Cowboys cut Tashard Choice

Last week Choice hurt his shoulder, Phillip Tanner played well and DeMarco Murray playing especially well leaving the door open for the Cowboys to cut the former back-up RB. May be a little premature with only two active RBs for next Sunday's game, but makes sense with Felix Jones on the roster as well.

Mark Ingram ruled out, Chris Ivory added to roster

Ingram's heel injury will keep him out this week, not that the Saints will need him facing the winless Rams (without their star QB). The team activated Chris Ivory, who is an interesting flex play assuming the Saints get out to an early lead, run the ball, and rest Pierre Thomas/Darren Sproles.

Sam Bradford officially ruled out for Sunday

As expected, A.J. Feeley will again get the start on Sunday due to Bradford's high ankle sprain. It's unfortunate Bradford is missing the games, as the Saints pass defense is nothing to write home about and would have certainly helped his stats. The good news is that Feeley and Brandon Lloyd had a strong connection last week that should continue on Sunday.

Andre Johnson out one more week

While it's too bad for Johnson owners, at least head coach Gary Kubiak made the decision on Friday leaving ample time to find a replacement.

Peyton Hillis missed practice Thursday & Friday

Hillis reinjured his hamstring on Wednesday and missed the next two days of practice. All signs are pointing to Montario Hardesty getting the bulk of carries once again on Sunday, but either way, the 49ers are the toughest team in football on opposing RBs so neither Hillis or Hardesty would be a good start no matter the situation.

Beanie Wells "very, very doubtful" for Sunday

Despite Wells' optimism this week, it looks like the knee injury he suffered against the Steelers will keep him out at least one week.

Jason LaCanorfa of the NFL Network reports that Wells is "very, very doubtful." Alfonso Smith and LaRod Stephens-Howling will pick up carries in Wells' absence.

Bradford unlikely to start Sunday

Sam Bradford is still battling a high ankle sprain, and his status is in doubt for St. Louis' game against the Saints on Sunday.

Bradford sat out practice again on Thursday and hasn't been at practice yet this week. A.J. Feeley would get another start if Bradford can't play.

Stafford expected to start on Sunday

It's been an up-and-down week for Lions QB Matthew Stafford, but it appears that he'll be ready to start on Sunday.

Stafford practiced again on Thursday. More importantly, he took all the snaps with the first-team offense. Earlier in the week, backup Shaun Hill had been taking some snaps with the first-team offense as well.

Ingram out again on Thursday

Mark Ingram sat out again on Thursday and his status is in doubt for the Saints' game against the Rams and their league-worst run defense this weekend.

If Ingram can't play, Pierre Thomas would get an upgrade in the fantasy rankings. Darren Sproles is a typically strong play.

Peterson practices, expected to play

After being held out on Wednesday, Adrian Peterson was back at practice Thursday and is expected to be ready to go for the Vikings' game against a weak Panthers defense.

Sanders to start if Ward can't

Emmanuel Sanders will get the start for the Steelers opposite Mike Wallace if Hines Ward is unable to play.

Fellow wideout Antonio Brown has been the buzzier player this week, but Sanders' added experience probably plays a role here.

Addai struggles with aggravated hamstring

Joseph Addai, who aggravated an existing hamstring injury last weekend, did not practice on Wednesday.

It's looking increasingly less likely that he'll be able to play in week 8. Friday's practice should give fantasy owners a better indicator.

Delone Carter and Donald Brown are next in line for carries, though Carter has been significantly more productive than Brown in Addai's absence.

Bradford doubtful against Saints

Rams QB Sam Bradford is still recovering from a high ankle sprain, and will likely miss St. Louis' week 8 game against the Saints.

Bradford just had his cast removed Wednesday. If he can't play, A.J. Feeley should get another start in his stead. Feeley was serviceable if unspectacular in another Rams loss in week 7.

Harvin expected to play against Panthers

Percy Harvin didn't practice Wednesday, but is expected to battle through a rib issue and play Sunday against Carolina.

Harvin has been a huge fantasy disappointment this year, and while erratic quarterback play has certainly contributed, continuing health problems have been an issue as well.

Peterson held out of practice Wednesday

Adrian Peterson was held out of practice on Wednesday. He appeared to have suffered some kind of ankle injury late in last Sunday's game against the Packers.

There's no definitive word on his status for this week's game against Carolina. Wednesday's rest may have been purely precautionary, but the situation bears watching.

Andre Johnson's status still in doubt

It appears that Johnson's optimistic attitude earlier in the week may have been a bit premature.

While Johnson is back at practice in a limited role, he felt a tug in his hamstring while running at full speed. He's more likely to be back next week than this one.

Wells probably out for week 8

Though nothing definitive has been announced, it looks like Beanie Wells will sit out Arizona's week 8 matchup.

