Team Injuries/Analysis

Arizona Cardinals

Injuries: DOUBTFUL -- LB Pago Togafau (knee), S Matt Ware (head); QUESTIONABLE -- LB Clark Haggans (foot), CB Roderick Hood (ribs), C Lyle Sendlein (back); PROBABLE -- WR Anquan Boldin (back), S Adrian Wilson (shoulder).

Analysis: Boldin put in a full practice on Friday and is in no danger of missing this week's game against the Rams. IDP leaguers should have Wilson, who also put in a full practice and is listed as probable.


Team Injuries/Analysis

Atlanta Falcons

Injuries: QUESTIONABLE -- DT Jonathan Babineaux (shoulder), T Sam Baker (hip, back), S Erik Coleman (quadriceps), CB Brent Grimes (knee, quadriceps), S Antoine Harris (groin), DT Grady Jackson (knee), WR Laurent Robinson (hamstring), T Todd Weiner (knee); PROBABLE -- K Jason Elam (left hip), WR Brian Finneran (hamstring).

Analysis: Elam was limited in Friday's practice bit is listed as probable and is a fine start for fantasy leaguers.


Team Injuries/Analysis

Baltimore Ravens

Injuries: DOUBTFUL -- DT Lamar Divens (shoulder), G David Hale (ankle); QUESTIONABLE -- T Jared Gaither (shoulder), WR Derrick Mason (shoulder), S Ed Reed (thigh), CB Samari Rolle (thigh); PROBABLE -- LB Nick Greisen (back), WR Marcus Maxwell (hip), RB Willis McGahee (illness), LB Bart Scott (shoulder), CB Fabian Washington (shoulder).

Analysis: Mason is listed as questionable, but he put in a full practice and is likely to start against the Redskins. Still, it's a good idea to keep tabs on his status at gametime. The Ravens' defensive backfield has some significant injuries, as Reed and Rolle were limited in practice and are listed as questionable.


Team Injuries/Analysis

Buffalo Bills

Injuries: OUT -- CB Jabari Greer (knee), DE Aaron Schobel (foot); DOUBTFUL -- QB Trent Edwards (groin); QUESTIONABLE -- DE Copeland Bryan (foot), DE Chris Ellis (ankle), LB Teddy Lehman (hamstring), TE Robert Royal (hamstring), S Donte Whitner (shoulder); PROBABLE -- RB Marshawn Lynch (back).

Analysis: Lynch put in a full practice on Friday and will start in Week 14. QB J.P. Losman will start in the absence of Edwards, who is listed as doubtful to face the Dolphins. Schobel has been declared out, while Bryan, Ellis, Lehman and Whitner are listed as questionable, so the Bills defense will be at less than full strength.


Team Injuries/Analysis

Carolina Panthers

Injuries: DOUBTFUL -- LB Adam Seward (ankle), DE Hilee Taylor (calf); PROBABLE -- LB Na'il Diggs (thigh), CB Ken Lucas (head).

Analysis: Diggs and Lucas both put in full practice on Friday and will be active against the Buccaneers.


Team Injuries/Analysis

Chicago Bears

Injuries: OUT -- DT Dusty Dvoracek (biceps); DOUBTFUL -- RB Jason McKie (quadriceps), DE Adewale Ogunleye (shoulder); PROBABLE -- LB Hunter Hillenmeyer (Achilles).

Analysis: The Bears have some injuries on the defensive side of the football, as Dvoracek is out and Ogunleye is doubtful. Still, this unit remains a No. 1 fantasy defense in most formats.


Team Injuries/Analysis

Cincinnati Bengals

Injuries: OUT -- QB Carson Palmer (right elbow), G Kirk Barton (ankle), LB Eric Henderson (neck), DE Antwan Odom (shoulder), TE Ben Utecht (foot); DOUBTFUL -- OT Levi Jones (hamstring), S Chinedum Ndukwe (foot), RB Kenny Watson (hamstring); QUESTIONABLE -- CB David Jones (knee), RB Chris Perry; PROBABLE -- WR T.J. Houshmandzadeh (back), LB Rashad Jeanty (shin), DT John Thornton (wrist).

Analysis: QB Ryan Fitzpatrick will continue to start with Palmer out of action. Houshmandzadeh put in a full practice on Friday and will start against the Colts. RB Cedric Benson could see a lot of carries with Watson doubtful and Perry listed as questionable, but the absence of Levi Jones on the offensive line hurts his value.


