Bengals receiver Chris Henry, who fractured his arm in today's game, could be done for the season, according to the team's website.
"I caught the ball, I looked upfield. I tried to split the guys and turned toward the end zone," said Henry. "I was about to get up and I felt my arm (hurt), and then I noticed it was broke.”
Henry broke his arm while making a 20-yard reception, which was his only catch of the day.
On the season, Henry only had 12 receptions for 236 yards, but Henry provided the... Read Full Story
According to sources of ESPN's Adam Schefter, Eagles running back Brian Westbrook won't play in tonight's game against the Cowboys.
Westbrook sat out last week after suffering a concussion during the game against the Redskins on October 26th.
Both the Cowboys and Eagles are tied for first in the NFC East with 5-2 records. The Giants, who are a half-game behind the leaders at 5-3, are playing the San Diego Chargers this afternoon.
Rookie LeSean McCoy, who was the Eagles' second-round draft pi... Read Full Story
With six teams on a bye in week 9, you won't have the services of Adrian Peterson (Minnesota), Steven Jackson (St. Louis) and Thomas Jones (NY Jets) for your fantasy team this week.
Here are some players who are scheduled to play that I think will under-perform relative to their fantasy rankings for week 9:
Matt Forte, Bears (consensus rank 14): Last year, Forte was one of the biggest surprises in fantasy football. This year, he's one of the biggest disappointments. Through seven games, he... Read Full Story
Jets rookie quarterback Mark Sanchez could have had his season go from good to bad to worse.
What helped save it?
Apparently, a DVD given to Sanchez by coach Rex Ryan did, per Rich Cimini of the NY Daily News.
When viewing the DVD called "What We Want," which began with clips of Hall of Famer Joe Montana, Sanchez thought to himself, 'Jeez, who's next, Troy Aikman? Dan Marino? I'm like, 'I really have to start playing.'"
Instead the video Ryan gave Sanchez included highli... Read Full Story
Last week the Texans benched running back Steve Slaton after he fumbled his only carry in favor of Ryan Moats.
Moats, who was probably the most added player in fantasy football this week, finished the game with 126 rushing yards and three touchdowns (a franchise record).
For tomorrow's game against the Colts, Texans coach Gary Kubiak has named Moats the starter, per John McClain of the Houston Chronicle.
On the season Slaton has lost five fumbles in 110 carries. Last year he lost only two fu... Read Full Story
This is the final of three consecutive weeks where six teams have their bye week. Some notable running backs on bye are Minnesota's Adrian Peterson, St. Louis' Steven Jackson and New York's Thomas Jones.
That said, here are three running backs that may be a little under the radar that I expect to have a big week:
Jonathan Stewart, Panthers: It should be fairly obvious that Stewart's running mate, DeAngelo Williams, is a must-start every week. And I expect Williams to have a huge game this ... Read Full Story

This hasn't been a good week on the medical front for the Indianapolis Colts.
