He has been sidelined for over a month with a fractured collarbone. Don't expect him to be too productive. He will only be used in multiple-receiver sets.   Fred Taylor , RB JAC - Starboy Updated 11/15/01 It is unlikely that Taylor will play Sunday against Pittsburgh. However, he is listed as questionable for Sunday's game. Taylor has been sidelined for over a month because of a groi! n ! injury.   Tony McGee , TE CIN - BCWD's Updated 11/15/01 McGee missed practice Wednesday because of a knee injury. However, he is expected to play in Sunday's game against Tennessee.   Erron Kinney , TE TEN - G money Updated 11/14/01 Kinney is listed as questionable for Sunday's game because of a calf injury. He missed Monday's game because of the injury.   Frank Wycheck , TE TEN - El-! Ga! to Updated 11/14/01 Titans' head coach Jeff Fisher told The Nashville Tennesean that Wycheck's sprained ankle is not a substantial injury. Wycheck suffered the injury Monday, but is expected to play in Sunday's game.  Shad Meier , TE TEN - Free Agent Updated 11/14/01 Meier is still recovering from thumb surgery and is questionable for Sunday's game. He would have gotten substantial playing time Monday against Baltimore had he played, but won't be needed now that the Titans have two healthy tight ends.   Amos Zereoue , RB PIT - Beegs Boys Updated 11/14/01 Zereoue is listed as questionable for Sunday's game. He has been sidelined for almost a month because of a shoulder injury.   Damon Jones , TE JAC - Starboy Updated 11/14/01 An MRI on Jones' injured shoulder didn't reveal any structural damage. However, his status for Sunday's game remains uncertain.   Mike McMahon , QB DET - Free Agent Updated 11/14/01 According to published reports, the Lions hope to give McMahon some limited action during upcoming games. He is not expected to play full-time, but this development means that Charlie Batch might lose some playing time, hurting his overall Fantasy value.  Byron Chamberlain , TE MIN - Oper Error Updated 11/14/01 An MRI revealed a small cartilage tear in Chamberlain's right knee, but he is not expected to require surgery. All signs point to him playing Monday against the Giants, so feel free to use him this week.  Freddie Jones , TE SD - Kar Bombs Updated 11/14/01 The San Diego Union-Tribune says Jones (ankle) has been advised against playing this week. Results of an MRI exam are not available yet, but Steve Heiden is expected to start in his place.  Tim Dwight , WR SD - Free Agent Updated 11/14/01 Dwight (lung) is doubtful for Sunday's game. He has not been very healthy when productive, so don't count on him for much production from him during the rest of the season.  Troy Hambrick , RB DAL - Free Agent Updated 11/14/01 Hambrick is dealing with a rotator cuff injury, but he's expected to practice later in the week. He'll likely start his third consecutive game this weekend if Emmitt Smith's knee isn't 100 percent by Friday.   Emmitt Smith , RB DAL - Hurricanes Updated 11/14/01 Smith (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Philadelphia. If he is unable to go, Troy Hambrick would likely start his third straight game, barring any further damage to his injured shoulder.   Chris Weinke , QB CAR - Perrito-style Updated 11/14/01 Weinke (shou! ld! er) was only able to throw on the sidelines Tuesday, but was expected to practice on Wednesday. If he is unable to play, Matt Lytle would likely make his second consecutive start.   Peyton Manning , QB IND - El-Gato Updated 11/14/01 The Indianapolis Star says Manning had a splint inserted to stabilize the teeth in his lower jaw. He is expected to start on Sunday.  Drew Bledsoe , QB NE - El-Gato Updated 11/14/01 Bledsoe has been cleared to play, but Tom Brady will start against the Rams. Bledsoe said he will try and prove he is ready to play by performing well in practice, but it doesn't appear likely he will get a chance to start. But the future past Week 10 appears to be unclear, and there is no guarantee Brady will hold onto the job past the Rams game.  O.J. McDuffie , WR MIA - Free Agent Updated 11/14/01 McDuffie is ready to return to practice from the PUP list. He will be eligible for activation on Dec. 4, but he may still miss the rest of the season.  Aaron Brooks , QB NO - R-Diddy Updated 1! 1/! 