Week 5 Injury Report – NFL Injuries

admin — Sun, 05 Oct 2008 02:32:08 +0000

QB Carson Palmer, Cincinnati Bengals
After sitting out last week, Carson Palmer is listed as questionable for Week 5. However, the good news for fantasy football owners is that Palmer is expected to play in Week 5 despite his elbow injury.

QB Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay Packers
Rodgers is listed officially as questionable and is being called a game-time decision. That said, it’s looking more and more likely that he’ll play.

RB Brian Westbrook, Philadelphia Eagles
Westbrook was unable to play last week due to an ankle injury. This week he has practiced and very well could play.

RB Willis McGahee, Baltimore Ravens
McGahee is questionable and will be a gametime decision. Look elsewhere for a safe start.

WR Anquan Boldin, Arizona Cardinals
Boldin is out for Week 5 after undergoing face surgery.

WR Brandon Lloyd, Chicago Bears
Due to a hip injury, Brandon Lloyd will be out in Week 5.

WR David Patten, New Orleans Saints
Patten has been ruled out for Week 5.

WR Deion Branch and Bobby Engram, Seattle Seahawks
Although neither wide receiver has played this season, both are expected to play in Week 5.

WR Justin Gage, Tennessee Titans
Gage is listed as doubtful and is expected to miss Week 5 of the fantasy football season.

WR Plaxico Burress, New York Giants
Burress will not play in Week 5 due to suspension.

TE LJ Smith, Philadelphia Eagles
Although listed as questionable, the latest indications are that Smith should be able to play.

Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups – Fantasy Football

admin — Wed, 24 Sep 2008 02:20:54 +0000

QB Trent Green, St. Louis Rams
With Marc Bulger out of a starting quarterback job, Trent Green is the new man in charge. He has talent on his offensive unit so he may be able to shine.

RB Michael Pittman, Denver Broncos
For the third straight week Michael Pittman scored a touchdown. While the Broncos are using a three-headed monster at running back, Pittman is arguably the most valuable due to his goal line carries.

WR Brandon Lloyd, Chicago Bears
Although the Bears remain weak at wide receiver, Brandon Lloyd has emerged as their top wideout. He had a big week in Week 3 and should remain Chicago’s go-to guy.

TE Donald Lee, Green Bay Packers
Aaron Rodgers seems to be getting more comfortable with using his tight end, which is good news for Donald Lee. He’s not a spectacular starter at this point but he should be solid.

Brandon Lloyd 2008 Fantasy Projections

admin — Mon, 17 Mar 2008 10:28:45 +0000

Brandon Lloyd is an example of an immensely talented player who has yet to figure it all out. In terms of making acrobatic catches, there are few wide receivers in Lloyd’s league. However, Lloyd struggles with routine plays and his work ethic has oftentimes been questioned.

The Chicago Bears recently signed Lloyd after losing both Muhsin Muhammad and Bernard Berian to free agency. Lloyd, along with Marty Booker, will be asked to pick up the slack at wide receiver. The Bears are taking a bit of a gamble with Lloyd because he’s been more of a tease than a productive football player so far in his career.

If Lloyd grows up mentally and puts in the work, Lloyd could be a free agent steal. If he doesn’t, there’s a good chance that he’ll be buried on the depth charts – even if wide receiver is currently a weakness for the Bears.

Lloyd won’t be more than a late round flyer in fantasy football in 2008. Chances are he’ll total about 600 yards and pull down around two or three touchdowns. His ceiling is much higher, which may tempt some fantasy football owners.
