Updated 11/22/00 Green will get one more week as the team's starter. He will start this Sunday vs. New Orleans, but Kurt Warner is expected to return for the December 3rd game at Carolina. This won't be the last you've heard from Green. There has been talk that he will take his services elsewhere next year in hopes of obtaining a starting job. For now look for Green to put up big numbers against the Saints defense this week. New Orleans has a strong pass rush but their corners won't be able to contain the Rams' receivers long enough for them to pressure Green. Lions , DT DET - FDIC Updated 11/22/00 Detroit had one of the top pass rushes in the NFL last year but are currently among the worst garnering a mere 22 sacks. The Lions could be primed for a turnaround in the final games of the season. Detroit's pass rush has been much improved since the resignation of head coach Bobby Ross. Robert Porcher has played especially well in the last two games tallying five sacks and forcing a fumble. Look for them to have a field day against the Patriots Sunday. New England has allowed an astonishing 38 sacks this season. Mario Bates , RB DET - Free Agent Updated 11/22/00 An MRI on Bates knee showed no structural damage and he is expected to play against the Patriots Thursday. Bates has been a reliable third-down back for the Lions but hasn't provided much help for Fantasy teams this season. Don't expect that to change when he faces the Patriots Thursday. James Stewart , RB DET - The Lie Downs Updated 11/22/00 Stewart was able to practice Tuesday and will play in Thursday's game against the Patriots. He suffered a hip-pointer injury Sunday that forced him to miss Monday's practice. Don't be surprised if Stewart struggles against the Patriots. If he isn't full strength he may have a hard time avoiding New England's linebackers. Marlon Barnes , RB CHI - Free Agent Updated 11/22/00 Barnes gained 11 yards on three carries against the Buccaneers Sunday. Starter James Allen will be back in the lineup once again this week after cutting his hand in last Sunday's game. Barnes will resume his role as a third-down back. He has played sparingly this season but could have a larger role in the offense next year. Eddie Kennison , WR CHI - Murder Inc. Updated 11/22/00 Kennison has been a major disappointment as the Bears' second receiver this season catching just one touchdown pass through 11 games. Things won't get any better this week when he faces a stingy Jets pass defense. New York has only given up 11 passing TDs all season. Kennison may get a few catches this week but don't expect him to score for your team. At this point it would be wise to bench him if you haven't already. Paul Edinger , K CHI - Free Agent Updated 11/22/00 Edinger has been on a roll lately making nine of his last ten field goals. He could have another big week against the Jets this week. The Bears shouldn't have any problems moving the chains -the Jets have given up a lot of yards this season but have managed to keep the opposition out of the end zone. New York's defense has also seen opposing offenses attempt an NFL-leading 28 field goals. If Edinger can remain accurate in the swirling New Jersey winds, he will have a big game. Bears , DT CHI - Free Agent Updated 11/22/00 Look for the Bears secondary to contribute a few interceptions for your Fantasy team this week as Chicago faces the Jets and QB Vinny Testaverde this week. Testaverde has thrown two or more interceptions in his last five games. But if the Bears don't put any pressure on Testaverde and Curtis Martin they will rip the defense apart. Chicago has a weak pass rush and an even softer run defense. Garrison Hearst , RB SF - Free Agent Updated 11/22/00 Hearst has been added to the 49ers' active roster. Head coach Steve Mariucci says he probably won't get into a game this season, so it wouldn't be wise to pick Hearst up as a free agent. He had spent the entire year on the physically-unable-to-perform list after missing all of last season while recovering from a career-threatening ankle injury. Keep an eye on Hearst though. If his condition continues to progress he could be a sleeper pick next year. Tony Horne , WR STL - Free Agent Updated 11/21/00 Horne, one of the league's best kick returners, will be out for four to six weeks after breaking a bone in his right foot during Monday night's game against Washington. He had a 24.2-yard average on kickoff returns, including a 103-yard touchdown. The Rams may use Az-Zahir Hakim, their punt returner, on kickoffs, but are more likely to sign someone. Charles Kirby , RB TB - Free Agent Updated 11/21/00 With Mike Alstott now out for at least the remainder of the regular season, Kirby is the only remaining true fullback on the Buccaneers' roster. Still, he was promoted from the practice squad just two weeks ago merely to serve as a blocker in short-yardage situations, so don't expect him to come close to the 12 carries per game Alstott was averaging. Warrick Dunn will be the primary focus of the running game. Marshall Faulk , RB STL - FDIC Updated 11/21/00 Faulk made an impressive return from arthroscopic surgery on his right knee last night against Washington, making nine catches for 88 yards and a touchdown while rushing for 33 yards on nine carries. He had the surgery just 14 days prior, so the Rams were light on his rushing load, but Faulk looked solid in his first game back. Expect him to be close to full strength when the Rams play New Orleans on Sunday. Will Blackwell , WR PIT - Free Agent Updated 11/21/00 The Steelers have activated Blackwell from the physically unable to perform list and placed him on their 53-man roster. He was placed on that list July 16 after suffering a May knee injury, and is an unrestricted free agent after the season. Still, don't count on much, if any, Fantasy value from Blackwell. Mario Bates , RB DET - Free Agent Updated 11/21/00 The Lions are awaiting results of an MRI performed on Bates' injured knee, which he sustained during Sunday's game against the Giants. He is less likely to play Thursday against New England than first-stringer James Stewart. James