    • Batch injured his left wrist after replacing Ben Roethlisberger during an overtime loss in Kansas City and could miss the rest of the regular season.
      Advice: Batch was hurt despite playing only four plays in the Steelers' 27-24 loss -- his first game action since 2007. He is expected to undergo surgery later this week to repair the wrist and miss approximately six weeks. Batch sat out last season with a broken collarbone.

(Min - RB) New player notes
  • Tue, Nov 24Recent News
    • RB Chester Taylor had a season-high 73 yards on 11 carries and caught two passes for 12 yards against the Seahawks. The 73 yards rushing is Taylor's highest total since he ran for 83 yards in the 2007 regular-season finale at Denver. Taylor's longest run of the day Sunday was a 25-yarder, making it the first time this season he has had a rush go for more yards in a game than Peterson. Peterson's longest dash was only 16 yards.

(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.

      (Yahoo! Sports)

    • 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.

  • Tue, Nov 24Recent News

  • Tue, Nov 24Recent News
    • 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. Clark's one-handed TD grab was the 39th scoring catch of his career, one behind Mackey's (40) franchise record.

      (Yahoo! Sports)
  • Wed, Nov 18
    • 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.