Team Injuries/Analysis

Cleveland Browns

Injuries: OUT -- TE Kellen Winslow (ankle); DOUBTFUL -- RB Charles Ali (ribs); PROBABLE -- LB Beau Bell (knee), TE Darnell Dinkins (ankle), DT Shaun Smith (calf), WR Syndric Steptoe (ankle), DE Corey Williams (shoulder).

Analysis: With QBs Brady Quinn and Derek Anderson both out for the season, QB Ken Dorsey will start against the Titans. Winslow has been declared out for Week 14, so TE Steve Heiden will draw the start in his absence. Heiden's value is limited to larger leagues.


Team Injuries/Analysis

Dallas Cowboys

Injuries: OUT -- WR Miles Austin (knee), CB Mike Jenkins (hamstring); QUESTIONABLE -- RB Marion Barber (toe); PROBABLE -- WR Isaiah Stanback (shoulder), LB DeMarcus Ware (knee), WR Roy Williams (foot).

Analysis: Barber missed Friday's practice and will be a game-time decision to face the Steelers. RB Tashard Choice would start if Barber were inactive. Williams was also unable to practice, but he's listed as probable and will start in Week 14. QB Tony Romo and TE Jason Witten are not listed on the injury report.


Team Injuries/Analysis

Denver Broncos

Injuries: DOUBTFUL -- LB D.J. Williams (knee); QUESTIONABLE -- DE Ebenezer Ekuban (back), S Marlon McCree (ankle), CB Champ Bailey (groin), LB Spencer Larsen (groin, hip); PROBABLE -- G Ben Hamilton (wrist), RB Peyton Hillis (hip), WR Chad Jackson (ankle), WR Brandon Marshall (hip), DT Kenny Peterson (Achilles), RB P.J. Pope (ribs), DT Dewayne Robertson (knee, knee), LB Nate Webster (knee), RB Selvin Young (groin).

Analysis: Hillis and Marshall both put in a full practice on Friday and will start against the Chiefs. Hillis is a nice option in all leagues. Young also put in a full practice and appears set to return after an extended absence. Bailey was limited in practice and could need another week before he returns to action.


Team Injuries/Analysis

Detroit Lions

Injuries: OUT -- LB Alex Lewis (pectoral), QB Dan Orlovsky (right hand), DE Dewayne White (calf); QUESTIONABLE -- DT Chuck Darby (calf), DT Andre Fluellen (back), WR Shaun McDonald (ankle), CB Keith Smith (groin), QB Drew Stanton (concussion); PROBABLE -- G Stephen Peterman (knee), DT Cory Redding (knee), RB Kevin Smith (ankle).

Analysis: QB Daunte Culpepper will continue to start with Orlovsky out of action. RB Kevin Smith was limited in Friday's practice, but he's listed as probable and still expected to start in Week 14.


Team Injuries/Analysis

Green Bay Packers
Injuries: OUT -- S Atari Bigby (shoulder); QUESTIONABLE -- LB Brandon Chillar (groin), DE Jeremy Thompson (ankle), RB DeShawn Wynn (calf); PROBABLE -- G Allen Barbre (back), T Chad Clifton (knees), RB Ryan Grant (thumb), RB Brandon Jackson (quadriceps), DE Aaron Kampman (illness), RB John Kuhn (knee), S Aaron Rouse (ankle), C Scott Wells (concussion), CB Charles Woodson (toe).

Analysis: Grant put in a full practice on Friday and will start in Week 14. He's a nice fantasy option against the Texans and their weak run defense. Jackson and Woodson also put in full practices and will be active.


Team Injuries/Analysis

Houston Texans

Injuries: DOUBTFUL -- S Nick Ferguson (knee); QUESTIONABLE -- S Will Demps (hamstring); PROBABLE -- WR David Anderson (achilles), QB Matt Schaub (knee), LB Chaun Thompson (hamstring), DE Anthony Weaver (knee), CB Eugene Wilson (ankle).

Analysis: Schaub put in a full practice on Friday and will start against the Packers. Still, he's not a recommended option based on the tough matchup.


Team Injuries/Analysis

Indianapolis Colts

Injuries: OUT -- LB Gary Brackett (fibula), DT Keyunta Dawson (hamstring); QUESTIONABLE -- RB Joseph Addai (knee), WR Anthony Gonzalez (shoulder), LB Tyjuan Hagler (knee), S Bob Sanders (knee), C Jeff Saturday (calf).

