Sunday 2-minute drill

First, my apologies for overlooking the powerhouse Oakland Raiders. Not sure what I was thinking when I tagged Brent Celek as a must-start. Like the Eagles, we must move on to this week’s contest. Here’s the latest injury report:

Probable – Anquan Boldin, Steve Breaston, Marin Barber, Felix Jones, Adrian Peterson, Eli Manning, Mario Manningham, Chad Ochocinco, Clinton Portis, Rashard Mendenhall, Michael Turner, Aaron Rodgers, Greg Jennings, Braylon Edwards, Jeremy Shockey, Donnie Avery

Questionable – Percy Harvin, Jonathan Stewart, Joshua Cribbs

Out – Jerricho Cotchery, Sammy Morris, Darren McFadden, Fred Taylor, Julian Edelman, Anthony Gonzalez


Last-minute pickups

Laurence Maroney – With Sammy Morris injured, Maroney becomes the lead back. He’s an average running back, but great for a fill-in role. Don’t get too attached.

Justin Fargas – Was it a fluke? Probably. But that fluke could earn him a bigger share of the carries. And if you’re short a running back, he’ll at least get you some yards. Perhaps 7-10 points.

Chad Henne – I’ll admit the matchup doesn’t look good at first glance, facing New Orleans. But Henne is smart and conservative. You don’t need him to do a lot. Two touchdowns would be just fine from your reserve. And consider this – he’s likely to be playing from behind.

Heath Miller – The Vikings allow the most PPG to opposing tight ends, so if Miller’s on your team, he should be in the lineup.

Sean Ryan – Tight ends continue to find success against San Diego. The Chiefs TE is not a bad pickup.

Mewelde Moore –Another sleeper. If the Vikings do well against the rush, they could put Moore in. He's really good on the short passes.

Austin Collie – The rookie wide receiver has surpassed Pierre Garcon as the WR2, despite Garcon's early production. Anthony Gonzalez did not practice all week and likely not to return for a few weeks. Still available in 60-70 percent of leagues.

Miles Austin- His monster performance in week 5 (250 yards and 2 TDs) plus Roy Williams's continued struggles make him a nice pickup. Don't expect 250 yards again, but you'll settle for 100, right?

Andre Caldwell – For deep leagues or depleted teams, take a look at Caldwell. I’m not expecting big things from him, but he could get you 5-6 points, or even more if the Bears double team Chad Ochocinco


Other notes

Michael Crabtree – Newspaper reports indicate there’s a “strong possibility” the rookie holdout will start today against the Texans. Some of you have e-mailed with one burning question – sit or start ‘em? As with every lineup decision, it depends on the rest of your squad. If you have consistent performers at WR, who are in fact playing today, I wouldn’t chance it. Stick with them. If you’re considering starting any Rams or Raiders at WR, I would choose Crabtree.

Felix Jones – It’s hard to know how much to expect. Coach Wade Phillips says he’s at full speed and ready for today’s game. But how much playing time? Who knows. Start him with caution.

Owen Daniels – San Francisco has yet to give up a TD to a tight end. It’s a little misleading as their pass defense has been so bad that quarterbacks go deep (why look for a 7-yard pass, when you can throw it 20?). Does that mean you bench Daniels? Not many of us carry back-up tight ends, and it’s not likely there are better picks on your waiver wire.

Andre Johnson vs. Nate Clements – Don’t worry fantasy owners. Look what Roddy White did vs. San Francisco: 210 yards and 2 TDs.

Bears air attack – Cincinnati’s DT Antwan Odom is out for the season, which should give Jay Cutler time to find his targets.

Cowboys air attack - Good news for those who own Tony Romo or any Cowboys receivers. Atlanta CB Brian Williams is out.

Ochocinco has announced a new network – OCNN, the Ochocinco News Network to communicate breaking news on Twitter. He tweeted Saturday, “Who needs CNN when you have OCNN, or The Ochocinco News Network?” Not sure how different it is than now. Maybe less posts about McDonalds and more about the NFL. Whatever this is, I like it.
