 Antonio Pierce-LB-GiantsNov. 20 - 8:48 pm et
The Giants announced late Friday that MLB Antonio Pierce will be out indefinitely after a bulging disc was discovered in Pierce's neck.
Pierce was "shocked" by the news. He practiced in full Friday, but felt discomfort afterwards and was hospitalized for tests. An MRI revealed the injury, which may threaten Pierce's season. His loss is a blow to a Giants run defense that has underachieved all year. Chase Blackburn will likely take over in the middle, with Michael Boley now healthy at weak-side linebacker.

 Phillip Buchanon-DB-LionsNov. 20 - 7:47 pm et
Phillip Buchanon and Will James have finally settled in as the Lions' starting cornerbacks.
It only took half a season for Detroit to find the "right" mix. They still have the NFL's No. 32 pass defense. The Lions targeted Buchanon to be their No. 1 corner in the offseason. He was benched early on and has regained his job, but hasn't picked off a pass all year. He has 25 tackles and a forced fumble.

 Brandon Marshall-WR-BroncosNov. 20 - 6:54 pm et
Brandon Marshall (neck, probable) practiced in full again Friday.
Marshall won't miss Week 11, but using him in fantasy leagues is a high-risk, if high-upside move. He'll either be playing with a QB that is hurt (Kyle Orton) or one that looked totally inept in the second half of Week 10 (Chris Simms). We'd take Marshall's upside and use him against San Diego.
 Michael Bush-RB-RaidersNov. 20 - 6:21 pm et
Coach Tom Cable revealed Friday that Michael Bush will be the Raiders' starting tailback in Week 11 against Cincinnati.
Bush started Week 10 and had 119 yards on 14 carries against the Chiefs, but now faces the Bengals' No. 2 rush defense. This is a situation to avoid in fantasy leagues. Justin Fargas got the goal-line carries last Sunday and Darren McFadden's role figures to grow on a weekly basis as he continues to recover from in-season knee surgery. Bush is only a desperate flex play.

 Correll Buckhalter-RB-BroncosNov. 20 - 5:44 pm et
Correll Buckhalter (probable, knee) returned to Broncos practice in full Friday.
The probable tag means the Broncos consider Buckhalter "virtually certain" to be available for his normal role in the offense. However, he saw just two touches last week to Knowshon Moreno's 20 after a first-quarter fumble and may be being weeded out of the offense. Coach Josh McDaniels has shown signs all year that he wants Moreno to take over the featured back role.
 Antonio Gates-TE-ChargersNov. 20 - 5:42 pm et
Antonio Gates (probable, foot) practiced in full again on Friday.
Gates is certain to start Sunday against the Broncos. He's been getting Wednesday practices off to rest the foot he had surgery on prior to the 2008 season. Gates is a top-five fantasy tight end in all formats.
 Matthew Stafford-QB-LionsNov. 20 - 5:22 pm et
Matthew Stafford (probable, knee) returned to a full practice Friday.
This is Stafford's first full practice in over a month, which bodes well for his health and Calvin Johnson's fantasy owners. Stafford was struggling to consistently connect with Calvin while battling his bum knee earlier on.
