New York Jets RB, LaDainian Tomlinson suffered a set back during Tuesday’s practice. It doesn’t look like LT will play Thursday night at the Denver Broncos. Backup RB’s Joe McKnight and/or rookie Bilal Powell could be in for touches this week behind lead runner Shonn Greene. See if McKnight or Powell are available in your league waiver pool.
Hello Fantasy Football Fanatics!
Hot news about Houston Texan QB Matt Schaub. Due to the foot injury suffered in week 10 at Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Schaub is out for the season.
For those with Matt Schaub, if you’re hurting for a QB you might want to consider picking up QB Matt Leinart, as he will probably replace Schaub. Hopefully you have another QB on your roster so you don’t have to rely on Leinart.

Breaking news! The New York Jets have traded wide receiver Derrick Mason to the Houston Texans for a future 7th round draft pick.
Is this an indication that Houston’s #1 wide receiver, Andre Johnson, is going to be out longer than expected? Or, are the Texans just adding more depth at the position? Either way, this development needs to be monitored closely.

Kansas City Chiefs OC Bill Muir says the Chiefs will give running back Thomas Jones the ball until his tongue is hanging out. Sounds like Jones is the man to have in your fantasy football lineup if you must use a Kansas City Chiefs running back.

Take this situation with Peyton Manning, quarterback Indianapolis Colts seriously.
I had a cervical fusion myself and I couldn’t imagine playing professional football with that injury. In case you don’t know what they do with that type of injury, I’ll fill you in.
The surgery involves placing a piece of bone between two vertebrae in the neck (could be other parts of the spine too) and allowing them to fuse together. Much like welding two pieces of metal together. The difference is the weld is usually stronger than the original metal. A neck fusion involves bone, not metal. The bone will fuse together and feel okay for a while. As time goes by the bone becomes more susceptible to cracking.
I currently have that exact problem. My vertebrae are developing cracks above and below the two vertebrae that were fused. I ask you, would you want to play professional football and take the hits a quarterback takes with that kind of condition?
I can’t begin to tell you all the complications that can develop.
Draft your fantasy football teams accordingly,

Willis McGahee Running Back Denver Broncos, had a pretty good night against his old team, the Buffalo Bills.
McGahee scored two times, once on a one-yard rush and again on a 13-yard pass. The Bills actually kept McGahee bottled-up all night, only allowing him 6 yards on 5 rushing attempts. McGahee added another 33 yards via two receptions.
