FANTASY MD
After the game on Monday, it was feared that Joseph Addai may miss significant time with an ankle injury. However, as it turns out he won't miss any time at all. If he does indeed play, he has a great matchup against Houston which would be a fantasy matchup almost too enticing to pass up.
Rumors have circulated that Joe Horn may be held out for the rest of the season. For now though he is still being updated week to week by the Saints. He is listed as questionable for the game on Sunday, but it would shock me if he actually plays.
Ronnie Brown has missed three straight games this season due to his broken hand, but it appears like he will be all systems go on Monday night. Although he has been a disappointment this season, Brown has a great matchup against the Jets on Monday. He should play a huge role in fantasy championships considering he'll be the last significant offensive player to play.
On a team plagued by injuries, the latest to feel the pain is RB Brandon Jacobs. He hurt his ankle last week against Philadelphia, but Jacobs is extremely confident that he will play. If he does miss the game, Tiki Barber's value will rise because he'll receive the goal line work.
Patriots TE Ben Watson missed last week's game with an ankle injury, and it appears like he will once again be out for the Patriots on Sunday. It's likely that Watson won't be truly healthy till the playoffs so he's safe to drop.
I knew it was impossible. I knew I would never see it. What I speak of is Fred Taylor making it through an entire season without injury. After pulling up lame last weekend, it would be a shock if Taylor suits up on Sunday. Maurice Jones-Drew owners should feel safe to start him, but he does have a rather tough matchup against New England.
Both Derrick Mason and Todd Heap are questionable for the game this weekend. This is an every week occurrence for these two guys, but with a playoff spot secured there's a chance they could be rested. It's a situation to watch for the weekend.
The latest event in the horrible sophomore season of Cadillac Williams is his foot injury. He's missed two straight practices and looks like he will be out for Sunday's game as well. It's unlikely anyone was seriously considering starting Caddy, so this is not as big of an issue as it was a year ago.
Originally it was thought that Jake Delhomme would only miss one game due to his thumb injury. Now he looks like he will miss his third in a row. The thumb has not improved at all, and it looks like Delhomme may be shut down for the year. Chris Weinke will start again and bring down the entire Panthers offense.
Laurence Maroney has shown a lot of improvement in practice this week after missing the last two games with an injury to his ribs. He should be able to play this week, but nothing will be definite until Sunday morning. Regardless, he has a tough matchup in Jacksonville.
Just because he's a big name, I'll give you guys an update on Randy Moss. It's rather unlikely that he will be back for their game on Saturday night. While it also doesn't look like he'll play in week 17, I would consider starting him if he does because Moss played extremely well last year in the final game, and may want to show some potential suitors he still has something left. It appears his days are done in Oakland, and I would guess that Jacksonville would be a likely destination next season.
