3.Browns | Harrison inactive (KFFL) Adam Schefter, of ESPN, reports Cleveland Browns RB Jerome Harrison has been deactivated for Week 11. 10 minutes
4.Smoot to start in place of benched CB Ro... (Rotoworld) Redskins CB Fred Smoot will start in place of benched CB Carlos Rogers on Sunday against the Cowboys. Analysis: Rogers fell for a Brandon Marshall double-move which resulted in a touchdown in last week's win. Smoot is an obviously weaker option but coach Jim Zorn is making a point. It's bad timing for Rogers, as he will be an unrestricted free agent after the season.14 minutes
5.Saints | Sharper to start (KFFL) Adam Schefter, of ESPN, reports New Orleans Saints FS Darren Sharper (knee) will return to the starting lineup during Week 11. He missed last week's game with a knee injury. 16 minutes
6.Giants declare inactives (Rotoworld) Giants declared WR Sinorice Moss, RB Gartrell Johnson, WR Ramses Barden, LB Antonio Pierce, OL Adam Koets, OT Guy Whimper, CB Domonique Johnson, and CB Kevin Dockery inactive for Week 11. Analysis: There are no surprises on this list. The only injured player is Pierce, who was diagnosed with a bulging disc in his neck Friday and is out indefinitely.16 minutes
7.Haynesworth out for Skins' matchup with ... (Rotoworld) Albert Haynesworth (ankle) will not play on Sunday against the Cowboys. Analysis: Haynesworth didn't practice during the week and was listed as questionable. Kedric Golston will get the start. Haynesworth has been dealing with nagging injuries all season and will miss his first game of the year. Upgrade the Cowboys' Marion Barber in this matchup.19 minutes
8.Larry Johnson to get eight carries? (Rotoworld) According to ESPN's Chris Mortensen, Larry Johnson should get "eight carries or so" Sunday at Oakland. Analysis: Mortensen says L.J.'s touch total will be dictated by the "flow of the game," however, so even eight carries may be an overestimation. L.J. hardly knows the offense after signing with the Bengals a week ago. He'll get some work in if the Bengals jump out to an early lead, but Johnson isn't a fantasy option.20 minutes
9.Falcons | White to play against New York (KFFL) ESPN reports Atlanta Falcons WR Roddy White (knee) will play during Week 11 versus the New York Giants. 23 minutes
10.Simms will start for Broncos against Bol... (Rotoworld) ESPN's Chris Mortensen confirms that Chris Simms will start for the Broncos on Sunday against the Chargers. Analysis: Starting Simms is the smart move for the Broncos, as they don't want to risk further injury to Kyle Orton's ankle. Simms was awful in relief of Orton last week, completing just 3-of-13 pass attempts with a pick. Look for the Broncos to try and pound the ball on the ground today.25 minutes
11.Falcons | Turner will not play (KFFL) Rachel Nichols, of ESPN, reports Atlanta Falcons RB Michael Turner (ankle) will not play during Week 11. He will be inactive. RB Jason Snelling will start in his place. 41 minutes
12.Turner will not play, Snelling starts fo... (Rotoworld) ESPN's Rachel Nichols reports that Michael Turner (ankle) will not play on Sunday against the Giants, and Jason Snelling will get the start for the Falcons. Analysis: Turner was listed as doubtful on the injury report and has no timetable for return. He is likely out for a couple of weeks with a high ankle sprain. Snelling and Aaron Stecker will try to fill in as best as they can for the Falcons. Struggling QB Matt Ryan will have to carry the offense with Turner absent.48 minutes
13.Kyle Orton (RotoWire) As of Saturday afternoon, Orton's ankle had not recovered enough to play, but the Broncos plan to give him one more try Sunday morning at Invesco Field, the Denver Post reports. Analysis: Unless a good night's sleep sleep does wonders for Orton's ankle, look for Chris Simms to be Broncos' starting quarterback Sunday against the Chargers. Even if Orton does suit up, he'd be a risk and, at best, he'd be hobbled. Factor in that the Broncos kick off during the second set of games this week, and this is a situation to avoid.1 hour
