Bling (11:05) Per John Clayton, Pierre Thomas to be active but not very active.

Bling (11:07) According to NFL.com, Matt Cassel to start.

Bling (11:10) Surprising nobody, McNabb isn’t starting according to NFL.com.

Bling (11:13) Antonio Bryant hasn’t traveled with the Bucs this week. LaDainian Tomlinson is out as well.

Bling (11:28) Lots of reports on Willie Parker struggling with a hamstring injury last week. He is, reportedly, 100 percent this week. IMO, the problem was more the Steelers OL last week than Parker.

Bling (11:34)  Ken Murray at Ravens Insider has a primer on Ravens to watch in the Ravens/Chargers game.

Derrick Mason will wear out the Chargers in the intermediate pass game, but Clayton has a chance to have a big day deep against their weak secondary.

Bling (11:41) Bernard Berrian is a no-show on the Vikings injury report and is 100 percent.

Bling (11:45) ESPN reporting Wes Welker is out this week.

Bling (11:50) Both Boldin and Breaston are active for the Cardinals this week.

Bling (11:53) Justin Fargas is listed as inactive this week. Fargas is healthy, but the Raiders don’t need him with both Bush and McFadden on the roster and healthy.

Bling (11:57) Kevin Walter is listed as inactive for the Texans.  With Andre’ Davis out as well, Jacoby Jones looks to be the team’s No. 2 this week.

Bling(12:00) Jamaal Charles listed as inactive for the Chiefs.  Charles is healthy, so it is a bit of a surprise. Larry Johnson should get a big workload this week.

Bling (12:13) Bo Scaife is out for the Titans. Last week, the Titans targeted their TEs 10 times. Crumpler and rookie Jared Cook are there, but I would trust the RBs/WRs to get the dump offs and shorter routes than those two.

Bling (12:33) Adam Shefter says that Jacoby Jones will get the start in place of Walter for the Texans. Jones could make for a decent start if you are hurting at WR or in deep leagues. No word on his return duties this week, but that could be an added bonus depending on your league’s scoring.

Bling (12:41) Chargers DT Jamal Williams has been placed on the IR. Williams is an important part of the Chargers run defense. Give a bump in value to the Ravens RBs.

Bling (12:57) Looks like a wrap with the breaking news prior to kick-off.  Good luck this week.