Analysis: Addai was limited in Friday's practice and is listed as questionable for Week 14, but he's still expected to start against the Bengals. Still, it's a good idea to add RB Dominic Rhodes as insurance. Gonzalez was also added to the injury report, listed as questionable with an injured shoulder. Sanders and Saturday are also listed as questionable, but both put in full practices. WR Reggie Wayne (not injury related) was removed from the injury report.


Team Injuries/Analysis

Jacksonville Jaguars

Injuries: QUESTIONABLE -- RB Greg Jones (ankle); PROBABLE -- TE Greg Estandia (foot), DT Tony McDaniel (toe).

Analysis: No significant injuries.


Team Injuries/Analysis

Kansas City Chiefs

Injuries: OUT -- LB Donnie Edwards (knee, hamstring), CB Patrick Surtain (quadriceps), WR Mark Bradley (calf); QUESTIONABLE -- G Adrian Jones (ankle), LB Patrick Thomas (hamstring); PROBABLE -- DE Tamba Hali (ankle), C Rudy Niswanger (ankle), C Wade Smith (ankle).

Analysis: Bradley has been declared out for Week 14, so fantasy owners need to seek other alternatives at the position. The Chiefs have some injuries on the defensive side of the football, as Edwards and Surtain are also out. Regardless, the Chiefs defense has little value in fantasy leagues.


Team Injuries/Analysis

Miami Dolphins

Injuries: PROBABLE -- S Jason Allen (hand).

Analysis: No significant injuries.


Team Injuries/Analysis

Minnesota Vikings

Injuries: OUT -- DE Brian Robison (knee); QUESTIONABLE -- T Artis Hicks (elbow), TE Garrett Mills (ankle); PROBABLE -- DE Jared Allen (shoulder), DT Letroy Guion (ankle), T Bryant McKinnie (ankle), S Darren Sharper (ankle), S Madieu Williams (shoulder).

Analysis: Allen, Sharper and Williams all put in a full practice on Friday and will be active in Week 14. In other news, it appears DTs Kevin Williams and Pat Williams (suspension) will be active and start, so Lions RB Kevin Smith will be a far less attractive option.


Team Injuries/Analysis

New England Patriots

Injuries: OUT -- LB Pierre Woods (jaw); DOUBTFUL -- LB Vince Redd (ankle), WR Kelley Washington (thigh); QUESTIONABLE -- LB Tedy Bruschi (knee), CB Ellis Hobbs (shoulder), RB LaMont Jordan (calf), DE Ty Warren (groin); PROBABLE -- C Dan Koppen (elbow).

Analysis: The Patriots have several injuries to the defensive side of the football, so keep tabs on the status of Warren, Bruschi, Hobbs and Seymour. The team has signed LBs Rosevelt Colvin and Junior Seau to add depth to an injury-riddled group of linebackers.


Team Injuries/Analysis

New Orleans Saints

Injuries: PROBABLE -- RB Reggie Bush (knee), LB Troy Evans (knee), RB Mike Karney (knee).

Analysis: Bush did not participate in Friday's practice, but his absence was considered a precaution. He's listed as probable and is a safe play for fantasy owners.


Team Injuries/Analysis

New York Giants

Injuries: OUT -- LB Jonathan Goff (hamstring); QUESTIONABLE -- CB Corey Webster (back); PROBABLE -- C Shaun O'Hara (knee), DT Fred Robbins (shoulder), RB Ahmad Bradshaw (neck).

Analysis: WR Plaxico Burress is out for the rest of the season, so WR Domenik Hixon will start in his absence. Bradshaw put in a full practice on Friday and will be active against the Eagles.


Team Injuries/Analysis

New York Jets

Injuries: QUESTIONABLE -- CB Ahmad Carroll (foot), WR Laveranues Coles (thigh), LB David Harris (groin), S Eric Smith (head); PROBABLE -- WR Jerricho Cotchery (shoulder), DE Shaun Ellis (back), LB Jason Trusnik (knee).

Analysis: Coles was limited in Friday's practice and is listed as questionable, but he'll be active and start against the 49ers. Cotchery put in a full practice and will start as well. K Mike Nugent is not listed on the injury report, so keep tabs on this situation. K Jay Feely is a great fantasy option as long as Nugent doesn't return this week.


Team Injuries/Analysis

Philadelphia Eagles

Injuries: OUT -- G Shawn Andrews (back), RB Correll Buckhalter (knee); DOUBTFUL -- RB Correll Buckhalter (knee); QUESTIONABLE -- RB Brian Westbrook (knee, ankle); PROBABLE -- G Todd Herremans (knee, ankle), CB Asante Samuel (neck), TE L.J. Smith (hamstring), T Tra Thomas (knee, groin).

