Christmas Eve Player News

Maurice Jones-Drew (knee) will not be active for Sunday’s game at home against the Redskins. Rashad Jennings will draw the start is is a high end flex play with RB2 upside. Mike Sims-Walker (ankle) will not start Sunday but will play. He is likely to only play about half of the snaps as his ankle is still not 100% healed.

Andre Johnson (ankle) is still listed as questionable for Sunday’s game against the Broncos but some sources believe there is a “real” chance he sits. If he’s out Jacoby Jones and Kevin Walter get a sizable boost in value.

Knowshon Moreno (ribs) has been able to practice Thursday and Friday and has a good chance to play on Sunday, but is still listed as questionable.

Joseph Addai (neck/Shoulder) is listed as probable after practicing fully the last few days. It looks like he’ll finally return in Oakland after a 2 month lay off.

Adrian Peterson (knee/thigh) is likely to give it a go Sunday in Philly according to head coach Leslie Frazier.

Chad OchoCinco (ankle) who was looking like he’d play albeit only about half the snaps, now appears to be likely to sit as coach Marvin Lewis stated Friday that Ocho is “iffy” to play Week 16 against the Chargers. Get him out of your lineups if for some reason he was still there.

Peyton Hillis (knee) practiced on a limited basis for the second straight day Friday and is listed as probable. According to most reports it looks like he’ll go Sunday at home vs. the Ravens.

Mark Sanchez (shoulder) is going to start barring a major setback. Santonio Holmes (toe) is going to play Sunday in Chicago as well but if Sanchez doesn’t go, its a big hit to Holmes value.

Antonio Gates (toe) is listed as out for Sunday’s game against the Bengals, and WR Malcom Floyd (hamstrings) is listed as doubtful and is very unlikely to play.

Lions QB Shaun Hill (finger) is expected to regain the starting job Sunday in Miami. This gives a slight boost in value to the Lions offensive players even though Drew Stanton did a solid job in his absense.

Chris Ivory (hamstring) was limited in practice today but we should know his status sometime Saturday as to whether he will play or Pierre Thomas/Julius Jones will carry the load.

Anthony Dixon (ankle) has been hobbling around practice the last few days and isn’t likely to see a lot of time if he is active based on sources reports. He has a solid matchup this week but it looks like Brian Westbrook will get majority of touches this week.

Mario Manningham (heel) practiced in full Friday and will start against the Packers Sunday.

Week 15 Waiver Adds

 

QB

Donavan McNabb- McNabb responded well to a potential benching if he didn’t perform against the Bucs. They came up just short of a victory but McNabb was solid. He gets the Cowboys and Jags the next two weeks so he’s worth a look if you’re hurting at quarterback.

Jason Campbell- Campbell played very well against the Jaguars Sunday and they came up just short of a win. Over the past two weeks he has averaged 21.9 fantasy points and has two good matchups coming up. He has Zach Miller back and Louis Murphy was very involved as well so he has some weapons along with Jacoby Ford. He has the Broncos and the Colts the next two weeks so like McNabb, he’s a solid fill in if you’re in need.

RB

Tim Hightower- Timmy boy was the most productive back for the Cards in Sunday’s blowout win over the woeful Broncos. He had 148 yards and two touchdowns in the win and seems to be the guy at this point in the Cardinals backfield. He gets the Panthers next week who have just been getting destroyed by running backs as of late so he makes for a must start RB2 and a must own if he’s still available.

Ryan Torain- Many people including myself had written this guy off on making an impact the rest of the way but boy was I wrong. He had a monster game Sunday against the Bucs defense, torching them for 172 yards. He has two great matchups the next two weeks against Dallas and the Jaguars so if someone felt like me and dropped him, go get him immediately.

Javarris James- We highlighted him last week as the goal line back, but in Week 14 he was the featured back. He carried the ball 17 times for 49 yards and a touchdown in a win over the Titans. With Joseph Addai’s return still up in the air, James appears to be the guy to own at this point for the Colts. He’s a solid flex play as long as Addai is out.

Others to look at: Mike Hart, Rashard Jennings, Anthony Dixon (must own), Mike Goodson

WR

Kenny Britt- Britt finally returned last Thursday and although he didn’t have a huge game, he was productive and heavily involved. He had 4 catches for 39 yards but seemed to come out healthy and certainly looked it during the game. If the owner who had him didn’t hold him and he’s still available, he’s the number one target this week at receiver and is a must own in all leagues and formats.

