A few news and notes as you finalize your lineups:
Probable – Andre Johnson, DeSean Jackson, Aaron Rodgers, Ahmad Bradshaw, Steve Breaston, Donnie Avery.
Questionable – Brian Westbrook, Calivn Johnson, Matthew Stafford, Anquan Boldin, Mario Manningham, Jerricho Cotchery, Percy Harvin, Bernard Berrian, Jonathan Stewart.
Out – Darren McFadden, Anthony Gonzalez, Trent Edwards, Dante Rosario, Muhsin Muhammad.
Last-second sleeper pickups
Chad Simpson – With Donald Brown sidelined by an ailing shoulder, Simpson is promoted to back-up. He’s expected to get 8-10 carries, possibly more if the Colts roast the Seahawks.
Danny Amendola – Amendola's value increases with Donnie Avery out. Almendola led the Rams in receptions last week with five. He’s owned in only 1 percent of fantasy leagues.
Other Notes
Tashard Choice - Jerry Jones said something stupid again. I really don’t mind, unless it affects my fantasy team. Choice did not get more carries like he assured us last week. In fact he didn’t get any. Thanks, Jer. Next time, please tweet me that insider info.
Seattle Seahawks – The Seahawks offensive line is still hurt. Starters Walter Jones and Sean Locklear are likely to miss. Bad news if you own Matt Hasselbeck or Nate Burleson.
Andre Johnson – Andre's not going to let a little bloody lung hold him back.
Ahmad Bradshaw – Bradshaw has a bunch of loose bones in his foot. He might still play.
Steve Smith – Still scoreless through week 7. Carolina fans want a quarterback change.
Kyle Orton- The Denver QB has only one interception through week 7. His o-line has given him great protection, but can that hold against Baltimore this week? I’m a little nervous that he faces an angry Ravens team on a three-game losing streak. Can you believe they are tied with the Bills in wins (3)?
Miles Austin – Austin has saved Tony Romo from ridicule as he can catch anything he throws. He’s a must-start this week, and likely every week. Fantasy owners love Austin's very favorable schedule down the stretch.
Sidney Rice – Brett Favre’s favorite target should get even more looks this week with an ailing Percy Harvin and Bernard Berrian. Could the drama of Favre’s return to Lambeau Field help the Packers, and more importantly, their fantasy potential? Absolutely.
Ray Rice – Despite the Broncos tenacious run defense, running backs have found success catching out of the backfield. Denver has allowed the fourth most receptions to RBs. This serves fantasy owners very well, especially if you’re in a PPR league.
Hakeem Nicks – Nicks has been inconsistent, and some of his catches are flukes. Of course, this still earns you points. But I don’t know if you can count on that "oops catch" every week. Plus, I’ve lost a little confidence in the Giants passing game lately.
Jeremy Maclin – The Eagles wideout has been underwhelming lately. While he’s getting more playing time, he’s not producing. DeSean Jackson is the go-to guy in Philly. Well, he and Cliff Lee.
Vince Young – Longhorn fans, don’t do it. Resist the urge to start him.
Brandon Jacobs – Two touchdowns! It’s week 8!
LaDainian Tomlinson – LT didn’t look so good getting stuffed on the goal-line carries, but he looked better than Sproles getting stuffed.
Greg Jennings – Jennings hasn't caught a touchdown since week 1.
Maurice Jones-Drew – Seven touchdowns in four games. Nice matchup vs. the Titans today. They're all good matchups for MJD.

Turf Pups
I'd had a few questions about the dogs' Halloween costumes. Thank you, I thought you'd never ask! They actually had two outfits: ballernias during the day and Turf Pups (to match their mom) at night. Look how annoyed they are.
