Out – Kevin Smith, Jamal Lewis, Clinton Portis, Steve Slaton, Jake Delhomme

Other notes

Game time changes – The 49ers-Eagles and Bears-Ravens games have been moved to 4:15 EST due to the snowstorms in the northeast.

Atlanta running backs – If possible, avoid starting anyone from this quandary of backs.

Justin Forsett – Seattle coach Jim Mora contends Forsett will get more playing time, which would mark the first time Forsett would get the nod over Julius Jones, without an injury prompting the call. The Seahawks face a weakened run Bucs defense. Things look good for Forsett today.

Steve Fitzgerald – While expected to play, check this out as kickoff approaches. Take a look at Steve Breaston if Fitzgerald sits.

Kellen Winslow – While Winslow practiced on Thursday, he did not participate Friday. Setback, perhaps? No word yet from Bucs’ camp, but check his status later this morning.

Steven Jackson – A possible swine flu illness could keep the only bright spot on the Rams out of today’s lineup.

Brandon Jacobs – Good news for Jacobs owners if Bradshaw is inactive.

Fred Jackson – The Buffalo RB burned New England in their last contest. Look for the Patriots D to mend those holes, and limit Jackson’s production. And why not, when they have Ryan Fitzgerald as plan B. Jackson should fare ok, but not a fantasy gem this week.

Knowshon Moreno – An injured Buckhalter positions Moreno as the lone back. Pitted against a soft Raiders D this week.

LaDainian Tomlinson – Despite failing to hit the century mark this season, LT is making an impact by finding the end zone. Especially lately. In the past five games, he’s found pay dirt seven times. Expect another score today.

Minnesota defense – With the Vikings possibly missing some key offensive weapons today, how will this affect their ability to defend against the Panthers potent run game? If the offense is on the field less, and possibly giving up a stronger field position to Carolina, it could prove that a good defense starts with a good offense.

Tim Hightower – I love the Lions matchup, but Hightower has only one working thumb right now. And let’s not forget his fumbling issues. Seems like a bad combination, and possibly a cause-and-effect relationship. Either way, if I’m coach, I’m choosing a running back with all phalanges in check.

Chris Johnson, Ray Rice, Adrian Peterson, Thomas Jones and Ricky Williams – Be thankful if you don’t play against them this week.