Louis Murphy- Murphy was a guy many people had on their sleeper list coming into the season but because of injuries and a up and down quarterback situation, he didn’t quite pan out. He did however play his tail off against the Jaguars Sunday compiling six catches for 59 yards and a touchdown on 11 targets. He has a lot of speed, good hands and is a great route runner so if you’re in need grab him asap.

Arrelious Benn- The rookie, who was drafted way ahead of now star receiver Mike Williams, has had some trouble adjusting and getting on the field until recently. He had the biggest game of his short career this past weekend against the Redskins grabbing four passes for 122 yards. He has big time talent and especially in keeper or dynasty leagues, if he’s available now is the time to grab him and for teams hurting at the receiver position in 12 team and deeper league’s he’s not a bad option with the Lions and Seahawks on deck.

Others to look at: Earl Bennett, Jacoby Jones, Brandon Gibson, Ruvell Martin

 

TE

Rob Gronkowski- Gronkowski found the end zone once again Sunday in Chicago during a snow storm and now only trails Marcedes Lewis and Antonio Gates for the lead on touchdowns by a TE. If he is somehow still available he is a must grab as he is now the 10th best fantasy TE. He gets the Packers this week who give up the 7th most fantasy points to TE’s and Gronkowski also has the most points amongst TE’s over the past five weeks (62 in PPR, 45 in standard). He is a must own and must start at this point so if he’s somehow still out there grab him five minutes ago.

Owen Daniels- Daniels made his return Monday night and his impact was definitely felt. He is finally healthy it seems and posted up great numbers, the Owen Daniels type numbers were used to from back in 08’. Daniels finished with five catches for 91 yards on 11 targets against the Ravens. He is a must own but I wouldn’t necessarily cut my current TE for him as he has been a injury prone the last two seasons. He gets the Titans and Broncos the next two weeks, both of which are in the bottom ten in the league against the TE.

Zach Miller- Miller seems to be a little bit healthier; maybe not 100% back yet but was definitely involved Sunday in Jacksonville. Miller finished with four catches for 68 yards, the best game he’s had in about five weeks. He is another guy who can’t be on waiver wires anymore but also not “healthy” enough for you to drop your current tight end just yet either.

Last Minute Injury Updates

Previously ruled out for Week 6.

QB’s-Seneca Wallace(ankle)

RB’s- Clinton Portis(groin), Pierre Thomas (ankle), Reggie Bush(fibula), Fred Taylor (toe)

TE’s-Jermichael Finley(knee)

Packers QB Aaron Rodgers (concussion) is active today and is a good play against the Dolphins today.

Cowboys WR Dez Bryant (ankle) will start Sunday in Minnesota. He’s a risky play because of the emergence of Roy Williams and the fact that he’s been unable to finish games. He’s a average flex play at best.

Ravens RB Ray Rice (knee) was limited in practice Thursday and Friday say’s he’s 100% healthy and will start in a great matchup against the Patriots today according to NFL Network.

Eagles QB Mike Vick (ribs) will serve as the team’s #3 QB today against the Falcons, but in my opinion, if Kevin Kolb gets hurt, Vick will likely go under center not rookie Mike Kafka.

Colts RB Donald Brown(hamstring) is inactive today along with WR Anthony Gonzalez. Joseph Addai (shoulder) will start tonight in Washington. WR’s Austin Collie(foot) and Pierre Garcon(hamstring) will play.

Packers LB Clay Matthews(hamstring) will sit today, get him out of your lineups in IDP leagues.

In other IDP news, Falcons LB Sean Weatherspoon(knee) and Bears LB Lance Briggs (ankle) are both inactive today so look for other options as well.

Lions WR Calvin Johnson (shoulder) is active against the Giants today.

Giants K Lawrence Tynes (ankle) is out Sunday. Former Bengal Kicker Shayne Graham will handle the kicking duties.

Browns RB Peyton Hillis(thigh) will start today in a very tough match up in Pittsburgh.

Lions QB Shaun Hill will get the start against the Giants today. Matthew Stafford will serve as the emergency QB today behind Drew Stanton.

Newly acquired Eagles RB Jerome Harrison is inactive today. There is no known injury here, they just seem to want him to learn the playbook before giving him game action.

