Pierre Garcon (ankle) is expected to play on Sunday despite sitting out practice on Friday, according to the Indianapolis Star.

Our View
Friday was believed to be a day of rest more than anything else for Garcon. Averaging just 41.9 yards receiving per game this season, he is nothing more than an emergency bye week fill-in for fantasy purposes. ]]> http://ownersedge.fanball.com/nfl/player/7294/notes#67634 http://ownersedge.fanball.com/nfl/player/7294/notes#67634 Sat, 07 Nov 2009 10:59:47 CST The News
Adam Vinatieri (knee) will likely return some time in "late" December, according to the Indianapolis Star.

Our View
If for some absurd reason you have been keeping him on your bench, there is absolutely no need. He's no longer even a top-flight fantasy kicker. ]]> http://ownersedge.fanball.com/nfl/player/814/notes#67633 http://ownersedge.fanball.com/nfl/player/814/notes#67633 Sat, 07 Nov 2009 10:57:21 CST The News
Donald Brown (shoulder) is expected to play on Sunday despite missing practice on Friday, according to the Indianapolis Star.

Our View
Brown hurt the shoulder against the Rams in Week 7, and sat out against the 49ers last Sunday. He's not much of a fantasy play, but does give the Colts' offensive an overall boost. ]]> http://ownersedge.fanball.com/nfl/player/7759/notes#67632 http://ownersedge.fanball.com/nfl/player/7759/notes#67632 Sat, 07 Nov 2009 10:55:18 CST The News
Responding to recent criticism levied by Dolphins linebacker Joey Porter, Tom Brady says he doesn't believe that he receives preferential treatment from NFL referees, according to the Boston Globe.

Our View
"I think the ref calls what he sees," he said. "I don't think I've ever influenced a call. The refs we have are very good. If they make a call on (roughing the passer), great. If they don't, that's fine." A diplomatic response from Brady - also a false one. ]]> http://ownersedge.fanball.com/nfl/player/3477/notes#67631 http://ownersedge.fanball.com/nfl/player/3477/notes#67631 Sat, 07 Nov 2009 10:33:52 CST The News
Jack Williams has been waived by the Denver Broncos.

Our View
He became expendable once the team signed Ty Law. He had 14 tackles and zero interceptions in seven games. ]]> http://ownersedge.fanball.com/nfl/player/7304/notes#67630 http://ownersedge.fanball.com/nfl/player/7304/notes#67630 Sat, 07 Nov 2009 10:25:47 CST The News
Nick Harper (forearm) is not expected to play on Sunday against the 49ers, according to the Nashville Tennessean.

Our View
This would be the third straight game he's missed. He's made a difference in the five games he has played in, racking up 38 tackles. ]]> http://ownersedge.fanball.com/nfl/player/4040/notes#67629 http://ownersedge.fanball.com/nfl/player/4040/notes#67629 Sat, 07 Nov 2009 09:49:28 CST The News
David Stewart (hamstring) is expected to play on Sunday despite missing practice on Friday, according to the Nashville Tennessean.

Our View
He's one of Chris Johnson's main blockers, so this is obviously good news, especially considering that the Titans will be going up against the NFL's second ranked run defense in the 49ers this weekend. ]]> http://ownersedge.fanball.com/nfl/player/5825/notes#67628 http://ownersedge.fanball.com/nfl/player/5825/notes#67628 Sat, 07 Nov 2009 09:17:41 CST The News
Kevin Boss has been limited in practice while nursing his ankle ailment, but is probable for Sunday's home game against San Diego, according to the Giants' official website.

Our View
Boss should be ready to go, and could have a good outing for fantasy owners - as the Chargers' defense has given up four touchdowns to tight ends over seven games. ]]> http://ownersedge.fanball.com/nfl/player/6656/notes#67627 http://ownersedge.fanball.com/nfl/player/6656/notes#67627 Fri, 06 Nov 2009 23:55:09 CST The News
Ahmad Bradshaw is not practicing while nursing his foot and ankle ailments, but is probable for Sunday's home game against the Chargers, according to the Giants' official website.

Our View
The Giants expect Bradshaw to play, and he could make a nice flex option while the club tries to exploit the Chargers' 27th ranked run defense. ]]> http://ownersedge.fanball.com/nfl/player/6694/notes#67626 http://ownersedge.fanball.com/nfl/player/6694/notes#67626 Fri, 06 Nov 2009 23:50:58 CST The News
Shawne Merriman has been limited in practice with a foot ailment, but he is expected to play on Sunday at New York, according to the Giants' official website.

Our View
Merriman notched his first two sacks of the season last weekend against the rival Raiders, but will be facing a much better team on Sunday - meaning expectations should be tempered in IDP leagues. ]]> http://ownersedge.fanball.com/nfl/player/5706/notes#67625 http://ownersedge.fanball.com/nfl/player/5706/notes#67625 Fri, 06 Nov 2009 23:38:30 CST
