Week 4 Injury Report

Detroit @ Chicago

(DET) Ernie Sims is questionable, but says he will play. His presence would help a poor Detroit defense. Kevin Smith is questionable and will be a gametime decision. Watch for this update Sunday morning. He is worth a start if he goes.

(CHI) Hunter Hillenmeyer is doubtful and Lance Briggs is questionable. The Bears’ linebackers are cursed. If Kevin Smith goes he would be a good play. Desmond Clark returns from his rib injury, but isn’t worth fantasy consideration. Matt Forte was a full participant in practice and is probable and a good start against the Lions.

Cincinnati @ Cleveland

(CIN) Cedric Benson is probable and a good start against Cleveland.

(CLE) Jamal Lewis is out and James Davis is still questionable with a shoulder injury. Start Jerome Harrison as a flex. [UPDATE]: The Browns placed RB James Davis on IR on Saturday.

Oakland @ Houston

(OAK) Chaz Schilens is still doubtful. Johnnie Lee Higgens will not play.

(HOU) Chris Brown is probable and will continue to get goalline carries. Andre Davis should return from his concussion for this game.

Seattle @ Indianapolis

(SEA) Matt Hasselbeck is still out and Seneca Wallace will get the start again. Lofa Tatupa was limited in practice, but should play.

(IND) Anthony Gonzalez is still out. Dwight Freeney is questionable. If he goes don’t expect him to play much. Bob Sanders is still out which always hurts their run defense.

Tennessee @ Jacksonville

(TEN) Cortland Finnegan is doubtful. This hurts an already weak secondary. LenDale White was sick with the flu, but practiced and should be good to go. He is getting all the goalline carries still.

(JAC) There are no fantasy related injuries for the Jaguars this week.

New York (N) @ Kansas City

(NYG) Ahmad Bradshaw will be good to go after wearing a boot for much of the week. Justin Tuck should also be able to go.

(KC) Dwayne Bowe is a gametime decision and isn’t a solid play against a tough Giants’ pass defense even if he does go.

Baltimore @ New England

(BAL) Derrick Mason was a late addition to the injury report as questionable with an illness, but should be able to go come Sunday. Kelley Washington and Todd Heap were full participants in practice and should be able to go.

(NE) Randy Moss was taken off the injury report and is ready to play. Vince Wilfork was limited and if he can’t go it will help the Ravens’ running backs. Wes Welker is once again a game time decision. Stay tuned to for the latest reports here. Laurence Maroney is probable, but not a good fantasy play.

Tampa Bay @ Washington

(TAM) Antonio Bryant was limited in practice and is not a good start with Josh Johnson at quarterback. Derrick Ward is questionable and likely to not go so Cadillac Williams will get the start. Caddy might be okay for a flex, but Tampa Bay is in shambles right now.

(WAS) Clinton Portis is a game time decision so have Ladell Betts ready to go. Albert Haynesworth is probable so upgrade Washingtons’ defense.

Buffalo @ Miami

(BUF) Leodis McKelvin (IR), Donte Whitner, and Bryan Scott are all hurting in the Bills’ secondary so upgrade the Dolphins receivers.

(MIA) Joey Porter is the only player on the Dolphins injury report, he probably won’t play.

New York (A) @ New Orleans

(NYJ) Lito Shephard is still out, but Kris Jenkins should play. All world cornerback Darrelle Revis is probable.

(NO) Mike Bell is still out, but Pierre Thomas has been taken off the injury report. Start him! Lance Moore is probable, but not a good play against the Jets.

Dallas @ Denver

(DAL) Felix Jones is out, but Marion Barber is probable. He is worth a start.

(DEN) Brandon Stokley was limited in practice, but should go.

ST. Louis @ San Francisco

(STL) Marc Bulger is out and Kyle Boller will get the start. Laurent Robinson is done for the season so get Donnie Avery in your lineups.

(SF) Frank Gore is out and Glen Coffee will get the start against a week St. Louis defense. Start him!

San Diego @ Pittsburgh

(SAN) LaDainian Tomlinson is probable to return from his ankle injury. Against a tough Steelers’ run defense you nay look for better options, but he is worth a flex play.

(PIT) The Steelers also have running backs hurt, with Willie Parker doubtful to play because of turf toe. Rashard Mendenhall will get the start. He is worth a flex play. Troy Polamula won’t play, so upgrade the Chargers pass offense.
