Brian Westbrook suffered another concussion against the Chargers on Sunday. This is his second in a very short time. For his sake, I hope the Eagles keep him on the bench for a while. If you can grab him, picking up LeSean McCoy is a good move. He is not available on the wire in most leagues, but you might be able to trade for him cheap
Michael Turner suffered a sprain and did not return Sunday. Bad blow for his owners. Keep an eyes on the injury and how bad it is. Snapping up Jerious Norwood is a good move. But another good move is to offer Turner owners a couple 2nd tier guys for the injured Turner. If you can afford the move, Turner could be back just in time of the playoff run.
Kyle Orton injured his ankle again and will be out a week for sure. Impact is not for starting fantasy QBs, but Orton was a solid match up guy, proven by his start against a weak Redskins defense. Without the injury, he was in line for a big day. Chris Sims has no value as a back up.
Clinton Portis is still out and LaDell Betts did well in his place. Keep an eye on how long Portis is out.
I didn't see what happened to Julius Jones in Seattle, but Justin Forsett had a great game in his place. He is definately worth a wire pick up.
Cedric Benson looked to have injured his leg or hip against the Steelers on Sunday. He tried make a go of it, but was noticably slower and hobbled. I don't know the severity. His backup also got nicked up, Bernard Scott. Brian Leonard is worth a short term look if Benson and Scott are both out.
What's Up? Other guys to look at:
Roy Williams - Even with his drops and fumble, you cannot miss the fact that Romo is starting to look for Williams. Without the screw ups, his already solid day (105 and a score) could have been much better.
Pierre Garcon - Garcon is becoming the secondary WR the Colts have been missing with Gonzales out. Dallas Clark has really picked up that roll, but teams are trying to take him away with double coverages. It was inevitable that Garcon or Collie step up.
Chris Chambers - Chambers posted another solid game, if not as spectacular as the last week. If Tod Haley gets his wish, he will transform Kansas City into Arizona East, with not quite the talent. Chambers could move into the Boldin role opposite Dwayne Bowe.
Shrewd move with potential. If you can snag AP's back up, Chester Taylor for little or no cost, if an injury to Petersen happens, Taylor could be a gold mine.
