- The Jets D/ST were dealt a heavy blow this weekend when they heard that DT Kris Jenkins will miss the remainder of the season. The Jets now have a huge hole in the middle of their defensive line and that doesn't bode well for them with Miami, Jacksonville and Carolina on the schedule soon.

- Cardinals receiver Anquan Boldin is questionable for the Sunday night showdown against the Giants. Boldin is dealing with a sprained right ankle and its unclear just how quickly it will heal. Q is a tough guy and all, but he really shouldn't jeopardize his season playing on it.
- Donnie Avery of the Rams had an MRI on his hip done this week and the results came back negative. They're not sure if he'll be back this week, but his owners should only care about his availability for next week when they play the Lions.
- The Patriots are not saying much about Sammy Morris and his injured knee, but considering his missed the entire game on Sunday and he's missing practice can only lead me to believe he's out for this week against the Bucs. This gives Laurence Maroney a big opportunity to win the starting role again.
- Despite Marion Barber being back up to speed now, Tashard Choice is expected to get a bigger workload.
- Raiders RB Darren McFadden is expected to be back by Week 9.
- Eddie Royal didn't catch a single pass on MNF, yet came away with 12 fantasy points after returning a kickoff and punt for TDs. As neat as it is to have a receiver that can do that kind of thing for you, you really would like to see him catch a few passes.
- New England has seen enough of Joey Galloway. I kind of expected him to be somewhat of a sleeper this year, but he never really learned the offense and never got in sync with his teammates. While a lot of teams could use his services, up to this point, no one has contacted him.
