including a 59-yard touchdown pass to Mohamed Massaquoi and a 40-yard touchdown pass to Chansi Stuckey, in the Browns' 38-37 loss. Quinn's longest pass play prior to that was a quick slant that Massaquoi turned into a 30-yard gain Nov. 16 against the Ravens .
      (Yahoo! Sports)
  • Wed, Nov 18
    • Coach Eric Mangini said that Quinn will start Sunday in Detroit, despite the Browns' 16-0 loss to the Ravens Monday, in which Quinn had a 23.5 passer rating, the Cleavland Plain Dealer reports.
      Recommendation: The "on any given Sunday" plus a "great matchup" equation is still not enough to risk rolling with anyone in the Browns' passing game at this point.

(Buf - RB) New player notes
  • Tue, Nov 24Recent News
    • RB Marshawn Lynch, who left Sunday's loss at Jacksonville with a shoulder injury in the first half and did not return, is feeling better and there's a chance he could be fine for this week's home game against Miami. He'll see limited practice time and a decision may not come until later in the week.
      (Yahoo! Sports)
  • Mon, Nov 23
    • Lynch left Sunday's game at Jacksonville with a shoulder injury.
      Advice: Lynch was taken to the locker room on a cart in the second quarter. He returned to the field after halftime wearing street clothes.
      (STATS, Inc.)
    • RB Marshawn Lynch suffered a shoulder injury while losing a fumble in the second quarter. His status for this week's game against Miami will be determined later in the week, but if he's out, Fred Jackson will take over as the starter and the Bills will either have to sign a running back because Jackson and Lynch are the only two on the active roster, or bring up Bruce Hall from the practice squad.
      (Yahoo! Sports)
  • Sun, Nov 22
    • RB Marshawn Lynch gained only 18 yards on eight carries and lost a fumble before suffering a shoulder injury.
      (Yahoo! Sports)
  • Wed, Nov 18
    • Lynch continues to struggle finding his game legs. Since returning from a three-game suspension to start the year, he has gained 254 yards on 79 carries, a 3.2 average. He is averaging just 13 carries a game, a reflection on the team's overall offensive struggles, The Sports Xchange reports.
      Recommendation: He's getting more carries than Fred Jackson, but this offense is bad enough that neither back is productive under the current setup. We'll see if interim coach Perry Fewell is able to shake things up enough to give Lynch and Jackson some more opportunities, though it's going to be tough behind such a weak offensive line.

    • QB Chad Henne displayed poise as offensive lineman after offensive lineman limped off the field last Thursday. He avoided getting sacked or turning the ball over while directing three touchdown drives, including a nine-play, 81-yard drive culminated by a 14-yard TD pass to Ricky Williams. After an 0-for-3 start on third downs, Henne completed 5-of-7 for 49 yards for five first downs and two touchdowns.
      (Yahoo! Sports)
  • Fri, Nov 20
    • Henne was 17 of 29 for 172 yards and one TD to RB Ricky Williams in a 24-17 victory at Carolina on Thursday.
      Advice: Henne has done a good job taking over as the starter for Chad Pennington, but he doesn't have too much fantasy value.

    • TE Jason Witten hasn't missed a game since his rookie year in 2003. He could see his streak snapped at 103 against the Raiders on Thursday because of a sprained foot. He is listed as a game time decision.
      (Yahoo! Sports)
    • Witten will be a game-time decision for Thursday's game against Oakland because of an ankle injury.
      Advice: Witten was hurt in the second quarter of Dallas' 7-6 victory over Washington on Sunday. He continued playing, but was held out of a light practice Monday and was limited Tuesday. Coach Wade Phillips said doctors are concerned Witten could worsen the injury if he plays on it. Witten's 54 catches are easily the most on the team. His 481 yards are second-most.
      (STATS, Inc.)
  • Sun, Nov 22
    • TE Jason Witten's five catches against the Redskins upped his career total to 483 and allowed him to pass Jackie Smith (480) for eighth in league history among tight ends.

    • TE Dallas Clark has 65 receptions so far this season. He is on pace to shatter his own single-season career-and -ranchise-best of 77 catches by a tight end in 2008. Clark (771) needs 78 yards receiving to also break his own and the franchise mark for receiving yards in a season by a tight end (848).
      (Yahoo! Sports)
  • Mon, Nov 23
    • Clark had one catch for a 3-yard TD Sunday in a 17-15 win at Baltimore.
      Advice: Fellow tight end Tom Santi had six catches and fantasy owners should monitor the situation to see if Peyton Manning prefers Santi to Clark.
      (STATS, Inc.)
    • TE Dallas Clark may have set the Colts' franchise record for the most career receptions by a tight end (he is now one ahead of former Baltimore Colts TE John Mackey with 321 career receptions), but the news of his record-breaking catch was not announced in the Ravens' press box.
      (Yahoo! Sports)
  • Sun, Nov 22
    • TE Dallas Clark became the franchise leader for receptions by a tight end. Clark had a 3-yard touchdown catch in the first quarter - his only reception on the day - to give him 321 receptions for his career. He had been tied with John Mackey.

    • Thomas (knee) did not practice Wednesday because of a knee injury, the New Orleans Times-Picayune's Jeff Duncan reports.
      Recommendation: Thomas is coming off his best game of the season, but he's still far from being a recommended fantasy play. He was held out of practice as a precaution.
