Cowboys QB Tony Romo said today the ankle injury he suffered on Sunday is not major and he expects to be at “100%” against the Giants on Sunday night. “I’ll be fine,” Romo said. “There’s nothing wrong with it.”

Saints RB Pierre Thomas practiced fully on Wednesday and reiterated after practice that he will play on Sunday. He wore a large brace on his knee during practice and had his knee wrapped in ice afterward.

Browns RB Jamal Lewis was limited in practice Wednesday because of an unspecified neck injury. He went down with an apparent stinger in his neck after a 15-yard run in the first half.

  • Jerome Harrison could see his first game action Sunday in Denver. Harrison began his second day in a row of full participation in practice on Thursday. “He’s made great strides over the week,” coach Eric Mangini said. “He had a pretty good week last week, but I just thought it was better to give him another week. I like the way he looked (this week). I’m encouraged by his continued progress.”

Is LaDainian Tomlinson going to play? I hate this day to day crap, but all indications are that he will not play in week 2. “We don’t have to play him like we did a year ago when his toe was bothering him,” Turner told the paper of Tomlinson. “That’s why Michael is here.” Michael being Michael Bennett. Stay tuned we are following this.

Wide receiver Hank Baskett, who was released by Philadelphia Tuesday, has agreed to terms on a one-year contract with the Indianapolis Colts, according to his agent.

1. Randy Moss (New England Patriots) @ New York Jets – Randy Moss is wicked good. So is Andre Johnson and the Jets shut him down. But Tom Brady is wickeder than Matt Schaub. 110/2

2. Larry Fitzgerald (Arizona Cardinals) @ Jacksonville – In all of the disaster that was the Cardinals offense last week, Fitz was the only one that came to play. 6 grabs, 71 yards, and a TD. And that’s really not that great for Fitz. Things will get better, and this week he will get back on track. 110/1

3. Reggie Wayne (Indianapolis Colts) @ Miami – How awesome is this guy. a buck 62 and a TD. Miami just does not have the defense to hold Wayne back. With problems at the 2 spot, Wayne is the man. 110/1

4. Greg Jennings (Green Bay Packers) vs. Cincinnati – Jennings got off to a good start with 106 yards and a TD. Another day at the office this week against a weak Bengals defense. 105/1

5. Roddy White (Atlanta Falcons) vs. Carolina – Roddy White didn’t have a crazy good game last week against the Dolphins. Only 42 yards without a TD. Matt Ryan will be looking for White t./ <—cat walked on the keyboard. this week. 95/1

6. Calvin Johnson (Detroit Lions) vs. Minnesota – Megatron Rules! Johnson had 13 looks from Stafford in week 1, but only grabbed 3. But those 3 went for 90. Sick. Minny’s defense is tough, but you should still expect the same type of output from CJ this week. 90/1 [click to continue…]

Post image for Week 2 Fantasy Football Prep – Waiver Wire, Injuries, and Nuggets

Waiver Wire

Ravens QB Joe Flacco – After a monster week 1, it might not be a bad idea to grab Flacco if he is available. Couple of reasons. It’s always nice to have a reliable back-up on yur roster for bye-weeks and injuries. But other managers might fall victim to the injury bug, and he can be trade bait later in the season.

Buccaneers RB Carnell Williams - What a pleasant surprie Cadillac was. 97 yards and a TD on 13 carries. If the Bucs were in the game, he would have had more touches. He has a nice stretch to end the season onto the fantasy playoffs. Starting with week 9. GB, MIA, NO, ATL, CAR, JETS, SEA (wk 15), NO (wk 16)

Saints RB Mike Bell – The guy ran for 148 yards on 28 carries yesterday. go get him. Especially if you have Pierre Thomas. And Hurry.

Colts WRs Pierre Garcon & Austin Collie – Anthony Gonzalez will be out for 2-6 weeks. One of these 2 guys need to fill his role. NFL.com’s Colts Depth Chart has Collie as AG’s backup.

Jets TE Dustin Keller – Mark Sanchez got plenty of use out of the Jets best receiving option. If he is available, go get him. He will put up low end TE1 numbers. [click to continue…]
