21. | Matt Hasselbeck TEN vs. NO |
22. | Mark Sanchez NYJ vs. KC |
23. | Dan Orlovsky IND at Bal Note: Put up big numbers in garbage time - but very efficient overall, 30-for-37. |
24. | Caleb Hanie CHI at Den Note: Will start again this week, despite the laid egg against the Chiefs. Facing the Chiefs didn't help, neither did the lack of talent on his receiving corps. |
25. | *Andy Dalton CIN vs. Hou Note: Left in the fourth quarter with a hip injury. Hip is 'fine' and Dalton will be a full-go at practice this week. |
26. | T.J. Yates HOU at Cin Note: The Texans signed Jeff Garcia, who will be third string behind Yates and Jake Delhomme. |
27. | Joe Webb MIN at Det |
28. | Kevin Kolb ARZ vs. SF |
29. | Blaine Gabbert JAC vs. TB Note: Statistically a better game Monday night, but he still has little pocket presence. |
30. | *Colt McCoy CLE at Pit Note: Sprained right knee, but expected to start Thursday against the Steelers. |
31. | Tyler Palko KC at NYJ |
32. | *Christian Ponder MIN at Det Note: Suffered a hip pointer in the loss. Mixed bag against the Broncos - good numbers and at times looked great, but also had two killer INTs. Did not practice Wednesday or Thursday - looking less likely to play. |
33. | *Sam Bradford STL at Sea Note: (Ankle) The Rams played it safe against the Niners, but Bradford could return at Seattle on Monday night, especially with Feeley banged up. Did not practice Thursday, nor did Feeley. Tom Brandstater took the first-team snaps. *** Limited practice Saturday - might end up starting. Could be Bradford, Brandstater, or even Kellen Clemens. |
34. | *Tom Brandstater STL at Sea Note: Took first-team reps Wednesday and Thursday, with both Bradford and Feeley out. |
35. | Kellen Clemens STL at Sea |
36. | *Josh Johnson TB at Jac Note: Separated his left (non-throwing) shoulder in the loss to the Panthers, but returned to action shortly thereafter. |
37. | *Vince Young PHI at Mia Note: Michael Vick expects to return this week. |
38. | *Kyle Orton KC at NYJ Note: Dislocated his index finger on his first snap with the Cheifs. Palko likely to start again. |

17. | Shonn Greene NYJ vs. KC |
18. | *Cedric Benson CIN vs. Hou Note: (Foot) Limited Wednesday, didn't practice Thursday, but still expected to play. *** Practiced Friday, listed as probable. *** |
19. | Steven Jackson STL at Sea |
20. | *Beanie Wells ARZ vs. SF Note: (Knee) Limited again Thursday - low ranking this week isn't due to injury, but the matchup. *** Officially listed as probable. *** |
21. | BenJarvus Green-Ellis NE at Was |
22. | *Maurice Morris DET vs. Min Note: ***Kevin Smith barely practiced this week - Morris should benefit, though sometimes Keiland Williams takes the goal line carries.*** |
23. | *Willis McGahee DEN vs. Chi Note: (Knee) Held out of practice Wednesday and Thursday. *** Practiced Friday, so while he's listed as questionable, it's likely that he'll play barring a setback in warmups. *** |

25. | Donald Brown IND at Bal |
26. | *Ahmad Bradshaw NYG at Dal Note: (Foot) Emerged from Sunday's game without any significant soreness. Didn't practice Thursday, expected to practice Friday. *** Both Bradshaw and Jacobs were limited Friday but are still probable for Sunday night's game. *** |
27. | *Adrian Peterson MIN at Det Note: (High Ankle Sprain) Frazier said Monday that Peterson was 'very close' to returning. We'll see how that translates in practice this week. Did not experience any pain when planting and cutting during Thursday's practice. *** Says he's 80 percent, listed as questionable - Frazier said that he knows whether Peterson will play, but won't tell anyone. Gee, thanks. *** |
28. | *Pierre Thomas NO at Ten Note: *** Should benefit with Ingram out. *** |
29. | *Toby Gerhart MIN at Det Note: Obviously he drops a ton if Peterson plays. Peterson seemingly more likely to play - dropping down from 25. |
30. | Jonathan Stewart CAR vs. Atl |
31. | *Brandon Jacobs NYG at Dal Note: (Hamstring) Didn't practice Thursday, expected to practice Friday. *** Both Bradshaw and Jacobs were limited Friday but are still probable for Sunday night's game. *** |
32. | *Marion Barber CHI at Den Note: Committee appraoch with Khalil Bell while Matt Forte is out. |
33. | *Brandon Saine GB vs. Oak Note: Split carries with Ryan Grant after Starks got hurt. *** Starks is officially out. Ryan Grant will start, but Saine could end up doing more. *** |
34. | Daniel Thomas MIA vs. Phi |
35. | Dexter McCluster KC at NYJ |
36. | Mike Tolbert SD vs. Buf |
37. | Ricky Williams BAL vs. Ind |
38. | *Kahlil Bell CHI at Den Note: Committee approach with Marion Barber with Matt Forte out - likely to get more of the action between the 20's. |
39. | *Ryan Grant GB vs. Oak Note: *** Starting with James Starks out, but I believe that Saine is the back with the higher upside. *** |
40. | Felix Jones DAL vs. NYG |

51. | Jackie Battle KC at NYJ Note: McCluster was the most effective of the three Chiefs backs, and Jones got more carries than Battle last week. Ugh. |

54. | Chris Ogbonnaya CLE at Pit |
55. | Kregg Lumpkin TB at Jac |
