Player Notes

Nov 24 - QB Carson Palmer is 7-2 in games started against the Browns. He has 197 completions in 313 attempts (62.9 percent) for an average of 238.3 yards per game (2145). Palmer has thrown 22 touchdowns against 14 interceptions.

Nov 23 - Palmer completed 14 of 22 passes for 207 yards in Sunday's 20-17 loss to Oakland.
Advice: Palmer also became the first Bengals quarterback to run for two touchdowns in a game since Jack Thompson in 1979.

Maurice Jones-Drew (Jac - RB)

Nov 24 - RB Maurice Jones-Drew was held to 66 yards in 25 carries against the Bills. He now has 926 yards in 194 carries.

Nov 23 - Jones-Drew had 25 carries for 66 yards and a TD on Sunday in a 18-15 win over Buffalo.
Advice: Jones-Drew continues to reward fantasy owners with 13 rushing TDs. He apologized last week for not scoring late against the Jets, and fantasy owners should forgive him the way he has produced.

Nov 22 - RB Maurice Jones-Drew scored a touchdown but gained only 66 yards in 25 carries against the Bills. That's the fewest number of yards he's gained when he had 25 carries or more.

LaDainian Tomlinson (SD - RB)

Nov 24 - RB LaDainian Tomlinson got to carry the ball 20 times and he cranked out 73 yards and a score. He took a shot in the ribs during the game and underwent an X-ray after the game, but the team said he is fine. Tomlinson is running the best he has all season.

Nov 23 - Tomlinson rushed for 73 yards and a TD in Sunday's 32-3 win over Denver.
Advice: Tomlinson has rushed for five TDs in his last four games after rushing for one in his first four games this season.

Chris Chambers (KC - WR)

Nov 24 - WR Chris Chambers was practicing on Tuesday despite bruised ribs suffered in the victory over Pittsburgh. Chambers suffered the injury on a 47-yard pass play in the fourth quarter. He left the game, but returned to contribute the 61-yard pass play that set up the Chiefs' winning field goal. Chambers is averaging 24.9 yards per catch on his 10 receptions with the Chiefs.

Nov 23 - WR Chris Chambers left Sunday's game against Pittsburgh battered and bruised, and he figures to be restricted when practice begins for the Chiefs on Tuesday. Chambers had two big catches late in the victory over the Steelers, but one of those came with a Pittsburgh defender landing on his chest. He was bothered by a sore chest on the 61-yard play that set up the winning field goal in overtime.

Nov 22 - WR Chris Chambers had just two catches for 11 yards midway through the fourth quarter against the Steelers. But in the last seven minutes of regulation and overtime, he had two catches for 108 yards, including a 61-yard play that set up the game winning FG.

Nov 18 - Dwayne Bowe's four-game suspension for violating the league's policy on performance-enhancing substances could make Chambers the team's No. 1 receiver for the next month.

Recommendation: Chambers signed with the Chiefs just two weeks ago, but in that time has caught six passes for 130 yards and two touchdowns, and now finds himself atop the depth chart. He'll be the beneficiary of increased targets from Matt Cassel, but will no longer have the luxury of playing opposite Bowe, who commanded increased attention from the defense. Chambers is still probably only a decent starting option in leagues that start three receivers.

Chad Ochocinco (Cin - WR)

Nov 24 - WR Chad Ochocinco has 79 receptions for 1,095 yards in 16 games against the Browns. He had two touchdowns in the Week 4 game and his 11 career TDs against the Browns are his most against any opponent.

Nov 23 - Ochocinco caught four passes for 67 yards in Sunday's 20-17 loss to Oakland.
Advice: Ochocinco is averaging 3.7 receptions and 54.0 yards in his last three games. He has no touchdowns during this stretch.

Nov 22 - WR Chad Ochocinco had four receptions for 67 yards Sunday, but only one of those catches came in the second half.

Greg Olsen (Chi - TE)

Nov 24 - TE Greg Olsen has 18 catches for 188 yards and three touchdowns over the past three weeks, but all the scores came in the same game.

Nov 22 - TE Greg Olsen caught six passes for 42 yards Sunday but was targeted 12 times by an inaccurate Jay Cutler.

Robbie Gould (Chi - K)

Nov 22 - K Robbie Gould, the second-most accurate FG kicker in NFL history (85.9), hit his first four FG attempts but had a 48-yarder blocked in the fourth quarter that preceded the Eagles' game-winning TD drive.
