Garcia is dealing with a sore throwing elbow, as well as a few other nagging bumps and bruises. However, he's still expected to start in the 49ers' next game on Oct. 28 against Chicago.   Peerless Price , WR BUF - Matt Lenhart Updated 10/18/01 Price might post respectable numbers against ! th! e Jaguars. Jacksonville's secondary is thin because of injuries.  Eric Moulds , WR BUF - Matt Lenhart Updated 10/18/01 Moulds might get in the end zone against Jacksonville. Look for the Bills to move him around often against the injury-riddled Jaguars secondary.  Larry Centers , RB BUF - Free Agent Updated 10/18/01 Centers has been Buffalo's most reliable receiver so far, but that trend might change against Jacksonville. Buffalo might look to attack an injury-riddled Jaguars secondary with passes to WR Peerless Price and TE Jay Riemersma.  Drew Bledsoe , QB NE - FIBSABs Updated 10/18/01 There's a very slim chance Bledsoe will be in uniform as the emergency quarterback this week .     Bledsoe was upgraded from "out" to "doubtful" on the injury report, but he's lost 15 pounds and hasn't been cleared to run, throw or be hit. He has pedaled a stationary bicycle and probably would just hand off the ball if Brady and No. 2 quarterback Damon Huard are sidelined.   Bledsoe's progress has been slower than he hoped and there's no timetable for his return.     Tyrone Wheatley , RB OAK - Tori Kuykendall Updated 10/18/01 Wheatley won't practice during the team's week off and could possibly miss the next game because of an injured right knee.          "Tyrone Wheatley has a second degre! e ! - I don't know if it's a sprain or a tear - of his MCL,"' coach Jon Gruden said Wednesday.   Gruden called Wheatley questionable for the Oct. 28 game at Philadelphia. He said he would learn more about the injury as the week progressed.   He disputed reports that Wheatley would be out four weeks.   "I would not agree with that at this time," Gruden said.     Chris Weinke , QB CAR - Free Agent Updated 10/18/01 Weinke sat out practice Wednesday and it's uncertain whether he will play in Washington on Sunday because of a thigh injury. The injury is more serious than the Panthers first expected. Seifert said Monday that Weinke had a deep thigh bruise, but expected him to practice Wednesday. Seifert said he didn't know if Weinke would practice Thursday. Dameyune Craig would start if Weinke cannot play.  Brian Griese , QB DEN - Fear Updated 10/18/01 Griese said Wednesday his sore shoulder has improved and! h! e's confident he'll play Sunday against San Diego.   Griese complained of shoulder soreness after a hit against the Kansas City Chiefs on Oct. 7. The problem was aggravated Sunday when he was slammed to the turf by Seattle Seahawks defensive end Lamar King.   Tests Monday showed no structural damage to his shoulder.     Redskins , DT WAS - Rocks Updated 10/17/01 Cornerback Champ Bailey missed practice on Wednesday due to a sprained ankle, but he's expected to play on Sunday. Fred Smoot (leg), however, is in danger of missing this weekend's contest against Carolina. Darrell Green would replace Smoot if he's unable to go.   Rob Moore , WR ARI - Free Agent Updated 10/17/01 Moore (hamstring) is listed as probable for Sunday's game against Kansas City. He hasn't been full speed at practice, however, so don't be surprised if his status is downgraded over the next two day! s.!   Patrick Jeffers , WR CAR - Free Agent Updated 10/17/01 Jeffers (knees) saw extensive work in practice today and may be ready to play this weekend against New Orleans. However, Jeffers is too risky to start from a Fantasy perspective.   Muhsin Muhammad , WR CAR - Fear Updated 10/17/01 Muhammad's ribs are still sore after taking a few shots during Sunday's game against New Orleans. Coach George Seifert expects him to play, but he may be somewhat limited. Unless his status improves by the end of the week, Fantasy owners may want to consider benching Muhammad if at a! ll! possible.   