Bucs WR Mike Williams (foot) is active and will start in a solid match up with the Saints. RB LaGarrette Blount is inactive but the reasoning is unkown. Earnest Graham will assume backup duties and most likely goal line carries as well.

Texans WR Jacoby Jones(calf) is active today but is a borderline flex play at best. Andre Johnson will play as we expected so make sure he’s in your lineups.

Patriots WR Deion Branch is active today against the Ravens. Keep him on benches until he can carve out a role in that offense.

Chargers WR Legedu Naanee (hamstring) is inactive today.

Friday 10/15 Injury Updates

Kevin Kolb has been confirmed as the starter for Sundays game against the Falcons according to coach Andy Reid. SOURCE: Jeff McLane on Twitter

Packers placed LB Nick Barnett on the injured reserve,thus ending his season. SOURCE: Rob Demovsky on Twitter

Packers QB Aaron Rodgers (concussion) practiced Friday and is listed as probable for Sunday. Coach McCarthy said Rodgers is “ready to play” barring any unforeseen setbacks. Keep him in your lineups in a solid home matchup against the Dolphins.

Colts RB’s Joseph Addai(shoulder) and Mike Hart(hip) returned to full practices Friday and will both play, with Hart backing up Addai. Donald Brown (hamstring) didn’t practice Friday and is unlikely to play again this week. WR’s Austin Collie(foot) and Pierre Garcon(hamstring) practiced without limitations Friday and will start Sunday night in Washington.

Maurice Jones-Drew(wrist,ankle) returned to practice Friday and will start Monday night against the Titans.

Lions WR Calvin Johnson(shoulder) had his most intense practice of the week Friday and it looks like he’ll go Sunday against the Giants in a tough matchup. SOURCE: Dave Birkett on Twitter

Lions WR Nate Burleson(ankle) was limited in practice Friday but is officially listed as probable for Sunday’s game against the Giants. RB Jahvid Best (toe) was also limited Friday but will start in a tough matchup Sunday.

Saints RB Pierre Thomas(ankle) has been officially ruled out for Week 6 against Tampa Bay. This was not unexpected as Thomas has been unable to practice all week. We’ll just wait and see how he feels going into week 7. Ladell Betts and Chris Ivory will once again split backfield duties. UPDATE: Thomas’s ankle sprain was originally diagnosed as a 4-6 week injury, which mean’s he’ll likely miss week 7 game as well. This is unfortunate as he is already expected to miss again and with their bye week not until week 10, it’ll be at least 5 games fantasy owners will be without Thomas. SOURCE: New Orleans Times-Picayune

Vikings QB Brett Favre(elbow) is being considered a game time decision as to whether he will play or not. He did do some light throwing Friday and should be good to go. This game could be do or die for the Vikings so I can’t imagine him not going. SOURCE: Minneapolis Star-Tribune

Chargers RB Ryan Mathews practiced in full Friday and is line for more touches this week. Mike Tolbert still has value as a flex play against the Rams, but this could very well be his last week as a fantasy starter. SOURCE:  Kevin Acee on Twitter

WR Legedu Naanee (hamstring) missed practice again today and is expected to sit against the Rams. He hasn’t had any value since his great week one performance, so if you still own him, its time to cut bait. SOURCE:  Kevin Acee on Twitter

Texans WR Jacoby Jones (calf) fully practiced Friday and is expected to play Sunday against the Chiefs. SOURCE: Nick Scurfield on Twitter

RB Darren McFadden(hamstring) has still not been able to practice and is unlikely to play Sunday against the 49ers. Michael Bush will get the start and is a solid flex play this week.

Raiders QB Bruce Gradkowski (shoulder) isn’t expected to play Sunday and missed practice all week with this injury. Jason Campbell will get the start against the 49ers. SOURCE: Vittorio Tafur on Twitter

Broncos WR DeMaryius Thomas (head/neck) and RB Knowshon Moreno both practiced today and are looking like they’ll play Sunday against the Jets, but are both still being considered game time decisions. Neither are good plays this week, especially Thomas who has fallen to 4th on the depth chart. SOURCE: Andrew Mason on Twitter

Tampa WR Mike Williams (foot) is expected to be a game time decision Sunday against the Saints. He hasn’t practiced all week which is starting to worry me, so stay tuned early Sunday for an update. He’s a solid WR3 if he can play. SOURCE: Bucs on Twitter

10/13 Player Updates

Packers TE Jermichael Finley has told teammates that he may miss the rest of the season following knee surgery Tuesday. He is likely to be placed on the IR to make room for some players to be activated next week. You can probably part ways with him in redraft leagues, but hold onto him in keeper and dynasty leagues obviously.

