Fantasy Football: Talkin' About Practice, Week Nine Edition

It’s looking like Anquan Boldin will finally be forced to sit out because of his ankle injury.  It’s not healing properly because he keeps tweaking it.  They’ll need him at full strength if they’re going to make another run at the division and beyond.  Steve Breaston will get the start, and makes a great play this weekend.

Jake Delhomme (chest) has been able to practice, but I wouldn’t even use him in two-QB leagues at this point.  If he struggles, it will be Matt Moore time.  He is also a risk to aggravate his injury.  Oh yeah, and he must be color blind because he can’t figure out which team to throw the ball to.

Calvin Johnson (knee) was able to return to practice for the Lions, which is a good indication that he’ll be ready to return to the field finally.  Detroit desperately needs him in their lineup.  If he can go, he makes for a great play against Seattle.

Brian Westbrook (concussion) got medical clearance to play this weekend against Dallas.  He’ll probably be in a reduced role because LeSean McCoy has played so well.  Westy isn’t a must-start at this point, but he should be a solid option as long as he’s given the green light by the Eagles’ coaching staff.  McCoy has the flu, which could cause the Eagles to lean on Westy a bit more.  Monitor this situation.

Limited (No Worries)
Steve Breaston (knee)
Donald Driver (neck)

Todd Heap (ankle)
Devin Hester (ankle)
Greg Olsen (ankle)

Limited (Don’t Use)
Lance Moore (ankle)—Not because he’s hurting, but because he’s been bad this year.
Muhsin Muhammad—Even if he plays, he shouldn’t be in your lineup.
