Smith Injured

49ers QB Alex Smith injured his shoulder after a sack and was replaced by QB Trent Dilfer. His return is considered questionable.

Bruce Injured

Rams WR Isaac Bruce injured his hamstring in today's game. Considering his age, this injured has to be considered important. It is unknown how much time if any, Bruce will miss.

Williams Injured

It looks as if Bucs RB Cadillac Williams severely injured his right knee in today's game. Expect to see a lot of Earnest Graham this week. Look for the Bucs to quickly try and sign a veteran RB. Can anyone say Corey Dillon??

Late Sunday News

The Panthers will sit QB Jake Delhomme and start David Carr v. the Bucs

Lion WR Calvin Johnson will not play today v. the Bears.

Ram QB Marc Bulger will start today despite having broken ribs

NFL News And Notes

To confirm an earlier report, Bronco WR Javon Walker is OUT today v. the Colts with a knee injury

Lions WR Calvin Johnson will be a game time decision with a back injury

Viking QB Tavaris Jackson is questionable today with a groin injury but regardless Kelly Holcomb will again get the start

Viking RB Chester Taylor will get the start v. the Packers today but it should not diminish the playing time of R Adrian Peterson

Despite a severely sprained ankle Giant WR Plaxico Burress will play

Packer RB Verand Morency will get the start today but the Pack will be without R Brandon Jackson who has a shin problem

Raider HC Lane Kiffin has confirmed that QB Duante Culpepper will make the start today v. the Dolphins

Chief WR Eddie Kennison will miss another game this week nursing a hamstring.

Eagle RB Brian Westbrook has been listed as questionable this week with an abdominal strain and all indications are he will be a game time decision on whether he plays or not

Brown TE Kellen Winslow,JR will give attempt to play today although not completely healed from his partially torn shoulder he suffered a week ago in Oakland.

A Good No Play Today

A good guy to stay away from today is Broncos WR Javon Walker. Even if he plays, which is highly unlikely, he will not be productive. Look for a low scoring day for the Broncos as well.

Week 4 Starting QB For Panthers?

Although it is not for sure, a good bet would be that QB David Carr will be the Panthers starting QB in place of injured QB Jake Delhomme in Week 4.

Vikings Week 4 Starting QB

It is a virtual certainty that QB Kelly Holbomb will be under center for the Vikings in Week 4.

Raiders Starting Week 4 QB

It looks like the Raiders will start QB Daunte Culpepper in Week 4.

Week 4 Walking Wounded

The injury bug is going around the NFL, and it is hitting fantasy rosters extremely hard. Here is an update on some of the injured and their immediate status:

In St. Louis, quarterback Marc Bulger is suffering from 2 broken ribs along with a bruised knee. He played on Sunday, and will again be under center at the Dallas Cowboys this weekend. Running back Steven Jackson won't be. He has a partial tear in his groin that will keep him out this weekend and possibly up to 3-4 weeks.

Pittsburgh wide receiver Hines Ward injured his right knee and is doubtful for Sunday's game at the Cardinals.

Cincinnati Bengals running back Rudi Johnson has a hamstring injury that will most likely keep him out of Monday night's home game against New England.

Houston wideout Jacoby Jones will miss 2-3 weeks with a separated shoulder, while running back Ahman Green is doubtful for this weekend's game at Atlanta with a sprained knee.

Tight end Vernon Davis sprained his right knee and is doubtful for the 49ers home game against Seattle.

Buffalo quarterback J.P. Losman sprained his left knee and will be out 2-3 weeks.

And the big one, New Orleans Saints running back Deuce McAllister tore his ACL and damaged his MCL and is out for the season.

There are others that bear watching, like: Jake Delhomme (elbow), Calvin Johnson (back), Josh McCown (foot), Santana Moss (groin), Anquan Boldin (hip) and Shaun Alexander (hand). EFF will keep you updated on all of these injuries.

Grossman out; Griese in

It was bound to happen. Everyone, it seemed, except for coach Lovie Smith knew it. Rex Grossman can not play quarterback in this league. But for the Bears to have a shot at getting back to the playoffs and for the coach not to lose control of his team, Smith finally has made the switch. Brian Griese will get the start Sunday at Detroit as the Bears try to get back into the divisional race. At 1-2, they trail the 3-0 Green Bay Packers and the 2-1 Lions in the division. Griese isn't the next Tom Brady, but he will play smarter than Grossman, not turn the ball over as much, and give his team a chance.

Late News

New York Giants wide receiver Plaxico Burress is a game time decision with a bad ankle.

