Patrick Jeffers , WR CAR - Free Agent Updated 12/27/01 Jeffers may see some increased playing time this week because of Muhsin Muhammad's persistent toe problems. Isaac Byrd, however, still should start in Muhammad's place.   Sebastian Janikowski , K OAK - The Replacements Updated 12/27/01 Janikowski (groin) has been kicking in practice. He is expected to play this week.   Terrence Wilkins , WR IND - Beer Gut Boys Updated 12/27/01 Wilkins (hamstring) has returned to practice. He may be able to play this week.   Stephen Alexander , TE WAS - Beer Gut Boys Updated 12/27/01 Alexander (leg) was placed on injured reserve, officially ending his season. Walter Rasby will continue to start in his place, but Zeron Flemister has emerged as the team's best receiving tight end with Alexander out.   Matt Hasselbeck , QB SEA - Free Agent Updated 12/27/01 The Seattle Times says Hasselbeck's season might be over. Mike Holmgren said he would only use him in an emergency this week, and the Seahawks coach may elect to have Hasselbeck use the season's final two games to rest his injured shoulder. Trent Dilfer will start at San Diego this week.   Amos Zereoue , RB PIT - Free Agent Updated 12/27/01 Zereoue missed practice on Wednesday with a shoulder injury. He is listed as probable for this week.   Todd Bouman , QB MIN - High Shrivel Factor Updated 12/27/01 Bouman practiced without pads on Wednesday. If he cannot practice fully on Thursday, Spergon Wynn will get the start this week.   Keenan McCardell  , WR JAC - Blue Star Boys Updated 12/27/01 McCardell is listed as probable with a thigh injury. He should be able to start this week.   Chris Chambers , WR MIA - Team T-Bone Updated 12/27/01 Chambers is listed as questionable with an ankle injury. He practiced on Wednesday and should be able to play this week.   James McKnight , WR MIA - Beer Gut Boys Updated 12/27/01 McKnight is listed as questionable with an ankle injury. He practiced and is hopeful of playing this week.   Travis Minor , RB MIA - Dallas Demon Horde Updated 12/27/01 The Miami Herald reports Minor will get more work on offense this week. Lamar Smith will remain the starter, but the Dolphins are hoping Minor can inject some life into the offense.   James Stewart , RB DET - South Park Cows Updated 12/27/01 The Detroit Free Press says Stewart is not expected to play this week because of a sprained ankle. Lamont Warren and Cory Schlesinger will assume most of the workload in his place.   Mike McMahon , QB DET - Lake Austin Mighty Mullets Updated 12/27/01 The Detroit Free Press says McMahon is not expected to practice or play this week. Ty Detmer will start in his place.   Brian Griese , QB DEN - Blue Star Boys Updated 12/27/01 Griese told the Denver Post he is ready to take on the Broncos, although Mike Shanahan questioned how effective he would be in his return. "How do you know with a concussion?" Shanahan said. "There should be no side effects. Hopefully there's not. But we have learned a lot through the years about concussions and how serious they can be, and hopefully that's something in the past and they won't reoccur."   Aaron Shea , TE CLE - Free Agent Updated 12/27/01 Shea is expected to miss the season's final two games with a shoulder injury. O.J. Santiago should remain in the starting lineup in Shea's place.   Akili Smith  , QB CIN - Free Agent Updated 12/27/01 Smith underwent surgery on his left hamstring. He is expected to be ready for training camp next season and will compete for the starting job.   Wesley Walls , TE CAR - Blue Star Boys Updated 12/27/01 Walls is listed as questionable with a knee injury. He was expected to be evaluated again on Thursday.   Muhsin Muhammad , WR CAR - Free Agent Updated 12/27/01 Muhammad (turf toe) is not expected to play this week, and may miss the rest of the season. Isaac Byrd will likely start in his place again.   Travis Henry , RB BUF - Barking Spiders Updated 12/27/01 Henry will sit out again this week with a sprained knee. Shawn Bryson will start for the second consecutive week.   Steve McNair , QB TEN - Money Shots Updated 12/27/01 McNair missed practice Wednesday because of back pain.   "I'm going to try to do some things tomorrow and hope it loosens up and not have as much pain as I had today," McNair said.   "I'm not going to go out and try to force the issue. If it's still sore and still tight where I can't have all my mechanics right, I'm not going to force the issue."     The Titans listed him as questionable yet again Wednesday, but McNair likely will play   Jerome Bettis , RB PIT - Addison Red Cornholes Updated 12/27/01 Bettis sat out Wednesday's practice, and indicated he might not play in the regular season's final two games. "You want to take care of the injury first and if that means not playing, that means not playing," Bettis told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. "But you want to make sure you're healed up. The team playing as well as it has played allows me the opportunity to get healthy. I'm using it very, very wisely."   Martin Gramatica , K TB - High Shrivel Factor Updated 12/27/01 Gramatica sat out practice Wednesday, but is expected to test his injured leg on Thursday. Doug Brien and Brad Daluiso worked out Wednesday for the Buccaneers, who might sign one if Martin Gramatica can't kick against the Baltimore Ravens this week.   Matt Hasselbeck , QB SEA - Free Agent Updated 12/26/01 Trent Dilfer will start this week in place of Hasselbeck, whose separated left shoulder is too sore for him to play.    Coach Mike Holmgren said Wednesday that Hasselbeck aggravated the injury, which he's had since the third week of the season, against the New York Giants last Sunday.   "There's a chance I might have him and he could play in an emergency-type situation, but he's pretty sore," Holmgren said.    James Stewart , RB DET - South Park Cows Updated 12/26/01 Stewart is day to day with a sprained ankle. His status for this week's game is unclear.   Jeff Graham , WR SD - Water Boys Updated 12/26/01 Graham may miss his second consecutive game this week because of the death of his father. With Tim Dwight (lung) still ailing, Trevor Gaylor may have to start again.   Skip Hicks , RB TEN - Water Boys Updated 12/26/01 Hicks is expected to miss this week's game with a hamstring injury, and may miss the rest of the season. Eddie George should assume a regular workload once again.   Emmitt Smith , RB DAL - Blue Star Boys Updated 12/26/01 Smith is day to day with a hip injury. He is expected to play this week.   Peter Warrick , WR CIN - Blue Star Boys Updated 12/26/01 Warrick, who was benched late in last week's game, is expected to start. He has been a disappointment this year and Fantasy players should not use him at this point of the postseason.    Todd Bouman , QB MIN - High Shrivel Factor Updated 12/26/01 Bouman (thumb) may attempt to practice late in the week. His status remains unclear for this week's game, and Spergon Wynn is available to start if needed.   More Updates  Teams, Player News  [IMAGE]CYSWC Player News  Larry Parker , Reserve WR Updated 12/26/01 Parker's season is over. He will undergo surgery on his shoulder and the Chiefs are expected to place him on injured reserve.   Jeff Garcia , Active QB Updated 12/23/01 Garcia, whose practice time was limited all week, played in Saturday's game. He admitted afterwards that he has a cracked rib. He played with extra padding, saying it didn't greatly affect his throws. Garcia might not be at full strength in the remaining weeks but he will still be a solid No. 1 Fantasy QB.   Antowain Smith , Active RB Updated 12/23/01 Smith rushed for a career-high 156 yards and a touchdown Saturday. He has been one of the best runners in the AFC and will help carry your team to Fantasy glory.   Corey Dillon , Active RB 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.   Derrick Mason , Active WR 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.   Maurice Smith , Reserve RB Updated 12/21/01 A banged-up Smith hasn't done much statistically in recent weeks. Don't depend on him during the Fantasy playoffs.   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.   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.  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.
