Week 2: Doomsday Diagnosis

Hello my dear fantasy owners, the first week has been exciting and many players have taken to benches. Today we will be looking at various players and positions that are injured and have a decent chance of playing in week 2 games. Hear we go everyone!

Roddy White WR Atl:
The 1st part of a 2 headed monster at receiver in Atlanta, Roddy White has been a key part of everyone's fantasy team the past few years. He has hurt his groin and was a limited participate in practice today. White is listed as questionable but I believe that the extra rest till Monday night will help for the showdown with the Broncos.
Final Verdict: Will play

Pierre Garcon WR Was:
After a explosive week one and great connection with RG3, Garcon went down with a foot injury. He and the Redskins are very optimistic about it but the results coming out hasn't been good at all. He practiced very limited today which is a bad sign. Coaches don't know whether he could play or not.
Final Verdict: Will not play

Nate Washington WR Ten:
After a great week one and a spectacular touchdown, Washington went down with an injured leg. He didn't practice today which is definitely a bad sign. I really don't think he could make it against San Diego but Kenny Britt is coming along well.
Final Verdict: Will not play

Sidney Rice WR Sea
Rice had a solid week 1 against Patrick Peterson and the Cardinals. He snagged a TD and some good plays but his injuries once again caught up with him. He hurt his knee and missed practice 2 days in a row. Things are not looking too bright with him and injuries are just the last thing he needs.
Final Verdict: Will not play

Antonio Gates TE SD
The future HOF TE Gates has once again been injured on a very optimistic injury free year. Gates hurt his ribs and came out the game but came back and won SDK a league by 1 point! Gates was expected to practice today but didn't which is not looking good... He has played through injuries and I think he will here.
Final Verdict: Will play

Ryan Matthews RB SD
This very high expectations RB had a HUGE breakthrough today as he has been cleared for contact and practiced on limited terms. Matthews looks to be heading in the right direction but I just don't think he will play with the expected big amount of touches for Ronnie Brown.
Final Verdict: Will not play

Rashard Mendenhall RB Pit
With potential still left in the tank, Mendenhall practiced fully today which is a great sign. He looked great in practice and I think he will play.
Final Verdict: Will play

Jeremy Maclin WR Phi
After a great week 1 but the young stud, Maclin got injured in the game. He hurt his hip and didn't practice today, the situation doesn't look good at all for him and the Eagles.
Final Verdict: Will not play

Hakeem Nicks WR NYG
With a relatively disappointing week 1, Hakeem Nicks is questionable for week 2. As expected, Nicks came back to practice today and looks to be fine.
Final Verdict: Will play

Jonathan Stewart RB Car
After missing week 1, Stewart has practiced today and clearly cut and moved a lot better than he did Wednesday, that is a great sign.
Final Verdict: Will Play

Steve Smith WR Car
With great production at this age, the only thing that could hold back Smith is injuries. Coach Rivera did announce that Smith would play but he shut him down at practice today after a sore knee which puts him back on watch list for sure.
Final Verdict: Will play

Calvin Johnson WR Det
After coming back against the Rams, Johnson had a relatively small injury in his foot. He didn't practice Wednesday which caused a little concern but came back today with no steps back.
Final Verdict: Will play

Arian Foster RB Hou
With a great week 1, Foster reappeared back on the injury report after "not feeling well" on Wednesday's practice. He did return today which is great as he is such a stud.
Final Verdict: Will play

Colin Mccarthy LB Ten
Mccarthy is expected to have great things ahead, and after watching the Pats game I was impressed for sure. He did injure his ankle which is a bad sign and didn't practice Wednesday.
Final Verdict: Will play

James Harrison LB Pitt
The man who calls the commish a is injured once again with a knee. He didn't practice Wednesday but he said he was going to play week 2 which is a great sign.
Final Verdict: Will play

Rolando Mcclain LB Oak
This upcoming LB hurt his shoulder in the Monday Night beatdown against the Chargers. He didn't practice Wednesday but did come back Thursday and practiced on a limited basis.

That's all for now window foggers!

Week 1: Doomsday Diagnosis

The 1st week has arrived and many Roster Wars owners will be biting their nails for their respective players. This off season has been a killer for everyone in terms of injuries and a struggle to make up lost ground. Doomsday is coming Sunday and Dr Doomsday will try to put every injured player to the bench.

Marshawn Lynch: In contract with Philadelphia Pigskins and Wyoming Headhunters
Owners Philadelphia Pigskins and Wyoming Headhunters will have a really tough time this week on whether to put Lynch in this week. He once again has the PAINFUL back spasms. Lynch is questionable but practiced today on a limited basis. He is a definite game time decision and the back spasms could show up anytime.
Final Verdict: Will play on limited carries. About 8-15 in my opinion.

