Matt Jones will probably get his suspension handed down this week. Jack Del Rio has stated publicly that he will employ a WR committee to fill in the gap left by Jones so don't expect too much production from any Jag WR in his absence. Jones will be suspended for 3 games unless his appeal manages to drop that number down.
Jason Witten has a broken rib and bruised organs......and claims he wants to play this week. Although its possible he will be able to play a full game through the pain, I wouldn't count on it. If you have another TE1 option you may want to throw them into your lineup this week and keep witten on the bench.
Daunte Culpepper is supposedly in contract negotiations with the Lions. The only thing I'm really drawing from this action is that the Lions don't trust Drew Stanton at all. I have been a Stanton supporter up till this point, but this is bad news for the 2nd round QB. Calvin Johnson should have relatively stable value under any of the Lions QB's, but will remain in the low level WR1 production range for the remainder of the season.
Aaron Rodgers is still have some trouble with his throwing shoulder. He is not fully practicing but will be playing this week. Keep him in your lineups.
Drew Brees is playing like a madman. He is still on pace for over 5100 yards and 30 TDs this season. He is throwing to a huge variety of receivers, and is clearly seeing the field in slow motion this season. This spread of the ball is bad for Colston owners but it opens up a lot of other options in the Saints receiving core. Devery Henderson is a bye week flex fillin, Lance Moore is a PPR WR2 at the moment, Shockey should have some strong games later this season. Meachem hasn't really shown up yet, I still believe in him so now would be a good time to grab him from a frustrated owner (or snag him off waivers) and stash him for next year.
Michael Bush didn't get a healthy amount of carries this week even with Darren Mcfadden out. This is partly due to the fact that they were playing the Ravens, and partly to general Raiders incompetance, but in the end it leaves a sour taste in the mouth of Bush's owners. Bush has the skillset to be an every down back for some team in the league, but he will probably not get a solid opporunity until he gets out of Oakland. You can't do much right now except stash him away and hope for the future. He is too talented to let hang out on the waiver wire.
