    • Lee had four receptions for 22 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's win over the Lions.
      Recommendation: Aaron Rodgers spread the targets equally between Jermichael Finley (six) and Lee (five), but Finley remains the better fantasy option due to his superior physical tools. The touchdown grab was Lee's first of the year.

    • After Gage (back) did some running on Wednesday, the decision was to "back him down" and not have him practice on Thursday, the Tennessean reports.
      Recommendation: Coach Jeff Fisher said that Gage did some work inside on Thursday, but it did not include any running. It is expected that Gage will miss his third straight game Sunday. Kenny Britt is expected to continue to start in his place.

  • Thu, Nov 26
    • WR Justin Gage did not practice on Thursday as he tries to make his way back from fractured transverse process bones in his back. Gage has already missed two games with the injury.
      (Yahoo! Sports)
    • Gage (back) did not practice Thursday, the Titans' official site reports.
      Recommendation: We'll check back on Gage's status Friday, but he looks iffy at best for Week 12.
      (Rotowire.com)
  • Wed, Nov 25
    • WR Justin Gage is better, but probably needs one more week to heal from the transverse process bone fractures in his back

    • Witten (foot) not only got the start Thursday but recorded his first 100-yard receiving game of the season, catching five passes for 107 yards.
      Recommendation: He still hasn't gotten into the end zone since Week 2 however. Despite his 59 catches and 588 yards on the season, Witten owners haven't gotten full value so far out of the pick they spent on him.
      (Rotowire.com)
    • Witten had 5 catches for 107 yards on Thursday in a 24-7 win over Oakland.
      Advice: Witten played though a sprained left foot and was excellent. Fantasy owners should monitor his progress in practice for a Dec. 6 game against the defending NFC East champion New York Giants.
      (STATS, Inc.)
  • Thu, Nov 26
    • Witten (sprained foot) is active for Thursday's game against the Raiders, the Dallas Morning News reports.
      Recommendation: As a result, Witten will extend his starting streak with the Cowboys to 102 straight games.
      (Rotowire.com)
    • Four days after getting hurt in the last game, Witten caught five passes for 107 yards. He had three plays of at least 21 yards in his first 100-yard game since last Thanksgiving - 15 games ago.
      Advice: Even after daily treatments, Witten didn't know for sure until Thursday that he would be in the lineup, though he had done his best all week to convince coach Wade Phillips and the trainers that he would be ready to play. It was Witten's ninth career 100-yard game, the first since having nine catches for 115 yards against Seattle last Thanksgiving.
      (STATS, Inc.)
  • Wed, Nov 25
    • TE Jason Witten was limited in practice Tuesday. 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 (sprained left foot) was on the field for the start of practice Wednesday, the Associated Press reports.
      Recommendation: That's a positive indicator regarding Witten's availability, but Coach Wade Phillips reiterated before Wednesday's workout that Witten remains a game-time decision for the team's Thanksgiving tilt against Oakland.
      (Rotowire.com)
  • Tue, Nov 24
    • 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.

    • Barber gained 61 yards on 14 carries Thursday in a 24-7 victory over Oakland.
      Advice: Fantasy owners should definitely use Barber in his next start Dec. 6 against the Giants' porous run defense. He is splitting carries with Tashard Choice and Felix Jones.
      (STATS, Inc.)
  • Thu, Nov 26
    • Barber (thumb) is active for Thursday's game against Oakland.
      Recommendation: Barber's Thursday matchup looks good, as he will take aim at an Oakland defense that ranks 30th in the NFL against the run (157.7 YPG) and has allowed a league-high 16 rushing TDs.
      (Rotowire.com)
  • Wed, Nov 25
    • Barber (thumb) is officially listed as probable for Thursday's game against the Raiders, the Dallas Morning News reports.
      Recommendation: Even though he hasn't scored since Week 8, Barber is a strong play on Thursday against an Oakland defense that ranks 30th in the NFL against the run (157.7 YPG) and has allowed more rushing scores (16) than any other team in the league.
      (Rotowire.com)
  • Mon, Nov 23
    • Barber had 99 yards rushing in Dallas' 7-6 win over Washington on Sunday.
      Advice: Barber had a season-high 20 carries, but failed to score for the third straight game.

