Eli Manning will not take part in practice until the end of the week at the best as he will get treatment on his foot with hopes that he can play through the plantar fascia injury he suffered on Sunday.
Eli's chances of playing will depend on his pain tolerance, whichùif you have evidenced by the time when he played with a separated shoulder in 2007ùis quite high.
Peyton Manning has never ...

IÆm going to look at NFL matchups each week and pick five fantasy starters that could be in for a tough week. HereÆs a look at players who could struggle this week.
With the bye weeks upon us, you canÆt necessarily sit the guys on this list unless you have great depth, but expect a drop in production.

Quarterbacks
Tons of talent will be resting this week at the QB position. Drew Brees, Philip Rivers, Aaron Rodgers, and Jay Cutler all are sitting. Hopefully, youÆre matched up with someone in the same boat as you.
Solid Alternatives:Brett Favre û The Old Man gets to face St. Louis. Adrian Peterson will get his, but Favre could throw a couple of TDs before ...

Putting the final piece of your fantasy football puzzle together
IÆve uncovered some guys you can plug in if you are dealing with an injury or tough matchups.
Shaun Hill, QB, San Francisco 49ersùFrank Gore is banged up so Mike Singletary will likely lean on his passing game a bit more this week. Going up against the lowly St. Louis Rams makes Hill an interesting play, especially if your starter is on ...

Time for another edition of Fantasy Football Out on a Limb, in which I scour the rosters to select a player who I feel will outperform a higher profile player in that given week.
I base my decisions on matchups, how the players are trending, and the ever-important hunch. To mix things up IÆll occasionally do some two-on-one matchups or even pit RB or WR duos against each other. Sometimes IÆll ...
Week Four Byes:á Atlanta, Arizona, Carolina, Philadelphia

QuarterbacksMatt Ryan and Kurt Warner are most difficult to replace. McNabb is also on bye, but youÆve already had to deal with that. Jake Delhomme wonÆt leave fantasy teams scrambling.

Jason Campbell, QB, Washington Redskinsá
Campbell had a monster game against Detroit with 340 yards, two TDs, and 21 rushing yards. Every now and again Campbell has an outburst like this and then he disappears.á Couple that with the fact that they lost to the Lions.á
