The Counselor is IN:
Here are the Week 8 fantasy injuries and my commentary.
Cardinals:
TE Ben Patrick has a knee injury and is questionable for this weekend. He missed practice this week. I would not count on him playing.
TE Leonard Pope is out with an ankle injury and will not play on Sunday.
WR Anquan Boldin has a head injury and is questionable for Sunday. The plan is for Boldin to play in 30 to 35 snaps of this game. That might be enough to be better than his fantasy substitute. If you have a quality WR to replace him with, then let Boldin ride the bench. If not, then start him and hope.
Falcons:
WR Laurent Robinson is probable with a knee injury. He returned to practice and should be ready to play this weekend. You might see a few less snaps by Jenkins. Robinson should only be an off week replacement at this time.
Ravens:
RB Willis McGahee has a sore knee and is probable. He fully practiced on Friday. He will play this weekend. The Ravens are committed to the RB by committee but McGahee seems to be getting the most playing time.
WR Demetrius Williams is questionable with an ankle injury. He did not practice on Friday. It does not look positive for him to play this weekend.
WR Yamon Figurs is out for this weekend with a knee injury. He did not practice this week.
WR Derek Mason has an undisclosed illness and is questionable. He missed some practice with this illness. I hope it is not Staph from the Browns.
Bills:
No significant fantasy injuries.
Panthers:
WR D.J. Hackett is questionable with a sprained MCL. He fully practiced for the first time on Friday since his injury. I don't believe he will play this weekend.
Bears:
Off Week 8
Bengals:
K Shayne Graham is probable with a sore groin. He practiced on Friday and appears to be ready to play this weekend.
QB Carson Palmer has an elbow injury and is out. It is likely that he is out for the year.
WR T.J. Houshmandzadeh is probable with an ankle injury. He fully practiced on Friday. He will be ready to play this weekend but his value is limited with Palmer out.
WR Antonio Chapman has an ankle injury and is questionable. He missed practice this week.
Browns:
TE Kellen Winslow is out with a team suspension. He revealed he has been battling a Staph infection and that the Browns asked him to keep it quiet. The Browns did not like this. I can see a big fight coming with the Players Union. I would bet the Winslow will eventually get paid for this weekend even though he is suspended by the Browns.
TE Steve Heiden has a pectoral injury and is listed as probable. I expect Heiden to play this weekend with Winslow suspended.
Cowboys:
QB Tony Romo is questionable with a broken right pinky finger. Most experts believe that Tony will be out until after the week 10 off week. If something happens to Johnson during the game, Tony would be available.
WR Sam Hurd was put on the Injury Reserve and had ankle surgery.
Broncos:
Off Week 8
Lions:
TE Michael Gaines has a knee injury and is questionable. He is their top TE with
Packers:
Off Week 8
Texans:

Colts:
TE
RB Joesph Addai has a hamstring injury and is questionable. He did not practice on Friday. He will be a game time decision.
Jaguars:
WR Mike Walker is out with a knee injury.
WR Matt Jones is available for this weekend. This is news because it was expected he would be suspended for Cocaine possession. It appears the suspension will not come before this weekend's games.
Chiefs:
QB Brodie Croyle has been placed in the Injured Reserve which ends his season.
QB Damon Huard has been placed in the Injured Reserve which ends his season. Message to the Chiefs: I am available to play QB for your team. I only ask to be paid the Minimum salary for this season. I have vast QB experience on Madden. I believe I can lead your team as well as any of your QBs this season.

No significant fantasy injuries.