  • Fri, Nov 27Recent News
    • While he is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game, Rackers (groin) is expected to play, the Cardinals' official site reports.
      Recommendation: He was a limited participant in all of this week's practices. Because Rackers isn't 100 percent, the Cardinals might refrain from trying borderline field goals, but he should be available for at least close to normal duty.
      (Rotowire.com)
  • Thu, Nov 26
    • K Neil Rackers has a groin strain and has been limited in practice this week. He is expected to play on Sunday.
      (Yahoo! Sports)
    • Because of Rackers' groin injury, the Cardinals have invited veteran kickers Mike Nugent and Matt Bryant for a Thursday tryout, the team's official site reports.
      Recommendation: The Cardinals are still hopeful that Rackers will be able to play on Sunday, but this is an indication that his injury is more significant than previously believed. He was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
      (Rotowire.com)
  • Wed, Nov 25
    • Rackers (groin) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, the Cardinals' official site reports.
      Recommendation: The injury doesn't sound serious and Rackers should play against Tennessee on Sunday.

  • Fri, Nov 27Recent News
    • Jacobs carried 11 times for 27 yards in Thursday's 26-6 loss at Denver.
      Advice: The Giants' pathetic rushing attack finished with 57 yards. While the offensive line has clearly taken several major steps back, the same could be said for Jacobs. Once one of the most feared running backs in the NFL, Jacobs has turned the act of handing him the ball into the equivalent of a throwaway down for New York's offense. Jacobs has also struggled with his blitz pickups, but that has thankfully not affected fantasy owners as much as his awful rushing totals.
      (STATS, Inc.)
  • Thu, Nov 26
    • Jacobs had 11 carries for 27 yards and three catches for 30 yards Thursday.
      Recommendation: The Giants were dominated at the line of scrimmage, and Jacobs often found himself running east-west rather than north-south. Moreover, the team couldn't generate first downs or red-zone looks with any consistency, so there was no way for Jacobs to wear down the defense or get into a rhythm.
      (Rotowire.com)
  • Wed, Nov 25
    • RB Brandon Jacobs remains in search of his first 100-yard rushing performance not only this season, but also in more than a year. Jacobs last rushed for at least 100 yards (22 carries for 126 yards and two touchdowns) on November 9, 2008 at Philadelphia, a game the Giants won 36-31. In 2009, his single game best so far came against Kansas City, when he rushed for 92 yards on 21 carries (4.4 yards per carry). The previous week against Tampa, Jacobs also rushed for 92 yards on 26 carries, averaging 3.5 yards per carry.
      (Yahoo! Sports)
    • Jacobs (knee) does not appear on Wednesday's injury report.
      Recommendation: Jacobs hasn't been his usual self this season, but he should have several reasons to be thankful on Thanksgiving against the Broncos. Ahmad Bradshaw won't play, leading to an increased workload for Jacobs against Denver's struggling run defense. During their current four-game slide, the Broncos have allowed nearly 170 rushing yards per game.
      (Rotowire.com)
  • Tue, Nov 24
    • Jacobs says his right leg feels "really good" after injuring it against Atlanta, and he could've returned to the game Sunday.
      Advice: Jacobs missed the fourth quarter and overtime in the Giants' 34-31 win after he was tackled by Thomas DeCoud and Stephen Nicholas on a 5-yard run late in the third quarter. Jacobs says it "wasn't anything bad," and participated in full practice on Monday and was expected to again on Tuesday. He walked through the locker room without being visibly hindered and should be ready to go against Denver on Thursday night.
      (STATS, Inc.)
  • Mon, Nov 23
    • RB Brandon Jacobs, who suffered a leg injury late in the third quarter of the Giants' win against Atlanta, was not on the team's injury report. Jacobs, who suffered the injury late in the third quarter, told reporters after the game that he probably could have returned, but head coach Tom Coughlin said that the team's medical personnel didn't feel it would be wise, and as such kept him out for the rest of the game.
      (Yahoo! Sports)
    • Jacobs continued his awful season with 12 carries for 39 yards and a TD in Sunday's 34-31 OT win over the Falcons.
      Advice: Jacobs was fantasy gold last season with 15 TDs. He has scored three times this season and failed to reach 50 yards for the third time this year. That kind of production is embarrassing for a running back once considered to be closing in on elite status.

