I will have the rest of my horrible picks later, but for now….

A. Rodgers is my No. 5 quarterback,  J. Finley is my No. 5 tight end, and the Cowboys are my No. 4 Def.

I would offer some analysis, but my track record in this contest has been awful of late. Instead I give to you this….

Have a good Tday and good luck in your games this week.

Most people have Ron Turner being shown the door at the end of the season. The Chicago Sun Times is reporting that Mike Martz might be his replacement.

A source close to former St.Louis Rams coach Mike Martz, most recently the San Francisco 49ers’ offensive coordinator last season, said the architect of The Greatest Show on Turf might finally be headed to Chicago.

Not a bad move, but I think the Bears struggles on offense have more to do with personnel than scheme. Cutler is simply a bad fit for what the Bears offense is right now. Give Cutler time in the pocket and a better receiving corps and he is one of the better QBs in the league. The problem with Cutler, and this is unlikely to ever change, is that when under pressure he simply isn’t going to throw the ball away…at least not that often. With a better group of wide receivers, like he had in Denver, that isn’t so bad. With the group he has in Chicago, it just isn’t going to work and with that offense line it is going to happen fairly often.

Like the move of Martz to Chicago?

Drop me a line or use the comments if there are more players you want me to track.

QB Ben Roethlisberger Pittsburgh Steelers – Participated fully in Weds practice and is expected to start this week.

QB Kurt Warner Arizona Cardinals – Warner stated in a conference call with reporters today that he expects to start this week.

QB Matthew Stafford – Is listed as doubtful this week. There is an outside shot at him playing this week, but don’t count on it.

RB Michael Turner Atlanta Falcons – Turner returned to practice, but in a limited basis. A promising development for Turner owners, but most reports are targeting a Week 13 return to the line-up.

RB Ahmad Bradshaw New York Giants – Ruled out this Thursday due to an injury to his right ankle. Bradshaw had been nursing a left ankle injury for much of the season.

RB Clinton Portis Washington Redskins – Portis is still have vision problems. The team is talking about him being a possibility to start Week 13, so you can safely assume he will miss this week.

RB Ladell Betts Washington Redskins – Placed on IR.

RB Marshawn Lynch Buffalo Bills – Lynch fully participated in Weds practice.

RB Ryan Grant Green Bay Packers – Grant returned to full practice Tuesday.

WR Calvin Johnson Detroit Lions – Still looking like a game time decision for Johnson.

TE Jason Witten Dallas Cowboys – Witten was limited in practice Weds, expected to be a game time decision.

A couple of new additions to the list. Feel free to use the comments if you want anyone else tracked.

QB Ben Roethlisberger Pittsburgh Steelers – Roethlisberger passed concussion tests on Monday and is expected to start according to head coach Mike Tomlin.

QB Kurt Warner Arizona Cardinals – Warner is to undergo a baseline test for the concussion he suffered last week. Reports seem to indicate he will start, but I’m starting to see some people hedge their bets a bit.

QB Matthew Stafford – Stafford was held out of Tuesday practice.

RB Clinton Portis Washington Redskins – Portis is having vision problems related to his concussion. There is talk that he could go on the IR.

RB Ladell Betts Washington Redskins – The Redskins placed Betts on the IR after he suffered a torn MCL and ACL this past week.

RB Marshawn Lynch – Lynch is listed as day-to-day with a shoulder injury.

RB Ryan Grant – Grant returned to full practice Tuesday.

WR Calvin Johnson – Has knee and hand injuries and was held out of Tuesday practice. Look for a game time decision for Johnson.

TE Jason Witten Dallas Cowboys – Witten has a foot injury and was limited in practice Tuesday. He will be a game time decision.

Anybody who watched the Titans/Texans game last night had to come away impressed with Vince Young. I doubt that he will ever have much of an impact on fantasy football unless the Titans change the offensive philosophy some, but at this point you have to say he is a very good NFL quarterback. A lot of credit is going to Young for the Titans recent turnaround and for good reason, but what about Jeff Fisher. The PTI guys seem to think so.

