Week13 Fantasy Injury Report - Weekend Edition

The Counselor is IN:

Here are the Week 13 fantasy injuries and my commentary. This is the Weekend Edition- which has more information than the Thursday Edition. I have included the latest information for all players.

Cardinals:
WR Larry Fitzgerald is questionable with a sore groin. Fitzgerald was limited in practice all week.

QB Kurt Warner is probable with a banged up left elbow. He practiced all week and will play on Sunday.

TE Eric Green was moved to the Injured Reserve with a Groin tear. Ouch! He is done for the year.

Falcons:
TE Alge Crumpler is probable with a foot injury. He did not practice on Thursday. He is still expected to play on Thursday.

QB Bryon Leftwich has an ankle injury and is questionable. The Falcons have decided to start Harrington. I would avoid their QB's like the plague.

WR Joe Horne is questionable with a hamstring injury. He was limited in practice on Wednesday. He will be a game time decision. I would keep him on the bench.


Ravens:
TE Daniel Wilcox is probable with a foot injury. He practiced fully on Friday.

TE Todd Heap is questionable for Monday's game with a hamstring injury. He did not practice on Friday. He is one of the best fantasy TE in the past has been out with injuries most of this year.

RB Willis McGahee has an ankle injury and is probable. He fully practiced on Friday.

Bills:
RB Marshawn Lynch is out with an ankle injury. It appears that Lynch will miss week 13.

RB Anthony Thomas is out with a calf injury.

Panthers:
QB Vinny Testaverde is probable with back stiffness. He practiced fully all week.

Bears:
KR Devin Hester is probable with a foot injury. He was limited in practice on Friday but is expected to play on Sunday.

RB Cedric Benson was placed on the IR for a left ankle injury. The only good news is for Adrian Peterson owners (Chicago- not Minnesota's Peterson)

WR Patrick Crayton is probable with a sprained ankle. He was able to practice on Tuesday. He is expected to play on Thursday.

Broncos:
RB Travis Henry is questionable with a partial tear of the posterior cruciate ligament in his left knee. He practiced fully on Friday. The Broncos are still awaiting the results of Henry's suspension appeal.

RB Selvin Young is probable with a knee injury. He fully practiced all week. It looks positive for Young to play this weekend.

Colts:
WR Marvin Harrison is questionable with a knee injury. He was limited in practice on Wednesday and did not practice on Thursday or Friday. He remains a game time decision. It appears that Peyton will have another week without Harrison.

49ers:
QB Alex Smith is OUT with a forearm injury. It appears he will be out at least the next 2 weeks and may have season ending surgery. Trent Dilfer will start this week for the 49ers. If you are starting a 49ers QB, your fantasy season is over.