  • Fri, Nov 27Recent News
    • Orton drove Denver on six scoring drives and was sacked once Thursday in a 26-6 win over the Giants.
      Advice: Orton completed 18 of 28 passes for 245 yards as he had little trouble against the Giants' non-existent pass rush. Orton is 19-3 all-time as a starter in home games.
      (STATS, Inc.)
    • Orton (ankle) completed 18-of-28 passes for 245 yards, along with one touchdown and one interception on Thursday night against the Giants.
      Recommendation: Orton played under control and was fairly accurate given his ankle injury. He connected with seven different receivers, including Brandon Marshall six times, and will probably benefit the most from the extended layoff before the team's next game.
      (Rotowire.com)
  • Thu, Nov 26
    • Orton (ankle) is listed as active for Thursday's game against the Giants.
      Recommendation: No surprise here, as he'll gut it out just like he did last week, but just an FYI for those wary of any sort of possible setback with Orton's ankle during warmups.
      (Rotowire.com)
  • Wed, Nov 25
    • Orton, who has been receiving treatment on his sore ankle all week, said he will be ready to start Thursday's game against the Giants, the Denver Post reports.
      Recommendation: After seeing him start Week 11's game on the sidelines and then finish it up in relief, we expect that Orton will be out there Thursday, barring an unexpected setback in warmups.
      (Rotowire.com)
  • Tue, Nov 24
    • QB Kyle Orton was a full participant Tuesday. He says he feels better and shouldn't be limited in Thursday's game.
      (Yahoo! Sports)
  • Mon, Nov 23
    • QB Kyle Orton relieved Chris Simms 25 minutes into Sunday's game vs. San Diego. He threw for 171 yards. He looked comfortable despite an injured left ankle and sharp despite not practicing during the week. In hindsight, he should have started.
      (Yahoo! Sports)
  • Sun, Nov 22
    • QB Kyle Orton did not start Sunday but he came in for Chris Simms, who was pulled after three ineffective series. Orton played well, and said he had no setbacks to his injured left ankle. Orton said he will be ready to play against the Giants on Thanksgiving.

    • Peterson (ankle, illness) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Chicago but is expected to play, ESPN reports. He did not practice Friday.
      Recommendation: Coach Brad Childress told the Minneapolis Star Tribune that Peterson missed Friday's practice because he is sick, not because of the ankle injury. It doesn't sound like Peterson is in danger of missing the game, but we'll keep tabs on this one closely. The Vikings don't play until 4:15 ET on Sunday, which may limit your replacement options if he ends up as a surprise late inactive.
      (Rotowire.com)
    • Peterson missed practice on Friday because of illness and is listed as questionable for the game Sunday against Chicago.
      Advice: Peterson was limited earlier in the week by an ankle injury. Coach Brad Childress and offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell both say he should be fine for the game against the Bears.
      (STATS, Inc.)
  • Thu, Nov 26
    • Peterson (ankle) was limited in practice again on Thursday, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
      Recommendation: The media didn't have access to Minnesota's practice on Thanksgiving, so there isn't much information on his injury. Still, he played with the injury last week and it's probably not a concern this week against Chicago.
      (Rotowire.com)
  • Wed, Nov 25
    • Peterson was limited in practice Wednesday because of an ankle injury, the Minneapolis Star Tribune's Judd Zulgad reports.
      Recommendation: Peterson nicked his ankle in last week's win over Seattle but returned to the game, so we'd be surprised if he's in any danger of missing Sunday's matchup with Chicago. His limited participation was probably a precaution.
      (Rotowire.com)
  • Mon, Nov 23
    • Peterson rushed for 82 yards in Minnesota's 35-9 win over Seattle on Sunday.
      Advice: Peterson was held out of the end zone after scoring four times in his previous three games.

