Baltimore Ravens: Despite not being on the injury report at all, Ray Rice was sick and reportedly vomiting on Friday and while expected to play today, he is likely to be less than 100%. Don’t be surprised if we see a lot more of Willis McGahee than usual. Donte Stallworth is Probable with an illness and maybe there’s a flu bug going around? Pittsburgh Steelers: After full participation in practices Thursday and Friday Troy Polamalu is Probable and will start. Polamalu was definitely in need of the extra week off Pittsburgh got as he has been bothered a lot by both an ankle and an Achilles injury. Green Bay Packers: Donald Driver is Probable with the knee injury that has plagued him for weeks now. But he practiced in full all week and will be fine. Although rookie RB James Starks had a breakout game last week the Packers haven’t said they will commit to giving him the bulk of the load this week. However, they’d be foolish not to as he finally gave their offense the rushing attack complement to their already awesome passing attack last week. I love being right about a player (as I’ve been on the Starks bandwagon since before he came off the PUP list) but I really wished that they would have gotten him involved much earlier, like when he could have helped out fantasy teams during the regular season. Such is life though and he may be able to help the Packers get to the Super Bowl since he has fresh legs at a time of the season when many defensive players on opposing teams have put a lot of time in on theirs. Atlanta Falcons: Despite a ridiculous listing of Questionable with that well documented knee issue he’s played thru since week 9, Roddy White practiced in full Friday and will start without issue. White caught a TD in each of the last 3 games of the regular season and never missed a start with the injury so he will be fine. Seattle Seahawks: After a season where it seemed that every week the Seahawks were listing WR Mike Williams with one injury or another he isn’t on the injury report at all. In fact, the Seahawks only list 2 guys on the entire report! And while they gave WR Ben Obomanu a 3 year contract extension that doesn’t mean he is a lock to start next season. Chicago Bears: Even more surprising than Seattle’s listing of only 2 players on their injury report is that the Bears listed NONE for this week. Chicago is as healthy as it gets this time of year getting back LB Pisa Tinoisamoa back in the starting role after he missed the last several weeks after having minor knee surgery back early in December. New York Jets: Brad Smith is Questionable for this week because of a groin injury suffered last week. Smith is a valuable special teams return man and also runs most of the trick plays on offense the Jets like to run a few times each game, so this is a blow to their potential offensive creativity. CB Darrelle Revis is Probable, but was limited in practices all week because of a lingering hamstring issue. The loss of T Damien Woody to an Achilles injury is going to hurt the OL. New England: If Tom Brady shows up on the injury report one more time I think I’ll throw up. The shoulder and foot injuries never prevent him from playing and neither one is more than an annoyance to him, and not real injuries. TE Aaron Hernandez is Questionable and was limited in practices all week with his hip injury but he is expected to be able to play. He probably won’t handle a full load though and play fewer snaps than fellow rookie TE Rob Gronkowski. WR Deion Branch is also listed as Questionable with his knee boo-boo and was limited in practice all week but he will start without issue. ---- On any given Sunday any fantasy team can beat another, only to still lose Monday night.
