Week 11 Fantasy Injuries Weekend Ed.

The Counselor is IN:


Cardinals:
TE Ben Patrick has a knee injury and is probable for this weekend. He practiced this week and should play. There is a rumor that the coaching staff is not pleased with Patrick.

TE Leonard Pope is probable with an ankle injury. He did practice fully this week.


TE Jerame Tuman has an ankle injury and is probable. He practiced this week. He should not have any fantasy value with the return of Pope and Patrick.



Falcons:

RB Michael Turner is probable with a hand injury. He practiced all week. Turner is a must start every week.


K Jason Elam
has a hip injury and is questionable. Elam is no longer a young man. A hip injury for a kicker is bad news. I would start your backup Kicker if Elam is your normal kicker.


Ravens:

WR Derrick Mason has a dislocated shoulder and is questionable. He was limited in practice with a non-contact jersey. I would leave Mason on the bench this week.


TE Daniel Wilcox
is questionable with a thigh injury. He continues to be questionable every week. Hopefully you have a better option at TE other than Wilcox.



Bills:

WR Josh Reed
is out with an Achilles/ankle injury.


WR James Hardy
has a strained hip flexor and is questionable for Monday Night. Hardy has a lot of potential but has not shown himself to be a fantasy player worth owning unless you are in a keeper league.


TE Robert Royal
is questionable with a sprained ankle. He injured it in practice this week.

RB Fred Jackson has a minor leg injury and is probable for Monday. He practiced all week and is expected to be available to be back up Lynch.



Panthers:

RB Jonathan Stewart has a heel injury and is probable. He fully practiced this week. He should play this weekend.



Bears:

QB Kyle Orton
has an ankle injury and is probable for this weekend. All signs point to Orton starting this weekend. He should be a safe start if you need him.



Bengals:
RB Cedric Benson
is probable with a back injury. He practiced on Friday. Hopefully Benson is not in your starting lineup.



Browns:

No significant fantasy injuries.



Cowboys:

TE Jason Witten is probable with a rib injury. He is expected to play. He should see a lot of action against the Redskins.


QB Tony Romo
has a broken pinkie and is probable for Sunday. Romo is starting and the Cowboys are hoping he is the spark they badly need.


RB Felix Jones
is out with a hamstring injury. The Cowboys were hoping he could play but not this week.


WR Isaiah Stanbeck
has a shoulder injury and is questionable. He is not expected to play.



Broncos:
No significant fantasy injuries.



Lions:

QB Dan Orlovsky is doubtful with two fractures and a torn ligament in his right thumb. He is considering season ending surgery. It is a tough break during a contract year. He was not worth starting on your fantasy team anyway.


WR Mike Furrey
has a concussion and is questionable. He did not practice earlier in the week.


Packers:
QB Aaron Rogers is probable with a shoulder injury. He fully practiced this week.



Texans:
WR Andre Davis has a finger injury and is doubtful. He was limited in practice this week.


QB Matt Schaub is out with a knee injury. He is expected to be out for at least 3 more weeks.



Colts:
WR Reggie Wayne is questionable with an ankle injury. He practiced on Friday but not on Wednesday or Thursday. I expect him to play this weekend but I would not start him until you can confirm he is active for this weekend.


WR Anthony Gonzalez
has a hamstring injury and is questionable. He is in the same situation as Wayne.



Jaguars:

RB Fred Taylor is probable with a neck injury. He did not practice this week. Is this the return of "Glass legs" Taylor?


WR Matt Jones
has a thigh injury and is questionable. He was limited in practice earlier in the week missed practiced on Friday.


WR Troy Williamson
is out with a groin injury.


RB Greg Jones
has an ankle injury and is questionable. Jones is at best a backup riding your bench.



Chiefs:

RB Jamaal Charles is probable with an ankle injury. He is expected to play.


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.



Dolphins:
No significant fantasy injuries.



Vikings:
No significant fantasy injuries.



Saints:

RB Aaron Stecker is probable with a hamstring injury. He fully practiced this week. He is expected to play.


RB Reggie Bush
has a knee injury and is out. Bush continues to be out with his knee injury.


K Garrett Hartley is probable with a back injury. He should play this weekend.


WR Marques Colston
has a knee injury and is probable. He was limited in practice this week.



