He may start against the Bengals this week. "I expect to see more time but I'm still not 100 percent," Allen said. "My hand is going to bother me but I need to be out there on the field to help this team."  Elvis Grbac , QB BAL - South Park Cows Updated 12/20/01 Don't expect to see Grbac benched this year, or anytime soon, Brian Billick told the Baltimore Sun. "He's my quarterback now, he's going to be my quarterback next year, hopefully the year after that and the year after that," Billick said. "The only thing that would change that is if he chooses to retire or God forbid, he'd get a career-ending injury."   Chris Chandler , QB ATL - CYSWC Updated 12/20/01 Chandler won't have too look over his shoulder this week. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution says Michael Vick will not see action unless Chandler is injured.   MarTay Jenkins  , WR ARI - High Shrivel Factor Updated 12/20/01 Jenkins (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday. He is listed as questionable for Sunday's game.   Ricky Watters , RB SEA - The Replacements Updated 12/19/01 Watters has placed on injured reserve. He will not play again this season. Shaun Alexander will be the starter for Seattle's final three games.   Brian Griese , QB DEN - Blue Star Boys Updated 12/19/01 Griese should be able to return from a concussion after the bye week. Jarious Jackson will be Denver's No. 2 QB.   Joe Jurevicius , WR NYG - Aryan Brother Inc. Updated 12/19/01 Jurevicius (hamstring) is expected to return to action on Sunday. He may be able to catch a deep ball or two against the erratic Seattle secondary.   Travis Henry , RB BUF - Barking Spiders Updated 12/19/01 Henry will miss Sunday's game with a sprained right knee. Shawn Bryson will start in his place.   Tim Dwight , WR SD - Water Boys Updated 12/19/01 Dwight (fluid in lung) is not expected to play this week. He has not produced very much this year when healthy.  Tyrone Wheatley , RB OAK - Water Boys Updated 12/19/01 Wheatley, who was not used last week, is expected to see some playing time in Week 15. He will probably not be used enough, however, to help most Fantasy teams.   Derrick Mason  , WR TEN - CYSWC Updated 12/19/01 Mason missed Tuesday's practice with a hip flexor injury. His current status is day to day.  Steve McNair , QB TEN - Money Shots Updated 12/19/01 McNair (back stiffness) missed practice on Tuesday. His current status is day to day.   Chris Sanders , WR TEN - Free Agent Updated 12/19/01 Sanders has returned to practice from a back injury. He is not expected to play this week.   Tony Richardson , RB KC - South Park Cows Updated 12/19/01 Richardson is day to day with a shoulder injury. He is expected to play on Sunday.   Oronde Gadsden , WR MIA - Dallas Demon Horde Updated 12/19/01 Gadsden missed Tuesday's practice with a strained hamstring. He is expected to play on Saturday.  Bill Gramatica , K ARI - Money Shots Updated 12/19/01 Gramatica (knee) was placed on injured reserve. Rookie Cedric Oglesby will be Arizona's placekicker for the final three games of the season.   Amos Zereoue , RB PIT - Free Agent Updated 12/19/01 Zereoue is listed as questionable this week because of a sore shoulder.  He might start at RB if healthy. He replaced Chris Fuamatu-Ma'afala and gained 73 yards Sunday.    Jerome Bettis , RB PIT - Addison Red Cornholes Updated 12/19/01 The Pittsburgh Steelers may be without Bettis for at least one more week. Two days after coach Bill Cowher said Bettis was likely to play Sunday against Detroit, the running back was listed Tuesday as doubtful with a groin injury. "But this is not a Fred Taylor injury. He (Bettis) will come back and play this year. But we've got to be very careful making sure he's playing in the right games." Keep Bettis on your bench this week. His health status makes him too risky a player. Chris Fuamatu-Ma'afala will likely start for Bettis.  Skip Hicks , RB TEN - Free Agent Updated 12/18/01 Titans Head Coach Jeff Fisher said Monday that he plans to give Hicks more work over the final three games of the season, according to the Nashville Tennessean . "We're going to play Skip more," Fisher said. "We're going to play Skip, if at all possible, as much as he played [Sunday] night ? But I also want to get Eddie [George] 1,000 yards.'' This development will limit George's production over the final three weeks, making him a risky start.  Steve McNair , QB TEN - Money Shots Updated 12/18/01 McNair will miss Tuesday's practice due to tightness in his lower back which hampered him during Sunday's game against Green Bay. The injury is unrelated to his 1999 surgery to repair a disc in his lower back, and he should return to practice on Wednesday. Provided McNair heals over the next couple of days, he's a safe start for Week 15.  Amos Zereoue , RB PIT - Free Agent Updated 12/18/01 Zereoue re-injured his sprained shoulder late in Sunday's game against Baltimore. His status for next Sunday's game against Detroit is unclear, but he's only a marginal starter in deeper leagues anyway.  Gus Frerotte , QB DEN - Free Agent Updated 12/18/01 The Broncos are likely to place Frerotte on injured reserve due to a separated shoulder which might require surgery. Brian Griese will probably start for the remainder of the season, with Jarious Jackson serving as his backup.   James Jackson , RB CLE - Money Shots Updated 12/18/01 According to the Cleveland Plain Dealer, Jackson could miss the remainder of the season due to a sprained ankle. He wasn't a reliable weekly starter during the Fantasy playoffs to begin with, and Benjamin Gay and Jamel White, who are less reliable starters, are likely to split time the rest of the way if Jackson is out.  Corey Dillon , RB CIN - CYSWC Updated 12/18/01 Dillon's dislocated finger has improved, and he should be fine for this week. He is listed as probable for Sunday's game against Baltimore. Don't reserve him based on this injury, and only consider benching him based on the Ravens' strong rush defense.  