According to Indy Football Report, Colts RB Donlad Brown returned to practice on Wednesday and is currently not listed on the week 9 injury report.
FFX Fantasy Takes:
North End Dirtdogs: There have been conflicting reports about the severity of Brown's shoulder injury sustained in week 7. Some reports said he could miss a few weeks, while others claimed it was just a nagging injury. With Brown returning to practice and not listed on the initial injury report, it looks as though he has a good chance to play this week. Although he is scoring, Joseph Addai is plugging along at 3.3 YPC, so a healthy Brown should inject some explosiveness into the Indy rushing attack. Addai now becomes a riskier play this week with Brown's possible return.
According to the Oakland Tribune, RB Darren McFadden is expected to return to game action vs. Kansas City in week 10.
FFX Fantasy Takes:
North End Dirtdogs: The good news is that DMac is returning from his knee surgery, but his role is yet to be determined. Fargas has been running pretty well recently, so DMac may get eased back into action. If he is available in your league after being dropped, he makes a good add. However, with a horrible passing game and with two other capable backs to share cares with, I'd keep my expectations low. DMac has to prove he is not an injury prone bust in my eyes.
According to AZCardinals.com, Cardinals WR Anquan Boldin didn't practice on Wednesday and could sit out Week 9. When asked about Boldin’s status for this weekend, coach Ken Whisenhunt had this to say: “We’ll do what it is the best interest of the team.”
FFX Fantasy Takes:
Smitty: It sounds like Boldin will sit this one out. This is good news for both Larry Fitzgerald and Steve Breaston owners, though. If Boldin does sit, and nothing is official just yet, Fitz could have one of those 10 reception outings.