Stewart , RB DET - The Lie Downs Updated 11/21/00 Stewart was unable to practice with the team yesterday after suffering a hip pointer in Sunday's game against the Giants. With the Lions' next game coming Thursday against New England, there isn't much time for him to heal. Coach Gary Moeller thinks Stewart will be able to play through the injury. His status is more critical with backup Mario Bates also ailing. If neither can go, fullback Cory Schlesinger, running back Sedrick Irvin and special teams member Brock Olivo would fill in. Scott Mitchell , QB CIN - Free Agent Updated 11/21/00 Despite a sprained left knee that required a brace and had him limping yesterday, Mitchell is still hopeful he can play Sunday against Pittsburgh. He is listed on the injury report as doubtful after suffering a sprained MCL during last Sunday's game against New England, but an MRI performed yesterday revealed no damage. If Mitchell can play, he will get the start. He'll very likely play if it's physically possible. James Allen , RB CHI - FDIC Updated 11/21/00 The Chicago Sun-Times reports that Allen will not miss practice this week after suffering a cut on his right hand during Sunday's game against Tampa Bay. He should be ready to play next Sunday against the Jets. Cade McNown , QB CHI - Free Agent Updated 11/21/00 With Shane Matthews performing well as the starter, the Bears can afford to be patient with McNown as he recovers from a separated left shoulder. He threw 15-yard passes with Matthews before Sunday's game against Tampa Bay and will participate in some drills tomorrow. McNown could serve as the third quarterback next Sunday against the Jets. Chris Chandler , QB ATL - Murder Inc. Updated 11/21/00 Chandler might lose some playing time over the season's final weeks, as the Falcons try to evaluate rookie Doug Johnson for their future. This isn't a condemnation of the veteran Chandler, but his owners should make sure he's going to start each week before giving him the nod. Doug Johnson , QB ATL - Free Agent Updated 11/21/00 The Falcons might consider giving Johnson some playing time over the season's final weeks, as the team decides whether he can serve as the QB of the future or if one will need to be taken in next year's draft. If he is given a shot, those in keeper leagues should keep a close eye on his performance. Obafemi Ayanbadejo , RB BAL - Thrill Kill Cult Updated 11/21/00 Ayanbadejo will likely be inactive for Sunday's game against Cleveland. With Baltimore's bye week coming up after that, he will get an extra week to rest, and should be ready to roll against San Diego in Week 15. Donovan McNabb , QB PHI - Meximullets Updated 11/21/00 The Eagles' signal caller is really maturing right before our eyes. He completed 25-of-34 passes for 217 yards and accounted for two touchdowns in Sunday's win over Arizona. He will need to keep his composure next week against the Redskins, as the two teams battle for first place in the NFC East. The Eagles will need a huge performance from McNabb if they are to beat Washington, so give him a start this week in the big game. Albert Connell , WR WAS - FDIC Updated 11/21/00 Connell caught five passes for 96 yards in Monday night's win over the Rams. Washington will face a tough Eagles' secondary next week, which will be looking to keep their team in first place in the NFC East. If the 'Skins can establish their running game early, Connell could have a big game. Jeff George , QB WAS - The Snake Pit Updated 11/21/00 George was very impressive in Monday night's big win over St. Louis. He completed 24-of-34 passes for 269 yards and three touchdowns against the Rams, further clouding the quarterback situation in Washington. Starter Brad Johnson should know by Thursday if he is able to play next week against the Eagles, so keep tabs on his progress in the coming days if you have either of these players on your roster. Stephen Davis , RB WAS - Meximullets Updated 11/21/00 Davis accounted for 106 yards of total offense but didn't score a touchdown as Washington defeated St. Louis 33-20 on Monday night. It was the first time in seven weeks that Davis had been held out of the end zone. Look for the 'Skins to establish Davis early in the game next week against the Eagles in an effort to open up their passing game. Jon Kitna , QB SEA - Ramiro Updated 11/21/00 Head Coach Mike Holmgren has named Brock Huard the starter for this week's game against the Broncos, relegating Kitna to the Seattle bench. Kitna was named the AFC's Player of the Week two weeks ago, but it obviously wasn't enough to keep the starting job. Elvis Grbac , QB KC - Ramiro Updated 11/21/00 Grbac injured the index finger on his throwing hand against the Bills, but the injury won't likely keep him from playing this week against the Chargers. "We'll see Wednesday or Thursday," said Head Coach Gunther Cunningham, "but from what the doctors told me, I think the opportunity's there for him to play." Broncos , DT DEN - The Rounders Updated 11/21/00 Cornerback Ray Crockett will miss at least four games with a torn hamstring. The injury occurred on the final play of the third quarter while Crockett was chasing down Chargers' wideout Jeff Graham. Nine-year veteran Jimmy Spencer will take over Crockett's position until he returns. Akili Smith , QB CIN - Free Agent Updated 11/21/00 Smith looks likely to get the start when the Bengals play Pittsburgh next Sunday. Scott Mitchell, who started Sunday's game against New England, is listed as doubtful with a sprained left knee he suffered in that game. Just because Smith is starting doesn't mean you should do the same - he needs to get in gear before he'll have any Fantasy value. Terrell Davis , RB DEN - Thrill Kill Cult Updated 11/21/00 Davis will undergo another MRI this week on his injured leg and is having an expert in San Francisco cross-check the results. At this point, the Broncos are preparing for this week's game against Seattle as if Davis were unavailable. If you have Davis' backup, Mike Anderson, it seems like a good idea to include him in your starting lineup this week. More Updates Rosters?Teams?
