Week 11 Injury/Depth Chart Report

Arizona Cardinals - None.

Atlanta Falcons - Michael Turner will miss week 11, and Jason Snelling will start in his place.  Snelling makes for a solid RB2 this week as he'll handle the majority of the carries, plus the goal line work.  Norwood might return, but he'll have a minimal role.

Baltimore Ravens - None.

Buffalo Bills - Ryan Fitzpatrick will return as the starting quarterback this week, so who knows what that will mean.  Evans remains a decent WR3, while Owens is a risky one.  The backfield continues to be a mess, and Buffalo simply doesn't run or score enough for either of them to be exciting RB2 options.

Carolina Panthers - None.

Cincinnati Bengals - Cedric Benson will likely sit out in week 11, and Bernard Scott will start in his place.  He's likely to get most of the carries, but Brian Leonard will likely see most 3rd down work.  As far as the goal line is considered, it's hard to tell since Leonard is a much bigger back.  Scott is a bit risky, but his match up against Oakland is excellent.

Chicago Bears - None.

Cleveland Browns - Fantasy wasteland.

Dallas Cowboys - There's been news all week about Dallas wanting to get Felix Jones more involved until his next injury.  I expect the Cowboys to run the ball more this week after their pass-heavy attack last week was a disaster, so Marion Barber should benefit the most, but Jones will get some work in.  Barber is worth starting, but Jones is high risk thanks to an uncertain workload.

Denver Broncos - Kyle Orton will be a game time decision, but he's not worth starting anyways.  Marshall should be in all lineups thanks to his potential, but if Chris Simms starts, it obviously hurts his upside given how horrible Simms looked last week.  It's not to say that a more prepared Simms won't be more effective this week, but just keep in mind how he looked last week.

Detroit Lions - Stafford continues to be hobbled by his injury a bit, but you're probably not starting him anyways if you're trying to win.

Green Bay Packers - It wouldn't surprise me if Greg Jennings has been battling some sort of injury for the majority of the year.  He has been dreadful for the most part, especially considering how good Rodgers has been despite the poor protection.  The protection problems can partly explain why Jennings isn't hitting big plays, but he just hasn't looked right.

Houston Texans - The backfield is anyone's guess, but Slaton is a reasonable/risky RB2 while Moats is not worth starting.  James Casey will take the majority of TE snaps with Owen Daniels gone for the year, so he's someone to keep in mind.  He's a talented TE.

Indianapolis Colts - Anthony Gonzalez remains out indefinitely.

Jacksonville Jaguars - None.

Kansas City Chiefs - Dwayne Bowe is suspended for 4 games, so Chris Chambers becomes a decent WR3 in his place as the Chiefs have to throw to someone.  Also keep an eye on Lance Long.  Jamaal Charles will start again, but Kolby Smith will be mixed in somehow, so Charles is risky considering the Chiefs probably won't run much.

Miami Dolphins - Ronnie Brown is out for the season, so Ricky Williams takes over and is a borderline RB1 moving forward as the focal point of Miami's offense.

Minnesota Vikings - None.

New England Patriots - Sammy Morris is expected to return this week, so it makes Maroney's fantasy value a big question mark.  I would roll with safer RB2 options until you see how it plays out, if you can.

New Orleans Saints - Bush had his best game in years last week, but as a result of the whopping 8 touches, his knee is swelling up on him again.  Don't even think about using him despite last week's performance.  Pierre Thomas is still a RB2 moving forward.

New York Giants - Hakeem Nicks and Mario Manningham continue to share snaps as the WR opposite Steve Smith, limiting their fantasy value.  I'm still calling for Nicks to overtake him as he's the more complete receiver as to where Manningham is better suited as a situational deep threat, but it hasn't happened yet.

New York Jets - None.

Oakland Raiders - Fantasy wasteland.

Philadelphia Eagles - Brian Westbrook is out indefinitely with post-concussion symptoms, so LeSean McCoy will start indefinitely.  Given his smaller frame and the success Leonard Weaver has enjoyed in his situational running, it wouldn't surprise me if Weaver came in at the goal line, but that's speculation rather than a fact.  McCoy is a decent RB2 moving forward, and he'd be stronger if he received goal line chances.

Pittsburgh Steelers - None.

San Diego Chargers - None.

San Francisco 49ers - Josh Morgan has officially replaced Isaac Bruce opposite Michael Crabtree, but that's more because of his solid blocking than his play making skills.  Morgan has the talent, but SF has two receiving targets that have more, which is unfortunate.

Seattle Seahawks - With Julius Jones out indefinitely with a chest/rib injury, Justin Forsett will start and see a good amount of time on the field.  His match up against MIN this week is poor, however, so he's a risky RB2 play.

St. Louis Rams - Brandon Gibson has overtaken the starting role opposite Donnie Avery, which injects the Rams' offense with more talent.  He's not a fantasy option yet, but he's worth watching.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Cadillac Williams and Derrick Ward continue to split time in the backfield.

Tennessee Titans - Justin Gage is out, meaning Kenny Britt will start again.  As always, with Vince Young under center, both Nate Washington and Britt are very risky WR3s who are unlikely to pile up much yardage.

Washington Redskins - Clinton Portis is out, so Ladell Betts will start again in his place.  Betts looked great despite supposedly being limited with a foot sprain, so he's a safe RB2.  He's always looked good when he's started, but this is the worst Redskins offense he's played on in his career.
