Fantasy Football: Week 11

One of the top storylines heading into Fantasy Football in Week 11 is the suspension of wide receiver - Dwayne Bowe.
As for the rest, lets break it down...
STUDS OF WEEK 10
QB: Peyton Manning, Tom Brady and Donovan McNabb
RB: Chris Johnson, Steven Jackson and Beanie Wells ( Wells/Hightower), Adrian Peterson and Reggie Bush pretty good, too
WR: Randy Moss, Brandon Marshall, Reggie Wayne and Sidney Rice
TE: Bad week for TEs -- Kellen Winslow and Brent Celek both tops with 10 FPTS ... odd names in top 10: Will Heller, Kory Sperry, Justin Peelle, Todd Yoder
D: Titans (what a turnaround!), 49ers and Bengals
DUDS OF WEEK 10
QB: Jay Cutler, Ben Roethlisberger, Alex Smith
RB: Pierre Thomas, Rashard Mendenhall and Marion Barber
WR: Vincent Jackson, Marques Colston, Nate Burleson and Santana Moss
TE: Vernon Davis, Zach Miller and Brandon Pettigrew
D: Eagles, Patriots and Steelers (been giving up a ton of return TDs)
TOP STORIES
Thursday game: Miami Dolphins @ Carolina Panthers
Injuries, injuries, injuries (Michael Turner, Ronnie Brown, Cedric Benson, Brian Westbrook, Julius Jones, oh my!)
Belichick decision in the Sunday night game ... just if it interests you
Maurice Jones-Drew pulls "a Westbrook"
Larry Johnson to sign with Bengals as a backup
INJURIES
Joseph Addai (finger): finished SNF game, but was set to be evaluated Monday
Cedric Benson (hip)
Ronnie Brown (ankle, foot): Unlikely to play being that it's a Thursday game
Julius Jones (bruised lung): Very unlikely he's going to play
Troy Polamalu (knee): Speculation is he'll miss a few games
Clinton Portis (concussion)
Steve Smith (ribs): Only a bruise, expected to play Thursday
Michael Turner (ankle): Sounds like a high ankle sprain, could sit Week 11
Brian Westbrook (concussion))
Keenan Burton (knee): out for the season (on IR), Brandon Gibson now starts
Jermichael Finley (knee)
Jordan Gross (ankle): Has broken right ankle that likely ends his season, and he was the anchor of the Panthers' O-line -- protected Delhomme's blind side
Greg Jennings (knee): right knee contusion, could be limited in practice
Kyle Orton (ankle): Of note, Chris Simms was dreadful in relief of an injured Orton
Darren Sharper (knee): this secondary has been ravaged by injuries, as at one point in Week 10, only SS Roman Harper remained from the starting lineup
Jonathan Stewart (heel)
PICKUPS
Justin Forsett, Jason Snelling, Donnie Avery (actually available in more than 50% of ESPN leagues), Robert Meachem, Brandon Gibson (deeper leagues), Marc Bulger (matchups!), Tony Scheffler
To note: LeSean McCoy is owned in 93.0% of ESPN leagues, Ricky Williams 97.8%, so, uh, you're not going to be getting either of them as free agents

Just started watching your show a couple of weeks. Love it!! Can you help me out. I've got turner and Benson hurt, should I pick up Scott (cincy) to go with Gore?
Hi Anita (You good looking Woman)
Thanks for doing your show.
I like the Blitz show and have found it very helpful in my fantasy leagues.
I have a question regarding the scheduling of your Fantasy Blitz show.
Since you produce the show on Tuesdays and it airs for the 1st time on Thursdays. Some of The NFL games have already been played or are playing during the broadcast.
Is it possible to air the show a couple of times on Wed's or maybe on Thursdays BEFORE the games. Your show gives guys like me an early advantage in picking up wavier wire help.
I realize you probably don't have any say over the Air times, but I would appreciate it if the schedule could be more user freindly.
Thanks go's out to all the Fantasy Guru's on your show
Tony