14/01 According to published reports, many veterans on the New Orleans roster have expressed their displeasure with Brooks' inconsistency this season. The reports also stated that those same veterans would rather see Jeff Blake under center, but that doesn't seem likely to happen. The coaching staff feels as though Brooks has the talent to be a top-notch NFL quarterback, so don't expect a change under center any time soon.    Cowboys , DT DAL - Beegs Boys Updated 11/14/01 Linebacker Dexter Coakley is expected to miss two weeks of action due to a sprained knee. He suffered the injury during last weekend's loss to Atlanta. Dallas' defense has played well, but they're an inconsistent unit from a Fantasy perspec! ti! ve.   Jon Hilbert , K NO - Free Agent Updated 11/14/01 Hilbert has been signed by the Dallas Cowboys, and will serve as their starting kicker in Tim Seder's absence. Hilbert's value as a Fantasy player is still minimal at this point, however, so don't bother picking him up outside of deeper leagues.   Tim Seder , K DAL - Beegs Boys Updated 11/14/01 Seder is expected to miss several weeks of action after injuring his ankle last Sunday against Atlanta. The team has signed former New Orleans booter Jon Hilbert to take over the kicking duties in Dallas.   Rob Moore , WR ARI - Free Agent Updated 11/14/01 Moore, who had hamstring surgery two weeks ago, will begin some light running on Wednesday. His status for the rest of the season is still unclear, however, so don't bother picking him up off the waiver wire.   Terry Hardy , TE ARI - Free Agent Updated 11/14/01 Hardy (shoulder) is expected to miss a few more weeks of action. Unless you play in a very deep league, holding onto him isn't advisable at this point.   Terry Allen , RB BAL - Free Agent Updated 11/14/01 Allen will be sidelined four to six weeks because of a fractured left hand. He suffered the injury in Monday's game. Jason Brookins will start in his absence.  Steve McNair , QB TEN - Beegs Boys Updated 11/14/01 McNair will wear a cast on his throwing hand for at least a day after aggravating an injury during Monday night's 16-10 loss to Baltimore. He had X-rays and other tests on his right hand Tuesday, and coach Jeff Fisher said the results were negative. But doctors found an apparent hairline break in McNa! ir! 's thumb, which he originally hurt last season in practice. He is questionable for Sunday's game. "We put him in a cast until tomorrow [Wednesday]. We'll see how he is with some soft tosses going with the hand," Fisher said.     Ricky Watters , RB SEA - God Updated 11/13/01 According to the Seattle Times, Watters is expected to return from his shoulder injury in two weeks. However, he is not guaranteed to reclaim the starting running back job with Shaun Alexander performing so well. We recommend you hold onto both players until it becomes clear which one will get the starts over the second half of the season, although we're betting it will be Alexander.  Rod Smith , WR DEN - G money Updated 11/13/01 Smith predicted Monday that he will be able to return from a sprained right ankle in time for Sunday's game against Washington. If he can't go, Keith Poole would become Denver's top receiving option, with Chris Cole, Scottie Montgomery and Kevin Kasper also filling in. However, Poole is already expected to replace Eddie Kennison as the team's second wideout.  Eddie Kennison , WR DEN - Oper Error Updated 11/13/01 Kennison returned to the Broncos Monday and informed them that he is "unretiring," according to the ! De! nver Post. While this is a radical turnaround from his message of retirement over the weekend, he might not be welcomed back by the team as a result of his change of decision. It is unclear whether Kennison will be placed on the reserve/suspended list or reinstated to the roster, but either way it's highly unlikely he will be able to help any Fantasy teams the remainder of the season. Drop him.  Cameron Cleeland , TE NO - Tacos Updated 11/13/01 According to published reports, Cleeland won't be available for Sunday's game against Indianapolis. His high ankle sprain still hasn't healed sufficently, so look for Boo Williams and Lamont Hall to get the majority of the playing time in his absence.   