14.Adrian Wilson (RotoWire) Wilson (groin, probable) will probably be at the line of scrimmage on nearly every play on Sunday against the Rams, the East Valley Tribune reports. Analysis: The Cardinals are much more concerned with St. Louis' running attack than their passing game. As a result, Wilson could be on track for a good tackling day and he might get the sack he needs in order to become the 10th player in NFL history to accumulate 20 career sacks and 20 career interceptions.1 hour
15.White, Roddy | Atl (SportsGrumblings) Falcons WR White will play Sunday Analysis: Falcons WR Roddy White will play Sunday against the Giants, a league source told NFL Network's Jason La Canfora.<p> White was limited in practice this week with a knee injury, but he hasn't missed a game this season. He's officially listed as questionable. (NFL.com)1 hour
16.Byrd to take part in pre-game warmups (Rotoworld) Bills rookie FS Jairus Byrd (questionable, groin) will take part in warmups today and is hopeful to play when the Bills take on the Jags. Analysis: Byrd was limited in practice all week. He leads the league with eight interceptions and has recorded a pick in five straight games. The team signed Cary Harris off their practice squad on Friday, and special teamer Todd Johnson would likely draw the start if Byrd can't go.2 hours
17.Johnson to start in Stroud's place for B... (Rotoworld) Bills DT Spencer Johnson will start in place of Marcus Stroud (knee) on Sunday. Analysis: After injuring his knee in last week's loss, Stroud wasn't able to practice all week. The Bills may also be without other starting DT Kyle Williams, who is questionable with a sprained MCL. John McCargo would make his first start of the season if Williams can't go. Maurice Jones-Drew is licking his chops at this matchup.2 hours
18.Falcons' White will play on Sunday @ NYG (Rotoworld) Roddy White (questionable, knee) will play on Sunday when the Falcons take on the Giants in the Meadowlands. Analysis: White has been listed as questionable for the past three weeks and hasn't missed a game. He'll start against a struggling Giants' defense coming off their bye week while getting CB Aaron Ross back.2 hours
19.Strief to start for Saints at LT over Bu... (Rotoworld) Saints T Zach Strief will start at LT over Jermon Bushrod on Sunday. Analysis: Both Strief and Bushrod will play extensively, though. Bushrod has done a more than admirable job filling in for Pro Bowl LT Jammal Brown (hip, sports hernia) this season, so the move is a bit of a surprise.2 hours
20.Haynesworth is a game-time decision Sund... (Rotoworld) Albert Haynesworth (ankle) will be a game-time decision for Sunday's game against the Cowboys but is still unlikely to play. Analysis: Haynesworth's status has been in question all week with him not practicing and wearing a walking boot. If he can't go, Kedric Golston will start in his place, and it will be a huge upgrade to the Cowboys' running backs, mainly Marion Barber.2 hours
21.Nick Harper (RotoWire) Coach Jeff Fisher continued to be noncommittal on Saturday whether Harper (broken forearm) will be back on Monday night, the Tennessean reports. Analysis: When Harper does return, he will be wearing a protective brace to protect his forearm that has a plate in it for healing purposes.2 hours
22.Ross will play in nickel defense for Gia... (Rotoworld) Giants CB Aaron Ross (hamstring) will return to game action Sunday and play when the team is in their nickel defense. Analysis: When the Giants send in their nickel package, Ross will line up on the outside with Terrell Thomas covering the slot. Thomas will likely draw the start opposite Corey Webster until Ross proves he's healthy and gets back up to game speed.3 hours
23.Kenny Britt (RotoWire) Britt will be starting at receiver for the second straight game Monday, the Associated Press reports. Analysis: Britt continues to get the starting nod while Justin Gage (back) is injured. Last week he only had two catches.3 hours
