Derek Anderson Done

Browns QB Derek Anderson is pretty much done for the season after spraining his MCL this week. QB Ken Dorsey will probably handle things the rest of the way, so load up on Defenses that face the Browns the rest of the way.

Burress

After shooting himself in a nightclub on Friday, it is almost a given that Giants WR Plaxico Burress' season is over. It is almost certain that Burress, who is due a 1 million dollar bonus, will never again suit up for the Giants. He is trouble, but also is a talent, and he will for sure catch on somewhere.

EFF News And Notes

-Giant WR Plaxico Burress will miss this weeks showdown with the Redskins after "accidentally" shooting himself in the leg with a loaded gun he was carrying. While his condition is still unknown the troubles with Burress continue to mount for the Giants after the team rewarded him with a huge contract after the Superbowl.

-Proceed with caution this week in deciding whether or not to use Texan QB Sage Rosenfels. Matt Schaub returned to practice late in the week and is an outside chance of seeing playing time on Monday.

-With Patriot OC Josh McDaniels once again re-surfacing himself as the next name on many teams shortlist as a head coach could Charlie Weis who is in trouble at Notre Dame return to Foxboro?

-With RB Ahman Green on the D/L and lost for the season the Texans would like to keep RB Steve Slaton on the field for 40-50 offensive snaps.

-Barring any unforseen injuries or late season heroics Viking RB Adrian Peterson has surpassed Ladainian Tomlinson as the clear cut number 1 selection on fantasy boards.

NFL News And Notes

-After numerous visits as well as speculation the Lions finally made it official and inked FA QB Daunte Culpepper to a 2 year deal. The problem is that this may never come to pass with the situation as it is in Detroit. HC Rod Marinelli is almost certain not to survive after this season and with a new front office to be put in place the team may decide to clean house yet again with another youth movement. Culpepper wanted to go to a place where the opportunity to play is now but Detroit's coaching and front office situation may not allow that to happen.

- The Raven must be sold on Joe Flacco as their QB. The team released backup Todd Bouman which leaves only Troy Smith as the other QB on the roster.

-Steeler Rb Willie Parker is on target to play MNF v. the Redskins but will do so on a limited basis. Mewelde Moore should continue to get the majority of the carries.

-With the Patriot RB situation seemingly all on the sidelines due to injury, BenJarvus Green-Ellis and Kevin Faulk will split carries again this week for the Patriots. The good news is that they face a Colts team that was manhandled by the Titan running game last week and are now ranked 26th in the NFL against the run.

-Bucs RB Warrick Dunn will be inactive this weekagainst the Chiefs due to a pinched nerve in his neck

- Ram RB Steven Jackson fully expects to play this week v. the Cardinals and said so on his Web Blog. Wheteher or not HC Jim Haslett read it or not seem to be in question as the team still lists him as questionable on their injury report.This is sure to be one opf the higher scoring games in the league this week so a healthy Jackson should have his way with the Cardinal "D". Somehow in Week 8 this game is a huge game for both teams in a division that is the weakest in the league. If the Rams do win this one it tightens the division up and puts in place a potential division winner with an 8-8 record.
