Sunday 2-minute drill

A few news and notes as you finalize your lineups:

Probable – Brett Favre, Aaron Rodgers, Maurice Jones-Drew, LaDainian Tominson, Marion Barber, DeSean Jackson, Antonio Gates, Calvin Johnson, Brian Westbrook, Brandon Marshall, Marques Colston, Bernard Berrian, Anquan Boldin, Steve Breaston, Todd Heap, Matt Hasselbeck, Matthew Stafford, Trent Edwards

Questionable – DeAngelo Williams, Ladell Betts, Terrell Owens, Lance Moore, Jermichael Finley, Jamal Lewis, Derrick Ward, Laurence Maroney, Anthony Fasano, Julian Edelman

Out – Clinton Portis, Anthony Gonzalez, Antonio Bryant


Week 10 pickups

Ladell Betts – While listed as questionable, he was slated to fill in for Clinton Portis, who is out with a concussion. While the matchup against Denver may not sound good, the Broncos have softened lately, yielding 324 rushing yards in the last two weeks. Check Betts’s status before game time. He’s a great pickup…if he plays.

Jamaal Charles – Charles has to be the most mentioned player in my blog. Yet, he’s also the most underperforming (ok, Marc Bulger and Derek Anderson edge him out). But it’s because he never touches the ball. With Larry Johnson finally gone, there is no possible way the Chiefs can play Johnson, right? If you’re waiting for Todd Haley to botch this, I am too. Still, I recommend Charles. Again.

Josh Freeman – Freeman performed respectably against Green Bay – 205 yards, three touchdowns and one interception. I must admit the Miami matchup makes me a little nervous. Consider Freeman a good start for deep league formats.

Jonathan Sanchez – The Jets quarterback plays Jacksonville at home. Sanchez has put up great fantasy numbers lately. While the Jets will likely run the ball a lot today, Sanchez could produce if he doesn’t try to do too much.

Robert Meachem – Meachem looked really good last week with 98 yards on 5 catches. Good matchup vs. Rams this week.

Mike Wallace – Three touchdowns in four games.

Steve Smith – Of course, the Carolina Steve Smith. New York is on a bye. Falcons are weak against the pass. Use him in deep leagues.

49ers defense – Ok, too late. But don’t you wish you had them Thursday? I am closing my eyes as I type this, but check out Kansas City. They play Oakland.
