THE INJURY REPORT

DeAngelo Williams- The promising rookie RB for Carolina will miss at least this week for the Panthers. For as long as Williams is out, Deshaun Foster will be a great option for all fantasy owners.

Roy Williams- The star Lions is listed as doubtful for his week 6 matchup against Buffalo. He may be able to play the week after, but he'll probably be evaluated on a week-to-week basis. IF you're looking for a replacement in his absence, Az-Zahir Hakim should start in his place.

Ahman Green- After missing back-to-back games for the Packers, Green sat out practice again on Tuesday. The Packers have a bye this week, so Green should have plenty of time to get healthy. He'll most likely get the start when they play in week 7.

Shaun Alexander- The reigning MVP will be out again this Sunday with his cracked foot. All indications are that he will be back in week 7 though. Maurice Morris will start for him this week, and he is a very solid start going against a Rams defense that gave up 100 yards to Noah Herron last week.

Marty Booker- The Dolphins #2 WR will miss two weeks with a pectoral injury. That means it's top for one of my favorite players, Wes Welker, to jump into a starting role. He's been very productive so far this season, and Welker has even kicked before in an NFL game. Grab him if you need a WR.

Jeremy Shockey- The Giants TE is still listed as day-to-day in the injury report. Shockey is clearly hurt and far from 100%. He really needs a week off to recover from all his injuries, and don't be surprised if he gets it.

Larry Johnson- Despite being on the receiving end of a vicious facemask on Sunday and having to come off the field, it appears that Larry Johnson will play this week for the Chiefs. For all of you who picked up Dee Brown, it's okay you can drop him now.

Larry Fitzgerald- The receiver on the verge of stardom seems like he will be sidelined somewhere in the range of 2-5 weeks. If you're looking for a replacement for him, Bryant Johnson should assume his starting role. Johnson played well after Fitzgerlad went down on Sunday, and should put up decent numbers with Anquan Boldin now most likely to see double teams.
