 DeMario Pressley-DL- Saints Nov. 7 - 5:27 pm et

Saints signed DT DeMario Pressley off their practice squad.
Kendrick Clancy was placed on injured reserve Saturday, ending his season. Pressley was a fifth-round pick in 2008 will be getting his first big chance after breaking his foot in his rookie training camp.
 Kendrick Clancy-DL- Saints Nov. 7 - 5:22 pm et

Saints placed NT Kendrick Clancy (knee) on injured reserve, ending his season.
It's a pretty big loss for the Saints. Without Clancy, they were gashed by Michael Turner for 151 yards last Monday night. Anthony Hargrove should see more snaps with Clancy done. Clancy is a free agent after this season.

 Bobby Engram-WR- Chiefs Nov. 7 - 5:18 pm et

Chiefs released WR Bobby Engram.
The Chiefs are desperate for someone to emerge opposite Dwayne Bowe and Engram was clearly not the answer. Engram had five catches on the season and at age 36, he has to be thinking he may be near the end of the line.
 Kolby Smith-RB- Chiefs Nov. 7 - 5:16 pm et

Chiefs activated Kolby Smith (knee) from the PUP list.
No surprise here. With Larry Johnson suspended, Smith will play behind Jamaal Charles and could see significant carries. Still, Smith was never that fast and is coming off major knee surgery, so we're not expecting much.
 Steve Slaton-RB- Texans Nov. 7 - 5:05 pm et

Steve Slaton will come off the bench for the Texans Sunday against the Colts.
Owners should hardly give up on Slaton because of the news. He should still get the ball plenty Sunday, although he's not a recommended flex option this week. It would surprise us if Slaton doesn't regain the starting job this season and still provide some big fantasy weeks.
 Ryan Moats-RB- Texans Nov. 7 - 5:02 pm et

Ryan Moats will start at running back for the Texans Sunday, according to ESPN's Bob Holzman.
Holzman got the news from Texans coach Gary Kubiak, and relayed it to Adam Schefter. The news isn't a shock, but certainly helps Slaton's fantasy value in a decent matchup against the Colts. Steve Slaton and Chris Brown will both likely be heavily involved, so Moats is a good, not great, flex option.

 Antonio Bryant-WR- Buccaneers Nov. 7 - 3:31 pm et

Antonio Bryant said the long plane ride home from London was partially to blame for the setback he is having with his knee.
This won't be a ringing endorsement for making the NFL global. Bryant said he fell asleep on the plane while all crunched up, causing his quad to to shrink. Now his knee is swelling again. Bryant also has his money on his mind, as he's playing on a one-year deal right now. "It don't do me no good to play for a game or two and then be right back and have to sit down again," Bryant said. Don't play Bryant this week even if he's active.
 Travis Kirschke-DL- Steelers Nov. 7 - 3:02 pm et

Steelers DE Travis Kirschke (calf) has been officially ruled out for Monday night's game against the Broncos.
Kirschke may not be ready for Week 10 either. Nick Eason will start, with rookies Ziggy Hood and Sunny Harris getting more playing time. The Steelers will likely be without three defensive starters Monday in Ryan Clark, Lawrence Timmons and Kirschke.

 Lawrence Timmons-LB- Steelers Nov. 7 - 2:55 pm et

Steelers ILB Lawrence Timmons (ankle) will not play against the Broncos on Monday Night Football.
Timmons sprained his ankle against the Vikings prior to the Steelers bye and it's obviously worse than the team originally anticipated. Keyaron Fox will replace Timmons in the starting lineup.

 Malcolm Kelly-WR- Redskins Nov. 7 - 2:32 pm et

The Redskins demoted Malcolm Kelly from his starting flanker job in large part because of his route running.
Kelly is blaming the fact that he missed the majority of his rookie year due to a knee injury for his troubles, but the bottom line is he simply isn't a great route runner. His size (6'4/227) was expected to give Jason Campbell a red zone threat, but that hasn't come close to happening. Kelly is not even much of a prospect in dynasty leagues.
 Rhys Lloyd-K- Panthers Nov. 7 - 1:58 pm et

The Panthers could use kickoff specialist Rhys Lloyd as their field goal kicker Sunday if John Kasay (groin) can't go.
We originally thought that the Panthers would have to bring in someone from the outside if Kasay sits, but they haven't worked anyone out. Lloyd has never kicked in the NFL, but did 16-for-23 in his NFL Europe career.

