I was a slacker last week so I felt I needed to get a jump on things. So, without any further ado, fantasy football players let's get started.
San Diego RB Danny Woodhead is done for 2014 after breaking his fibula (leg) yesterday against the Bills. What that means is you will have to find a new flex player in deep leagues. What that means is Donald Brown is available in many leagues as he fills in for Ryan Matthews who is out with a high ankle sprain. It also means 4th stringer Branden Oliver, the rookie out of Buffalo, will get snaps going forward.
The Steelers defense took some hits in their win over Carolina last night. LB Ryan Shazier sprained his MCL which will probably mean he's out 4-6 weeks while it heals. They also lost Jarvis Jones to a wrist needing surgery to repair. The Steelers also lost Ike Taylor to a broken arm last week. Jones was placed on the Injured Reserve/Designated for Return list today. That is at least 6 weeks.
Carolina is hoping DeAngelo Williams is able to come back from his hamstring injury because the Panthers lost Mike Tolbert for the forseeable future with a hairline crack in his right leg. Jonathan Stewart is going to be held out of practice on Wednesday and Thursday and will be reevaluated Friday after he suffered a severely sprained knee. Carolina's O-line hasn't exactly been opening a lot of holes so far as Carolina is the 29th rushing team in the NFL gaining a skosh over 72 YPG. The Panthers may have to rest their running game on 2nd year player Fozzy Whitaker and Alabama-Birmingham rookie Darren Reaves.
Arian Foster is listed as day to day with his hamstring. Alfred Blue came out in his first NFL start and did a decent job gaining 78 yards on 13 carries (6.0 YPC). Alfred Blue will be a big pickup in fantasy leagues this week.
The Ravens Dennis Pitta is done for the season needing surgery to repair a dislocated hip.
Vikings TE Kyle Rudolph will miss at least six weeks due to a sports hernia he will have surgery to repair.
The Redskins have lost two players on their defense for the season. DB DeAngelo Hall has a torn Achillies and S Duke Ihenacho will miss because of a fractured heel.
Tampa Bay WR Vincent Jackson suffered a break to a small bone in his wrist. He is not expected to miss any time. The Bucs also reported that RB Doug Martin and DT Gerald McCoy both returned to practice today.
It looks like the NFL will have activate Hawkeye and Trapper John and the rest of the M*A*S*H* unit ASAP!
