He will not play again this season. Shaun Alexander will be the starter for Seattle's final three games.   Brian Griese , QB DEN - Jugg or Nuts Updated 12/19/01 Griese should be able to return from a concussion after the bye week. Jarious Jackson will be Denver's No. 2 QB.   Joe Jurevicius , WR NYG - Drunk Monkeys Updated 12/19/01 Jurevicius (hamstring) is expected to return to action on Sunday. He may be able to catch a deep ball or two against the erratic Seattle secondary.   Travis Henry , RB BUF - Kens Killers Updated 12/19/01 Henry will miss Sunday's game with a sprained right knee. Shawn Bryson will start in his place.   Tim Dwight  , WR SD - Free Agent Updated 12/19/01 Dwight (fluid in lung) is not expected to play this week. He has not produced very much this year when healthy.  Tyrone Wheatley , RB OAK - Jugg or Nuts Updated 12/19/01 Wheatley, who was not used last week, is expected to see some playing time in Week 15. He will probably not be used enough, however, to help most Fantasy teams.   Derrick Mason , WR TEN - Kens Killers Updated 12/19/01 Mason missed Tuesday's practice with a hip flexor injury. His current status is day to day.  Steve McNair , QB TEN - Feeleys Fanatics Updated 12/19/01 McNair (back stiffness) missed practice on Tuesday. His current status is day to day.   Chris Sanders , WR TEN - Free Agent Updated 12/19/01 Sanders has returned to practice from a back injury. He is not expected to play this week.   Tony Richardson , RB KC - Free Agent Updated 12/19/01 Richardson is day to day with a shoulder injury. He is expected to play on Sunday.   Oronde Gadsden , WR MIA - Jugg or Nuts Updated 12/19/01 Gadsden missed Tuesday's practice with a strained hamstring. He is expected to play on Saturday.  Bill Gramatica , K ARI - Carsons Wildcats Updated 12/19/01 Gramatica (knee) was placed on injured reserve. Rookie Cedric Oglesby will be Arizona's placekicker for the final three games of the season.   Amos Zereoue , RB PIT - Free Agent Updated 12/19/01 Zereoue is listed as questionable this week because of a sore shoulder.  He might start at RB if healthy. He replaced Chris Fuamatu-Ma'afala and gained 73 yards Sunday.    Jerome Bettis , RB PIT - Jugg or Nuts Updated 12/19/01 The Pittsburgh Steelers may be without Bettis for at least one more week. Two days after coach Bill Cowher said Bettis was likely to play Sunday against Detroit, the running back was listed Tuesday as doubtful with a groin injury. "But this is not a Fred Taylor injury. He (Bettis) will come back and play this year. But we've got to be very careful making sure he's playing in the right games." Keep Bettis on your bench this week. His health status makes him too risky a player. Chris Fuamatu-Ma'afala will likely start for Bettis.  Skip Hicks , RB TEN - Free Agent Updated 12/18/01 Titans Head Coach Jeff Fisher said Monday that he plans to give Hicks more work over the final three games of the season, according to the Nashville Tennessean . "We're going to play Skip more," Fisher said. "We're going to play Skip, if at all possible, as much as he played [Sunday] night ? But I also want to get Eddie [George] 1,000 yards.'' This development will limit George's production over the final three weeks, making him a risky start.  Steve McNair , QB TEN - Feeleys Fanatics Updated 12/18/01 McNair will miss Tuesday's practice due to tightness in his lower back which hampered him during Sunday's game against Green Bay. The injury is unrelated to his 1999 surgery to repair a disc in his lower back, and he should return to practice on Wednesday. Provided McNair heals over the next couple of days, he's a safe start for Week 15.  Amos Zereoue , RB PIT - Free Agent Updated 12/18/01 Zereoue re-injured his sprained shoulder late in Sunday's game against Baltimore. His status for next Sunday's game against Detroit is unclear, but he's only a marginal starter in deeper leagues anyway.  Gus Frerotte , QB DEN - Free Agent Updated 12/18/01 The Broncos are likely to place Frerotte on injured reserve due to a separated shoulder which might require surgery. Brian Griese will probably start for the remainder of the season, with Jarious Jackson serving as his backup.  James Jackson , RB CLE - Damons Doormats Updated 12/18/01 According to the Cleveland Plain Dealer, Jackson could miss the remainder of the season due to a sprained ankle. He wasn't a reliable weekly starter during the Fantasy playoffs to begin with, and Benjamin Gay and Jamel White, who are less reliable starters, are likely to split time the rest of the way if Jackson is out.  Corey Dillon , RB CIN - Woltys Wonders Updated 12/18/01 Dillon's dislocated finger has improved, and he should be fine for this week. He is listed as probable for Sunday's game against Baltimore. Don't reserve him based on this injury, and only consider benching him based on the Ravens' strong rush defense.  Scott Mitchell , QB CIN - Free Agent Updated 12/18/01 Mitchell could get the start Sunday against Baltimore due to Jon Kitna's strained ligament in the middle finger of his throwing hand. Whether Mitchell or Kitna gets the call, we don't expect either QB to be worth starting in the most important weeks of the Fantasy season.  Akili Smith  , QB CIN - Free Agent Updated 12/18/01 The Bengals placed Smith on injured reserve with a hamstring injury Tuesday, officially ending his season. He will likely need surgery to reattach the muscle group in his hamstring to the bone. Jon Kitna will probably start in his place the rest of the season if he's healthy, but we don't recommend any Cincinnati quarterback the rest of the year anyway.  