 Kevin Walter-WR- Texans Nov. 7 - 1:42 pm et

Matt Schaub said he "could see [Kevin Walter] catching more balls" with Owen Daniels (knee) out for the season.
Schaub praised Walter for his willingness to go over the middle and his hands, but said that a bunch of guys are going to get more looks. After Daniels went down in the first quarter last week, Walter got six targets for the game. He now has just 29 targets on the season (he missed two games with a hamstring injury). We expect Walter to benefit the most from Daniels' injury and he should be owned in all leagues.
 Chris Davis-WR- Titans Nov. 7 - 1:01 pm et

Titans released WR/KR Chris Davis.
Davis was signed just three days ago to compete for a spot in the return game, but it looks like he's lost out to Alvin Pearman.

 Ronnie Brown-RB- Dolphins Nov. 7 - 12:43 pm et

Dolphins coach Tony Sparano said he's gaining confidence in Ronnie Brown's ability to throw the ball out of the Wildcat.
This is the next step in the evolution of the Wildcat, as Brown must be able to throw out of it in order to keep the secondary honest. Sparano said Brown has been working on throwing regularly. Even if Brown doesn't complete passes, it will help his running game.
 Willis McGahee-RB- Ravens Nov. 7 - 12:26 pm et

ESPN's James Walker speculates that Willis McGahee will see more touches when the weather turns for the worse.
We doubt it. Ray Rice is playing too well to come off the field at any point. McGahee's seven touchdowns in the first four weeks are long forgotten. He should only be on a roster as a handcuff to Rice.

 Pierre Garcon-WR- Colts Nov. 7 - 12:21 pm et

Pierre Garcon (questionable, ankle) is expected to play Sunday despite taking Friday off.
Garcon practiced Wednesday and Thursday before sitting out on Friday. It's a similar situation to Donald Brown in that we doubt Garcon had a setback, but we don't know for sure. Austin Collie is a better play anyway.
 Adam Vinatieri-K- Colts Nov. 7 - 12:16 pm et

Colts K Adam Vinatieri (knee) has been in and out of the locker room and not limping, according to beat writer Phillip B. Wilson.
The Colts still say they expect Vinatieri back sometime in December and he doesn't appear in danger of going on injured reserve. Matt Stover has been a quality fantasy option in the meantime, going 4-for-4 on field goals and 6-for-6 on extra points in the last two weeks.

 Donald Brown-RB- Colts Nov. 7 - 12:00 pm et

Beat writer Phillip B. Wilson expects Donald Brown (questionable, shoulder) to play on Sunday against the Texans.
Brown practiced on Wednesday and Thursday before being given Friday off. It's a rare piece of good news for the Colts this week after learning that they will be without Marlin Jackson and Bob Sanders for the rest of the season. Both Brown and Joseph Addai are unattractive fantasy options this week against the recently stout Texan rush defense. It's worth noting that Wilson isn't sure that Brown didn't have a setback. Be sure to check the inactives Sunday morning.
 Brandon Siler-LB- Chargers Nov. 7 - 11:44 am et

ILB Brandon Siler is likely to start for the Chargers against the Giants on Sunday.
With Kevin Burnett (questionable, ankle) and Tim Dobbins (doubtful, knee) likely out, the third-year man out of Florida will make his first career start. This is good news for the Giants' Brandon Jacobs and Ahmad Bradshaw.
 William Joseph-DL- Raiders Nov. 7 - 11:35 am et

Free agent DL William Joseph visited the Raiders on Friday.
Joseph has been in and out of Oakland over the last two seasons. He was last with the team when they acquired Richard Seymour from the Pats in September. The Raiders' defensive line is healthy, so it was likely just a look-see.
