Year-round fantasy news.
According to ProFootballTalk.com, Eagles head coach Andy Reid confirmed RB Brian Westbrook will miss the next three games while doctors continue to evaluate his health after two concussions. There will be no definitive word on whether he plays again this season until the follow up evaluations occur.
FFX Fantasy Takes:
X: I am of the opinion we won't see Westbrook back on the field again this year, but that has obviously not been confirmed yet. Knowing he is out for the next three games means seasonal owners have a decision to make - many variables come into play, but unless you can afford the spot to hold him he should be dropped in most cases. Even if he does return, I don't see him with a full workload again this season.
According to New Orleans Times-Picayune, Reggie Bush missed practice again on Friday and appears unlikely to play at Tampa Bay.
FFX Fantasy Takes:
North End Dirtdogs: It looks like the Saints could be playing it safe with Reggie for the stretch run as he has had multiple knee surguries over the past few seasons. This makes Pierre Thomas an even better start against the terrible TB run defense as Bush was starting to steal some close TD runs. Mike Bell also gets a bump in value this week.
According to MiamiHerald.com, after visiting with foot specialist Dr. Bob Anderson, Dolphins RB Ronnie Brown has decided to undergo surgery to repair the Lisfranc fracture in his right foot.
FFX Fantasy Takes:
Smitty: Brown will have the surgery today, and while he should be back before the 2010 season begins, he will most likely miss 2010 OTAs. Ricky Williams went nuts last night against the Panthers in his Week 11 outing, rushing for 119 yards and three total touchdowns. Ricky is a fine start in Week 12 against the Bills, but it wouldn't be the worst idea in the world to unload Ricky while his value is insanely high (especially in dynasty leagues). Is he still a solid RB2 moving forward? Sure, but if you need a spark to make your playoffs, or if you want buy-low on a struggling fantasy RB1, cash in!