Ryan Matthews: In contract with the Chicago Crime Syndicate and England Dragons
This man has disappointed people time and time again. After the release of Tolbert, HUGE expectations came from myself and what seemed like the rest of the fantasy world. One year it's fumble, and next injuries. Mathews broke his clavicle and is not looking good at all. He has been to practice on a limited basis but is not cleared for contact. With the game closing in quickly and not even able to get hit, I really don't think this will work out one way or the other. His official status is doubtful but I think it's safe to call him out.
Final Verdict: Out for the game

Adrian Peterson: In contract with the Singapore Slings and Wyoming Headhunters
Peterson's recovery just shows how much of a beast he is. The guy is a monster and should be able to come back. His current status in questionable and is expected to play. If he does play, Coach Leslie Frazier has already said that they will not rush him and put him for limited carries. Gerhart has looked great and will probably get similar amount of carries week 1. My gut feel is that he will play. My main hope is that he doesn't go that hard with his running style and go a little smoother to reduce injury possibilities. Coach Frazier has also
Final Verdict: Will play but get 6-12 carries

Trent Richardson: In contract with the Dectaur Demons and New Mexico Mad Clowns
With high hopes of being the next SUPERSTAR at the RB position, Richardson is going on a relatively slow start. He injured his knee which in my opinion is a killer for hard running RB's like Richardson. Trent is making a slick recovery and is officially listed questionable and is expected to play against the Eagles. The Browns really need him and he seems confident that he will be in the game. In a quote, he has said "I'm still going to play like it's my last".
Final verdict: Will play and get the full load

Jonathan Stewart: In contract with the San Francisco Golddiggers and Florida Chaetomorpha
Getting high expectations for Stewart has been very common the past few years. He started his career wonderfully in one of the best RB duos of all time but has dropped off quite a bit. This week Stewart is questionable due to an ankle injury. He has not practiced in the last 3 days which makes his situation to play a lot worse. The Panthers will make a decision tomorrow(Friday) according to the Charlotte Observer reports.
Final Verdict: Will not play the game

Denarius Moore: In contract with the Singapore Slings and England Dragons
Moore has been looking very good when not injured. He has looked to be the next star for the Raider if injuries don't plague him, That is a HUGE IF. Moore hurt his hamstring and his been out for a long time. He returned to practice today(Thursday) for the first time since August 4th. Moore will be expected to play the Monday night opening showdown with Chargers. Coach Dennis Allen has announced that Moore will be a game time decision.
Final Verdict: Will play and effect the game

Marques Colston: In contract with the England Dragons and San Francisco Golddiggers
Colston who looks to have a big year took a step back with an injury. His foot has caused him to miss practice Wednesday but returned on limited terms today. He looks fine but is officially listed as questionable for the Saints game against the Washington Redskins.
Final Verdict: Will play with no major setbacks

Curtis Lofton: In contract with the Colorado Screaming Eagles and Minnesota Destroyers
Lofton who will be the main anchor of the Saints defense has had an ankle injury for quite some time. He has practiced fully today and looks to just fine. Watch for some huge numbers going forward barring no injury setback. Curtis Lofton is listed as probable right now.
Final Verdict: Will Play

David Hawthrone: In contract with the Utah Spazz and Philadelphia Pigskins
A newly acquired stud from the Seattle Seahawks, the New Orleans Saints LB David Hawthrone has been limited in practice for the past week. He finally practiced fully today and looks to join the new, studly group of new LBs in New Orleans. His official status is probable.
Final Verdict: Will Play

Stevie Johnson: In contract with the Chicago Crime Syndicate and St Louis Duffers
Stevie Johnson a young undrafted receiver just continues to put himself in that stud category. Johnson who hurt his groin sat out practice today. The Bills trainer's believe that he will back tomorrow and Saturday and be ready for the big divisional game against the Jets. Johnson is listed as questionable.
Final Verdict: Will play

Brian Urlacher: In contract with the Colorado Screaming Eagles and Singapore Slings
Urlacher looks like he will be coming back for the season opener. The Bears will really need him and he looks like the type of guy who would fight his way back. Urlacher has been practicing everyday since Monday but sat out today for precautionary measures. He is listed as probable.
Final Verdict: Will play

Rashard Mendenhall: In contract with the Wyoming Headhunters and Carolina Werewolves
Mendenhall has truly had an amazing recovery from a big injury. He has improved on his status slowly but surely. Mendenhall has practiced and showed quickness and cuts that left many Steeler players amazed and stunned. It may look like he will suit up but not really get meaningful action.
Final Verdict: Will play with no effect though.

James Harrison: In contract with the Singapore Slings and Colorado Screaming Eagles
This crazy, injury prone beast has been injured once again. His knee has been hurt and he didn't practice Thursday. Harrison is listed as questionable
Final Verdict: Will play with limited impact

Dustin Keller: In contract with the
Keller who is a steady consistent TE has been hurt from a hamstring injury this offseason. He practiced and looks like he is good to go. Keller has said"I'm pretty sure I'll be good to go".
Final Verdict: Will play with no set back

Arian Foster: In contract with the
With a new injury that just popped up today, Foster has hurt his knee. The Texans say that is minor which is a huge sigh of relieve to Foster owners as he is expected to be the #1 fantasy running back this year. Foster should be good to go and be very effective, just love this guy. Foster's official status is questionable but the Texans say it is minor.
Final Verdict: Will be good to go

Derrick Johnson: In contract with the
The stud LB Derrick Johnson who hurt his ankle in the final preseason game looks to be fine. He was a limited participant in practice but being there is already a good sign. He looks to be in great form and shape for this upcoming season. He is listed as questionable.
Final Verdict: Will Play