24.Fins plan to finish season without Fergu... (Rotoworld) The Dolphins are planning to finish out the season without NT Jason Ferguson (knee). Analysis: Ferguson injured his right knee in Thursday night's win in Carolina. Beat writer Omar Kelly says that with six weeks remaining, it is likely that he will placed on season-ending injured reserve. Ferguson, 34 at the end of the month, is in the last year of his contract, so his career may be over. Tony McDaniel and Randy Starks will fill in.3 hours
25.Harris to return kicks for Eagles on Sun... (Rotoworld) DB Macho Harris will return kicks for the Eagles on Sunday. Analysis: Harris will take over the duties with Quintin Demps (ankle) out. It was between Harris and rookie WR Jeremy Maclin, but Maclin is an every-down receiver who doesn't need to be taking the big shots like he took last week in the return game.3 hours
26.Report: Simms expected to start for Bron... (Rotoworld) It will take an "overnight medical miracle" for Kyle Orton (ankle) to start Sunday, according to the Denver Post. Analysis: The Post fully expects Chris Simms to get the nod, although Orton has not been ruled out. Orton will likely test the ankle in pregame tomorrow, but no one should be waiting on this decision considering the 4:15 ET start time. Simms was wretched in relief of Orton last week, completing just 3-of-13 attempts with an interception.9 hours
27.Robinson not playing vs. Ravens (Rotoworld) Colts TE Gijon Robinson (concussion) did not travel with the team for Sunday's game against the Ravens. Analysis: Robinson suffered the concussion against the Patriots last week. Robinson has just six catches on the season.9 hours
28.Slaton regains starting job (FFChamps) The Houston Chronicle reported Saturday that Houston Texans' running back Steve Slaton will be the starter for Monday night's game against the Tennessee Titans. The Texans had a bye in Week 10, but Ryan Moats got the start in Week 9 (a 20-17 loss to the Indianapolis Colts) after Slaton had been benched the previous game due to his league-leading eight fumbles on the season. Analysis: We kind-of figured it was just a matter of time before Slaton got his job back. Moats is a serviceable NFL back, but he just doesn't possess the all-around ... (More)12 hours
29.Westbrook injury update (TheHuddle) The Philadelphia Daily News, reports Philadelphia Eagles RB Brian Westbrook (concussion) was not allowed to attend team meetings this week, in addition to sitting out practice due to a concussion. 'This is on the doctor's orders: Back off, let him rest, that's the plan the doctor had for him,' head coach Andy Reid said. 'Next week he can start going to meetings and some things. We'll see how he feels as he goes.' Westbrook will not be examined again until after the team's Week 12 game, and his progress will determine when, or if, he returns this season. Analysis: It appears more likely that Westbr... (More)12 hours
30.Brown injury update (TheHuddle) The South Florida Sun-Sentinel, report Miami Dolphins RB Ronnie Brown (foot) underwent surgery Friday, Nov. 20, to repair a Lisfranc fracture to his right foot and head coach Tony Sparano said the surgery 'went well.' Although it is uncertain how long Brown's recovery time will be, OG Donald Thomas suffered a similar injury in the opening game last year and began training four months later. Analysis: All signs point to a full recovery for Brown who is in a contract year this season. The injury will likely lower his value to NFL teams who may be interested in making an offer in the offseason howeve... (More)12 hours
31.Pierce injury update (TheHuddle) The New York Daily News, reports New York Giants LB Antonio Pierce (neck) will likely miss up to six weeks, and possibly longer, due to a bulging disk in his neck. LB Chase Blackburn figures to start at middle linebacker in Pierce's absence. Analysis: The news continues to get worse for Pierce and the Giants who will more than likely be without his services for the remainder of the regular season. Injuries like this tend to heal slowly which could impact Pierce even into the playoffs this year.12 hours