Scott Mitchell , QB CIN - Free Agent Updated 12/18/01 Mitchell could get the start Sunday against Baltimore due to Jon Kitna's strained ligament in the middle finger of his throwing hand. Whether Mitchell or Kitna gets the call, we don't expect either QB to be worth starting in the most important weeks of the Fantasy season.  Akili Smith  , QB CIN - Free Agent Updated 12/18/01 The Bengals placed Smith on injured reserve with a hamstring injury Tuesday, officially ending his season. He will likely need surgery to reattach the muscle group in his hamstring to the bone. Jon Kitna will probably start in his place the rest of the season if he's healthy, but we don't recommend any Cincinnati quarterback the rest of the year anyway.  Terry Allen , RB BAL - The Replacements Updated 12/18/01 The Ravens are likely to feature one running back Sunday against Cincinnati after Allen, Moe Williams and Obafemi Ayanbadejo combined for just 10 carries for 40 yards in Week 14. Allen is the likely starter of the three after he recovered from a ! ha! nd injury. None of the three is a worthy starter in a Fantasy league regardless of whether he starts.   Doug Flutie , QB SD - Water Boys Updated 12/18/01 Chargers Head Coach Mike Riley said Monday that he plans to start Flutie Sunday against Kansas City instead of rookie Drew Brees. While Brees is not expected to play, he may see some playing time in the Week 16 finale against Seattle. Flutie is a very risky player during the Fantasy playoffs, especially in light of the possibility he could sit in favor of Brees at any time.  Priest Holmes , RB KC - Lake Austin Mighty Mullets Updated 12/18/01 Holmes is likely to skip practice Wednesday and possibly Thursday due to a sore groin muscle. He is no worse than questionable for Sunday's game against San Diego at this point, but keep an eye on his status before you consider using him this week.  Bert Emanuel , WR DET - Free Agent Updated 12/18/01 Emanuel (knee) could be back in the starting lineup this week against Pittsburgh. He will be re-evaluated this week to determine his true status for the game.   More Updates  Teams, Player News  [IMAGE]CYSWC Player News  Chris Chandler , Reserve QB Updated 12/20/01 Chandler won't have too look over his shoulder this week. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution says Michael Vick will not see action unless Chandler is injured.   Derrick Mason , Active WR Updated 12/19/01 Mason missed Tuesday's practice with a hip flexor injury. His current status is day to day.  Corey Dillon , Active RB Updated 12/18/01 Dillon's dislocated finger has improved, and he should be fine for this week. He is listed as probable for Sunday's game against Baltimore. Don't reserve him based on this injury, and only consider benching him based on the Ravens' strong rush defense.  Jeff Garcia , Active QB Updated 12/17/01 Garcia has sprained cartilage in his ribcage, but he shouldn't miss his next start for the San Francisco 49ers. X-rays revealed no broken bones. Monday, coach Steve Mariucci said Garcia might miss some practice before Saturday's game against Philadelphia, but he expects the quarterback to play.   Chad Lewis , Active TE Updated 12/17/01 Lewis injured his groin on Sunday. His current status is day to day.  Derrick Alexander , Reserve WR Updated 12/16/01 Alexander had four catches for 72 yards and a touchdown against Denver. He's been playing better in recent weeks, but Alexander is still a risky play outside of deeper Fantasy leagues.   Antonio Freeman , Active WR Updated 12/16/01 The Titans limited Freeman to 42 yards on two catches. If your team is moving on in the playoffs, however, you can expect better numbers from Freeman in the weeks ahead.   Desmond Clark , Reserve TE Updated 12/14/01 Clark will continue to be a featured target for the Broncos during the Fantasy postseason. Denver is still coping with injury issues at wide receiver.  Maurice Smith , Reserve RB Updated 12/14/01 The Atlanta Journal-Constitution says Smith's ailing knee has continued to improve, but Bob Christian may get the bulk of the team's carries on Sunday.  Larry Parker , Reserve WR Updated 12/10/01 Parker suffered a bruised right shoulder in Sunday's game against Oakland. His current status is day to day.  Antowain Smith , Active RB Updated 12/09/01 Smith rushed for 76 yards and two TDs on 21 carries against Cleveland. He has always been a great red-zone runner, so expect a lot of scores from Smith during the Fantasy playoffs even if his yardage totals disappoint you at times.  Darnay Scott , Active WR Updated 12/02/01 Scott caught four passes for 30 yards against Tampa Bay. Like all of the Cincinnati wideouts, he is not worth a Fantasy roster spot right now.  Joe Nedney , Active K Updated 10/23/01 Nedney suffered a neck injury in Sunday's game but is expected to play this week.   J.R. Redmond , Reserve RB Updated 10/22/01 Redmond made his return from an ankle injury on Sunday, and had one carry for no yards. He won't see enough playing time to help Fantasy leaguers.  Raiders , Active DT Updated 10/02/01 The Raiders have lost DE Trace Armstrong for the rest of the season after he tore his Achilles' tendon in Sunday's game against Seattle. He'll have surgery this week and be placed on the injured reserve list shortly thereafter. In other news, DT Roderick Coleman is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Dallas Cowboys after sustaining a hamstring injury, and DT Grady Jackson is questionable for Sunday after aggravating an injury to his right shoulder.   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.   Adam Vinatieri , Reserve K Updated 12/13/00 Vinatieri has been one of the league's most accurate placekickers in recent weeks, converting on 18 of his last 19 field goal attempts. He should get his chances against the Bills this week, especially if Buffalo's defense struggles like it did on Monday night. Unless you have one of the league's elite kickers on your roster, giving Vinatieri the start is a good idea.   [IMAGE]  Copyright 2001 Commissioner.COM Inc and SportsLine.com Inc.