Wells suffered a knee injury against the Steelers, and would be up against another tough run defense this week against Baltimore anyway. Alfonso Smith would get the start if Beanie does in fact sit out.

On the bright side, Wells appears optimistic enough that it's possible he'll play in week 9, when the Cardinals face the Rams. St. Louis has allowed nearly six yards per carry to opposing running backs so far this season.

Jahvid Best likely out til week 10

It appears the Lions will keep Jahvid Best out of Sunday's game against the Broncos. That, combined with Detroit's week 9 bye, will allow Best two more full weeks of rest to recover from a concussion.

If Best sits, it's likely that Maurice Morris and Keiland Williams will see an increased workload for the second consecutive week.

Matthew Stafford back at practice

While Stafford split first team reps with Shaun Hill today, it's a positive sign and he should be able to recreate a Pro version of the Georgia vs. Florida rivalry on Sunday, when he faces Tim Tebow and the Broncos.

Peyton Hillis took starting reps at practice

Looks like even though Hardesty played decently in Hillis' absence, he will remain the back-up, although the carries might end up as an even split. Only time will tell.

Chris Cooley put on IR, season over

The hits just keep coming for the Redskins. Days after the team lost Tim Hightower for the season to a torn ACL, and Santana Moss for five to seven weeks with a broken hand, Washington placed TE Chris Cooley on injured reserve.

Cooley had been battling a knee injury and a broken finger. The move ends Cooley's season for good, and ensures that Fred Davis will continue to be a major focal point of the offense moving forward.

Wells may play in week 8

Beanie Wells' knee is stable, Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt reported, and the running back won't require surgery.

There is no timetable on Wells' return. Even if he does play in week 8, he'll be less than 100 percent and facing Baltimore's otherworldly run defense, so fantasy owners will likely want to look elsewhere.

If Wells can't play Sunday, Alfonso Smith, LaRod Stephens-Howling, and Chester Taylor would all be in line for increased carries.

Stafford "no more than day-to-day"

Fantasy owners and Lions fans dodged a bullet when an MRI of Matthew Stafford's injured ankle came back negative.

Lions coach Jim Schwartz characterized Stafford as "no more than day-to-day," though the quarterback was in a walking book yesterday.

Stafford will reportedly seek a second opinion later this week, but right now it appears as though he'll play versus the Broncos in week 8.

Braylon Edwards expected back at practice

Niners coach John Harbaugh said he expects Braylon Edwards back at practice on Tuesday. Edwards has missed the past several games recovering from surgery to repair a torn right meniscus.

The 49ers have been thin at receiver, losing Josh Morgan for the season, so Edwards' return could provide a boost.

Willis McGahee to miss at least one game

McGahee's broken finger will give the Broncos' starting RB job back to Knowshon Moreno, at least for Sunday but possibly longer depending on how quickly the injury heals after McGahee undergoes surgery later this week.

Earnest Graham done for year

For the sake of the Bucs, let's hope LeGarrette Blount is back after the bye. Graham tore his achilles tendon on Sunday against the Bears.

Tim Hightower offcially done for year, Santana Moss for 5-7 weeks

While this was all expected, it just became official. Upgrade Roy Helu, Ryan Torain, Jabar Gaffney and Fred Davis.

Tim Hightower may have torn ACL

Looks like the worst possible scenario for Hightower owners. More tests are going to be done on the Redskins RB today to confirm a torn ACL. If Roy Helu or Ryan Torain are available in your league, pick them ASAP.

On a separate note, Mike Shanahan confirmed Santana Moss will miss next weeks game against the Bills because of his broken hand.

Santana Moss breaks hand, Tim Hightower hurt knee too

Looks like both Redskins players will be missing some time. More info to come.

Beanie Wells leaves with knee sprain

Beanie Wells left in the second quarter of the Cardinals' game against the Steelers with a knee injury and didn't return.

After the game, Cards coach Ken Whisenhunt said he wasn't sure of the severity of Wells' injury.

Choice leaves game with undisclosed injury

Dallas RB Tashard Choice left Sunday's game against the Rams with an undisclosed injury he suffered in the third quarter.

Of course, he was being badly outplayed by rookie DeMarco Murray anyway. Murray exploded for 253 yards and a touchdown on 25 carries, including a 91-yard touchdown run on the first carry of his first career start.

Fantasy owners lucky enough to have landed Murray have to hope that Felix Jones's injury lingers a little bit longer. The Rams' defense isn't great, but 250+ yards is impressive against anyone.

Earnest Graham out rest of the game

Bucs' RB injury woes continue, as Graham left today's game against the Bears with an ankle injury. Kregg Lumpkin is now getting carries, but expect a pass heavy attack for the rest of the game.

Marshawn Lynch injures back in warm-ups

Not much info on this, but Lynch must have been stretching a little too aggressively before the game and hurt his back. Justin Forsett and Leon Washington will split carries in his place.
