16. | Nick Foles PHI vs. Cin |
17. | Matt Schaub HOU vs. Ind |
18. | Russell Wilson SEA at Buf |
19. | Tony Romo DAL vs. Pit Note: Bad matchup, but no Ike Taylor. |
20. | *Joe Flacco BAL vs. Den Note: The Ravens fired offensive coordinator Cam Cameron in part because of Flacco's relationship with him. But is Jim Caldwell any sort of panacea? |
21. | *Jay Cutler CHI vs. GB Note: Left last week with a neck injury, but thinks he should be ready to go later in the week. Said Wednesday that he'll be ready to play. *** Listed as probable. *** |
22. | Brandon Weeden CLE vs. Was Note: Somewhat disappointing effort against the Chiefs - once the Browns jumped ahead, Weeden went into 'manage-the-game' mode. |
23. | Chad Henne JAC at Mia |
24. | *Mark Sanchez NYJ at Ten Note: *** Listed as probable with a back injury. *** |
25. | Ryan Fitzpatrick BUF vs. Sea |
26. | Ryan Tannehill MIA vs. Jac |
27. | *Kirk Cousins WAS at Cle Note: Great job in relief of the injured RGIII - won't know until later in the week whether he'll start. Getting the start Sunday against the Browns. He's a completely different type of quarterback - not nearly as mobile as RG3, last week's two-point conversion notwithstanding. It'll be interesting to see just how many packages the team can implement within one week. |
28. | *Jake Locker TEN vs. NYJ Note: *** (Shoulder) Listed as probable. *** |
29. | Brady Quinn KC at Oak |
30. | Sam Bradford STL vs. Min |
31. | Christian Ponder MIN at StL Note: Turned in his third sub-100 yard effort of the season against the Bears. |
32. | *Ryan Lindley ARZ vs. Det Note: Back as the starter. Yay! Meanwhile, Kevin Kolb just got placed on IR, so that's not an option. |
33. | *Robert Griffin WAS at Cle Note: Grade 1 LCL sprain - RGIII's status for Sunday is still in doubt. As always, watch the practice reports. Has practiced the last two days and has been 'looking better' the last two days. Still, it's uncertain whether he'll play. *** Won't start, and early Sunday report suggests that he might not even suit up. *** |
34. | *Jason Campbell CHI vs. GB Note: Here just in case Cutler has a setback in practice this week. |
Running Backs
1. | *Adrian Peterson MIN at StL Note: *** (Abdomen) Limited in Friday's practice, but listed as probable. *** |
2. | Marshawn Lynch SEA at Buf |
3. | *Jamaal Charles KC at Oak Note: Appeared to injure a rib or shoulder early on against the Browns, but later returned to the game. |
4. | Arian Foster HOU vs. Ind |
5. | Doug Martin TB at NO |
6. | *C.J. Spiller BUF vs. Sea Note: Fred Jackson will miss the last three games, so I can't wait to see Chan Gailey troll us by giving Tashard Choice 15 carries this week. |
7. | Knowshon Moreno DEN at Bal |
8. | *David Wilson NYG at Atl Note: Monster game last week and Bradshaw is getting his knee checked out. ***Big bump up to the top 10 with Bradshaw ruled out. *** |
9. | *Ray Rice BAL vs. Den Note: Dealing with a slight hip pointer, but coming off of a huge week. Limited Wednesday. *** Limited at practice all week, but listed as probable. *** |
10. | DeMarco Murray DAL vs. Pit |
11. | Matt Forte CHI vs. GB |
12. | *Chris Johnson TEN vs. NYJ Note: Did not practice Thursday due to an ankle injury, but he is expected to practice Friday. *** Listed as probable. *** |
13. | BenJarvus Green-Ellis CIN at Phi |
