Week 3 Fantasy Football Start Em Sit Em: 5 Crucial Injury Updates Before Sunday

The first and last thing you should do before setting your final fantasy roster is to check the injury reports. Here is the low down on the biggest hitters in the league. 

The easiest way to get blown out on Sunday is to go in with a fantasy star that is obviously hurt, only to garner you zero points. 

Then you have your buddy scoffing at you for the rest of the week, and nobody wants that. So make sure you are prepared before you hit the submit button. The worst feeling in the world is waking up to find out your sure-fire stud is grabbing pine. 

1. Arian Foster: ESPN's John Clayton tweeted this update on the Texans famed running back. 

The fact remains, Foster may very well suit up, but he will not be giving you the carries you hope for. Sit him and go another route. 

2. Percy Harvin: You knew what you were getting into when you drafted Percy Harvin. Every weekend is going to be a roller coaster with this guy. He missed practice this week, but we are finding out it was nothing serious and he should be ready to go. 

3. Mario Manningham: Not that he was lighting up the fantasy record books, but Mario Manningham will most likely be sidelined this weekend. You should have been looking for a replacement anyway. 

4. Michael Vick: ESPN's Adam Schefter tweets that Vick has been cleared to play. I would temper the excitement with a lot of caution. 

Vick will be monitored very closely, that is if he actually starts the game. 

5. Sidney Rice: It is looking more and more likely that Sidney Rice will suit up against a porous Cardinals defense. Even a hobbled Rice should give the Seahawks a spark on the wings.
