Fri, Nov 20Recent News
- Williams rushed for 119 yards and scored three touchdowns in a 24-17 victory at Carolina on Thursday.(STATS, Inc.)
Advice: Williams started in place of an injured Ronnie Brown. The 2002 NFL rushing champion had a receiving and rushing touchdown in the same game for the first time in his career that included a couple of lost seasons. "Coach always talks about finishing," Williams said. "Sometimes in this league, in a physical game, it's difficult to finish. I think in the past we've prided ourselves on finishing games and we did a good job tonight."
Wed, Nov 18
- Williams will take over as the Dolphins' lead back with news that Ronnie Brown has landed on IR.(Rotowire.com)
Recommendation: Given how productive Williams has been as Brown's sidekick, his owners have to be doing cartwheels as this should provide a nice boost to his fantasy value. Lex Hilliard now becomes the player to target if you are looking to insure Williams.
Tue, Nov 17
- With Ronnie Brown being out for the game on Thursday night, Williams is a must start in fantasy leagues.(Rotowire.com)
Recommendation: Williams is having a productive season only touching the ball 10-12 times a game, with Brown out his touches should at least double and it's not like Carolina is stout against the run. He has is a low RB1 or high RB2 this week.
Mon, Nov 16
- Williams ran for 102 yards against the Bucs in Sunday's 25-23 victory, extending his franchise record of 21 games with at least 100 yards.(STATS, Inc.)
Advice: Williams could see increased action Thursday against Carolina with Ronnie Brown on crutches with a foot injury,
Sun, Nov 15
- Williams carried the ball 12 times for a game-high 102 yards in Sunday's 25-23 win over Tampa Bay.(Rotowire.com)
Recommendation: Williams was a non-factor for most of the game, but stepped up big in the second half when Ronnie Brown left with an ankle injury, ripping off a 27-yard run in the final minute to set up the game-winning field goal. Williams could of course be a monster if the injury to Brown turns out to be serious. At the very least, Williams could be in line for a big workload in Week 11 because Miami plays on Thursday and Brown might not have enough time to recover, even if the ankle is not a major problem.

- Norwood practiced Friday for the second straight day after missing Atlanta's last four games with a hip flexor.(STATS, Inc.)
Advice: The Falcons (5-4) hope Norwood, who is listed as questionable for Sunday, can help stabilize his position when they visit the New York Giants (5-4). Pro Bowl running back Michael Turner is sidelined with a high ankle sprain and not expected to play. He did not practice this week and is listed as doubtful. Though Norwood is unlikely to start, the four-year veteran has spent most of his career as a backup to Turner and the retired Warrick Dunn.
Thu, Nov 19
- Norwood (hip) was a limited practice participant Thursday, the Falcons' official site reports.(Rotowire.com)
Recommendation: More on Norwood's status Friday, but Thursday's participation is a positive step for him after missing four straight games. Meanwhile, Michael Turner did not practice Thursday, which leaves Jason Snelling and Aaron Stecker as the Falcons' healthiest running back options heading into the weekend. - RB Jerious Norwood returned to practice on Thursday after being out since suffering a right hip flexor on Oct. 18 against the Chicago Bears. He was limited in practice, but ran well.(Yahoo! Sports)
Wed, Nov 18
- The Atlanta Journal-Constitution says Norwood "looks like a longshot" to play Sunday against the Giants. He did not practice Wednesday.(Rotowire.com)
Recommendation: Neither Norwood nor Michael Turner has been ruled out, but all signs seem to point to Jason Snelling as the primary runner this week. Norwood has missed the last four games with the hip injury. - RB Jerious Norwood has missed the last four games with a hip flexor. He ran for the first time on back-to-back days on Tuesday and Wednesday.(Yahoo! Sports)
Tue, Nov 17
- RB Jerious Norwood has missed the last four games but is expected to return to practice on Wednesday.(Yahoo! Sports)
- Norwood (hip) may be the Falcons' starting running back if Michael Turner (ankle) is unable to play Sunday against the Giants, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.(Rotowire.com)
Recommendation: The Falcons' training staff is being very dodgy in their answers concerning Turner's availability for Sunday, but Norwood fantasy owners should keep in mind that he isn't at 100 percent either. Norwood has yet to practice the entire month of November on account of his injury and the birth of his son, and he's had a very sluggish start to the season anyhow, so you can't be too sure of starting him at this stage of the game. We'll try to have a more clear game plan for you as game day approaches.

- Bush has been held out of practice for the third straight day, and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in Tampa Bay.(STATS, Inc.)
Advice: Bush came out of the St. Louis game with swelling and soreness in his left knee, which was surgically repaired twice in a three-month span a year ago.
Thu, Nov 19
- Bush missed another day of practice Thursday with some swelling in his left knee, the New Orleans Times-Picayune reports. "He got his treatment early in the week, and we're just trying to see if we can get it close to 100 percent right now," Coach Sean Payton said Thursday. "So we'll see where he's at tomorrow. Hopefully we can practice him tomorrow. At the same time, I don't want to set it back."(Rotowire.com)
Recommendation: As a result, there's starting to be some doubt that he will be a go for Sunday's game at Tampa Bay. More on the status of Bush, who has had issues with the same knee in the past, on Friday. - RB Reggie Bush, who experienced swelling and soreness in his left knee after last Sunday's game, didn't practice Thursday and coach Sean Payton said his progress would be monitored Friday.(Yahoo! Sports)
Wed, Nov 18
- Bush missed practice Wednesday with a knee injury, the New Orleans Times-Picayune's Jeff Duncan reports.(Rotowire.com)
Recommendation: Bush tweaked his knee during last Sunday's win over the Rams and played with a sleeve on his leg in the second half. Coach Sean Payton indicated the injury isn't serious and that Wednesday's absence was more of a maintenance day than anything else. There's no reason for Bush owners to worry at this point. - RB Reggie Bush was held out of practice Wednesday after his knee was "nicked" in Sunday's game with the Rams, but should be ready Sunday.(Yahoo! Sports)
Tue, Nov 17
- RB Reggie Bush was the Saints' leading rusher with 83 yards and a 3-yard TD run on six carries with a career-long 55-yard burst. He also caught two passes for 15 yards with a 15-yard touchdown.(Yahoo! Sports)
Mon, Nov 16
- Bush scored twice for the first time in more than a year and totaled 98 yards rushing and receiving as the Saints escaped with a 28-23 victory Sunday over the St. Louis Rams.(STATS, Inc.)
Advice: Bush was initially supposed to be a fantasy superstar, but he's turned into an afterthought. He'll still have his breakout games, like he did Sunday, but he's certainly not a must-start.
Sun, Nov 15
- Bush had his best game of the year Sunday in St. Louis. He rushed six times for 83 yards and a touchdown and chipped in another two catches for 15 yards with a second touchdown.(Rotowire.com)
Recommendation: Coach Sean Payton showed once again that he feels very comfortable getting Bush the ball in the red zone for the Saints' offense. Bush scored from three yards out on a draw play in the second quarter and again on a 15-yard reception later in the same half. Bush's touches and production has increased in recent weeks. With the Saints' soft schedule coming up, Bush may a flex-worthy option in many leagues despite the limited touches.