Chris Weinke , QB CAR - Free Agent Updated 10/17/01 Weinke missed practice on Wednesday due to a thigh injury. However, Head Coach George Seifert expects the rookie quarterback to start on Sunday against Washington. If you need a quarterback this week, Weinke is a good choice facing a terrible Redskins' defense.   Terance Mathis , WR ATL - McKay Neal Updated 10/17/01 Mathis (hand) returned to practice on Wednesday. He is expected to start on Sunday against New Orleans, but he's only worth starting in deeper leagues from a Fantasy perspective.  ! Shawn Jefferson , WR ATL - Free Agent Updated 10/17/01 Jefferson (toe) returned to practice on Wednesday. He is expected to be in the starting lineup on Sunday against New Orleans, but he's too unreliable to use Fantasy-wise.   Ryan Leaf , QB DAL - Free Agent Updated 10/17/01 Leaf worked with he first team offense during practice on Wednesday. He was filling in for Anthony Wright, who was given the day off to rest his swollen right knee. Leaf will have his chance to win the starting job in Dallas, but he has no real Fantasy value at this time.   Troy Hambrick , RB DAL - Free Agent Updated 10/17/01 Now that Robert Thomas is gone for the year, Hambrick is expected to become Dallas' starting fullback. He's shown flashes of brilliance at times, but his value as a Fantasy player is still minimal at this point.   Michael Bennett , RB MIN - Free Agent Updated 10/17/01 Bennett is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against Green Bay due to a right ankle injury. Expect Doug Chapman to get the start, with Travis Prentice serving as his backup. Don't use Bennett this week.  Randy Moss , WR MIN - Hunter Shively Updated 10/17/01 Moss is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Green Bay with a right ankle injury. While we normally tell you to start him every week, this is one matchup we wouldn't activate him for unless it becomes completely clear he will start.  Shane Matthews , QB CHI - Free Agent Updated 10/17/01 The Bears re-signed Matthews on Tuesday. He returns to his old backup QB job and isn't worth adding to your Fantasy roster.  Terrell Davis , RB DEN - Eric Bass Updated 10/17/01 According to published reports, Davis would like to return to the lineup! S! unday at San Diego. He has recovered from a knee injury, and Broncos Head Coach Mike Shanahan wants him to return by November 4. We don't recommend you use Davis this week, although this development also makes it tough to recommend you start any Broncos running back.   Stacey Mack , RB JAC - Free Agent Updated 10/17/01 Mack will get a lot of carries this week but don't expect him to be too productive. He only gained 17 yards on nine carries in the Jaguars' previous.   Keenan McCardell , WR JAC - Tori Kuykendall Updated 10/17/01 McCardell struggled in his first few games back from injury, but looked like his old self in the previous game. Look for McCardell to play well this week and catch a lot of passes.    Sean Dawkins , WR JAC - Hunter Shively Updated 10/17/01 Dawkins will have a tough time against Buffalo this week. He will catch of couple of passes but won't find his way into the end zone.   Mark Brunell , QB JAC - Top Dogs Updated 10/17/01 Brunell is no longer being bothered by headaches and is expected to play in Week Six. Look for him to throw for over 200 yards and a score.     Kyle Brady , TE JAC - Free Agent Updated 10/17/01 Brady is expected to play in this week's game despite a hip injury, and is listed as probable. He w! on! 't be too productive if he does play. Brady only has five catches this season.   Jimmy Smith , WR JAC - Fear Updated 10/17/01 Smith has been very consistent this season. Look for him to catch several passes and score a touchdown against Buffalo.  Herman Moore , WR DET - McKay Neal Updated 10/17/01 Moore will miss the remainder of the season after tearing a muscle in his hip during Sunday's game at Minnesota. "We're disappointed the injury is much worse than we thought," Lions Head Coach Marty Mornhinweg said. "We believed it was a minor pull, but the MRI showed a significant tear in the muscle." Drop Moore if he was on your Fantasy team. Larr! y ! Foster assumes the No. 3 receiver job in Detroit.  