FANTASY MD

After missing last week's game with an ankle injury, it once again is unclear whether Marques Colston will play on Sunday. He is reportedly not at full speed during practice this week and is a game-time decision. If he can't go Devery Henderson is once again a great option.

Reuben Droughns has been struggling with an ankle injury the past few weeks, but now it appears even when he's healthy, his job won't be waiting for him. Droughns appears to have been benched by Coach Crennel for Jason Wright for the remainder of the season. Droughns is confused and so am I. Regardless, Wright is not a very good fantasy option.

Ronnie Brown's hand injury will cause him to miss two-three weeks for the Dolphins. He will most likely be back in week 16 for the fantasy football finals. In the meantime his backup Sammy Morris will carry the load. With matchups against Jacksonville and New England looming, Morris isn't a very good pickup.

Another Saints WR on the mend is Joe Horn. He's listed as questionable with a groin injury and sat out practice on Wednesday. Horn played last week, and he is much more likely to play Sunday than his teammate Colston.

It was thought earlier in the week that Santana Moss may miss this Sunday's game with a hamstring injury. However, he's not listed in the injury report which means he should be a safe bet against the struggling Atlanta defense.

When referring to his RB Frank Gore who is listed as questionable this week with an ankle injury, Coach Nolan said that Gore was probable. This is a sign that there is no doubt in the organization that Gore will be available to suit up on Sunday.

As a result of a wrist injury Vikings RB Chester Taylor is questionable for this week's game against Chicago. He should play, but may not be a great idea against a good defense. Taylor needs 1 yard for 1000, and I would hope he would get at least that if he plays.

The biggest injury concern currently is Jamal Lewis who is questionable with a foot injury. The reason it is so important is that Lewis plays tonight and not Sunday. Lewis should play, but may not get as many carries as usual. It's supposed to rain hard tonight, so expect Baltimore to keep it on the ground regardless of who is carrying it.

DeShaun Foster is questionable again this week with an elbow injury. He probably has a 50/50 chance of playing after practicing on Wednesday. The injury doesn't seem to have improved much since last week when he had to miss the game. If Foster can''t go, DeAngelo Williams is a pretty good matchup against Philadelphia.
