 Jameel Sewell - QBDec. 8 - 8:15 am et
Mike London has been named the next head coach at  Virginia.
London spent the last two years with FCS Richmond, guiding them to 24-5 record.  Before that London's background is as a defensive coach, including a stint as the Cavaliers' defensive coordinator in 2006 and 2007.  London is known for his aggressive defenses.

 Mikell Simpson - RBNov. 27 - 5:45 pm et
Virginia running back  Mikell Simpson is questionable Saturday against Virginia Tech after pulling his hamstring in the second half of last week's game against Clemson.
Inserting Simpson into your lineup against the Hokies with a bum wheel is obviously something you don't want to do.

 Jameel Sewell - QBNov. 7 - 6:00 pm et
Virginia quarterback Jameel Sewell was listed as doubtful coming into this week's matchup against Miami, and after warming up before the game he was ruled out with a shoulder injury.
It seems if Sewell is healthy enough to dress for the game and practice that his status for next week's game against Boston College looks good, but hopefully you didn't have him plugged in to start today.

Virginia quarterback Jameel Sewell (shoulder) is listed as doubtful for this week's contest against Miami.
If Sewell is unable to go, Marc Verica will likely get the start.

 Jameel Sewell - QBNov. 2 - 7:00 pm et
Virginia quarterback Jameel Sewell was knocked out of the loss to Duke, was then replaced by Marc Verica only to later return. The Richmond Times reports that Sewell did have x-rays on his chest.
Hopefully Sewell doesn't have anything that will keep him out of action, however no UVA quarterback should receive fantasy consideration at this point.

 Jameel Sewell - QBOct. 21 - 2:00 pm et
Virginia coach Al Groh has given no indication on whether starting quarterback Jameel Sewell (ankle) or running back Mikell Simpson (neck) will play Saturday against Georgia Tech.
Both have indicated their eagerness to play, but at this point we would have to classify them as questionable.

 Jameel Sewell - QBOct. 18 - 9:15 pm et
The Roanoke Times reports that Virginia quarterback Jameel Sewell (ankle) was on crutches following the win over Maryland, though the quarterback said the injury wouldn't keep him out of next week's game with Georgia Tech.
When healthy, Sewell should only receive backup consideration in ACC leagues.

 Javaris Brown - WROct. 13 - 10:30 pm et
The Roanoke Times reports that Virginia is hoping to get wide receiver Javaris Brown back in the lineup after an ankle injury kept him out last week.
Brown's return would bolster an improving offense that has designs on making a late-season push. Still Brown is only an option in ACC leagues.

 Mikell Simpson - RBOct. 13 - 10:30 pm et
Virginia running back Mikell Simpson (neck) is hoping to receive medical clearance that would allow him to play this Saturday at Maryland.
Great news as it was a scary scene when Simpson went down on Saturday and was taken to the hospital. Coming off a four-score performance in the pummeling of Indiana, a healthy Simpson is a solid fantasy option.

 Mikell Simpson - RBOct. 10 - 11:00 pm et
ESPN.com's Heather Dinich reports that Virginia running back Mikell Simpson was taken to the hospital after leaving the field due to a neck injury.
Simpson, who had feeling in his extremities, was in the midst of a great game, with 83 yards and four scores. Hopefully the trip to the hospital was primarily a precaution and we hope that he'll recover quickly.

 Jameel Sewell - QBSep. 19 - 9:15 pm et
For the second consecutive week Virginia quarterback Jameel Sewell threw two touchdowns, this week the touchdown strikes came en route to completing 24 of his 46 passes for 312 yards. Sewell also ran 23 times for 23 yards and two touchdowns.
There is no doubt at this point that Jameel Sewell is the focal point of the Cavalier offense, and potential fantasy owners have to be curious at this point about his increased confidence in Al Groh's new no huddle spread offense. Sewell has led Virginia for two consecutive weeks now with more than 20 rush attempts, but the 46 pass attempts on top of that surely raises at least a few eyebrows.

 Mikell Simpson - RBSep. 18 - 3:30 pm et
Virginia running back Mikell Simpson is considered questionable this week due to an undisclosed foot/leg injury.  
He has seen carries in each of the last two games despite having the same injury status.

Jameel Sewell will remain the starting quarterback for Virginia, who visit Southern Miss this Saturday.
It'd be wise to avoid starting Sewell and his fellow Cavaliers.

 Mikell Simpson - RBSep. 6 - 7:45 am et
With no word on his injury status (foot) many fantasy owners probably avoided playing Virginia running back Mikell Simpson against William and Mary this week. Simpson did indeed play in this contest, but was limited to 32 yards rushing on 5 carries as the entire Virginia offense was shut down by the Tribe.
    Take a wait0-and-see approach with Simpson from here. We touted this running back as a sleeper in the preseason, but it can not be a good thing that Simpson only received five carries. Of course, your offense getting shut down by William and Mary is never a good thing either. TCU coming up next week.

 Keith Payne - RBSep. 4 - 12:00 pm et
The Richmond Times-Dispatch reports that Virginia running back Keith Payne has left the team, and there is no word on whether this is temporary or not.
Payne was expected to have minimal fantasy impact, though his departure will hurt the team's depth at tailback.

 Mikell Simpson - RBSep. 1 - 5:00 pm et
Virginia coach Al Groh hasn't commented on the status of running back Mikell Simpson (foot), though The Roanoke Times speculates that redshirt freshman Torrey Mack could see the start.
Al Groh isn't obligated to speak to injuries until Thursday, thus we'll have to wait and see on this one.

 Torrey Mack - RBAug. 28 - 11:00 am et
Virginia redshirt freshman running back Torrey Mack could potentially start the first game against William and Mary. Mack has been impressive in practice and has good hands, according to coach Al Groh.
We've projected a fairly big fantasy year for Mikell Simpson, but he may find himself sharing time in the backfield with the highly regarded Mack.

 Andrew Devlin - TEMay. 28 - 9:00 am et
Tight end Andrew Devlin has decided to transfer from Virginia and attend Pitt instead. He'll be eligible for the 2010 campaign.
UVA's move to a spread attack was the catalyst to Devlin's decision. The Cavaliers moved the tight end to the defensive side this spring and he just wasn't feeling it.

 Mikell Simpson - RBApr. 21 - 1:45 pm et
Virginia running back Mikell Simpson seems to have regained his form this spring. "Mikell's playing much faster than we saw him play last year," coach Al Groh said.
With Cedric Peerman graduating and Simpson fully recovered from his broken collarbone, he should be big factor this fall.

 Marc Verica - QBApr. 19 - 9:15 pm et
Virginia quarterback Marc Verica was 14-of-19 and passed for 148 yards and a touchdown in the Cavaliers' spring scrimmage on Saturday.
New offensive coordinator Gregg Brandon has installed a no-huddle offense for the 2009 season and Verica seems to be effective in running this new playbook. He was relegated to backup in the last game of the 2008 season, but looks to have regained his starter spot.