New York Jets quarterback Chad Pennington will start against the Dolphins

Minnesota wide receiver Troy Williamson is not expected to play against the Chiefs

Recently signed Washington Redskins wide receiver Reche Caldwell is expected to be active for today's home game against the Giants

EFF Weekly NFL Picks

A strange week 2 could lead into an even stranger week 3 for the Commish
NFL Picks; Week 3

Quick Hits

Saints running back Deuce McAllister (knee, eye) will play Monday night

Brian Westbrook (knee) will play for the Eagles on Sunday against the Lions

Detroit running back will see his first, albeit limited, action of 2007 in Philadelphia

Minnesota quarterback Tavaris Jackson is still nursing a sore groin and is unlikely to play. Although not yet official, Kelly Holcomb will amke his first start for the Vikings

Bears rookie tight end Greg Olson (knee) will see significant playing time on Sunday

Vikings running back Chester Taylor will probably suit up, but see limited action, making his fantasy value next to nothing

Vernand Morency of Green Bay is in the same boat. The Packers running back will see very limited action, making him a non factor against the Chargers. Expect DeShawn Wynn and Brandon Jackson to split the carries again

Bengals wide receiver Tab Perry (hamstring) is out against Seattle

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver D.J. Hackett (high ankle sprain) will not play against the Bengals

Greg Jennings (hamstring) will play but in a limited role on Sunday

Raiders running back LaMont Jordan (back) will play

Player Updates

Pittsburgh Steelers rookie tight end Matt Spaeth will not play against San Francisco because of a quadriceps injury that kept him out of practice all week

Green Bay Packers wide receivers Greg Jennings and James Jones (hamstrings) should both play this weekend. This will be Jennings first action of the year after missing both of the Packers first two game sbecause of the injured hamstring.

New York Jets quarterback Chad Pennington (ankle) and wr Jericho Cotchery (shoulder) are both listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Dolphins. The EFF guess is that they will both play.

Indianapolis Colts tight end Dallas Clark (neck) should play Sunday after working out on Friday.

Philadeplhia Eagles tight end L.J. Smith will be out for the next couple of weeks after undergoing a minor procedure to remove scar tissue from his surgically repaired groin.

Jets QB1 For Week 3

It looks almost certain that QB Chad Pennington will be under center for the Jets in Week 3.

Westbrook Owners Beware

Eagles RB Brian Westbrook has not practiced this week, and if he misses today's practice he might be in danger of being listed as OUT for Week 3. Beware when starting Westbrook.

Raiders Game Time Decision

Raiders RB Lamont Jordan will be a game time decision, so fantasy owners might want to look in another direction for Sunday, although Jordan will almost assuredly play in limited fashion.

Andre Johnson OUT For Week 3

Texan WR Andre Johnson has been downgraded to OUT for this weeks showdown with the Colts. Johnson himself was very pessamistic about his chances as saying that the chances of him seeing action the way he feels was highly unlikely.In his absence Jacoby Jones or Kevin Walter would take his space.

Good Pick Up

If you are looking for a good pick up for the coming weeks, Packers RB DeShawn Wynn would be a good choice. He should be the starting RB by mid season.

Jets Week 3 QB

The Jets will start QB Chad Pennington in Week 3, but he could be given a quick hook. If Pennington is your QB1, your season is lost anyway.

Falcons Ink Leftwich

To confirm what was reported upon earlier the Atlanta Falcons have signed FA QB Byron Leftwich to a 2 year contract. For now Leftwich will be the 3rd string QB behind starter Joey Harrington and backup Chris Redman

Andre Johnson Status

Texans WR Andre Johnson will be doubtful this week. Beware in starting him.

Expect Another Signing In Atlanta

After signing K Morten Andersen, expect the Falcons to sign QB Byron Leftwich later this week. He will be an upgrade over QB Joey Harrington and will probably be starting by Week 8.

Score One For The Old Guys !!

The Falcons have signed 47 year old K Morten Andersen and have waived K Matt Prater.

EFF RB News

Bucs EB Cadillac Williams will be a game time decision today v. the Saints with a rib injury.Expect Michael Pittman to assume a much larger role in the offense

Viking RB Chester Taylor will suit up but the decision will be his on whether to play or not. Taylor is suffering from an oblique injury and has been limited in practice. Adrrian Peterson will again get the start.

Packer RB Verand Morency is out of today's game v. the Giants. Morency is still recovering from a knee injury suffered during pre-season.Brandon Jackson will again be the main option out of the Packer backfield.

Pennington Update

Although no formal decision has been made on Chad Pennington by the team, Pennington himself is casting doubts that he will be able to play this week.Kelly Clemens would be the starter but he would have the daunting task of facing the Ravens "D" in his first career start

Eli Manning Update

Eli Manning has been ruled out of this weeks game but the team is already planning on having him back in the lineup for Week 3. Manning is doing some light throwing today in practice and although there is some minor discomfort the team feels like a week of rest will be all that is needed for his shoulder to heal. backup Jared Lorenzen will assume the QB position for this weeks game v. the Packers.

