Feeley to start Sunday for Rams

It appears that an ankle sprain will keep Sam Bradford out against the Cowboys on Sunday. A.J. Feeley will get his first start of the season in Bradford's place.

Bradford suffered the injury last weekend. Though he was in a boot after the game, he managed to log some practice time early in the week. However, it appears that the injury was too much for Bradford to handle.

Janikowski may miss week 7

Sebastian Janikowski may need to rest his hamstring, and could be unavailable this weekend. The big-legged kicker didn't practice Friday.

With Oakland playing a late game, and the Raiders on a bye next weekend, fantasy owners will want to troll the waiver wire and see what's available as a replacement.

Boller may start Sunday versus Chiefs

It appears as though the Raiders may opt to start Kyle Boller against the Chiefs on Sunday, keeping newly acquired Carson Palmer on the bench.

It was initially assumed Palmer would start, and then coach Hue Jackson said Thursday that he would possibly consider using both quarterbacks during the game. Now league sources indicate that Boller will likely start.

Palmer joined the team just five days ago and has been out of football since last season. If Boller does start, expect the Raiders to feed the Chiefs a heavy dose of Darren McFadden and Michael Bush.

Mendenhall practices fully on Friday

Rashard Mendenhall, who left practice early on Thursday, made it through a full practice on Friday and is listed as probably for Sunday's game against Arizona.

It looks like Mendenhall will be good to go, coming off a season-best performance last weekend.

LeGarrette Blount missing Sunday's game in London

Looks like Earnest Graham will be getting the start once again and he's done pretty decently with the opportunity.

Addai still not practicing

No less an authority than Colts owner Jim Irsay reported that Joseph Addai did not participate in practice again on Thursday.

Addai has been nursing a hamstring injury, and it looks as though he'll likely miss one more game. Delone Carter and Donald Brown will again split carries in Addai's absence.

Gates out of practice again Thursday

Chargers TE Antonio Gates was held out of practice again on Thursday.

Gates had returned to limited practice Wednesday, and is appearing more and more like a game-time decision for Sunday's tilt against the Jets.

The star tight end has missed the Chargers' last three games with a foot injury.

Mike Wallace back at practice

Steelers receiver Mike Wallace returned to limited practice on Thursday after missing practice on Wednesday with a hamstring ailment.

Wallace is on track to play against the Cardinals on Sunday. Arizona boasts one of the worst pass defenses in the league.

Mendenhall limited by knee injury

Rashard Mendenhall was limited by a knee injury on practice Thursday and has been listed on the Steelers' injury report.

The extent of the injury isn't clear, so no moves are warranted yet. If for some reason Mendenhall couldn't go, Isaac Redman and Jonathan Dwyer would likely pick up extra carries.

Mendenhall finally broke out of a funk last weekend with his first 100-yard performance of the season. He was returning from a hamstring strain.

Jimmy Graham held out of practice

Top tight end Jimmy Graham was held out of practice Thursday with ankle soreness.

Coaches still expect Graham to play, and said they merely wanted to give Graham some rest, but the situation bears watching.

Olsen returns to practice for Panthers

Panthers TE Greg Olsen returned to practice Thursday and is expected to start this weekend against the Redskins.

Olsen is battling turf toe.

Morris to start at RB for Detroit

Finally, some clarity in the Detroit backfield.

Lions OC Scott Linehan confirmed that Maurice Morris will start against the Falcons. Backup Keiland Williams will also see carries, while Jerome Harrison is out for the season battling a brain tumor.

The trio of backs is looking to fill Jahvid Best's shoes. Best is out after suffering his second concussion of the season, but the team does expect him to play again this year.

Bradford may not start vs. Cowboys

After positive reports early this week, it appears Sam Bradford may not end up behind center for the Rams' game against the Cowboys.

Bradford suffered an ankle sprain last weekend and was in a walking boot, but did practice some this week.

A.J. Feeley would get the start if Bradford can't go.

Lions' Harrison has brain tumor

The health concern that voided the Ronnie Brown-Jerome Harrison trade turns out to be a tumor that an MRI picked up in Harrison's brain.

Harrison won't play again this year, but his long-term prognosis is reportedly positive. Ironically, the trade might have benefited Harrison, since without it he wouldn't have received the MRI.