Analysis: Westbrook missed Friday's practice and is listed as questionable for Week 14, but his absence was considered a precaution. Still, it's a good idea to check on his status at gametime. RB Lorenzo Booker would start if Westbrook were a surprise inactive. Smith put in a full practice and will start against the Giants, but he's not a recommended fantasy option.


Team Injuries/Analysis

Pittsburgh Steelers

Injuries: OUT -- DE Brett Keisel (knee), T Marvel Smith (back); PROBABLE -- DE Travis Kirschke (back), CB Bryant McFadden (forearm), RB Willie Parker (knee, shoulder), S Troy Polamalu (calf), QB Ben Roethlisberger (knee), DE Aaron Smith (knee).

Analysis: Roethlisberger and Parker both put in a full practice on Friday and will start against the Cowboys. The Steelers defensive backfield will also have Polamalu and McFadden, who are both listed as probable.


Team Injuries/Analysis

St. Louis Rams

Injuries: OUT -- CB Tye Hill (knee); QUESTIONABLE -- WR Keenan Burton (knee), DE Victor Adeyanju (neck); PROBABLE -- WR Donnie Avery (hip), LB Chris Draft (foot), RB Steven Jackson (thigh), LB Gary Stills (back), LB Will Witherspoon (shoulder), DT La'Roi Glover (knee).

Analysis: Jackson put in a full practice on Friday and will start against the Cardinals. He'll be a solid option for fantasy owners. Avery, whose value has fallen hard in recent weeks, also put in a full practice and will be active. IDP leaguers should have Witherspoon, who is listed as probable.


Team Injuries/Analysis

San Francisco 49ers

Injuries: DOUBTFUL -- CB Allen Rossum (ankle); QUESTIONABLE -- CB Nate Clements (thumb); PROBABLE -- S Michael Lewis (abdomen), WR Arnaz Battle (foot), S Dashon Goldson (knee), WR Josh Morgan (groin).

Analysis: Battle and Morgan both put in full practices on Friday and are listed as probable for Week 14. Neither wideout has much fantasy value right now. Clements was unable to practice, but reports indicate he'll be active against the Jets.


Team Injuries/Analysis

Seattle Seahawks

Injuries: DOUBTFUL -- QB Matt Hasselbeck (back); QUESTIONABLE -- LB Leroy Hill (neck), T Walter Jones (knee); PROBABLE -- DT Red Bryant (ankle), WR Koren Robinson (knee), S C.J. Wallace (hamstring).

Analysis: Hasselbeck missed Friday's practice and is listed as doubtful for Week 14, so QB Seneca Wallace will draw the start. That makes WRs Deion Branch and Bobby Engram less attractive in fantasy leagues.


Team Injuries/Analysis

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Injuries: DOUBTFUL -- DT Jovan Haye (knee); QUESTIONABLE -- DE Gaines Adams (hip), DE Kevin Carter (illness), WR Michael Clayton (knee), QB Brian Griese (right elbow).

Analysis: Clayton is listed as questionable to face the Panthers, but he put in a full practice on Friday and should be active. Regardless, he's not a viable fantasy option.


Team Injuries/Analysis

Tennessee Titans

Injuries: QUESTIONABLE -- CB Cortland Finnegan (hamstring), CB Nicholas Harper (ankle), QB Vince Young (right thumb); PROBABLE -- LB David Thornton (hip).

Analysis: Finnegan was limited in Friday's practice and is listed as questionable, so IDP leaguers need to keep tabs on his status at gametime. Thornton is probable and will be active.


Team Injuries/Analysis

Washington Redskins

Injuries: OUT -- LB Marcus Washington (ankle); QUESTIONABLE -- DE Andre Carter (foot), LB London Fletcher (foot), DT Kedric Golston (ankle), DT Cornelius Griffin (shoulder, abdomen), RB Clinton Portis (knee, neck), CB Shawn Springs (calf); PROBABLE -- G Pete Kendall (knee), T Chris Samuels (knee), G Randy Thomas (neck).

Analysis: Portis was limited in Friday's practice and is listed as questionable for Week 14. His status could come down to a game-time decision. RB Ladell Betts would start if Portis were inactive. IDP leaguers need to keep tabs on the status of Carter and Fletcher, as both players are listed as questionable.