Patriots: (Thurs game)
RB LaMont Jordan
is questionable with a right calf injury. He did not practice on Thursday.


RB Sammy Morris
has a knee injury and is listed as questionable. There is some discussion of him playing on Thursday night.


RB Lawrence Maroney
has a shoulder injury and was placed on the injured reserve list. He is done for the season.



Giants:
No significant fantasy injuries.



Jets: (Thurs Game)
WR Laveranues Cole
has a thigh injury and is probable. He played on Sunday and will play on Thursday.


K Mike Nugent
is listed as questionable for this week with a thigh injury. There is a chance he will play. I would not start Nugent at this time.


WR Jerricho Cotchery
has a shoulder injury and is probable. He played on Sunday and should play on Thursday.



Raiders:

RB Darren McFadden is questionable with a turf toe injury. He practiced on Friday. He is expected to play this weekend.


QB Andrew Walter
has a calf injury and is questionable. He has missed practice all week.


QB JaMarcus Russell
is questionable with endinitis in his right knee. He practiced on Friday and most of Thursday.


WR Javon Walker
has an ankle injury and is out. He is expecting to be out for the rest of the year.


WR Chaz Schilens
is questionable and has an ankle injury. He will be a game time decision.



Eagles:
RB Michael Westbrook is probable with a knee injury. He will play this weekend. He is a good start.


WR DeSean Jackson
has a groin injury and is probable. He practiced fully this week.



Steelers:

RB "Fast" Willie Parker
is probable for this weekend with a knee injury. He fully practiced on Friday. He is expected to play but he should only have limited carries this weekend.


QB Big Ben
Roethlisberger is probable with a shoulder injury. He fully practiced on Friday but missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday. He will be a game time decision.


WR Hines Ward
has a shoulder injury and is probable. He also did not practice early in the week but did not Friday.


TE Health Miller
is out with a high ankle injury. This is a big loss for the Steelers offense.


RB Rashard Mendenhal
has been placed in Injured Reserve for his fractured right arm.


Chargers:
No significant fantasy injuries.



Seahawks:
WR Deion Branch has a heel injury and is probable. He will be a game time decision. He should be back this weekend finally.


WR Koren Robinson
is probable with a knee injury. He is expected to play.


QB Matt Hasselbeck
has a back injury and is probable. He is likely to be back for this weekend. I would wait and see with Matt this weekend. If he has a good weekend, then you can start him next weekend.


QB Senca Wallace
is questionable with a groin injury. He did not practice this week. It is good for Seattle that Hasselbeck is expected back.


RB Julius Jones
is recovering from an illness earlier this week and is probable. He should play but is not a good fantasy starter.



49ers:

WR Arnaz Battle is out with a foot injury.


RB Frank Gore
has a neck strain and is probable. He practiced on Friday. He should play this weekend.


TE Delanie Walker
is questionable with a shoulder injury. He did not practice on Thursday.


WR Josh Morgan
has a groin injury and is out for this weekend.



Rams:

QB Trent Green has an elbow injury and is probable.


RB Steven Jackson
is out with a quad injury.


RB Antonio Pittman
is probable with a hamstring. It appears he will play and get plenty of playing time this weekend with Jackson out.



Buccaneers:

WR Ike Hillard is questionable with a shoulder injury. He fully practiced this week. It looks good for him to play. Hillard would be a decent WR 3 for an injury.


RB Earnest Graham
has a knee injury and is questionable. He is expected to play and split time this weekend.


RB Warrick Dunn
is questionable with a back injury. He is expected to play and split time this weekend with Graham.


RB Carnell Williams
has a knee injury and is questionable. He was activated from the PUP list. He may see very limited time. He should not be considered when setting a fantasy line up.


TE Alex Smith
is questionable with an ankle injury. He did not practice this week.



Titans:
WR Justin McCareins is questionable after a concussion. He missed practice this week.


Redskins:

RB Clinton Portis is questionable with a knee injury. He did not practice on Friday. He is expected to see very limited action.


WR Santana Moss
has a hamstring injury and is probable.


RB Ledell Betts
is questionable with a knee injury. He sat out of practice on Friday as a precation. He is expected to play on Sunday against the Cowboys.


WR Devin Thomas
had stomach ailmen and is probable for Sunday. He should play with no issues.


WR Malcolm Kelly
is questionable with a knee injury. He practiced fully this week.
