This was the first of two, and if we're lucky, there could be more. True, Brett Favre turns 40 in a week, the very number that analysts and experts are afraid to say, weary of an old man's bone breaking mid-sentence, but at the same time can't help but blurt out with laughter. That Favre is an old dude, and he can still sling it. Even the Favre (and Packer) faithful found it ...

(No, Brett, your Vikings aren't number one just yet...) While few games lived up to their hype, we were blessed with a classic game between the Baltimore Ravens and New England Patriots on Sunday, while getting the chance to watch history between the Green Bay Packers and Minnesota Vikings on Monday.Still, when it's all said and done, there are five teams who are undefeated after four games, and all of those ...

(This is what McFadden will be doing for a while.) After a terrible game against Houston, in which McFadden rushed for negative yardage on seven carries, the bad news keeps coming in Oakland. In the midst of controversy surrounding their head coach, the Raiders now have to deal with their star running back being injured. McFadden had surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his knee, which should cause him to ...

(Should the Giants sit Manning?) á Giants' Eli Manning May Have Plantar FascitisThis is the injury that was originally reported on Sunday. While it's not guaranteed to make Manning miss any time, taking him out for next week's cakewalk matchup with Oakland would be a smart decision by the coaching staff.Considering the Giants don't have a break until their bye in week 10, it'd be risky to push him that far ...

Instead of waiting until the middle of the week to give you tips on waiver wire wonders, or guys who received new roles and flourished with them, it's probably best to let you in on all the guys who have even an ounce of fantasy potential while the week is fresh in our minds.Take a look at the guys who still won't be on anyone's must-have list, but still could ...

Wes Welker to Face Baltimore RavensIt's about time. Randy Moss was officially off the injury report yesterday, and now you can throw Welker back into your receiving corps mix. Bill Belichick wouldn't play him if he didn't think he could do some damage, so throw him in as your WR3 and let Julian Edelman sit this week out. á Clinton Portis to Play, but Could Lose CarriesDespite going up against the league's 31st ...

Cleveland's James Davis Out For SeasonThis is big, unexpected news, as the rookie looked very sharp in preseason, and was on the verge of getting more carries.With Davis gone, however, Jerome Harrison will step-in as the full-time starter until Jamal Lewis is fully healthy, and Lewis's age and ineffectiveness could eventually lead to Harrison becoming the feature back this season.Harrison put on a solid show against the Ravens last week, ...

Contrary to earlier reports that said Portis participated in practice on Friday, he did not, as his backups, Ladell Betts and Marcus Mason, took all the snaps with the first team. Portis has been battling ankle spurs for weeks, and is now also nursing a calf injury he sustained last week against Detroit. With just over 40 yards rushing against a defense he was projected to destroy in Week Three, Portis ...

Willie Parker "Iffy" With Turf ToeOne decent game, and everyone gets up in a whirl over Parker's foot.While he "seems" to be back on track, this injury could either keep him out of week four, or also slow him down. If he plays, he's sure to split carries with both Rashard Mendenhall and Mewelde Moore because of his injury.LaDainian Tomlinson Fully Participates in PracticeLT appears to be on his way ...

(Can Aaron Rodgers go into Minnesota and beat Brett Favre?) Wrapped up in the switch from Brady Quinn to Derek Anderson in Cleveland or the passing of the torch (due to injury) in Miami from one "Chad" to another?Yeah, me neither.Take a look at the top five story lines heading into week four of NFL action, with some analysis, as well as a fantasy perspective.As if we haven't already been ...