    • Johnson (knee) caught a one-yard touchdown pass on Thursday, but had just one other grab against the Packers to finish with two catches for 10 yards.
      Recommendation: Johnson was visibly bothered by his injury, and it showed in his final stat line. He'll get an extended break to get well with the Lions off for 10 days, so he should be closer to 100 percent by the next time Detroit takes the field.
      (Rotowire.com)
  • Thu, Nov 26
    • Johnson will start Thursday against Green Bay for the Lions.
      Advice: Johnson, who has knee and hand injuries suffered injuries in Sunday's dramatic win over Cleveland, missed three days of practice this week.
      (STATS, Inc.)
    • The Lions plan to work Johnson (knee) out before the team's Thanksgiving tilt against the Packers to determine his availability for the game.
      Recommendation: ESPN's Adam Schefter says he has a "hunch" that Johnson won't go, but this looks like a true game-time decision, with the odds perhaps slightly tilted against him. More on his status as kickoff approaches.
      (Rotowire.com)
  • Wed, Nov 25
    • Johnson (knee, hand) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against Green Bay, Adam Caplan of Scout.com reports.
      Recommendation: We'll have official word on Johnson's status as soon as the inactive list is released on Thanksgiving morning, making it easy for you to step away from your turkey duties for a few minutes to verify Johnson's availability. If he does play, he'll be catching passes from Daunte Culpepper, who will be starting in place of the injured Matthew Stafford.
      (Rotowire.com)
  • Tue, Nov 24
    • WR Calvin Johnson did not practice Tuesday because of hand and knee injuries. Coach Jim Schwartz said he was improving but would be a game-time decision.
      (Yahoo! Sports)
  • Mon, Nov 23
    • WR Calvin Johnson was listed with hand and knee injuries Monday. Asked if Johnson would play against the Packers, coach Jim Schwartz said: "We'll see."
      (Yahoo! Sports)
    • Johnson had seven receptions for 161 yards and a score in Detroit's 38-37 win over Cleveland on Sunday.
      Advice: Johnson has had two straight strong games after being held to three catches fro 29 yards in his previous two.

    • Hoover (ankle) fully participated in practice on Friday and is listed as questionable on the injury report for Sunday's game against the Jets, the Panthers' official site reports.
      Recommendation: He's not a fantasy option, but Hoover may return to the lineup in Week 12 to open up holes for the likes of DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart against the Jets.
      (Rotowire.com)
  • Wed, Nov 25
    • FB Brad Hoover returned to practice Wednesday from a high ankle sprain will return to the lineup this week.
      (Yahoo! Sports)
    • Hoover (ankle) returned to practice on Wednesday, the Charlotte Observer reports.
      Recommendation: Barring a setback, there's a good chance he'll be paving the way for DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart against the Jets on Sunday.
      (Rotowire.com)
  • Tue, Nov 24
    • FB Brad Hoover (sprained ankle) should return this week against the Jets, which is good news for Carolina's running game. He should also provide more protection for Jake Delhomme.
      (Yahoo! Sports)
  • Mon, Nov 23
    • FB Brad Hoover said he ran Monday and feels like his sprained ankle should be good enough to play on this Sunday against the Jets.

  • Fri, Nov 27Recent News
    • Lynch (shoulder) has been able to practice this week and was not listed on the non-participation list for Friday.
      Recommendation: It looks like he's going to play Sunday against Miami, though his production has been another story. He's only scored one time all season, and his high in rushing yards is 69. Throw in an offensive line and the shoulder issue, and starting him carries some pretty big risk in Week 12. But at least Lynch looks like he avoided a serious injury.
      (Rotowire.com)
  • Thu, Nov 26
    • RB Marshawn Lynch, who left last week's game against Jacksonville in the first half with a shoulder injury, has practiced fully this week and will be fine for Sunday's home game against Miami. That's not necessarily good news for the Bills' sputtering offense. Lynch has just 272 yards rushing and one TD and the coaching staff has struggled finding enough touches for him and Fred Jackson, who has been vastly more productive.
      (Yahoo! Sports)
  • Wed, Nov 25
    • Lynch was out on the practice field with his teammates Wednesday, and appeared to be full-go coming off his shoulder injury in Sunday’s game, BuffaloBills.com reports.
      Recommendation: We'll find out more once interim coach Perry Fewell sheds some more light on the situation, but for now we'd say Lynch is closer to playing this week against Miami than not. Lynch didn’t seem to show any limitations at Wednesday's practice.
      (Rotowire.com)
  • Tue, Nov 24
    • 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.