In other Packer news, QB Aaron Rodgers, who suffered a concussion in Sunday’s loss to the Redskins, is undergoing tests and an update on his week 6 status will not be available until sometime Thursday. The Pack will obviously be very cautious, as they should be with a head injury but especially with their franchise QB. Matt Flynn would get the start if Rodgers couldn’t suit up. SOURCE: Greg Bedard on Twitter

The Eagles and Browns traded RB for RB today trading Mike Bell to the Browns for Jerome Harrison. Neither one was in a great situation and still isn’t after this trade. Not quite sure the reasoning behind all this but neither one has much value right now without an injury to the starter. SOURCE: Jay Glazer on Twitter

Eagles QB Mike Vick(ribs) is still unable to throw and his status is in doubt for Sunday’s game against Vick’s former team the Falcons.

Texans WR Jacoby Jones (calf) sat out Wednesday’s practice but Coach Kubiak was encouraged that Jones was able to run a little bit on the sidelines. He is listed as questionable for week 6. SOURCE: Nick Scurfield on Twitter

Saints RB Pierre Thomas still hasn’t practiced as of Wednesday with that ankle injury and his status for week 6 appears very much in doubt. They signed Julius Jones yesterday as depth but he has no value as he has shown nothing in the past few seasons to deserve it. SOURCE: Jeff Duncan on Twitter

Bears QB Jay Cutler has been cleared to practice and will start Sunday at home against the Seahawks.

Broncos RB Knowshon Moreno(hamstring) and WR DeMaryius Thomas (neck) were both held out of practice Wednesday. Were not quite sure whether or not they will suit up Sunday against the Jets. Moreno was believed to return to full practices this week but thus far has not been the case. Moreno would have a tough matchup anyway against the Jets so you might want to keep him on your bench regardless of him playing, while Thomas has slipped to fourth on the depth chart and should only be owned in deeper and keeper leagues at this point. SOURCE: Lindsay Jones on Twitter

Lions WR Calvin Johnson practiced in limited fashion Wednesday and was seen favoring his shoulder. His status for Sunday’s game against the Giants is somewhat in doubt. We’ll continue to monitor is progress throughout the week. SOURCE: Tom Kowalski on Twitter

TB top WR, rookie Mike Williams sat out practice Wednesday with a foot injury. This isn’t likely to be a serious one and he should be fine for Sunday’s matchup against the Saints. He’s a fine WR3 in a good matchup.

10/8 Player Updates

First off, we would like to send our sincere condolences out to Albert Hayneworth and his family for the loss of his half brother, who tragically died last night in Tennessee in a motorcycle accident. We ourselves have lost someone close to us via a motorcycle accident and can understand that this is no easy thing to deal with. We wish the family the best and hope to see Albert back on the field soon.

Now on to the player news for today

Saints RB Pierre Thomas has been ruled out for Sunday’s game in Arizona. Rookie Chris Ivory and veteran Ladell Betts will likely split the load and both make solid flex plays this week.

Lions RB Jahvid Best(turf toe) was limited in practice Friday but is expected to play against the Rams. Keep him in your lineups, but check back Sunday morning for the latest update. TE Tony Scheffler was held out of practice all week but returned in limited fashion Friday. He will be a game time decision so check back Sunday morning for an update.

The Texans are expecting WR Andre Johnson(ankle) to suit up Sunday but is still considered a game time decision. WR Jacoby Jones is expected to sit with a calf injury.

Jaguars RB Maurice Jones-Drew(ankle) practiced fully for the second straight day and is good to go Sunday in Buffalo in a very very good matchup.

Raiders RB Darren McFadden(hamstring) is expected to miss Sundays game against the Chargers, Michael Bush will get the start. WR’s Louis Murphy(clavicle) and Darrius Heyward-Bey(groin) both practiced fully all week and will both start. QB Bruce Gradkowski(shoulder) practiced in full Friday and is expected to play as well.

Vikings TE Visanthe Shiancoe(hamstring) was limited in practice once again Friday but is still listed as probable for Monday night’s game against the Jets. He is likely to play but if you have a better option and cannot wait until Monday you may want to go that route.

