Houston receiver Jacoby Jones, slated to start Week 5 opposite Kevin Walter with Andre Johnson expected out against the Raiders, appeared on the practice injury report on Wednesday for the Texans. Jones was limited in practice with a knee injury. The knee has been a lingering issue, and likely will not hinder him entering the Week 5 game against the Raiders. "Jacoby's grown up a lot as a player,"

Schaub has a disadvantage Week 5
Posted in Fantasy Football by Gridiron 88 days ago (http://feeds.cbssports.com)
Houston QB Matt Schaub heads into Week 5 against Oakland with a huge disadvantage. He's likely to be without top receiver Andre Johnson for the game. That definitely hinders Schaub's value considering Johnson is one of the game's best. Instead, Schaub will be throwing to Kevin Walter and Jacoby Jones against the Raiders. Oakland is allowing the seventh-most Fantasy points per game to opposing qua

Indianapolis coach Jim Caldwell said Wednesday that Curtis Painter remains the Colts' starting quarterback heading into Week 5 against Kansas City. Painter made his first NFL start in a 24-17 loss at Tampa Bay Monday night. Fellow QB Kerry Collins (concussion) was waiting to be cleared to resume practicing with the team after not playing against the Buccaneers. “Right now, Curtis is our star
Daniels looking for 4th straight with TD

Houston TE Owen Daniels enters Week 5 against Oakland having caught a touchdown pass in three consecutive games. Daniels, who went for 69 yards on five catches with a score Week 4 against Pittsburgh, could be leaned on by QB Matt Schaub in the Week 5 game. The Texans will be without receiver Andre Johnson, and Daniels stands to benefit. Daniels only caught one pass for 8 yards against the Raiders
Walter with more on his shoulders
Posted in Fantasy Football by Gridiron 89 days ago (http://feeds.cbssports.com)
Houston WR Kevin Walter could be in line for a nice Fantasy boost in Week 5 against Oakland. That is because the Texans will be without starting receiver Andre Johnson for the game. Walter will start opposite Jacoby Jones for Matt Schaub and the Texans. Of course, Walter did not make a single catch in Week 4 against Pittsburgh, and only has four catches all year for 49 yards and a touchdown. Faci
Wallace seeks home cooking

After finishing with his lowest receiving output of the season last Sunday, Pittsburgh WR Mike Wallace will look to rebound at home in Week 5 against Tennessee. Wallace was limited to just four receptions for 77 yards in a loss at Houston -- his first game under 100 yards this season. He is averaging a sterling 113.5 receiving yards per game and is aiming to extend his streak of outings with 100-
Tolbert finding niche in offense
Posted in Fantasy Football by Gridiron 89 days ago (http://feeds.cbssports.com)
The Chargers have two running backs -- Mike Tolbert and Ryan Mathews -- that can get the job done. But through four weeks of the season, Tolbert has found a niche in the offense. His 25 receptions leads all running backs in the AFC. He has 15 touchdowns (13 rushing, two receiving) over his last 18 games. Tolbert and the Chargers face the Broncos in Week 5, a team he's taken the field against four
Johnson to run it up on Steelers?
Posted in Fantasy Football by Gridiron 89 days ago (http://feeds.cbssports.com)
Tennessee RB Chris Johnson has been an enigma this season as he rushed 46 times his first three games for a grand total of 98 yards without a touchdown. Johnson turned things around a bit Week 4 at Cleveland with 23 rushing attempts for 101 yards. Johnson said after last game that he's playing with more confidence now, entering Week 5 at Pittsburgh. That said, Johnson, even when he was leading th

Rams DB Bradley Fletcher suffered a torn ACL in practice Wednesday and is expected to miss the rest of the season, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Fletcher was covering WR Mike Sims-Walker on a pass play and landed awkwardly on his right knee. An MRI reveled the ACL injury. "I feel bad for him," Rams coach Steve Spagnuolo told the newspaper. "Another rehab. ... Tough business."
Ringer getting tuned out?
Posted in Fantasy Football by Gridiron 89 days ago (http://feeds.cbssports.com)
Tennessee RB Javon Ringer scored a touchdown Week 2 against Baltimore in his first action of the season. Although starting RB Chris Johnson has struggled for much of this year, Ringer only managed 2 rushing yards in his next two games on 10 carries against Denver and at Cleveland. Heading into Week 5 at Pittsburgh, and coming off Johnson's best week, not much is expected of Ringer. Plus, in two c
