It is Friday already which means it is time to check in on the weekly Injury Report as we gear up for all of Sunday's games.
-Atlanta Falcons WR Roddy White has returned to the practice field in a limited capacity this week after missing the last two games with a hamstring/high-ankle injury but he is listed as a game-time decision for Week 9. Harry Douglas owners are hoping White misses the game again since the former has absolutely gone nuts since he ascended to the top receiver spot. As far as White is concerned, there is nothing new to say here as he has been an incredible bust given all of his injuries. I wouldn't even play White if he does get cleared to suit up as he has a ton of rust to knock off.
-Buffalo Bills RB C.J. Spiller will likely return to action in Week 9 as he is being listed as probable with his ongoing ankle issues. Bench Spiller outright for now as Fred Jackson remains the better play and the goal-line back.
-Jonathan Stewart will come off the PUP list for Sunday's game which puts a hurting on the value of DeAngelo Williams. Stewart is expected to play about half the snaps Sunday which puts both he and Williams back into RB 3 status.
-New Orleans Saints tight end Jimmy Graham is looking to play more than the 16 snaps he had last week due to his torn plantar fascia in his foot. Graham still caught two touchdown passes last week and seems like he should be fine going forward barring any setbacks.
-New Orleans Saints WR Marques Colston is listed as questionable with a knee injury after missing practice this week. Coltson has not played well the last month as his yards and catches are both down noticeably. Kenny Stills is looking like a top play this week.
-Indianapolis Colts WR Darrius Heyward-Bey is expected to start this week despite being listed as questionable with a hamstring injury. Both Heyward-Bey and T.Y. Hilton are going to be big from this point on with Reggie Wayne finished for the season with a bum hamstring.
-Green Bay Packers WR James Jones returned to practice this past week after missing two games with a leg injury but he is going to be a game-time decision. The fantasy football value of Jarred Boykin depends on Jones not playing and the other factor here is the game is on Monday night. Keep Jones on the bench if you are an owner as the Monday variable makes it risky to wait on this unless you own Boykin also.
-Christian Ponder will start for the Minnesota Vikings Sunday over Josh Freeman. Big deal.
-Houston Texans RB Ben Tate will start Sunday despite broken ribs and starter Arian Foster will be a game-time decision with a hamstring issue. Foster should play as that has been hinted but still watch this closely.
There you have it. As always let us hear what you think.