32.Slaton to start in Week 11 (TheHuddle) The Houston Chronicle, reports Houston Texans RB Steve Slaton will start at running back in Week 11. Analysis: Slaton once again gets the start for Houston who have had problems consistently rushing the ball this season. Ryan Moats should still be a factor in the offense but Slaton will likely get the bulk of the carries at the present time. Fantasy owners should view Slaton as a low-end No. 2 running back.12 hours
33.Looking like Orton will not play Week 11 (TheHuddle) The Denver Post, reports, as of Saturday, Nov. 21, Denver Broncos QB Kyle Orton's (ankle) ankle has not healed enough to be able to play in Week 11. All signs are pointing to QB Chris Simms starting the game. Analysis: With Chris Simms likely to start once again for Denver in Week 11, fantasy owners should look elsewhere if your team has a need at quarterback. Simms struggled in Week 10 and will likely do the same as he faces a tough San Diego defense.13 hours
34.McGahee expected to see playing time Week 11 (TheHuddle) The Carroll County Times, reports Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said there is a good chance RB Willis McGahee will see some playing time in Week 11. 'We like Willis,' Harbaugh said. 'Willis is a very good player. I think there's a good chance you'll see a lot of Willis this weekend.' Analysis: McGahee started the season on fire but then has disappeared the last few weeks much to the dismay of his fantasy owners. Baltimore is clearly using Ray Rice as their feature back which has limited the opportunities for McGahee so it would be hard to imagine any major changes in strategy at this po... (More)13 hours
35.Gage out for Week 11 (TheHuddle) TitansOnline.com reports Tennessee Titans WR Justin Gage (back) did not participate in practice Saturday, Nov. 21. He has been ruled out for the team's Week 11 game. Analysis: The injury to Gage could keep the receiver out for more than one game which gives the rookie Kenny Britt some additional playing time in the Titans offense. Britt could be a solid sleeper candidate during the fantasy playoffs as they will face St. Louis, Miami and San Diego starting in Week 14.13 hours
36.Ricky Williams (RotoWire) Williams suffered some kind of injury during the game against Carolina on Thursday, according to the Palm Beach Post. Analysis: Coach Tony Sparano described Williams as being "dinged up", at least this explains why Williams wasn't on the field for the crucial fourth down play in the fourth quarter with 44 seconds remaining.13 hours
37.Gage ruled out for Monday night (FFChamps) Titans receiver Justin Gage has been ruled out for Monday night's game against the Texans. Gage has not practiced since after the Titans' Week 9 game against the 49ers. Gage broke the transverse process bones in his back after landing hard from making an acrobatic catch. Analysis: Titans rookie Kenny Britt will make his second consecutive start in Gage's absence. He caught two passes for 55 yards against the Bills last Sunday and is leading the Titans in receiving yards (351) and is tied for third on the team in receptions (22).13 hours
38.Jason Ferguson (RotoWire) Ferguson (knee) is likely done for the remainder of the season, according to the South-Sun Sentinel. Analysis: Ferguson hurt his knee in the game against Carolina on Thursday. It is uncertain if or when Ferguson will undergo knee surgery, but with only six games remaining in the regular season almost any kind of absence would force the Dolphins to play Ferguson on the IR.13 hours
39.Kyle Orton not expected to go Sunday (FFToolbox) According to the Denver Post, barring an overnight medical miracle that heals Denver Broncos quarterback Kyle Orton's bum ankle, Chris Simms will be the team's starting QB Sunday against the San Diego Chargers with sole possession of the AFC West lead at stake. While Simms has taken the first-team snaps all week, Orton has been unable to practice due to a sprained ankle, which he suffered last week against Washington. Orton has tried hard to get his ankle to heal. But as of Saturday afternoon, it had not recovered enough to play. Orton d... (More)13 hours
40.Panthers | Diggs injured Week 11 (KFFL) Darin Gantt, of the Rock Hill Herald, reports Carolina Panthers LB Na'il Diggs (ribs) injured his ribs in the team's Week 11 game.

