NFL Week 7: Early Game Actives/Inactives

Active

Vince Young - Young is active, but reportedly won't start. He's not worth using to find out.

Kurt Warner - He's active, and despite early reports, he will start. He's a very risky start at QB with a tough matchup against the very good Redskins secondary.

Laurence Maroney - Maroney will start and is an excellent play against the Dolphins. Sammy Morris is out, so while Maroney appears to be the favorite for goal line carries, there's an outside chance the Patriots could use Heath Evans in that role. He's well worth starting to find out.

Brandon Jacobs - Jacobs is active, will probably start, and will hopefully receive goal line carries (Droughns vultured one last week while Jacobs was dealing with various injuries). He's a bit risky, but unless you have another sure-fire starting RB, I'd use him.

Plaxico Burress - Burress' pattern of not practicing all week and then playing on Sunday stays in tact. He's a WR1.

Anquan Boldin - Boldin is back on the field and is worth using, but temper your expectations with Rattay starting against a tough Redskins pass D.

Santana Moss - Moss was listed as probably, so this isn't a surprise. I expect him to rebound from last week's dismal performance.

Inactive

Chris Brown - LenDale White becomes a solid RB2 play with Brown out.

Andre Johnson - Johnson is out again. Kevin Walter and Andre Davis are borderline WR3 options this week.

Alge Crumpler - 2007 is turning into a lost year for Crumpler who is now too banged up to play.
