Mr. Destiny’s Fantasy Football 2011: Saturday Lineup News Week 9

Nov 5, 2011

.
The biggest news to come out on Friday was the fact Peyton Hillis will be out on Sunday and for at least 2 weeks. This leaves Chris Ogbonnaya and newly signed Thomas Clayton as the only two options this week. Neither is worth your time or consideration as a pick up unless you are desperate. The Texans defense is a great play against an already anemic offense.
.
Darren McFadden will miss Sunday unless something drastically changes overnight. Mike Bush and Taiwan Jones become the two feature backs.
.
The news on Ryan Mathews has been negative since he has not practiced all week but Friday coaches believed he could be available Sunday. He will be a game time decision and put you in a bind. Make sure you check before kickoff on his status. I still see Mike Tolbert getting at least half or more of the carries regardless of Mathews status.
.
Kevin Kolb is officially Doubtful and it looks like John Skelton will get the nod. In 4 starts with Skelton, Larry Fitzgerald has racked up 348 yards with a score. Not a bad play regardless of the QB, but it’s not like you would bench Fitz anyway.
.
Felix Jones is officially OUT this game so Demarco Murray will continue as the starter and word is he will split carries evenly with Jones once healthy.
.
Sam Bradford is officially a game time decision and there were reports Mark Clayton would be activated off the PUP list as well. Still nothing official, but I think they are waiting on Bradford to return and they will activate him.
.
Plaxico Burress injured his back this week and is listed as a game time decision. He has a day to rest so I expect him to be available. This is a big divisional game which the Jets need all their horses on the field.
.
Andre Johnson has been reported as OUT for this game so expect a heavy dose of Arian Foster once again. 25 carries could be a reasonable projection which means plenty of points.