41.Holmgren admits interest in Browns (Rotoworld) Mike Holmgren said he would be interested in a job with the Browns. Analysis: Holmgren is reportedly the leading candidate to become the Browns' "football czar." He claims he hasn't yet spoken to owner Randy Lerner even though Browns executive adviser Jim Brown hinted at that. It's unclear if Holmgren wants to coach again.14 hours
42.Westbrook, Brian | Phi (SportsGrumblings) Brian Westbrook to miss two to three games Analysis: Brian Westbrook is expected to miss at least two to three games as he recovers from his second concussion in 20 days, Eagles coach Andy Reid said Friday. (ESPN.com)14 hours

45.Dolphins | Preparing to finish season without Ferguson (KFFL) Omar Kelly, of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, reports the Miami Dolphins are preparing to finish the season with DT Jason Ferguson (knee) because he suffered what appears to be a season-ending injury in Week 11, according to a source. It is not known if Ferguson will undergo surgery, but he likely will be placed on Injured Reserve if he can't finish the season. 15 hours
46.Steve Slaton to start for Texans again (FFToolbox) Three weeks after losing his starting job after losing the ball too often, it looks like Steve Slaton is back in the captain's chair in the Houston Texans' backfield. Slaton found out Saturday he would start Monday night against the Tennessee Titans after having a good week of practices. Slaton was initially benched in week eight after losing a fumble for the third straight game. He played in a reserve role behind Ryan Moats in week nine before the Texans' bye week. Slaton said that he was anticipating to regain the starting spot and tha... (More)15 hours
47.Henderson to return punts? (Rotoworld) Beat writer Jeff Duncan "guesses" that Devery Henderson will return punts for the Saints Sunday. Analysis: With Reggie Bush, Tracy Porter and Lance Moore both out, the Saints will likely turn to Henderson. It would be dangerous to use Pierre Thomas or Darren Sharper for health reasons. Henderson has never returned a punt in his NFL career.15 hours
48.Hillis to have increased role? (Rotoworld) Broncos beat writer Mike Klis speculates that Peyton Hillis could have an increased role this week. Analysis: With LaMont Jordan out, Correll Buckhalter gimpy and Chris Simms possibly under center, it would make sense for Hillis to be active and get work. But Hillis was a healthy scratch last week and he has been a lost man in coach Josh McDaniels' backfield. Don't expect much.15 hours
49.Broncos | Looking like Orton will not play Week 11 (KFFL) Mike Klis, of The Denver Post, reports, as of Saturday, Nov. 21, Denver Broncos QB Kyle Orton's (ankle) ankle has not healed enough to be able to play in Week 11. All signs are pointing to QB Chris Simms starting the game. 15 hours

51.Orton not ready as of Saturday (Rotoworld) As of Saturday afternoon, Kyle Orton's left ankle had not recovered enough to play Sunday, according to the Denver Post. Analysis: This does not mean that Orton is out for Sunday's game against the Chargers. He'll still test the ankle Sunday morning to see if he can go. But considering this is a 4:15 ET start, you should not be waiting on this situation in any leagues. Chris Simms took the first-team reps all week and will start if Orton sits.16 hours

75.Johnson denies he wants out of Houston (Rotoworld) Andre Johnson denied an ESPN The Magazine report that he plans to force a trade if the Texans don't make the playoffs. Analysis: "That didn't come from me. ... I make my own decisions, and I plan on being here until I retire," Johnson said. Johnson signed an eight-year, $60 million contract in March of 2007 and it's very unlikely he's going anywhere before that deal is up.

88.James Casey (RotoWire) Casey (knee) is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Titans after participating in practice all week, the Texans' official site reports. Analysis: Casey seems ready to make his return from knee surgery, and could emerge as a replacement for Owen Daniels in the pass-catching tight end role.

89.Jacoby Jones (RotoWire) Jones (calf) returned to practice Saturday on a limited basis and is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against Tennessee, the Texans' official site reports.

