Week 10 fantasy football
Weekend injury update
Saturday, Nov. 4, 2000
|
| As indicated in Friday's "Late-week
fantasy tips" on this site, Saints WRs Joe Horn and Keith
Poole will start Sunday despite being listed as questionable during the week. The
same goes for Titans RB Eddie George, who continues to play despite a knee injury.
George's teammate, QB Steve McNair, also will start despite a back
injury. However, Titans WR Yancey Thigpen, who has been on the injury
list much of the season, will sit out Sunday's game. 
Raiders RBs Tyrone Wheatley and Jon Ritchie both
participated in Friday's practice. So, Wheatley may play a bigger role in the offense than
was anticipated earlier in the week.
Rams RB Marshall Faulk continues to play despite knee and shoulder
problems, but he will have a different fullback blocking for him Sunday, as James
Hodgins replaces Robert Holcombe, who has a hamstring injury.
Bert Emanuel practiced Friday despite his wrist injury and might see
some action Sunday for the Dolphins' injury-depleted WR corps.
With Packers RB Dorsey Levens missing practice Friday for the third
straight day with a bruised right kneecap, his coaches weren't optimistic that he would be
able to play Monday night against Minnesota. Ahman Green will likely
start in Levens' place, and recently activated De'Mond Parker may have to
be the backup.
On top of the season-ending injury to TE Wesley Walls
and a shoulder injury that has backup TE Kris Mangum doubtful for
Sunday's game at St. Louis, Carolina's offensive line also has been shaken up, which could
have ramifications on the entire Panthers offense. Starting OLT Clarence Jones
will miss the game with a knee injury and is being replaced by rookie Jeno Jones because
backup OLT Matt Campbell has had to move to left guard to fill in for the
injured Bryan Stoltenberg (knee).
Seahawks RB Ricky Watters practiced Friday
with his turf-toe injury and appears likely to play Sunday against San Diego. For the
Chargers, Moses Moreno will back up Jim Harbaugh at
quarterback because Ryan Leaf's wrist injury hasn't improved.
Browns WR Darren Chiaverini will miss
Sunday's game with a knee injury.
Jets TE Anthony Becht, who had been listed
as doubtful earlier in the week with a knee injury, practiced Friday and likely will play
Sunday. |
