He has not been a reliable Fantasy player this year when healthy.   Priest Holmes , RB KC - Pumpdog Updated 12/21/01 Holmes returned to practice on Thursday. He should assume his regular workload this week.   Bubba Franks , TE GB - The Hillrods Updated 12/21/01 Franks (ankle) has returned to practice. He is expected to play on Sunday.   Oronde Gadsden , WR MIA - She Said Updated 12/21/01 Gadsden (hamstring) has returned to practice, but Chris Chambers may start over him this week.   Muhsin Muhammad , WR CAR - KMB Express Updated 12/21/01 Muhammad (toe) did not practice on Thursday. He might miss the game against Buffalo, and Isaac Byrd will start in his place if Muhammad can't play.   Wesley Walls , TE CAR - Cali Bound Updated 12/21/01 Walls (ankle) practiced on Thursday. He might be able to play against Buffalo.   Peerless Price , WR BUF - Pierres Flea Circus Updated 12/21/01 Price (ankle) returned to practice on Thursday. He is expected to play this week.   Frank Wycheck , TE TEN - The Leather Cheerios Updated 12/21/01 Wycheck started off slow this season but has been productive in recent weeks. Expect him to contribute a fair amount of points during the Fantasy playoffs.   Bob Christian , RB ATL - Free Agent Updated 12/21/01 Christian missed practice with tightness in his calf on Thursday. His current status is day to day.   Eddie George  , RB TEN - The Wounded Ducks Updated 12/21/01 George is listed as questionable for Saturday's game because of an ankle injury, but is expected to play. Look for him to be productive this week against a weak Raider run defense.   Kevin Dyson , WR TEN - She Said Updated 12/21/01 Look for Dyson to be a decent No. 2 receiver during the Fantasy postseason. He might not score, but he should catch a few passes.    Derrick Mason , WR TEN - KMB Express Updated 12/21/01 Mason is expected to play Saturday, despite suffering from a hip injury. Look for him to be an adequate No. 2 wideout.   Hines Ward , WR PIT - She Said Updated 12/21/01 Ward hasn't scored a lot of touchdowns this season but is among the league leaders in receptions. He should be an asset to your team for the rest of the season as a No. 2 wideout.   Plaxico Burress , WR PIT - The Hillrods Updated 12/21/01 Burress has been more reliable in recent weeks but still remains a risky pick for the Fantasy playoffs. He will only be a good No. 2 wideout at best.   Kyle Brady , TE JAC - 2700 HUEVOS Updated 12/21/01 Brady hasn't offered useful Fantasy stats much this season. Don't expect him to be too productive during the Fantasy playoffs.   Stacey Mack , RB JAC - Xtreme Updated 12/21/01 Mack has produced an adequate amount of all-purpose yardage but hasn't scored a lot. He should be used in larger leagues only for the remaining weeks.   Keenan McCardell , WR JAC - 2700 HUEVOS Updated 12/21/01 McCardell has caught a lot of passes this season but he doesn't score too many touchdowns. Look for him to be a solid No. 2 receiver in the Fantasy playoffs.   Jimmy Smith , WR JAC - Pierres Flea Circus Updated 12/21/01 Smith has been one of the best receivers in the AFC this season, despite his offseason injury. The veteran is a must-start for your Fantasy playoff run.   Tim Couch , QB CLE - Pierres Flea Circus Updated 12/21/01 Couch has been inconsistent this season. He is far too unreliable to be considered a starter during the Fantasy playoffs.   Kevin Johnson , WR CLE - Pierres Flea Circus Updated 12/21/01 Johnson has been solid all season. Look for him to be a good receiver during the Fantasy playoffs.   Elvis Grbac , QB BAL - The Leather Cheerios Updated 12/21/01 Grbac has been inconsistent at times this season but should still be an adequate starter during the Fantasy playoffs. Expect him throw for at least 200 yards and a touchdown.   Qadry Ismail , WR BAL - She Said Updated 12/21/01 Ismail has been a reliable receiver all season. Look for this trend to continue throughout the Fantasy playoffs.   Fred Taylor , RB JAC - She Said Updated 12/21/01 Taylor is not expected to play Sunday. He is still suffering from a groin injury that has sidelined him for most of the season.   Corey Dillon , RB CIN - KMB Express Updated 12/21/01 Dillon missed practice Thursday because of a finger injury but The Cincinnati Post reports that he is expected to play Sunday. Even if healthy, Dillon is a risky start this week against a tough Baltimore run defense. Consider benching him if you have a backup of equal value.   Steve McNair , QB TEN - She Said Updated 12/21/01 McNair missed practice Thursday for the third straight day because of back spasms and is questionable for the game against Oakland. McNair first experienced some stiffness in his lower back late last week. In the first quarter of Sunday's game against Green Bay, he said the muscles tightened up. However, he stayed in the game. Even McNair is unsure of his status for Saturday night. "If it's like it is right now, there's no way I can do it," he said. "I'm very surprised. Usually this comes and goes, but this time the spasms have stayed longer than I anticipated." Avoid using McNair this week if you have a backup of equal value. His health status makes him a major risk.     Shannon Sharpe  , TE BAL - KMB Express Updated 12/20/01 Sharpe (leg) practiced on Wednesday. He is expected to play this week.   Drew Brees , QB SD - Free Agent Updated 12/20/01 There still seems to be a chance Brees might play this week or before the season ends, says the San Diego Union-Tribune. He has been taking snaps with the first team in practice. "I'm not going to say that he will play, (but) could he play? Yes," Mike Riley. "But I'm not going to say he will for sure.   Kevan Barlow , RB SF - The Hillrods Updated 12/20/01 Despite scoring on two short TD runs last week, Barlow is not offically the Niners' goal-line back, says the Contra-Costa Times. "It's a coincidence," Barlow said. "It was my turn in the rotation to be in there." The two backs will continue to split carries.   Terrell Owens , WR SF - Pierres Flea Circus Updated 12/20/01 Owens (hip) did not practice on Wednesday. He is still expected to play this week.   Jeff Garcia , QB SF - The Leather Cheerios Updated 12/20/01 Garcia (ribs) has been downgraded to questionable, but he still expects to play this week. Tim Rattay took snaps with the first team on Wednesday.
