Jake Locker ruled, boosts Matt Hasselbeck’s fantasy value

Jake Locker has not practiced all week and he has been ruled out with an injury to the AC joint in his non-throwing shoulder.

Analysis: This is the second time this season that Locker has suffered an injury to his non-throwing shoulder and it sounds like he could be out for a while. Locker hasn't been too reckless, but he has sustained his fair share of hits. Fantasy owners of Locker might want to cut bait unless they're in a really deep league. As for this week, Matt Hasselbeck will get the start against the Vikings. The Vikings have been better this year, but they ranked 31st in completion percentage last year and the speed of the Titans at the skill positions could set up nicely for the veteran. If you're in a bye-week jam, Hasselbeck could be viewed as a low-end QB2.