Eagles QB Michael Vick(ribs) has officially been ruled out for this week’s game, Kevin Kolb will start. RB LeSean McCoy(ribs) returned to practice Friday and Coach Andy Reid anticipates McCoy will “play a full game” in San Francsico. Keep an eye out Sunday morning, but all things look good for McCoy to start, he is a solid RB2 this week.

Browns QB Jake Delhomme(ankle) status is still unknown, he was limited in practice Friday and a decision isn’t expected to be made until early Sunday. Delhomme shouldn’t be in any fantasy lineups anyway, but if he plays, WR Mohammed Massaquoi does get a slight boost in value. RB Peyton Hillis (thigh) was held out of Friday’s practice and is listed as questionable although Coach Mangini fully expects Hillis to play.

On the Colts injury report, WR’s Pierre Garcon(hamstring) and Reggie Wayne(knee) both fully participated in practice again Friday and are fully expected to start Sunday. Austin Collie(foot) is listed as questionable and is expected to be a game time decision. RB’s Donald Brown(hamstring) is listed as doubtful while Joseph Addai(knee) is listed as questionable even though he practiced in full all week. We will have updates on these guys throughout the weekend so keep checking back in.

Chargers RB Ryan Mathews(ankle) was limited in practice this week but is expected to start Sunday. They appear to be slowly easing him back after this ankle injury and backup Mike Tolbert is expected to have a pretty even amount of touches with Mathews. Both are solid flex options against a terrible Raider’s run defense.

Broncos RB Knowshon Moreno(hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday against the Ravens. Laurence Maroney and Correll Buckhalter will share the carries. Neither is a good fantasy play.

Giants RB Ahmad Bradshaw(ankle) returned to a limited practice Friday and officially is listed as questionable for Sunday in Houston. Bradshaw has stated that he will start however. He is a low end RB2 against a the second best run defense in the league who also gets Defensive Rookie of the Year Brian Cushing back this week.

10/7 Player Updates

The Bears have announced QB Jay Cutler(concussion) will NOT start this weekend against Carolina. Todd Collins will get the call which mean’s i’d be sitting all my Bears receivers but i’m starting TE Greg Olsen.

Giants RB Ahmad Bradshaw(ankle) expects to return to a full practice Friday after not practicing today.

Eagles RB LeSean McCoy(rib) has yet to practice this week and the Eagles are not expected to make a decision until the weekend. Prepare for McCoy not to start Sunday in San Francisco.

In other Eagles news, Head Coach Andy Reid said Wednesday that when Michael Vick returns from his rib injury he will regain the QB job regardless of how Kevin Kolb performs in his absence.

Colts WR Pierre Garcon(hamstring) “guarantees” he will return to the lineup Sunday against the Chiefs. He has been a full participant the last two days so he looks safe to start.

Colts WR Austin Collie(foot) and RB Donald Brown(hamstring) missed practice again Thursday and its not looking too good right now for Brown. Collie keep a close eye on, if he practices tomorrow he should be a go. Reggie Wayne (knee) returned to a full practice today and is good to go Sunday.

Denver RB Knowshon Moreno(hamstring) missed Thursday’s practice and is listed as questionable going into Sunday’s matchup with the Ravens. Moreno owners should explore other options whether he plays or not with Denver going against the Ravens defense.

The other “Pierre” as in Pierre Thomas(ankle) is still listed as questionable. However, Head Coach Sean Payton said he is “very optimistic” that Thomas will be able to go Sunday in Arizona. If Thomas can start he has a great matchup against the Cardinals run defense that is 30th in the league giving up 154.8 yards per game.  UPDATE: Thomas sat out practice again Thursday, tomorrow should tell the tale if he is unable to go in practice.

Ravens RB Ray Rice practiced once again without limitations and will start Sunday against the Broncos. I’m predicting this to be Rice’s breakout game this week regardless of whether or not Denver shut down Chris Johnson last week.

Browns RB Peyton Hillis was limited in practice Thursday with a thigh injury. The severity of the injury is not yet known, so keep checking back with us for updates.

Their are rumors swirling that the Patriots may be trying to acquire WR Deion Branch from the Seahawks. It is unclear as to how much truth their is to this rumor, but for those of you who ran out and grabbed Brandon Tate, don’t worry, if Branch were to return to New England he would simply be receiver insurance and no threat to Tate’s job.

