I would think a torn muscle would be a problem

Thank you, Dr. Dungy.

I have a bunch of probable/questionable/unpredictables on my fantasy team this week. Marques Colston will play, but likely with a splint on his thumb. Clinton Portis and his hip flexor practiced today; we'll see more news on Sunday. Darren Sproles has an injured ankle and is predicted to see limited action. Will that be limited backup for LDT or limited return opportunities, which is the main reason I picked him up? Joseph Addai did something to his hamstring, but nobody knows the extent of his injury, including his coach so he's probably staying on my bench.

I have Lance Moore, whose value will nosedive once Colston is totally healthy again, and Michael Bush (RB vs. NYJ), to possibly replace Sproles, except that the Jets have the #3 run defense in the league. Arizona has a bye, which eliminates Steve Breaston from accepting a role this week.

It looks like I'll be leaving the majority in from last week, giving me a lineup of:
  • QB - Jason Campbell (vs. Cleveland; #11 pass defense, #17 total defense)
  • WR - Marques Colston (@ Carolina; #2 pass defense, #3 total)
  • WR - Anthony Gonzalez (@ Green Bay; #7 pass defense, #20 total)
  • RB - Clinton Portis (vs. Cleveland; #22 run defense, #17 total)
  • RB - Matt Forte (vs. Minnesota; #4 run defense, #7 total)
  • TE - Dustin Keller (@ Oakland; #25 pass defense, #24 total)
  • WR/RB - Darren Sproles (@ Buffalo; #18 run defense, #9 total)
  • K - Nate Kaeding (@ Buffalo; 12-15 FG, 18-18 PAT)
  • DEF - Chicago (vs. Minnesota; #15 total offense)