Bucs Release Boston

The comeback of Bucs WR David Boston came to an abrupt end as the Bucs released him today. Boston who has dealt with substance abuse in the past again may have to answer the charge that he had drugs in his system when he was arrested for a DUI a few weeks ago.If the accusations are true a league suspension will surely follow and with HC Jon Gruden already on the hot seat he felt he needed to separate himself from the problem as quickly as possible

Bad News For Everett

According to his doctor's report, Bills TE Kevin Everett's chances of regaining full body motion are very small.

Seahawks WR News

Seahawks WR DJ Hackett will miss at least a month with a high ankle sprain, and WR Nate Burleson will take over the starting WR job.

Raiders Finally Sign Russell

The Raiders have signed QB JaMarcus Russell to a six year contract.

Kennison Out?

It appears as though WR Eddie Kennison will be out for Week 2 with an injured hamstring.

New QB For Raiders?

The Raiders will probably use QB Daunte Culpepper as their QB1 in Week 2, replacing QB Josh McCown, who has a broken bone in his finger.

Panthers Sign TE

The Panthers have signed TE Christian Fauria.

Chiefs Re-Sign Medlock

Just as fast as he was released, the Chiefs have re-signed K Justin Medlock to their practice squad.

Browns Name QB1

The Browns have named Derek Anderson as the team's QB1, at least until the time that QB Brady Quinn is ready.

New Jets QB?

The Jets will almost assuredly play QB Kellen Clemens for the next two weeks at least as QB1 Chad Pennington recovers from a high ankle sprain.

Redskins Sign Caldwell

As written earlier the Redskins have signed FA WR Reche Caldwell to a 1 year contract.

Jaguars Sign K

The Jaguars have signed FA K John Carney to a contract. Carney will assume the K duties until the time that Josh Scobee is able to return. Earlier reports have Scobee missing 6-8 weeks with a hamsting injury.

Chiefs Release Medlock Sign Rayner

The KC Chiefs have released rookie K Justin Medlock and have signed ex-Packer Dave Rayner.Medlock had a shaky pre-season at best but his shank of a 30 yard FG in Houston while the game was still a game was enough evidence that a change needed to be made

Skins Bring In WR

The Washington Redskins have brought in former Patriot Reche Caldwell for a visit.Caldwell was a victim of the numbers crunch at WR in New England but he did lead the Patriots WR's in receiving yardage in '06.

Frye Dealt To Seattle

Indeed Charlie Frye of the Browns has been traded to the Seattle Seahawks for an undisclosed draft pick putting an end to all the speculations of his future the last couple of days. Frye will serve as a backup to Matt Hasselback and allow the team to utilize Seneca Wallace as an offensive weapon.

Frye Remains In Cleveland....Barely

Charlie Frye is still a Brown...for now. The Browns Flagship station,WTAM, has corrected it's earlier release that Frye has been traded to the team is actively pursuing a trade of Frye. If Frye and the Browns cannot find a trade Frye will be released from the team to make room for Ken Dorsey.Frye is on the books for $435,00 this season and is signed through '08 but because he is not a vested veteran the Browns can release him outright and not be on the hook for the remainder of his '07 salary.
Frye came to the Browns as a 3rd round pick in'05 out of Toledo came in with the hype of a solid and confident QB not prone to mistakes. Frye has seen that promise shattered rather quickly as he was pulled prior to halftime on Sunday as the team struggled to get anything done offensively v. the Steelers.

Browns QB Update

In a whirlwind of activity in the Cleveland area after their embarrassing loss to the Steelers, the Brown's flagship station,WTAM, is reporting that Charlie Frye has been traded to an unidentified team.This trade frees up a roster spot for recently released and just re-signed QB Ken Dorsey who had been working as a mentor with QB Brady Quinn throughout training camp.The Brown coaching staff is still tight lipped about who will start for them in week 3 but the Quinn era will obviously be starting sooner rather than later.

NFL News And Notes

With K Josh Scobee out 6-8 weeks with a hamstring injury the Jaguars will be bringing in a slew of K's for a tryout . Included in the bunch are Nick Novak,Mike Vanderjadt,John Carney,Billy Cundiff and John Huston

Chief WR Eddie Kennison will miss Week @ v. the Bears. Rookie Dwayne Bowe will start in his place.

Seahawk WR DJ Hackett will be out a minimum of 4 weeks with a high ankle sprain.

Raven QB Steve McNair left their Monday Night game with a groin injury and was replaced by Kyle Boller. His status for week 2 is unknown.

Still unsigned overall #1 pick JaMarcus Russell has agreed to a deal with the Raiders and is expected at practice on Wednesday.

Cadillac Williams status for week 2 is questionable after he suffered bruised ribs v. Seattle.

X-Ray results on Chad Pennington's injured ankle are still not known but it was clear that Pennington was in obvious pain. If Pennington is unable to go Kelly Clemons will start in his place.