Terry Allen , RB BAL - Free Agent Updated 12/18/01 The Ravens are likely to feature one running back Sunday against Cincinnati after Allen, Moe Williams and Obafemi Ayanbadejo combined for just 10 carries for 40 yards in Week 14. Allen is the likely starter of the three after he recovered from a hand inj! ur! y. None of the three is a worthy starter in a Fantasy league regardless of whether he starts.   Doug Flutie , QB SD - Powers Rangers Updated 12/18/01 Chargers Head Coach Mike Riley said Monday that he plans to start Flutie Sunday against Kansas City instead of rookie Drew Brees. While Brees is not expected to play, he may see some playing time in the Week 16 finale against Seattle. Flutie is a very risky player during the Fantasy playoffs, especially in light of the possibility he could sit in favor of Brees at any time.  Priest Holmes , RB KC - Woltys Wonders Updated 12/18/01 Holmes is likely to skip practice Wednesday and possibly Thursday due to a sore groin muscle. He is no worse than questionable for Sunday's game against San Diego at this point, but keep an eye on his status before you consider using him this week.  Bert Emanuel , WR DET - Free Agent Updated 12/18/01 Emanuel (knee) could be back in the starting lineup this week against Pittsburgh. He will be re-evaluated this week to determine his true status for the game.   Santana Moss , WR NYJ - Feeleys Fanatics Updated 12/18/01 Moss, still suffering from a strained quadriceps is listed as questionable for Sunday's game. The injury has sidelined him the past few weeks.   Stephen Davis , RB WAS - Kens Killers Updated 12/18/01 Davis suffered a knee injury during Sunday's loss to Philadelphia. "He's sore today, but he has indicated he'll be fine," Coach Marty Schottenheimer told the Washington Post. Despite the injury, Davis is expected to start against Chicago in Week 15.   Tony Banks , QB WAS - Free Agent Updated 12/18/01 According to the Washington Post, Banks will remain the Redskins' starting quarterback. Banks has been very inconsistent recently, but Coach Marty Schottemheimer is expected to stick with him rather than go with backup Kent Graham.   Frank Murphy , WR TB - Free Agent Updated 12/18/01 Murphy suffered a severely sprained ankle during Sunday's loss to Chicago. The injury will likely keep him out of this weekend's game against New Orleans.   More Updates  Teams, Player News  [IMAGE]Carsons Wildcats Player News  Bill Gramatica , Reserve K Updated 12/19/01 Gramatica (knee) was placed on injured reserve. Rookie Cedric Oglesby will be Arizona's placekicker for the final three games of the season.   Ahman Green , Active RB Updated 12/16/01 Green had an awful outing at Tennessee, finishing with just nine rushing yards and 24 receiving yards. Expect him to quickly rebound from such a poor performance.   LaDainian Tomlinson , Active RB Updated 12/16/01 Tomlinson had only 69 all-purpose yards on Saturday against Oakland. He seems to be wearing down somewhat, which makes him more and more of a risk for Fantasy owners.   Kurt Warner , Active QB Updated 12/14/01 Warner should guide many Fantasy teams to success this week. Expect fine numbers from him against the NFC West rival Saints on Monday Night Football.   Torry Holt , Active WR Updated 12/14/01 The explosive Holt is a must-start player in Week 14. He will be a regularly featured target for Kurt Warner on Monday Night Football.   David Patten , Active WR Updated 12/14/01 Patten hasn't been a very good Fantasy receiver recently. His numbers may suffer now that Terry Glenn has returned.   Freddie Jones , Reserve TE Updated 12/14/01 Jones has been a Fantasy disappointment again this year. He won't do much against Oakland on Saturday.  Rod Gardner , Active WR Updated 12/14/01 Gardner has been a servicable Fantasy player this year, but don't count on him to find the end zone against the tough Philadelphia secondary this week.   Mark Brunell , Reserve QB Updated 12/13/01 Brunell did not practice Wednesday but will play Sunday, according to the Florida Times-Union. He is expected to practice on Thursday. Brunell is recovering from a lingering quadriceps injury and an injured finger.  Shannon Sharpe , Reserve TE Updated 12/13/01 Sharpe is recovering from a leg injury but is expected to play Sunday. He practiced Wednesday and is listed as probable on the injury report.   Steve Christie , Active K Updated 12/12/01 Christie will continue to work on field goals. Both he and Wade Richey, who is working on kickoffs, are not reliable Fantasy kickers.  Michael Pittman , Reserve RB Updated 12/02/01 Pittman had a solid game, posting 93 all-purpose yards and a touchdown against Oakland. He's been inconsistent as a Fantasy player, however, and is best used when the matchup is right.  Travis Prentice , 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 Fantasy draft choice right now.   Rams , Active DT Updated 08/30/01 Head Coach Mike Martz announced that safeties Kim Herring (hamstring) and Adam Archuleta (hamstring), linebackers Mark Fields (thigh) and London Fletcher (hamstring) and CB Aeneas Williams (back) will be held out of the Rams' final preseason game. However, they will all be ready for the season opener against Philadelphia on September 9. The Rams defense is worth a late-round selection on Draft Day.   Steelers , Reserve DT Updated 08/25/01 Defensive back Chad Scott sprained the medial collateral ligament in his right knee on Saturday. He is expected to have an MRI this weekend, and the team is uncertain of just how long he'll be out.   [IMAGE]  Copyright 2001 Commissioner.COM Inc and SportsLine.com Inc.
