"At this point in tim= e, I'm on schedule to play this Sunday," Davis said. Davis admitted that = his right knee remains sore, but he has been well enough to play on the sco= ut team the past two weeks. He remained on the scout team Wednesday. Davi= s was listed as questionable on the weekly injury report. Amani Toomer= , WR NYG - Kens Killers Updated 10/24/01 According to published reports= , Toomer might be benched in favor of WR Joe Jurevicius. Ike Hilliard will = join Jurevicius if Toomer is demoted. Toomer caught only three passes Monda= y night against the Eagles and did not have a reception for more than 10 ya= rds. Head coach Jim Fassel demoted Toomer last season, in an effort to moti= vate him. Wayne Chrebet , WR NYJ - DeWaynes Demons Updated 10/24/01 = Chrebet will miss Sunday's game at Carolina with a head injury. Coach Herma= n Edwards described Chrebet's ailment as "post-trauma migraines" and said h= e wanted to be extra cautious with the injury. Edwards said Chrebet passe= d the various tests and scans he was given. Chrebet will be replaced by Kev= in Swayne, a 26-year-old rookie who played in both the Arena League and the= XFL during the past year. He has now been playing football for 40 straight= weeks and has one catch for 19 yards in the NFL. Chris Sanders , WR = TEN - Free Agent Updated 10/24/01 Sanders will not require surgery on his= back. He will be re-evaluated after receiving an injection. His return dat= e is unclear. Bert Emanuel , WR NE - Free Agent Updated 10/24/01 Eman= uel signed with the Detroit Lions on Wednesday. While the Lions are looking= for a receiver to help fill the void created by a season-ending injury to = Germane Crowell, Emanuel won't get the first crack at the job. Don't bother= picking him up. Hines Ward , WR PIT - Free Agent Updated 10/24/01 Wa= rd is day to day with an ankle injury. He is listed as probable for Monday'= s game against Tennessee. Germane Crowell , WR DET - Carsons Wildcats U= pdated 10/24/01 The Detroit Lions placed Crowell on injured reserve on Tu= esday with a torn patella tendon in his left knee, which ends his season. = Santana Moss , WR NYJ - Free Agent Updated 10/24/01 The New York Daily= News says there is still a noticeable hitch in Moss' stride as he rceovers= from knee surgery. The earliest the Jets expect him to return is Dec. 2. = Brett Favre , QB GB - Damons Doormats Updated 10/24/01 Favre skipped T= uesday's practice due to general soreness. With Green Bay on the bye this w= eek, expect him to be fully recovered in time for Week Eight. Marvin Min= nis , WR KC - Woltys Wonders Updated 10/24/01 Early indications this wee= k were Minnis would return to the starting lineup. But the Kansas City Star= notes Chris Thomas is still working with the first team in practice. There= is no official word on which player will start on Thursday against the Col= ts. Larry Foster , WR DET - Free Agent Updated 10/24/01 According to = the Detroit Free Press , Foster is expected to start in Germane Crowell's p= lace Sunday against Cincinnati. Foster is an inexperienced wideout not wort= hy of picking up in Fantasy leagues right now. Monitor his progress over th= e next few weeks. Marcus Robinson , WR CHI - Free Agent Updated 10/24/0= 1 The Bears placed Robinson on injured reserve on Tuesday with torn ligam= ents in his left knee, effectively ending his season. Drop him unless you p= lay in a keeper league. Neil Rackers , K CIN - Free Agent Updated 10/24= /01 According to the Cincinnati Enquirer , the Bengals worked out three k= ickers, and did not sign one. Rackers' job is temporarily safe, but he is a= big Fantasy risk because of his erratic play. Todd Pinkston , WR PHI -= Woltys Wonders Updated 10/24/01 Pinkston has a strained wrist but is exp= ected to play in Sunday's game. He will be evaluated on a day to day basis.