The thoughts and prayers of everyone at Fan2C Football are with Harrison as he begins his recovery.

Lions deal for Ronnie Brown voided

Ronnie Brown will not be headed to the Lions after all.

The Lions' deal with the Eagles was voided because of unspecified health issues surrounding Jerome Harrison, the player Philadelphia was receiving in the deal.

Brown should be returned to the waiver wire in most fantasy leagues. Maurice Morris and Keiland Williams are the players to watch if Lions RB Jahvid Best (concussion) can't go Sunday.

Mike Sims-Walker back with the Jags

That didn't take long. Sims-Walker is back with his original team where he played well the last couple years. This is one of those moves that should have a positive impact on every involved. On a separate note, TE Zach Miller was placed on IR, so we won't be seeing him again this season.

Carson Palmer to start Sunday

Palmer hasn't practiced since last year, so it will be interesting to see how he does and the impact on the Raiders' WRs. Those badly in need of a QB may want to take a chance that the former Bengals' QB returns to his old form quickly and makes a fantasy impact this season.

Rex Grossman benched, John Beck to start

It's official, Rex Grossman will be on the bench Sunday while John Beck tries to prove at 30 years of age that he has what it takes to be a starting QB in the NFL. Even with all of his turnovers, Grossman has been a decent fantasy QB so it will be interesting to see if Beck has the potential to start on your team, depending on byes and match ups.

Andre Johnson out until week 12?

While not likely, Johnson said that there's a chance he's out a total of six weeks which would take him through the Texans' week 11 bye. At the very least, you probably won't be seeing him the next couple weeks. If I had to guess, week 9 or 10 is more likely. Until then, Kevin Walter and Jacoby Jones will continue to see an increase in targets, as will Arian Foster's workload.

Brandon Jacobs plans week 8 return

As expected, Brandon Jacobs plans to use the bye week to recover from a knee sprain and expects to return in week 8 against the Dolphins.

Ahmad Bradshaw will remain the Giants' primary back, but could see his carries eaten into as a result of Jacobs' return.

Lions trade for Ronnie Brown

The Lions have traded Jerome Harrison and an undisclosed 2013 draft pick for Philadelphia Eagles backup running back Ronnie Brown.

Lions coach Jim Schwartz earlier today refused to rule out Jahvid Best for next Sunday's game, but this moves suggests legitimate concern. Best suffered his second concussion of the year against the 49ers.

The move further muddles the running back situation in Detroit. If Best can't play, Brown, Maurice Morris, and possibly Keiland Williams will be in the mix to pick up extra playing time.

Harrison was effective as a backup last year for the Eagles, but will again see limited time behind stud starter LeSean McCoy.

Jags to re-sign Mike Sims-Walker

Sims-Walker, released earlier this week by the Rams, is re-signing with the Jaguars.

The receiver had his most productive seasons in Jacksonville, hauling in seven touchdowns apiece in both 2009 and 2010. However, with rookie Blaine Gabbert at the helm, the Jags' passing attack has been anemic.

Sims-Walker is nothing more than a speculation play at this point.

McNabb benched, Ponder to start

Leslie Frazier has officially named Christian Ponder the Vikings' starter at QB. Donovan McNabb will ride the bench for Minnesota's week 7 game against Green Bay.

Ponder immediately becomes a player of interest for fantasy purposes. However, he looked pedestrian during the preseason, and there are easier defenses against which to kick off an NFL career than the Packers.

This move probably bodes well for Adrian Peterson, since Frazier will rely on him to keep the heat off his rookie quarterback.

Cedric Benson's suspension reduced

Because of their extensive experience keeping the Bengals' starting RB out of jail, Benson's lawyers successfully reduced his suspension from three games to one. With the Bengals on bye next week, Bernard Scott will be the featured back on October 30th against the Seahawks and will be a nice pick-up if you have players on bye during week 8.

Carson Palmer traded to Raiders

In the wake of Jason Campbell's broken collarbone, the Raiders have traded for "retired" Bengals QB Carson Palmer.

Palmer immediately steps in as the Raiders starting quarterback, and should be an instant pickup in competitive fantasy leagues.

The Raiders dealt a first round pick in 2012 and a conditional first round pick in 2013 for Palmer, which begs the question: Did Al Davis make this trade from the grave?

