Eli Manning:
The injury to his heal is not too serious and is going to be more of an annoyance to Manning then an actually painful or career threatening. He is on my fantasy football team so I am definitely keeping a close eye on this one. If Eli is not able to play then the backup is going to be David Carr who I think is capable enough to beat the worthless offense and very basic defense Raiders.
Fred Taylor:
Out of nowhere Taylor is expected to have ankle surgery on his right ankle on his last carry in the Patriots win over the Ravens according to ESPN.com. This really isn't anything new in regards to Taylor being hurt again in his career. Even when he was younger he was always banged up and rarely finished a whole NFL season and at this point in his career needs a backfield by committee to survive. This is a major blow to the Patriots as he was becoming there consistent run threat as the only back to have a 100-yard game this year. Sucks for u owners who picked him up in fantasy.
Matthew Stafford:
Just when the Lions were starting to find an identity. BAM! Down goes Stafford. It looks like he is 50-50 to play on sunday but this franchise does not want to risk its greatest asset and the first QB to give them a win since 2007. Daunte Culpepper as a backup is by no means anything bad as he brings experience and a strong arm to this offense. Since they are playing the Steelers this week it may just be their best bet just to let Culpepper take the beating and let Stafford watch.