14. | *Alfred Morris WAS at Cle Note: ***Downgraded a tad with RG3 out - I think that he'll have fewer holes to run through, and different looks to face than usual. He's also dealing with an illness, but is listed as probable.*** |
15. | *Steven Jackson STL vs. Min Note: *** (Foot) Did not practice Friday, but is listed as probable. *** |
16. | *Trent Richardson CLE vs. Was Note: *** Dealing with chest/ribs/finger injuries, plus an illness, but is listed as probable. *** |
17. | Bryce Brown PHI vs. Cin Note: Huge disappointment against the Bucs - now might have to deal with the return of McCoy. |
18. | Stevan Ridley NE vs. SF |
19. | Reggie Bush MIA vs. Jac |
20. | *Darren McFadden OAK vs. KC Note: Practiced Monday despite re-injuring his ankle last Thursday. Should be able to play this week against the Chiefs. Full practice Wednesday. *** Full practices all week, listed as probable. *** |
21. | DeAngelo Williams CAR at SD |
22. | Frank Gore SF at NE |
23. | Montell Owens JAC at Mia Note: Owens had 91 yards on 14 carries with his opportunity, including a score. |
24. | Mikel Leshoure DET at Ari |
25. | Vick Ballard IND at Hou Note: Should get the goal line carries this week with Delone Carter out - if there are any goal line carries. |
26. | *Jonathan Dwyer PIT at Dal Note: Will remain the starter, but got just eight carries and often ceded carries to Redman on third down. |
27. | *Ryan Mathews SD vs. Car Note: *** Might see a tad more action on third down with Ronnie Brown doubtful. *** |
28. | Darren Sproles NO vs. TB |
29. | Jacquizz Rodgers ATL vs. NYG |
30. | Shonn Greene NYJ at Ten |
31. | Alex Green GB at Chi |
32. | Daniel Thomas MIA vs. Jac |
33. | *Michael Turner ATL vs. NYG Note: (Elbow) Only on the field for 20 snaps last week, though one was a touchdown. |
34. | Joique Bell DET at Ari |
35. | Beanie Wells ARZ vs. Det |
36. | Mark Ingram NO vs. TB |
37. | *Montario Hardesty CLE vs. Was Note: *** Might get more carries than usual with Richardson dealing with a host of issues. *** |
38. | Shane Vereen NE vs. SF |
39. | *Bernard Pierce BAL vs. Den Note: (Back) Limited in practice Wednesday. |
40. | Robert Turbin SEA at Buf Note: Showed that he could carry the water sufficiently if Lynch were to get hurt, but don't read more into his 108 yards last week. |
41. | *Ben Tate HOU vs. Ind Note: Full practice Thursday after resting Wednesday. *** Another full practice Friday, listed as probable. *** |
42. | Isaac Redman PIT at Dal |
43. | Peyton Hillis KC at Oak |
44. | Marcel Reece OAK vs. KC |
45. | DuJuan Harris GB at Chi |
46. | *Bilal Powell NYJ at Ten Note: Fractured toe, still has a chance to play. *** Listed as probable - injury not as bad as expected, but I'd expect something less than this usual workload. *** |
47. | Felix Jones DAL vs. Pit |
48. | *Tashard Choice BUF vs. Sea Note: The backup with Fred Jackson out for the rest of the season, though he's not supposed to get Jackson's workload, if you can trust Chan Gailey. |
49. | Daryl Richardson STL vs. Min |
50. | Pierre Thomas NO vs. TB |
51. | Anthony Dixon SF at NE |
52. | Ronnie Hillman DEN at Bal |
53. | *Jackie Battle SD vs. Car Note: *** Could get more looks if Ronnie Brown doesn't play. *** |
54. | Justin Forsett HOU vs. Ind |
55. | *Michael Bush CHI vs. GB Note: Re-injured his ribs in the loss to the Vikings. Did not practice Wednesday. *** Listed as questionable. *** |