Through the Titans first six weeks Fisher said over and over that the Titan’s struggles weren’t because of Collins. While the team’s struggles weren’t all on Collins, he should be taking equal blame. He was supposed to take care of the ball and stay out of the running game’s way. He responded with only five touchdowns and eight interceptions before Fisher finally got word from Adams that Young needed to be starting.

Shorter blog post…Yes, Fisher deserves a ton of credit for the Titans going 0-6.

A rundown of the injuries that I will be tracking this week. I’ll update this each morning starting Weds. If you have an additional player you want thrown into the mix feel free to add him in the comments.

QB Ben Roethlisberger Pittsburgh Steelers – Roethlisberger left Sunday’s game with ‘concussion-like symptoms’. Reports are that the Steelers expect him to play this week.

QB Kurt Warner Arizona Cardinals – Warner suffered a minor concussion last week and missed the second half as a precautionary move. All reports indicate that Warner will start this week.

RB Clinton Portis Washington Redskins – Portis is having vision problems related to his concussion. There is talk that he could go on the IR.

RB Ladell Betts Washington Redskins – The Redskins placed Betts on the IR after he suffered a torn MCL and ACL this past week.

RB Marshawn Lynch – Lynch is listed as day-to-day with a shoulder injury.

RB Ryan Grant – Grant suffered a stinger last week. The Packers didn’t have practice, but said if they did Grant wouldn’t have participated.

Any and all embarrassing errors can be blamed on the noon kick-off for the OSU/Michigan game.

 Andy Reid has to start running the ball more. Donovan McNabb throwing the ball 55 times in a game is great for McNabb owners, but not so good for Eagles fans. I won’t say that it cost the team a game, as it did when they faced the Oakland Raiders, but it certainly didn’t help matters.  When your quarterback is asking for you to run the ball, things might be close to getting out of hand.

Donovan McNabb was asked about the way TV cameras caught him, after one of the Eagles’ failed red zone excursions, turning toward the sideline and seeming to yell “just run the ball,” or something similar.

I think the most impressive thing is how well the Eagles passing game worked last week considering that there was zero threat of the team actually runnning the ball.

The Bears have done well defending against the running back postion over the last five weeks of the season, but have given up 4.4 yards per carry. L. McCoy makes a decent No. 2 running back this week, but only if they actually run the ball.

QB Kyle Orton Denver Broncos – Orton missed practice on Thursday as Chris Simms took the first team snaps. Orton will push to start, but this looks like a gametime decision.

RB Ronnie Brown Miami Dolphins – The Dolphins placed Brown on the IR ending his season.

RB Julius Jones Seattle Seahawks – Jim Mora ruled out Jones for this week’s game.

RB Michael Turner Atlanta Falcons – Turner missed Thursday practice. He hasn’t been ruled out, but is unlikely to play this week.

RB Clinton Portis Washington Redskins- Portis has been ruled out of this week’s game and could miss next week as well. He is still feeling the effects from the concussion he suffered and has yet to return to practice.

RB Cedric Benson Cincinnati Bengals – Benson sat out Thurs practice. He has not been ruled out but it will be a surprise if he plays this week.

RB Brian Westbrook Philadelphia Eagles – There is no timetable for Westbrook’s return.

Obviously part of the big story this week is the Dolphins placing Ronnie Brown on the IR. Ricky Williams gets an

 automatic bump in value and goes from a typical flex option to a weak No. 1 running back. Brown was a top 10 running back prior to his injury in most leagues, but I wouldn’t assign the same value to Williams at this point. The biggest factor is what changes are made to the Dolphins Wildcat offense. Williams will still be involved in the offense, but I look for Pat White to assume Brown’s role in the offense which limits Williams value somewhat. It will also be interesting to see if the number of Wildcat snaps in the team’s offense changes with Brown missing.

Something else to keep an eye on is that Williams hasn’t carried the workload that he is expected to in some time. Granted he hasn’t put that much mileage on his body due to his little vacation from the league and playing second string to Brown, but it is still something to watch down the road.

What do you think? Is Williams now a legit No. 1 RB?
