The Answer Man

FANTASY MD

Tatum Bell- He's still suffering from injuries to both his toes, but he says he feels better and intends to play Sunday. Tatum should definitely suit up, but will lose a lot of carries to Mike Bell. Going against a tough Steelers defense it would be hard to start Tatum this week.

Larry Fitzgerald- After several weeks of sitting out, it appears that Fitz's hamstring has fully healed. The Cardinals have a bye this week, and all signs point to him getting the start for week 10.

Aaron Brooks- Despite making some improvement the last few days, Brooks is still doubtful with a shoulder injury for Monday Night against Seattle. Given the poor play of all Raiders' QBs it's likely that when he gets healthy, he will win back his starting job.

Lamont Jordan- The Raiders starting RB looks like he will be back on the field after missing the past two games due to a back injury. He's been very dissapointing this season, but goes against a Seattle defense that was just torn up by Larry Johnson. It would be hard to start Jordan though because his game is Monday night, and there's still a chance he may land on the inactive list.

Kellen Winslow Jr.- The leader in receptions for TEs is listed as questionable this week with a knee injury. It's become standard procedure the last few weeks for Winslow, who finds himself in the injury report almost as much as Brian Westbrook. He will play on Sunday, and is a great start.

Reggie Bush- After taking an intentional hit from Ravens LB Bart Scott, Bush left last week's game with an ankle injury. It does not appear like he will miss any time though, as he will play this week against Tampa Bay. It's a tough matchup for Bush, despite the Bucs being the only team to allow him to score this season. Definitely look for other options.

Joe Horn- Like Reggie Bush, Horn is also listed as questionable this week but should play. Horn is suffering from a groin injury, and although he'll play, he should be very unproductive against a Tampa defense that has seemed to find its groove again.

Joseph Addai/Dominic Rhodes- It seems like these players do everything again. Both Colts' RBs are listed as questionable this week, but this is more of Coach Dungy's way to combat Coach Bellicheck's famously long injury list. Addai should get more carries, but the Colts are facing a stout Patriots defense so production may be limited.

Santana Moss- The biggest injury question mark for Sunday is Redskins WR Santana Moss. He suffered a hamstring injury late in the Redskins game against the Colts, and he is questionable for this Sunday. It may be a game-time decision for the struggling wideout.

Fred Taylor- Although he tweaked his hamstring late in the Jaguars win over the Eagles, Taylor is listed as probable this week. Since he may be a little sore, Maurice Jones-Drew will pick up some extra carries, but Taylor will remain the feature back.

Byron Leftwich- After sitting out last week, much to his dismay, Leftwich will be back behind center for the Jaguars on Sunday. Matt Jones is healthy for the first time all year, so he should have all his weapons. Expect a big day against a thin Titans defense.

Greg Jennings- The rookie WR is another question mark for Sunday right now with his ankle injury. It would be a good matchup against the Bills if he could get in there, but the Packers are being very cautious with Jennings. Expect him to also be a game-time decision depending on how his Friday practice goes.
