Fantasy Football Injuries of Note for Week 12
Nov. 22, 2008
Do you have a bunch of red X’s on your roster as you try and make that push to the fantasy football playoffs? There are a significant number of fantasy football injuries of note this week, especially at the Running Back position.
Let’s have a look at who should be a go and who you need to keep an eye on…
Quarterback
Matt Hasselbeck, Seahawks: Hass is back in practice but faces a pretty tough Redskins squad this week. Man, those Seahawks have really fallen from fantasy relevance haven’t they?
JaMarcus Russell, Raiders: Russell is expected to start against the Broncos despite his knee. He is listed a probable and you will probably lose if you have to start him this week. If you are and somehow in your playoff hunt, kudos to you!
Running Back
Brian Westbrook, Eagles: Not looking good for Westy owners in the playoff hunt. Missing practice yesterday made for three Westy-less days at practice this week in a row. He is listed as questionable and at this moment you should be looking for another body for that starting spot.
Steven Jackson, Rams: Jackson is officially out for another week. There seems to be words going back and forth between Jackson and Coach for Now Haslett. Hopefully Jackson can get back for the fantasy football playoffs.
Brandon Jacobs, Giants: Jacobs is listed as probable and will likely be going so should be in your lineup against the Cardinals. He is quietly one fo the top RB’s this season.
Clinton Portis, Redskins: Portis is listed as questionable. If you own him you may notice he played last week when all signs were pointing the other way. Keep an eye on him to see which way Zorn leans.
Reggie Bush, Deuce McAllister, Saints: Bush is a game time decision while McAllister is probable. It appears that the safest bet this week (if there ever are any) would be with Pierre Thomas in New Orleans.
Steve Slaton, Texans: Slaton is being held back a bit in practices but should be all systems go against the Browns this weekend.
LenDale White, Titans: White should be in this week against the Jets despite his injured calf. Not the best start though, may want to look elsewhere if you can.
