Week 4 Fantasy Injury Report

The Counselor is IN:

Cardinals:
Off Week 3


Falcons:
Off Week 3


Ravens:
TE L.J. Smith has a back injury and is questionable for Sunday. Smith is a backup TE who should not be owned.

WR Derek Mason is questionable with an undisclosed illness.

WR Kelly Washington has a groin pull and is probable. Washington should only be an off week play in a deep league.



Bills:
WR James Hardy is out indefinitely due to recovering from ACL surgery.



Panthers:
Off Week 3


Bears:
TE Desmond Clark is probable with a broken rib. He recovered faster than expected.

RB Matt Forte has a knee injury and is probable. He will play this weekend.


Bengals:
RB Cedric Benson is probable with an ankle sprain. He fully practiced on Thursday and Friday.


Browns:
RB Jamal Lewis has a hamstring injury and is questionable for this weekend. I would not expect him to play. I hope you are not relying on Lewis to still be a starter on your team.

K Phil Dawson is doubtful with a calf injury. Look for Former Cowboy Billy Cundiff to continue to kick for the Browns.


Cowboys:
RB Marion Barber III is probable with a Quadricep injury. Barber will play but it has been announced that he will not start the game. I would expect him to get the goal line carries unless he re-injures himself.

RB Felix "The Cat" Jones has a knee injury and is out for Sunday.


Broncos:
RB Peyton Hillis has a head injury and is probable.

WR Brandon Stokley is questionable with a thigh injury. He will be a game time decision.


Lions:
RB Kevin Smith has a shoulder injury and is questionable. He took part in most of practice. He declared that he will play this weekend.


Packers:
RB Brandon Jackson is out with an ankle injury.

WR Greg Jennings has a wrist injury and is probable. He fully practiced on Saturday and is expected to play on Monday night.


Texans:
WR Andre Davis has as concussion and is probable for Sunday. Davis has minor fantasy value when healthy and is only worth owning is large leagues.

RB Chris Brown is questionable with a shin injury. He fully practiced on Friday after being limited earlier in the week. It is a 50/50 call.



Colts:
WR Anthony Gonzalez has a sprained PCL ligament in his right knee and is out until mid October.


Jaguars:
No significant fantasy injuries.

Chiefs:
RB Kolby Smith is out with a knee injury.

WR Dwayne Bowe has a hamstring injury and is questionable. He was limited in practice on Friday. Leave Bowe on the bench this week.


Dolphins:
QB Chad Pennington was placed on the Injured Reserve with a shoulder injury.


Vikings:
QB Brett Favre is probable with a foot injury. He was limited in practice on Saturday. Don't worry about Brett. The Iron Man of the NFL will not miss Monday for a revenge match against the Pack.

TE Jim Kleinsasser is probable with a hand injury. He fully practiced on Friday.


Patriots:
RB Laurence Maroney is probable with a thigh injury. Maroney should play this weekend but he has very limited value in the pass happy Patriot offense.

WR Wes Welker has a knee injury and is questionable. He was limited in practice all week. I would not start him unless you have to this week.

QB Tom Brady has been listed as probable with a shoulder injury. He almost is always listed as probable. He will play but may have a difficult time against the Ravens' pass rush.


Saints:
RB Mike Bell is out and is expected to be out for a few weeks.

WR Lance Moore is probable with a hamstring injury. I would expect him to play.


Giants:
WR Hakeem Nicks has a foot injury and is probable.

WR Domenik Hixon is out with a knee injury.

RB Ahmad Bradshaw has an ankle injury and probable.


Jets:
No significant fantasy injuries.

WR Chaz Schilens has a foot injury and he is doubtful for the week. He is recovering from foot surgery.

WR Johnnie Lee Higgins is probable with a shoulder injury.


Eagles:
Off Week 3


Steelers:
RB Willie Parker is out with a turf toe injury.


Chargers:
RB LaDainian Tomlinson has an ankle injury and is probable. He appears ready to play on Sunday but it is unsure if he will start and get the majority of the carries. He is a gamble to help you this week.

49ers:
RB Frank Gore is out with a right ankle injury.

TE Vernon Davis has a shin injury and is probable. Davis has been preforming well this season. He will play and is worth starting.


Seahawks:
QB Matt Hasselbeck has a rib injury and is doubtful. I would not count on him to play this week.


Rams:
QB Marc Bulger is questionable with a shoulder injury. Bulger is no longer a fantasy option in most leagues.


Buccaneers:
WR Antonio Bryant is questionable with a knee injury. He will be a game time decision.

RB Earnest Graham has hamstring injury and is probable. He fully practiced on Friday.

RB Carnell "Cadillac" Williams is probable with a sore left knee. He also fully practiced on Friday.

RB Derek Ward has a knee injury and is questionable.

K Mike Nugent is probable with a Quadricep injury. He is expected to kick on Sunday.


Titans:
RB Lendale White is probable with an illness. He should play this weekend.