If you roll the dice on his status and he winds up inactive, the Monday night kickoff will leave you with no other options to choose from. He'll likely be a game-time decision.19 hours
90.Brian Cushing (RotoWire) Cushing (foot) participated fully in Saturday's practice and is listed as probable for Monday night's game against Tennessee, the Texans' official site reports. Analysis: Cushing and his foot injury make a weekly appearance on the injury report, but the ailment hasn't stopped him from being an IDP beast as a rookie. He's safe to start this week.19 hours
91.David Thornton (RotoWire) Thornton (hip) is listed as questionable for Monday night's game against Houston, the Titans' official site reports. Analysis: Thornton's been a lackluster fantasy play this season (41 tackles, one sack, no interceptions) and this injury makes him an even shakier option. We recommend looking for a healthier body for Week 11.20 hours
92.Gage officially out (Rotoworld) Justin Gage (back) is officially out for Monday's game against the Texans. Analysis: Gage hasn't played since taking a hard fall against the 49ers on Nov. 8. Kenny Britt will start his second straight game but the rookie had just two catches and four targets last week.20 hours
93.Ryan Moats (RotoWire) Steve Slaton has regained his starting job for Monday's game against Tennessee, the Houston Chronicle reports. Moats, who started the Texans' last game, will be the top backup. Analysis: Moats will still be a factor in some type of rotation, but this news should relegate him to the bench in most leagues. He could get another chance to be the starter if Slaton's fumbles resurface, but for now he's stuck as the No. 2.20 hours
94.Justin Gage (RotoWire) Gage (back) has officially been ruled out of Monday's game against Houston, the Associated Press reports. Analysis: Gage didn't practice all week and will again be replaced in the lineup by Kenny Britt. We'll revisit Gage's status next week.20 hours
95.Moats won't be starting this week (Rotoworld) Ryan Moats will come off the bench against the Titans on Monday night. Analysis: Steve Slaton has his starting job back as the Texans come out of their bye. Expect Moats to still be part of the committee, but this is obviously a blow to his value. He's not a fantasy option unless Slaton starts putting the ball on the ground again.20 hours
96.Steve Slaton (RotoWire) Slaton will start at running back Monday against Tennessee, the Houston Chronicle reports. "I had an assumption that I would start, but nothing was concrete until now," Slaton said. "I'm happy about it. It's an opportunity I have to take full advantage of." Analysis: It looks like Slaton will get a chance to be the primary back, but Ryan Moats could still be in the mix. This still sounds like an unstable situation, but Slaton could become a strong fantasy option again quickly if he has a good game and overcomes his recent fumbling problems.21 hours
97.Ellis out for Week 11 (FFChamps) New Orleans Saints' defensive tackle Sedrick Ellis has been downgraded to out for Week 11. He sprained his knee in Week 7 against the Miami Dolphins, and practiced this week for the first time in nearly a month. Analysis: The Saints have gotten brutalized on the ground in Ellis' absence (giving up a combined 431 yards to opponents' lead backs in thethree games he's been hurt). He is their most talented body on the D-line, and definitely their best run-stuffer. The fact that he won't go increases the fantasy value of Cadillac Williams and <... (More)21 hours
98.Bush doesn't travel with team, out Sunday (FFChamps) According to ESPN.com, New Orleans Saints' running back Reggie Bush did not travel with the team to Tampa, and will not play Sunday against the Buccaneers. Bush missed practice this week due to swelling in his left knee, and the Saints are being especially cautious because it's the same knee that Bush had surgically repaired late last season. Analysis: Bush's absence gives Pierre Thomas' fantasy value a boost against the Buccaneers. The two practically play different positions, but Reggie is a scary red-zone option because of his versatili... (More)21 hours
99.Steve Slaton regains starting job for Te... (Rotoworld) Steve Slaton will start for the Texans against the Titans on Monday night. Analysis: We thought that Slaton would have to prove he can hold on to the ball before getting his starting job back, but coach Gary Kubiak is apparently convinced. Slaton's role was due to grow anyway because he's clearly their best back, but this a great sign that he has his coach's confidence. Look for Slaton to still share carries with Chris Brown and Ryan Moats, but we like him as a solid flex play this week.21 hours