Texans WR Andre Johnson(ankle) participated in a limited practice Thursday and will be a game time decision. Head Coach Gary Kubiak is Johnson’s progress is very encouraging. On the flip side, WR Jacoby Jones(calf) has yet to practice this week and is also a game time decision. Things look a little more encouraging for Johnson than they do Jones at this point.

Player Updates 10/4

Eagles QB Mike Vick left Sunday’s game after suffering chest and rib injury and is scheduled to have an MRI today. Vick was injured after making a great run down to the goal line and was just rocked by two defenders. To add insult to injury their was a holding penalty on that run and the play didn’t count anyway. Kevin Kolb replaced Vick and was mediocre at best. The fear is that Vick has a fractured collarbone so it appears were going to get a second look at Kevin Kolb, at least for a few weeks. SOURCE: Jeff McLane on Twitter UPDATE: No fractured rib or collarbone for Vick, he does have a rib cartilage injury. No timetable yet as to how long he will be out but is considered day to day right now as Vick’s ribs are very sore.

Eagles RB LeSean McCoy now has a fractured rib. HC Andy Reid just made the announcement. No word yet on how long he will be out. The mess is Philly continues to get worse. Mike Bell would get the start if McCoy is going to be out for any period of time. SOURCE: Adam Schefter on Twitter

Jaguars RB Maurice Jones-Drew admits he suffered a light ankle sprain during their upset victory over the Colts. He should be good to go this week, but will probably be limited if not held out of a few practices this week. Check back with us throughout the week for updates. SOURCE: Florida Times Union

Bears QB Jay Cutler was knocked out of Sunday nights have with concussion like symptoms after getting sacked 9 times in the first half against the Giants. His status for next week is not yet known, so monitor the situation closely.

Carolina WR Steve Smith was carted off Sunday against the Saints and has been diagnosed with a high ankle sprain. This injury usually takes a few weeks to recover from so start looking for other options as they will play it safe with Smith, although he does appear to be a quick healer.  Rookie’s Brandon LaFell and David Gettis would be the starters if Smith misses significant time. SOURCE: Adam Schefter on Twitter

Chargers RB Ryan Mathews has the confidence of his coach Norv Turner and stated that Mathews is still our starter. The reason behind this is that Mike Tolbert had the bulk of the carries as well as being the most productive with his carries. Tolbert had over a 100 total yards and a TD while Mathews had 68 total yards and a TD. Mathews is a pretty safe start going forward and should see his touches increase week by week. SOURCE: San Diego Union-Tribune

Raiders RB Louis Murphy admitted he reaggravated his Collarbone injury and that played a major role in him not seeing a lot of snaps and dropping that pass which was deflected and interecepted to close out the win for the Texans. Keep an eye on Murphy as the week goes on. SOURCE: San Francisco Chronicle

Texans RB Arian Foster was benched for the 1st quarter in Sunday’s win over the Raiders after missing a team meeting. No worries fantasy owners as Foster came into the game in the 2nd quarter and totaled 187 yards and 2 TD. Keep him in all lineups going forward and is a solid low end RB2. SOURCE: John McClain on Twitter

Redskins RB Clinton Portis left Sunday’s game against the Eagles with a groin injury. Portis said he heard his groin pop and immediately went to the trainers table. If you haven’t already picked up Ryan Torain, do it now as Portis will probably miss at least a few weeks of time.

Rams RB Steven Jackson(groin) played yesterday and totaled 124 yards. He said he felt fine during and after the game so it looks like Jackson should be fine going forward.

Texans WR Andre Johnson was a last minute scratch Sunday against the Raiders with an ankle injury. The Texans are reporting they actually decided Johnson wouldn’t play Saturday night but also feel he should be ready to go next week. This is a situation you want to obviously monitor so check back daily for updates on this injury. SOURCE: Houston Chronicle

Texans WR Jacoby Jones left Sunday’s game with an injury to his calf. The severity of the injury is not yet known so keep your eye on this. Losing Jones opens things up for backup TE Joel Dreesen, who had five catches for 73 yards to lead the team. SOURCE: Houston Chronicle

Steeler QB Ben Roethlisberger, Texans LB Brian Cushing and Jets WR Santonio Holmes are all eligible to return this week after serving four game suspensions. Big Ben won’t return until week 6 as the Steelers have their bye week in week 5. All 3 of these guys are safe starts going forward with Cushing obviously being a starter in IDP leagues.
