As we get deeper into the fantasy football season, every game starts to mean more for the playoffs. Hopefully, your fantasy team isn't relegated to the bottom of the barrel and you are in the mix for a championship run.
This week we have our weekly section on wounded warriors, as well as our top rankings for top position players. We have the top 16 ranked quarterbacks, tight ends, kickers and defense/special teams ranked. We also have the top 31 running backs and top 35 wide receivers as well.
Wounded Warriors
Running Backs
Eagles - Brian Westbrook - This past week Brian Westbrook missed the game against the Cowboys because he had a headache on Friday. If Westbrook continues to show effects from his recent concussion than the team will probably hold him out again.
Unfortunately, the Eagles won't be playing an early game this week as they go to the Chargers. Hopefully, we will find out his status before Sunday's game.
Redskins - Clinton Portis - Last week Clinton Portis left the game early with a concussion, and he is considered doubtful to play this coming week. Look for Ladell Betts to get the start in Portis's absence.
Raiders - Darren McFadden - The Raiders got their top running back Darren McFadden back at practice. It looks like McFadden will be a go this weekend against the Chiefs.
This is one of the few teams McFadden has had strong success against so if he plays, he might be a sneaky fantasy play.
Wide Receivers
Lions - Calvin Johnson - The Lions finally got their talented star receiver back on the field against the Seahawks but he only produced two receptions for 27 yards. It will probably take Johnson a couple of weeks to round back into shape so don't be surprised he is doesn't play up to his usual standers.
Bengals - Chris Henry - Cincinnati lost one of their receivers this week when Chris Henry broke his arm. Henry is likely done for the season and this won't help Carson Palmer's fantasy football value.
Palmer is having a good year for his team but isn't having a great fantasy season. The team is leaning more on running back Cedric Benson and their defense to win football games.
Look for Caldwell to receive more looks in the passing game with Henry's absence.