Tyrone Wheatley , RB OAK - Tori Kuykendall Updated 10/17/01 According to published reports, Wheatley will miss three to four weeks with a right knee sprain. The veteran back was beginning to lose carries to Charlie Garner before he was hurt.  Charlie Garner , RB OAK - Hunter Shively Updated 10/17/01 The Contra-Costa Times points out Garner has apparently supplanted Tyrone Wheatley as the team's "workhorse" back. The trend was apparent before Wheatley was reported to miss three to four weeks with a knee injury.  More Updates  Player News Teams  [IMAGE]  Matt Lenhart Player News  Eric Moulds , Active WR Updated 10/18/01 Moulds might get in the end zone against Jacksonville. Look for the Bills to move him around often against the injury-riddled Jaguars secondary.  Peerless Price , Reserve WR Updated 10/18/01 Price might post respectable numbers against the Jaguars. Jacksonville's secondary is thin because of injuries.  Kerry Collins , Reserve QB Updated 10/14/01 Collins completed 18-of-32 passes for 250 yards and a touchdown on Sunday against St. Louis. However, he's still not a reliable starter Fantasy-wise despite his decent numbers against the Rams.   Stephen Davis , Active RB Updated 10/14/01 According to the Washington Post, coach Marty Schottenheimer will give Davis more carries on Monday against Dallas. Davis has struggled thus far, but it's been less about him and more about the Redskins tendency to fall behind the opposition early in games. If ever there was a week to start Davis, this is it.   Johnnie Morton , Reserve WR Updated 10/12/01 Morton has developed into the Lions' No. 1 receiver this season, and is worth taking a chance on against Minnesota's mediocre secondary. If you pay in a deeper league and don't have more reliable options, Morton is definittly worth considering this week.   Cris Carter , Active WR Updated 10/12/01 Carter has struggled, but he's too good not to start on a weekly basis. Look for him to find the end zone against Detroit on Sunday.   Isaac Bruce , Active WR Updated 10/12/01 Bruce hasn't been very consistent thus far, but he's far too talented to ever consider benching. Look for him to turn things around against CB Jason Sehorn and the questionable N.Y. Giants secondary.   Corey Dillon , Active RB Updated 10/12/01 Look for Dillon to have mixed success this week. The Browns defense will make it difficult to run but his effort as a receiver will be enough to give him a productive week.   Rickey Dudley , Reserve TE Updated 10/09/01 The Browns have placed Dudley on injured reserve with a foot injury, officially ending his season. Drop him if he was on your Fantasy roster.  Tony Banks , Reserve QB Updated 10/07/01 Banks was horrible against the N.Y. Giants, completing 13-of-31 for only 151 yards and two interceptions. At this point, Banks isn't even worth a roster spot outside of deeper leagues.   Steve Beuerlein , Active QB Updated 10/05/01 The Broncos placed Beuerlein on injured reserve on Friday, ending his season. He has been healing slowly from an offseason elbow injury, and isn't worth holding on to if you had him as insurance to Brian Griese in your league.  Dolphins , Active DT Updated 10/02/01 Linebacker Zach Thomas suffered a partially torn medial collateral ligament in his left knee during Sunday's loss to St. Louis. "It's just real sore," Thomas told the Miami Herald. "I'm going to try to play [Sunday]." His knee is very stiff right now, however, so don't be surprised if Thomas misses this weekend's AFC East contest against New England.   Raiders , Reserve 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.   Matt Stover , Active K Updated 12/08/00 Stover needs just nine more field goals over the final three weeks of the season to break the NFL single-season record of 39 (Olindo Mare, 1999). Expect him to get plenty of chances against San Diego on Sunday, and ensure that he's in your active playoff lineup each week.   [IMAGE]  Copyright 2001 Commissioner.COM Inc and SportsLine.com Inc.