For those of you keeping track (Raiders fans), Oakland has now traded away its first, second, fourth, and seventh round picks in 2012, and spent its third round pick on Terrelle Pryor in the supplemental draft.

Rams cut Mike Sims-Walker, activate Mark Clayton

No fantasy impact for now, but it will be interesting to see if Clayton continues his strong play from last year and if someone allows the 27 year old Sims-Walker a better opportunity.

Antonio Gates finally practices

The Chargers' TE was finally able to practice today and at this point, it seems like he may be able to play in week 7. Check back later in the week, but if Gates is a go and you've held on to him, he's the most talented TE in the league and your patience will be rewarded.

Chris Cooley has a broken finger

The Redskins' TE will need surgery on his left index finger and is out indefinitely. While Cooley hasn't had much of a fantasy impact this year, Fred Davis has been playing well and will certainly receive even more targets in the future.

Jahvid Best has another concussion

News is out that Best suffered a concussion in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game against the 49ers. Because it's his second concussion, the Lions star RB will most likely miss the week 7 game against Falcons. Maurice Morris will get the start in his place, but Keiland Williams should handle the short yardage situations and Jerome Harrison may get get some carries as well.

Following the game, Lions' coach Jim Schwartz was lucky not to get a concussion as well when he tried to fight 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh following a handshake he considered to be "too firm".

Sam Bradford has high ankle sprain

Just when you thought things were looking up for Brandon Lloyd, his new starting QB is diagnosed with a high ankle sprain. AJ Feeley will get first team reps this week, but there's still a chance Bradford will play Sunday as his status is considered day-to-day.

Brandon Lloyd being dealt to Rams

Broncos wide receiver Brandon Lloyd is reportedly being dealt to the Rams.

This is a move with a lot of fantasy implications. Lloyd's value is likely salvaged a bit, since he'll have more success with Sam Bradford throwing to him than he likely would have with Tim Tebow. Bradford's stock is boosted as well. Demaryius Thomas may take Lloyd's place in the starting lineup.

Tebow, on the other hand, may struggle. Without the downfield threat of Lloyd, defenses will be free to stack the box. If Tebow can't run the football, he'll have trouble producing big fantasy lines--or winning many games.

No word yet on what the Broncos will receive in return.

Felix Jones out at least two weeks

Jerry Jones announced Felix Jones (not related) sustained a high ankle sprain on Sunday against the Patriots and could be out anywhere from two weeks to over a month. Rookie DeMarco Murray is the pick-up here, while Tashard Choice should see an increase in carries as well.

Hillis injured (or benched), Hardesty mediocre

Peyton Hillis left the game against the Raiders which was first said to be a coach's decision (read: benching), but then changed to a hamstring injury, but then he returned to the game briefly so more to come on that debacle. Unfortunately, Hardest didn't do much in relief but is still a good pick-up as his carries will surely continue to increase. Hopefully he can do something with them.

Jason Campbell done for the season

Campbell broke his right collar bone against the Browns and is done for the year. If you have him on your roster, you've probably got bigger issues however. With that said, it'll be interesting to see how Kyle Boller will effect the other fantasy players on Oakland's roster.

No surprises thus far.

Grossman benched for Beck

John Beck entered the game at quarterback for the Redskins after incumbent starter Rex Grossman was benched following his fourth interception.

At the time of his benching, Grossman was 9-of-22 for 143 yards, no touchdowns, and the four picks. The Redskins trailed the Eagles 20-6. The Redskins confirmed that Grossman was not injured.

Royal joins Lloyd on trade block

Report have wide receiver Eddie Royal joining fellow Bronco Brandon Lloyd on the trade block. Both players are in the last year of their contracts.

The Patriots, Niners, Titans, and Rams have so far inquired on Lloyd, though at this point no deal is imminent.

Four teams inquire about Lloyd

Four teams have so far inquired about Broncos wide receiver Brandon Lloyd. Those four teams are reportedly the Rams, Patriots, 49ers, and Titans.

Fantasy owners would obviously love to see Lloyd go to New England, where Tom Brady would likely boost Lloyd's production. The Rams have been searching for a go-to receiver for Sam Bradford all season, while the Niners and Titans have both dealt with significant injuries in their receiver corps.
