Week 3: Doomsday Diagnosis

Hello gentlemen, this is Dr Doomsday in the house to give you a good look at guys that are injured and what I believe to be fantasy relevant for your teams. This week, the position of biggest amount of injuries is definitely the WR by a huge margin. Thank god that there is pretty big depth at that position overall. So lets start right away. 

Jeremy Maclin WR Phi
After a very valiant effort by coming back in the game and hauling in a TD, Maclin looks to have hurt it even more after leaving the game. He didn't practice Wednesday but did show up today and really didn't do much. I think he is a stud but the Eagles will hold him back this week as they probably don't want him to re aggravate his injury and make it a lot worse.
Verdict: Will not play

Pierre Garcon WR Was
After missing week 2 and Redskins losing to the Rams, Garcon was limited in practice Wednesday. RG3's favorite target really needs to get back for greedy fantasy owners and 2 weeks in just too much. Coach Shanahan also acknowledged that Garcon's foot is nagging him more than he anticipated so that is not a good sign at all.
Verdict: Will not play

Steven Jackson RB Stl
With younger RBs in Stl coming up, S Jax just made his case a little worse by injuring his groin which is a horrible thing. Jackson has had problems with soft tissue injuries. He didn't practice Wednesday and today which shows that the chances of him playing is getting slimmer and slimmer. Jackson is hopeful to play this weekend against the tough Bears D. 
Verdict: Will not play

Ryan Matthews RB SD
Now it is finally time for San Diego to unleash the beast in Ryan Matthews. He broke his collarbone and it was a long and very frustrating for fantasy owners and Chargers lovers. Matthews finally practiced fully in pads on Wednesday and today, this is looking very good and exciting for Chargers fans. Everything right now just points that he will start barring no setbacks. 
Verdict: Will Play

Antonio Gates TE SD
The future hall of famer that is still producing was injured last week and was out. Mr Rosario looked great but the sheriff is back to get his catches against the Falcons. After being limited on Wednesday's practice, he practiced fully today and he and Matthews looks like they will coming back to bring the high powered offense to gear.
Verdict: Will play

Troy Polamalu FS Pit
The all pro stud looks very iffy to play the Raiders this week even though they don't need him to beat the Raiders. He hurt his calf and didn't practice today but there will be a much better idea on his status on Friday. 
Verdict: Will not play

Rolando McClain LB Oak
With a great week 1 and disappointing week 2, the extreme talent knucklehead McClain is hurt with a concussion. He did practice today which a great sign and will make a good impact.
Verdict: will play

Dustin Keller TE NYJ
After missing the first 2 weeks, Keller is very confident and optimistic that he will play against the Dolphins. Keller did not practice on Wednesday but did on a limited basis on Thursday. 
Verdict: Will play

Marques Colston WR NO
This man is just a hard guy to read... He is so physically talented but sometimes he is just so quiet and doesn't get any catches till garbage time. I just don't get it and he is injury prone as he is on this list devil . Colston did practiced limited on Wednesday and Thursday so things are looking good for him. He should help the Saints get their first win. 
Verdict: Will play

Brandon Lloyd WR NE
Now Brandon Lloyd looks like he will be a major part of this offense with Hernandez hurt and the reduced role of Welker. He hurt his thigh and was limited Wednesday and today. The Pats really need him as a deep threat in the huge showdown on Sunday night against the Ravens.
Verdict: will play

Erin Henderson LB Min
Now looking like his brother a few years back, Erin Henderson is just a stud the past 2 games. He missed Wednesday and Thursday's practice with a concussion. 
Verdict: Will not play

Pat Angerer LB Ind
With a huge year last year, Angerer has been plagued with injuries. He did not practice at all on Wednesday and is listed as doubtful from a foot injury. 
Verdict: Will not play

Greg Jennings WR GB
Jennings who hurt his groin didn't participate in practice this entire week. Things are really not looking good even though he showed up in today's practice session. Coach McCarthy noted that things are NOT where they want it to be for Jennings.
Verdict: Will not play

Calvin Johnson WR Det 
After being shadowed all night against the 49ers D, Johnson missed Wednesday practice with an ankle injury. Johnson who is unstoppable came back to practice today. It looks like he will be back and ready to go.
Verdict: Will play

Sean Lee LB Dal
Getting knocked the shit out by a receiver must have really sucked. Lee who is a stud LB in his own right is hurt with hip pointers. He was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice but I think he will back on the prowl for tackles and his specialty of forcing fumbles. 
Verdict: Will play

Matt Forte RB chi
With great news that Forte did not get a high ankle sprain, he is still hurt and is making progress according to Lovie Smith. He didn't practice yesterday or today which is not good. All signs show that he will most likely not make it to this week's game.
Verdict: Will not play

Jarius Byrd FS Buf
After making a huge name for himself last season, Byrd is hurt with a foot injury. He practiced today on a VERY limited basis according to Coach Gailey but he says that he thinks he will make it to Sunday and Byrd looks good. 
Verdict: Will play

Fred Jackson RB Buf
With Spiller looking like what he was drafted to be, Jackson looks like he will come back to be the backup or split time with Spiller. Jackson who hurt sprained his right knee ligament is making a very good recovery and is ahead of schedule. 
Verdict: Will not play 

Ladarius Webb CB Bal
The number 1 CB on the Ravens Ladarius Webb is hurt and missed Wednesday's practice due to a knee injury. He will be needed for the Patriots game.
Verdict: Will Play

Bernard Pollard SS Bal
This huge hitter has hurt his ribs. Pollard did not practice on Wednesday but it looks like he will be good to go.
Verdict: will play

Roddy White WR Atl
After an amazing game against the Broncos beating out Porter and Bailey, White is hurt with a knee injury. He was limited Wednesday and today but I really feel like there is no problem. The Falcons will need him against the Chargers game.
Verdict: Will Play

Julio Jones WR Atl
With a relatively disappointing week 2, Jones practiced on a limited basis on Wednesday and Thursday. He will play on Sunday against the Chargers in my opinion. 
Verdict: Will play