Josh McNown played well enough for the Raiders on Sunday(30-40-313-2TD's) that he will again be the raiders starter in week 2.

With Cleveland's poor performance on Sunday their are already calls for a switch to Brady Quinn. In an interesting move the Browns re-signed Ken Dorsey who was serving as Quinns' unofficial QB coach and who Quinn had a good rapport with. This may signal an end to either Charlie Frye or Derek Anderson sooner rather than later as well as the Quinn era to start possibly this week.

Eli out up to 4 weeks

According to ESPN's Chris Mortensen, N.Y. Giants quarterback Eli Manning suffered a separated shoulder in last night's game with the Dallas Cowboys, and will miss at least the next 4 weeks. The Giants say it is only a "contusion" and could play this Sunday, but Mortensen is sticking by his story and sources. If Manning is out four a month, look for the Giants to go after free agent Byron Leftwich or resign Tim Hasselbeck.

Jacob To Miss Time

Giant RB Brandon Jacobs will miss 3-5 weeks with a sprained MCL in his knee.

Keep Smith Out

It would be wise to keep TE LJ Smith out of your fasntasy lineup for Week 1, as he was downgraded to questionable today.

Terry Glenn Update

Cowboy WR Terry Glenn is weighing 2 options on his injured knee.The first is to have season ending surgery,re-hab and be ready for next season and the second is an athroscopic procedure and hopefully be ready in a couple of weeks. The team has already released a statement that Glenn will miss at least the first two games of the season so our best guess is Glenn being ready to play in Week4 or 5. Recently released Patriot WR Reche Caldwell has been in contact with the Cowboys and may be brought in for a look.

Glenn Owners Beware

Cowboy WR Terry Glenn will not play in Week 1 v. the Giants with a knee injury. There have been varying reports about the severity of the injury with some saying Glenn is out for the year.Either way this sounds like it could be a debilitating injury that could limit Glenns' effectiveness for the entire season.

Warrick Dunn will be the starting RB for the Falcons in Week 1

Dolphins RB1

The Dolphins have named RB Ronnie Brown as the team's RB1.

Different Team Same Story For Jackson

49er WR Darrell Jackson is already nursing a hamstring injury that he suffered in a week 3 pre-season game. This is a familiar story for Jackson who seemed to always have a hamstring problem during last season with the Seahawks. Jackson will attempt to practice at full speed on Thursday and a decision on him will be made at that point. It is believed that Jackson will be in the lineup on Monday night but this is also an injury that will follow Jackson throughout the season.

Niners WR3 and WR4

The 49ers plan on using WR Ashlie Lelie at WR3 and Taylor Jacobs at WR4 for at east Week 1.

Bell Worth A Late Look

Although Broncos RB Mike Bell is not getting favorable press this year, it is still worth a shot to grab him in the late rounds because he'll probably get plenty of touches, especially at the goal line this year.

Raiders News (QB, TE, D/ST)

The Raiders have named speedster rookie WR Johnnie Lee Higgins as their punt returner. Its worth notching the Raiders up a notch or two on your cheat sheet.

The Raiders have named Daunte Culpepper and Zach Miller as their starting QB and TE, respectively.

Jaguars/Seahawks Make Trade

Moss Makes The Team

Contrary to priot reports, and staying true to our guts, the Patriots did not cur WR Randy Moss.

EFF Breaking News - Jaguars Release QB

In a report by EFF earlier today, the Jaguars have indeed released QB Byron Leftwich. He will undoubtedly catch on elsewhere, as he is a solid QB.

Packers Cut K

The Packers have cut K Dave Rayner, leaving PK Mason Crosby as the team's placekicker for the immediate future.

A Possible BIG Cut For Patriots

Reports are floating around the internet that Patriots WR Randy Moss will be cut. There are reports that there is a big name on the Patriots cut list, but the undisclosed Patriots source would not name the player. We here at EFF remain skeptical that Moss is the player named on the cut list.

Vikings Cut Loose RB

The Vikings have released RB Ciatrick Fason. He should find a job with another running back starved team.

Key Releases By Texans

The Texans have released RBs Darius Walker and Wali Lundi, as well as QB Jared Zabransky. Lundy might catch on with another team. It looks like RB Sam Gado has won the RB3 job for the Texans.

RB1 For Titans

The inside track for the starter's job for the Titans looks to be RB LenDale White's to lose.

RB3 For Jets

It appears as though RB Danny Ware has won the RB3 job for the Jets, running behind RBs Thomas Jones and Leon Washington.

Another Bengal K Injured

Newly signed Bengal K Aaron Elling suffered a torn knee ligament leaving the team in desperate need for another K. Shayne Graham is still dealing with a hip pointer and his availability for opening week is still unclear. With rosters needing to be down to 53 in the coming days expect to see the Bengal searching out a K that has been released for another team.