More Updates  Teams Player News  [IMAGE]God Player News  Ricky Watters , Injured RB Updated 11/13/01 According to the Seattle Times, Watters is expected to return from his shoulder injury in two weeks. However, he is not guaranteed to reclaim the starting running back job with Shaun Alexander performing so well. We recommend you hold onto both players until it becomes clear which one will get the starts over the second half of the season, although we're betting it will be Alexander.  Jeff Garcia , Active QB Updated 11/13/01 Garcia made it through another game using a brace to protect his sprained knee, and had no problems afterwards. Head Coach Steve Mariucci is optimistic that Garcia will be able to play without the brace soon.   Lamar Smith , Active RB Updated 11/11/01 The Colts' defense held Smith to 53 yards on 18 carries. Rookie Travis Minor rushed for 71 yards and a TD (56 yards), and now there will be rampant speculation that Smith might be fading as a Fantasy player.  James Jackson , Reserve RB Updated 11/11/01 Jackson left Sunday's game in the second quarter with an apparent injury to his left ankle. He was replaced by Jamel White, and Jackson returned before halftime.  Troy Brown , Reserve WR Updated 11/08/01 Brown should have a good game this week. The Patriots should have little problem throwing the ball at home against Buffalo.  Terrell Owens , Active WR Updated 11/08/01 Owens continues to be one of the top wideouts in the league, catching nine passes for 125 yards and two scores against Detroit last week. Owens has had some big games in the past against this week's opponent, New Orleans, and is a must-start for Fantasy owners.   Wesley Walls , Active TE Updated 11/08/01 Wallas was held out of practice on Wednesday due to a hip injury. However, he is expected to play on Sunday against St. Louis.   Tom Brady , Reserve QB Updated 11/08/01 Brady should have another good outing this week. He shouldn't have much of a problem throwing the ball downfield in a home matchup with the Bills.  Qadry Ismail , Active WR Updated 11/04/01 Ismail caught five passes for 53 yards at Pittsburgh. While he did not score, Ismail performed well against a tough Pittsburgh defense, and he has clearly emerged as a reliable Fantasy player.  Shaun Alexander , Active RB Updated 11/04/01 Alexander rushed for 60 yards and a TD, and caught four passes for 42 yards at Washington. Even if opposing defenses key on him, Alexander will always post respectable Fantasy numbers.  Tim Biakabutuka , Reserve RB Updated 10/25/01 Biakabutuka will be out until at least training camp with a fracture and other structural damage to his right foot. "He's not going to be really ready to do any work that would be football related until next summer," coach George Seifert said Wednesday. "Basically, it just separated," Seifert said of the top part of Biakabutuka's foot. "The ligaments, tendons and bone broke, so it all had to be put back together." Richard Huntley, who will replace Biakabutuka in the starting lineup, visited his teammate at the hospital Tuesday. Huntley said the injury was far worse than he expected and he's concerned Biakabutuka won't play again.   Az-Zahir Hakim , Reserve WR Updated 10/23/01 Hakim suffered a calf injury during Sunday's blowout win over the New York Jets. However, he is expected to be available for this weekend's game against New Orleans.   Ken Dilger , Reserve TE Updated 10/18/01 Dilger is not a major factor in the Indianapolis passing game anymore. Don't expect much from him against the underrated New England defense this week.  Mike Vanderjagt , Reserve K Updated 10/12/01 Vanderjagt (toe) kicked in practice on Thursday. He is expected to play against the Raiders.  Bills , Reserve DT Updated 09/30/01 Defensive end Phil Hansen left Sunday's game against Pittsburgh in the third quarter with an apparent wrist injury. He walked off the field and into the locker room to be examined, and his return is questionable.   Buccaneers , Active DT Updated 08/08/01 Linebacker Derrick Brooks has reportedly ended his 10-day holdout. Brooks, who has been in a contract dispute with the Buccaneers, participated in practice on Wednesday.   John Carney , Active K Updated 04/15/01 Carney's 11-year run as kicker for the San Diego Chargers might be over. The Chargers signed San Francisco 49ers restricted free agent Wade Richey to an offer sheet Friday. The 49ers have a week to match the offer or lose Richey. If Richey joins the Chargers, he'll supplant Carney, one of the NFL's most accurate kickers. Carney is San Diego's career scoring leader with 1,076 points.
