COUNTDOWN TO GAMETIME

Bernard Berrian will be back in the lineup for the Bears after missing last week's game with a rib injury. He's their best deep threat, and he should have a pretty solid game against the Jets.

What looked doubtful all week became a conclusion on Sunday when Reuben Droughns was listed as inactive for the Browns game on Sunday. Jason Wright is the team's starting RB.

A time table set for Byron Leftwich's return from ankle surgery has him possibly returning in late December. Whether he starts for the Jaguars when he returns all depends on the play of David Garrard.

Shaun Alexander is likely to play on Sunday against the 49ers. It is unknown right now whether he'll get a full load of carries or split with Maurice Morris for this week.

Unlike his teammate it doesn't appear like Matt Hasselbeck will play on Sunday. He should be dressed and serve as Seneca Wallace's backup. Hasselbeck appears on target to start next week.

After missing the majority of the season with injury, Aaron Brooks is back for the Raiders on Sunday. His relationship with Randy Moss is poor, and both players are poor starts in fantasy this week.

Dolphins RB Ronnie Brown will start on Sunday despite a groin injury. Backup RB Sammy Morris should see some extra carries to lighten Brown's load. It's a bad matchup for Dolphins' RBs facing the #1 rush defense in football.

Cedric Houston is active for the Jets on Sunday. By playing he should steal some carries from both Leon Washington and Kevan Barlow. The leader in carries for the Jets seems to vary week to week, so neither RB is a good matchup against the Bears.
