Sunday 2-minute drill

A few news and notes as you finalize your rosters...

By now you know LT is out. Sproles is in. Start him. Yep, even against Baltimore.

San Diego Defensive Tackle Jamal Williams is out for the season. Shawne Merriman is not 100 percent. Fantasy value for Ravens' Ray Rice & co. increases this week.

Washington CB Fred Smoot was downgraded to questionable. Good for Rams WR Donnie Avery. Redskins defense still a tough matchup for the sad Rams.

New England CB Terrence Wheatley was downgraded to "no chance in playing." Jets WRs like that.

Tampa Bay WR Antonio Bryant is out. Michael Clayton will get more looks. Only 3 percent owned in Yahoo leagues. If you start three wide receivers, not a bad third option.

Philly tight end Brent Celek is a good pickup. A TE is an inexperienced quarterback’s best friend.

Chris Henry is another decent pickup. He only played in about a third of the Bengals' plays last week because he was nursing an injury. He should get more playing time and more looks against Green Bay

Looking ahead...

Larry Johnson's future as starting RB for Kansas City could rely on Oakland's ability to stop him. Another poor performance could give Jamaal Charles a promotion to lead RB.

Willie Parker should have the same incentive as Johnson. A continued lackluster performance means more time for Rashard Mendenhall and Mewelde Moore. Mendenhall didn't look much better than Parker last week either.
