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.

Waiver Wire Week 5 Sleepers – 2008 Fantasy

QB Kyle Orton, Chicago Bears
Kyle Orton pleased his fantasy football owners with a three touchdown performance in Week 4. In Week 5, Orton goes against the Detroit Lions, which makes him a nice waiver wire pickup.

RB Mewelde Moore, Pittsburgh Steelers
Willie Parker is hurt and Rashard Mendenhall is now also hurt and out for the season. That leaves the running back job in Pittsburgh to Mewelde Moore. He may be startable until Parker returns.

WR Steve Breaston, Arizona Cardinals
With Anquan Boldin getting injured in Week 4, Steve Breaston will likely move into a starting gig for as long as Boldin is out. In the high-powered Cardinals offense, that is a very good thing.

WR Lance Moore, New Orleans Saints
Marques Colston and Jeremy Shockey are injured and David Patten isn’t 100%. Lance Moore has now emerged as one of the players who Drew Brees will feature in New Orleans.

TE Dustin Keller, New York Jets
For the second consecutive week, Dustin Keller scored a touchdown. Even though he’s headed into a bye week, Keller is a tight end to keep an eye on.

Fantasy Football Week 16: Waiver Wire

admin — Wed, 19 Dec 2007 13:16:09 +0000

QB Brodie Croyle, Kansas City Chiefs
Truth be told, Croyle hasn’t been very good this season. He lost the starting job in preseason and when he’s gotten a chance to play during the season, he hasn’t done anything of note. That said, the Chiefs are playing against the struggling Detroit Lions this week. If Croyle is ever going to play well, now could be the time. If you are desperate QB, pick him up.

RB Dominic Rhodes, Oakland Raiders
With Justin Fargas getting hurt on Sunday, the starting job in Oakland looks to be headed into Rhodes’ hands. Rhodes hasn’t been overly successful this year but he should get a lot of carries from here on out. LaMont Jordan might also get some carries but it appears as if Rhodes is higher on the depth chart at the moment.

WR David Patten, New Orleans Saints
Drew Brees is playing very well and one of his biggest targets of late has been Patten. Ever since Reggie Bush got hurt, the Saints have turned into a pass happy team. Next to Marques Colston, Patten seems to be the best wide receiving option on the team. Expect him to continue get a lot targets over the next couple weeks.

TE Kevin Boss, New York Giants
With Jeremy Shockey out for the season with a broken fibula, the starting job should go to Boss. While you shouldn’t expect too much out of Boss, he has shown some glimpses of talent. With his size and good hands, he could very well turn into a red zone target for Eli Manning.
