FANTASY MD

Terry Glenn- The Cowboys #2 WR has missed practice twice this week, and could be listed as questionable soon. He is expected to play, but clearly will not be at 100% on Sunday against the Cardinals.

Byron Leftwich- With all fantasy value gone right, this is just an update on the injury. Leftwich is probable this week and should be the team's backup QB. Unless David Garrard goes down, Leftwich will most likely be on the sidelines the rest of the season.

Tatum Bell- The Broncos RB is questionable once again with a toe injury. It's more likely that he will play this week against Oakland, however he should split carries with Mike Bell until he's 100%.

Rod Smith- The other injured Bronco is also listed as questionable this week. Smith has a better shot of playing than Tatum, but Smith doesn't have the fantasy value he once did. Javon Walker has assumed the role as the team's #1 WR.

Willis McGahee- The biggest injury of week 9 came to the ribs of Willis McGahee. First it was thought he'd only miss two weeks, but now it appears like a month is the more likely scenario. Anthony Thomas should be picked up in all leagues as he will get the benefit of playing Houston and Indy the next two weeks.

Shaun Alexander/Matt Hasselbeck- Both Seahawks stars are listed as doubtful this week. The most likely scenario is that Maurice Morris and Seneca Wallace will both get one more start this week against St. Louis. Alexander and Hasselbeck should both be back the following week.

Plaxico Burress- The Giants only remaining reliable WR is questionable again this week. It appears likely he'll play by what is coming out of Giants practice. He has called out the Bears secondary, and it should be a testy game once he suits up.

Amani Toomer- The veteran Giant had his season ended on Wednesday due to a torn ACL. This is more significant to the Giants than it is in the fantasy world. Jeremy Shockey should see more passes, and Tim Carter will see a greater role in the Giants offense.

Santana Moss- After missing last week's game, it'll take a good week of practice for Moss to get out there Sunday against Philadelphia. It's likely that he'll be listed as a game-time decision, and because of what took place last week, no one's value rises if he's out.

Bernard Berrian- One of the surprise WRs in football this season, will miss 2-4 weeks after being injured on Sunday. The Bears offense should rely on Thomas Jones and Desmond Clark to help them get in the endzone. Luckily, they face a banged up Giants defensive line.

Larry Fitzgerald- Fitz looks like he'll be good to go on Sunday after missing a handful of games due to injury. The Cards take on a Cowboys defense that has been decent so far this season. Expect Fitzgerald to put up his normal production.

Joe Horn- The now second best WR on the Saints is again questionable for their game on Sunday. It's likely that he will also be a game-time decision. If he does start, he's a decent matchup against a struggling Pittsburgh secondary.

Greg Jennings- The Packers decided that Jennings would rest all week until Friday's practice. Then they would decide if he can play on Sunday. See how practice goes because a decision will most likely be made then.