= Ron Dixon , WR NYG - Free Agent Updated 10/24/01 Dixon missed Monda= y game because of a sprained ankle. He has made progress in his recovery an= d might play this week. Joe Jurevicius , WR NYG - Drunk Monkeys Updated= 10/24/01 Ike Hilliard regained his starting position Monday, returning J= urevicius to the role of a reserve. Jurevicius was productive as a starter = in Hilliard's absence. However, he will be useless as the No. 3 receiver. T= here is a chance that he could return to starting lineup and replace Amani = Toomer. Toomer has been inconsistent this season. Jurevicius played alongsi= de Hilliard a few times in Sunday's game while Toomer stood on the sideline= s. Reggie Swinton , WR DAL - Free Agent Updated 10/24/01 Swinton is = suffering from a hamstring injury and is questionable for Sunday's game aga= inst Arizona. "He [Swinton] worked with the trainers on Monday and did some= things, but he didn't do enough to say for sure he will be available," sai= d head coach Dave Campo. Darrin Chiaverini and Raghib Ismail will get more = playing time in his absence. Joey Galloway , WR DAL - Free Agent Updat= ed 10/24/01 Galloway is listed as questionable for this week's game again= st the Cardinals, but the Cowboys are optimistic about his chances of playi= ng. He is recovering from a sprained foot. "We're expecting some limited pr= actice tomorrow, so I would say he is questionable from the standpoint that= it will depend on how he improves the next two or three days," said head c= oach Dave Campo. Darrin Chiaverini , WR DAL - Free Agent Updated 10/= 24/01 Chiaverini practiced Monday and is listed as probable for Sunday's = game against the Cardinals. He is recovering from a left knee injury. R= aghib Ismail , WR DAL - Free Agent Updated 10/24/01 Ismail, recovering f= rom a sprained knee, practiced Monday without any problems. He is listed as= probable for this week's game. Ricky Watters , RB SEA - Free Agent Up= dated 10/23/01 According to the Tacoma News Tribune , Seahawks Head Coach= Mike Holmgren says that Watters will return to the starting lineup as soon= as he's healthy, which could be another month or longer. "We'll cross that= bridge when we come to it," Holmgren said. "I would be surprised if I didn= 't insert Ricky back into the lineup. He was our best player when he got hu= rt. Shaun (Alexander) has come in and played well. But I would suspect that= when Ricky can play, he'll play again." If you have the roster room, it wo= uld be a good idea to stash both backs on your team to ensure you're safe i= f Watters takes the job back from Alexander down the stretch. Trent Dilf= er , QB SEA - Free Agent Updated 10/23/01 Dilfer was unable to practice = on Monday due to a groin injury. He has lost the starting QB job to Matt Ha= sselbeck, and shouldn't be on any Fantasy rosters at this point. Matt Ha= sselbeck , QB SEA - Free Agent Updated 10/23/01 Hasselbeck will be the S= eahawks' starting quarterback for Sunday's game against Miami, according to= the Seattle Post-Intelligencer . He replaces Trent Dilfer, who stood in fo= r Hasselbeck as he was sidelined with a pulled groin. This isn't a very fav= orable matchup for Hasselbeck from a Fantasy perspective, so don't use him = this week. Wayne Chrebet , WR NYJ - DeWaynes Demons Updated 10/23/01 = The Jets have listed Chrebet as questionable for next Sunday's game at Caro= lina. He will have an MRI on Tuesday to determine the extent of the concuss= ion he suffered Sunday against the Rams. Dedric Ward , WR MIA - Free Ag= ent Updated 10/23/01 Ward missed Monday's practice due to a foot injury. = He is expected to miss Sunday's game at Seattle, and isn't a useful Fantasy= player at this point in the season. Lamar Smith , RB MIA - Drunk Monke= ys Updated 10/23/01 Smith did not practice Monday due to an ankle injury.= He is still expected to play Sunday in Seattle, so don't be afraid to use = him this week. Marvin Minnis , WR KC - Woltys Wonders Updated 10/23/01 = Chiefs Head Coach Dick Vermail said Monday that Minnis might start ahead = of Chris Thomas in Thursday's game against Indianapolis. We don't recommend= you use either receiver despite the fact that the Colts' secondary is hard= ly imposing. Neither player is going to be a clear-cut starter this week. = Jerome Pathon , WR IND - Jugg or Nuts Updated 10/23/01 Pathon might mi= ss his third straight game Thursday at Kansas City due to a sprained right = foot. Don't use him this week. Terrence Wilkins , WR IND - Commissioner= Updated 10/23/01 Wilkins is questionable for Thursday's game at Kansas C= ity due to broken ribs. We don't recommend you use him in a Fantasy league = this week. Terrell Davis , RB DEN - Jugg or Nuts Updated 10/23/01 Dav= is is still targeting Sunday's game against New England as his comeback gam= e from arthroscopic knee surgery, but the Broncos have not decided whether = they will activate him. He will work in practice this week and the Broncos = hope to know by Wednesday whether Davis can play. We don't recommend you us= e Davis in a Fantasy league unless it's absolutely certain he's Denver's st= arting running back and is 100 percent healthy. More Updates Player N= ews Teams [IMAGE] Carsons Wildcats Player News Germane Crowell , Re= serve WR Updated 10/24/01 The Detroit Lions placed Crowell on injured rese= rve on Tuesday with a torn patella tendon in his left knee, which ends his = season. Rob Moore , Reserve WR Updated 10/23/01 According to Cardinals= coach Dave McGinnis, Moore may not play a regular season game this season.