    • Bulger will miss at least three weeks and could be out for the remaining six games with a fractured left shin bone. He was on crutches Friday at practice and said there will be plenty of time to determine if he is back in 2010.
      Advice: Kyle Boller will start Sunday as St. Louis hosts Seattle. "We've got six weeks to go in this season and whether I come back this season, we'll see," Bulger said. "We'll have plenty of time on the offseason to make those (other) decisions. I don't want to be a distraction in any way. We're thinking optimistic around here."
      (STATS, Inc.)
  • Tue, Nov 24
    • QB Marc Bulger has a tibial plateau fracture in his left leg and will miss anywhere from three to six weeks. The previous week, it was reported that Bulger had banged his knees and since no one is able to pinpoint when the fracture occurred, it's possible it might have happened against the Saints. A tibial plateau fracture occurs on the top surface of the tibia or shin bone where it meets the knee. The injury can be more serious if there is displacement or if it affects the middle of the knee or on the inside because of the weight-bearing nature of the bone. The size of the fracture is also important. Coachh Steve Spagnuolo described the injury as "a hairline fracture" and it is likely that the injury is to the lateral or outside part of the knee. It isn't out of the question that Bulger could be OK to play in three weeks. It appears the Rams' plan is not to place Bulger on injured reserve, even though the team is currently 1-9. Kyle Boller will start Sunday against Seattle, with rookie sixth-round pick Keith Null the backup.
      (Yahoo! Sports)
  • Mon, Nov 23
    • Bulger completed 19 of 37 for 215 yards and an interception in Sunday's 21-13 loss to Arizona.
      Advice: Bulger underwent an MRI exam on his groin and hamstring Monday and was due for a second MRI on a swollen knee in addition to testing for concussion-related symptoms after a physically demanding loss to the Arizona Cardinals. Coach Steve Spagnuolo said the first MRI revealed a strain. The second MRI was set for late Monday and Bulger will be tested for a possible concussion Tuesday after taking a blow to the head in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 21-13 loss.
      (STATS, Inc.)
    • QB Marc Bulger came out of Sunday's game with a variety of issues. He had an MRI on his groin and hamstring area early Monday and was scheduled for a late-afternoon MRI on his knee, which was swollen Monday. In addition, he got a blow to the head late in the game and will have a concussion baseline test Tuesday.
      (Yahoo! Sports)

    • Morris (knee) was limited at practice Friday, the Boston Globe reports.
      Recommendation: It's starting to look promising for Morris, who will likely end up listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Saints. Given the late kickoff and the uncertainty of his role upon his return, it's best to take a wait-and-see approach with Morris.
      (Rotowire.com)
  • Thu, Nov 26
    • RB Sammy Morris was present at Wednesday's practice, which is a good sign heading into Monday's game. Attendance is sparse with this being Thanksgiving week, but Morris has been more vocal recently regarding his return.

    • RB Sammy Morris has been out since Week 6 with a knee injury, but said he'll be a game-time decision come Monday night.
      (Yahoo! Sports)
    • Morris (knee) was present for the media portion of Wednesday's practice, the Boston Globe reports.
      Recommendation: We'll follow Morris' status as the week rolls along, but a probable conclusion heading into the weekend is that he'll be a game-time decision for Monday's game against the Saints.
      (Rotowire.com)

    • Jackson had six carries for 14 yards in Thursday's win over the Lions.
      Recommendation: Jackson was heavily involved in the passing game last week, so it was a bit surprising to see him held without a reception against the Lions. His primary fantasy value lies as a handcuff to Ryan Grant.

      (STATS, Inc.)

    • Lewis (ankle) was a limited participant at Friday's practice but the Browns list him as probable for Sunday's road game against the Bengals, the team's official site reports.
      Recommendation: Chris Jennings figures to be in the mix once again this week, but look for Lewis to handle the bulk of the Browns' rushing duties against a Bengals' defense that has allowed an average of 84.3 yards per game on the ground. Only the Steelers have been stingier against the run.
      (Rotowire.com)
  • Thu, Nov 26
    • Lewis (ankle) was listed as a limited participant at Thursday's practice.

  • Wed, Nov 25
    • Lewis (ankle) was listed as a limited participant at Wednesday's practice.
      Recommendation: The Browns' injury report is often one of the less revealing, but this is where Lewis was this time last week, and he played, so until we hear otherwise, we'll assume that's likely to be the case once again in Week 12.
      (Rotowire.com)
  • Tue, Nov 24
    • RB Jamal Lewis continues to play hard in what he has said will be his final season. Lewis ran 24 times for 75 yards in Detroit. Though he didn't gain a lot, he ran hard and picked up some tough yards.
