OUCH

Ladies who are new to fantasy football... it is important to keep up to date on injuries after each weekend. Injury reports are not only an indication of who you should and should not play each week, but more importantly, it keeps you posted which secondary players you should pick up. This is very important strategery that new fantasy players do not always take advantage of. Yes, I know, stratgery is not a real word, but it fits well in the previous sentence so I am gonna go with it and so are you! Some no name players who were not drafted could become starters in the blink of an eye and we need to be aware of who those guys are so we can snag them before anyone else on the waiver list does. This weeks' report:

Jevon Kearse cringed as he walked off the field in OT against the Giants. I start with him because he is a defensive player which means this is only important if you have the Eagles D. The Eagles D is looking strong enough this season so far that even with Kearse being gone for the rest of the season you should still start them every week!

TO: Broken finger, Broken ego, keep him on the bench for the next 2-4 weeks but do not drop him. Ladies, if someone in your league dropped TO because of yesterdays hand injury, laugh silently to yourself and then hurry your ass up and pick him up. TO has super healing powers and will probably be back in 2 weeks, knowing him.

Cincinnati lost center Rich Braham to a knee injury, safety Dexter Jackson to an ankle injury, and linebacker David Pollack, who was taken to the hospital for evaluation of an unspecified neck injury. None of these players will produce a "must pick up" back up for your fantasy team but they are certainly things to consider if you have Carson Palmer or the defense that is playing Cincinatti next week.