= Moore, who has been dealing with a hamstring injury, continues to have set= backs in his recovery. "I was hoping we'd see him by now, McGinnis told the= Arizona Republic . "That's why we both handled it like we did in training = camp and we paced him. We were planning to have him from the start. I can't= tell you when he'll be back. Until he can practice for a couple of weeks, = we won't have him." If Moore is still on your Fantasy roster, now is the ti= me to let him go. Freddie Jones , Active TE Updated 10/22/01 Jones spr= ained his ankle against Denver. His current status is day to day. Michae= l Pittman , Active RB Updated 10/21/01 Pittman had a great outing on Sund= ay against Kansas City, posting 137 yards of total offense and a touchdown.= Pittman won't post numbers this good with any regularity, but he's still a= valuable player to have on your roster. LaDainian Tomlinson , Active R= B Updated 10/21/01 Tomlinson was held in check for the first time this sea= son by Denver on Sunday. The rookie tailback rushed for only 58 yards on th= e day, but he's still one of the top Fantasy players in the league. Ahma= n Green , Reserve RB Updated 10/19/01 Green will get the bulk of his numb= ers in the second half if Green Bay can get ahead of Minnesota early. He wi= ll definitely be good for at least one TD. Shannon Sharpe , Active TE U= pdated 10/19/01 Expect Sharpe to have another solid week, as far as tight = ends are concerned. He is the team's leader in receptions and should get a = reasonable amount of balls thrown his way. Don't be surprised if he scores = a touchdown as well. Sharpe is overdue for a score. He had five TD catches = in 2000 but hasn't scored one this season. Kurt Warner , Active QB Upda= ted 10/18/01 Considering the huge numbers he puts up on a consistent basis= , Warner is a a must-start every week. He'll post another big game against = the New York Jets on Sunday, so be sure to put him your lineup. Torry Ho= lt , Active WR Updated 10/18/01 Holt has the potential to post big number= s against a shaky N.Y. Jets secondary on Sunday. He's a big time Fantasy wi= deout and should be in your starting lineup on a weekly basis. Mark Brun= ell , Reserve QB Updated 10/17/01 Brunell is no longer being bothered by = headaches and is expected to play in Week Six. Look for him to throw for ov= er 200 yards and a score. Vikings , Reserve DT Updated 09/26/01 The Vi= kings signed former Buffalo safety Henry Jones this week. He'll replace Rob= ert Griffith, who broke his leg during Sunday's game against Chicago. The m= ove won't make Minnesota's secondary much better than it was, however, and = doesn't improve the unit overall from a Fantasy perspective. Steve Chris= tie , Reserve K Updated 09/11/01 According to published reports, Christie= has been released by the Buffalo Bills. Christie, who was placed on injure= d reserve due to a groin injury last week, will have an MRI on Tuesday. Dro= p Christie now if you haven't already done so, and consider picking up Jake= Arians, who has taken over the placekicking duties in Buffalo. Travis P= rentice , Reserve RB Updated 09/03/01 Prentice was traded to the Vikings,= where he might see some work as a No. 2 RB, at best. He's not worth a Fant= asy draft choice right now. Rams , Active DT Updated 08/30/01 Head Coa= ch Mike Martz announced that safeties Kim Herring (hamstring) and Adam Arch= uleta (hamstring), linebackers Mark Fields (thigh) and London Fletcher (ham= string) and CB Aeneas Williams (back) will be held out of the Rams' final p= reseason game. However, they will all be ready for the season opener agains= t Philadelphia on September 9. The Rams defense is worth a late-round selec= tion on Draft Day. Matt Stover , Active K Updated 12/08/00 Stover need= s just nine more field goals over the final three weeks of the season to br= eak the NFL single-season record of 39 (Olindo Mare, 1999). Expect him to g= et plenty of chances against San Diego on Sunday, and ensure that he's in y= our active playoff lineup each week.