78. | *Cedric Peerman CIN at Phi Note: (Ankle) Did not practice Tuesday, short week with the Thursday game. |
79. | *Jonathan Stewart CAR at SD Note: (Ankle) Did not practice Wednesday or Thursday - looks like he won't play again this week. ***Out again this week. *** |
80. | *LeSean McCoy PHI vs. Cin Note: Some limited practice Tuesday. Wednesday's practice will be revealing. |
81. | *Maurice Jones-Drew JAC at Mia Note: (Foot) Not at practice Thursday, listed as 'very questionable' by the Jaguars. ***Ruled out again this week. *** |
82. | *Rashard Mendenhall PIT at Dal Note: Suspended for one game by the Steelers. |

Wide Receivers
1. | Calvin Johnson DET at Ari |
2. | Demaryius Thomas DEN at Bal |
3. | Brandon Marshall CHI vs. GB |
4. | A.J. Green CIN at Phi |
5. | Reggie Wayne IND at Hou |
6. | *Victor Cruz NYG at Atl Note: Evaluated for a shoulder injury after the game, but the Giants' coaching staff thinks he'll be all right. |
7. | *Wes Welker NE vs. SF Note: *** Officially listed as questionable, as always. *** |
8. | Vincent Jackson TB at NO |
9. | Marques Colston NO vs. TB |
10. | Julio Jones ATL vs. NYG |
11. | Andre Johnson HOU vs. Ind |
12. | *Hakeem Nicks NYG at Atl Note: Said that his knee is gradually getting better each week. ***Officially listed as probable.*** |
13. | Randall Cobb GB at Chi |
14. | Danario Alexander SD vs. Car Note: Has he risen to a matchup-proof level? |
15. | *Mike Wallace PIT at Dal Note: Another game, another drop, another chewing out on the sidelines by coach Tomlin. Yet, on the field for 94 percent of the Steelers' snaps last week. |
16. | Miles Austin DAL vs. Pit |
17. | *Pierre Garcon WAS at Cle Note: *** Downgraded a smidge with RG3 out, though I think that he might be the one player hurt the least because of this change. *** |
18. | Steve Smith CAR at SD |
19. | Mike Williams TB at NO |
20. | *Jeremy Maclin PHI vs. Cin Note: Injured his groin in the celebration on the game-winning catch against the Bucs. Limited in practice Tuesday. |
21. | *Roddy White ATL vs. NYG Note: (Knee) Did not practice Thursday and will be a game-time decision. ***Didn't practice all week, officially listed as questionable. *** |
22. | *Dez Bryant DAL vs. Pit Note: Finger injury. Could be out for the season, could play this week. The Cowboys put the decision on him, which I think is irresponsible, when permanent damage is one of the possible outcomes. Bryant has asserted he will play this week, and caught a few passes Thursday. Still, it's a guess to see how well he'll play in the heat of battle. ***Going to play, but said that he would have had surgery this week if the Cowboys weren't in the playoff hunt. So there's still a chance you don't get him next week if the Cowboys lose this week. |
23. | Josh Gordon CLE vs. Was |
24. | Steve Johnson BUF vs. Sea |
25. | *Cecil Shorts JAC at Mia Note: (Concussion) Cleared for limited practice. ***Full practice Friday, listed as probable.*** |
26. | T.Y. Hilton IND at Hou |
27. | Michael Crabtree SF at NE |
28. | Golden Tate SEA at Buf Note: The down side to a blowout - once the team gets so far ahead, there's no chance for the top wideouts to get any action. Really poorly timed in this case. |
29. | Anquan Boldin BAL vs. Den |
30. | Greg Jennings GB at Chi Note: Targeted just four times, though once in the end zone where Rodgers just missed him. |
31. | *Brandon Lloyd NE vs. SF Note: Big game on Monday night, was on the field for 66 snaps. *** Officially listed as questionable, as always. *** |
32. | Torrey Smith BAL vs. Den |

43. | Sidney Rice SEA at Buf |
44. | Denarius Moore OAK vs. KC |
45. | Nate Washington TEN vs. NYJ |
46. | *Antonio Brown PIT at Dal Note: *** Brown's ankle is less than 100 percent, but he insists he'll be able to play. *** |
47. | Rod Streater OAK vs. KC |
48. | Jason Avant PHI vs. Cin Note: Huge game starting in DeSean Jackson's spot. |

57. | Brian Hartline MIA vs. Jac |
58. | Darrius Heyward-Bey OAK vs. KC |
59. | Larry Fitzgerald ARZ vs. Det |
60. | *Jon Baldwin KC at Oak Note: Should get a lot more targets with Bowe out, but this is KC, so we'll see. |
61. | Kendall Wright TEN vs. NYJ |
62. | Jeremy Kerley NYJ at Ten |
63. | *Andre Roberts ARZ vs. Det Note: *** Listed as probable. *** |
64. | Josh Morgan WAS at Cle |
65. | Mike Thomas DET at Ari |
66. | *Chaz Schilens NYJ at Ten Note: ***Will start in place of Stephen Hill this week. *** |
67. | Domenik Hixon NYG at Atl |
68. | *T.J. Graham BUF vs. Sea Note: ***Added to the list with Donald Jones suffering a setback in practice.*** |

87. | *Davone Bess MIA vs. Jac Note: (Back) Missed practice Wednesday and Thursday. ***Officially ruled out.*** |
88. | *Mario Manningham SF at NE Note: (Shoulder) Will be questionable this week. More active in practice Thursday than on Wednesday. ***Ruled out again this week. *** |
89. | *Earl Bennett CHI vs. GB Note: (Concussion) Did not practice Thursday. |
90. | *Brandon Stokley DEN at Bal |
91. | *Jordy Nelson GB at Chi Note: (Hamstring) Did not practice Thursday. ***Officially ruled out.*** |
92. | *Brandon LaFell CAR at SD Note: (Toe) Did not practice Thursday. ***Officially listed as questionable. *** |
