 Browns Offense-TM- Browns Nov. 21 - 9:00 pm et

Mike Holmgren said he would be interested in a job with the Browns.
Holmgren is reportedly the leading candidate to become the Browns' "football czar." He claims he hasn't yet spoken to owner Randy Lerner even though Browns executive adviser Jim Brown hinted at that. It's unclear if Holmgren wants to coach again.
 Devery Henderson-WR- Saints Nov. 21 - 7:59 pm et

Beat writer Jeff Duncan "guesses" that Devery Henderson will return punts for the Saints Sunday.
With Reggie Bush, Tracy Porter and Lance Moore both out, the Saints will likely turn to Henderson. It would be dangerous to use Pierre Thomas or Darren Sharper for health reasons. Henderson has never returned a punt in his NFL career.
 Peyton Hillis-RB- Broncos Nov. 21 - 7:54 pm et

Broncos beat writer Mike Klis speculates that Peyton Hillis could have an increased role this week.
With LaMont Jordan out, Correll Buckhalter gimpy and Chris Simms possibly under center, it would make sense for Hillis to be active and get work. But Hillis was a healthy scratch last week and he has been a lost man in coach Josh McDaniels' backfield. Don't expect much.

 Kyle Orton-QB- Broncos Nov. 21 - 7:35 pm et

As of Saturday afternoon, Kyle Orton's left ankle had not recovered enough to play Sunday, according to the Denver Post.
This does not mean that Orton is out for Sunday's game against the Chargers. He'll still test the ankle Sunday morning to see if he can go. But considering this is a 4:15 ET start, you should not be waiting on this situation in any leagues. Chris Simms took the first-team reps all week and will start if Orton sits.

 Jon Alston-LB- Raiders Nov. 21 - 6:02 pm et

Raiders SLB Jon Alston was added to the injury report Saturday with an illness.
Alston is listed as questionable. He's suffered two concussions since Oct. 11 and it's unknown if this "illness" is related. Alston was splitting time with Sam Williams on the strong side.

 Bills Offense-TM- Bills Nov. 21 - 5:18 pm et

The Bills will not make any hires until after the season, according to WIVB in Buffalo.
The TV station stands by their earlier report that Jon Gruden was the top choice to replace Dick Jauron, but now admits there was no face-to-face meeting. The Bills will hold informal talks during the rest of the 2009 campaign, but interim coach Perry Fewell will captain the ship.

 Andre Johnson-WR- Texans Nov. 21 - 5:02 pm et

Andre Johnson denied an ESPN The Magazine report that he plans to force a trade if the Texans don't make the playoffs.
Johnson's uncle and agent, Andre Melton, made the claims. "That didn't come from me. ... I make my own decisions, and I plan on being here until I retire," Johnson said. Johnson signed an eight-year, $60 million contract in March of 2007 and it's very unlikely he's going anywhere before that deal is up. The Texans are at 5-4 right now but still have a solid shot at making the postseason for the first time in franchise history.
 Joshua Cribbs-WR- Browns Nov. 21 - 4:39 pm et

Josh Cribbs' agent says he will play Sunday against the Lions.
Coach Eric Mangini also said that he expects Cribbs to suit up despite the neck injury that caused Cribbs to be carted off the field last Monday. Cribbs is not a fantasy option, but it's good news for the Browns that they'll have one of their few playmakers.

 Paul McQuistan-G- Jaguars Nov. 21 - 4:27 pm et

Jaguars signed OL Paul McQuistan.
The former Raiders' bust is getting another shot after being waived on Nov. 9. He'll give the Jags some depth at both guard and tackle.
 Brian Russell-DB- Jaguars Nov. 21 - 4:23 pm et

Jaguars released S Brian Russell.
Ruseell, 31, isn't even needed in the secondary with Rashean Mathis (groin) out.
 Justin Gage-WR- Titans Nov. 21 - 3:31 pm et

Justin Gage (back) is officially out for Monday's game against the Texans.
Gage hasn't played since taking a hard fall against the 49ers on Nov. 8. Kenny Britt will start his second straight game but the rookie had just two catches and four targets last week.
 Ryan Moats-RB- Texans Nov. 21 - 2:58 pm et

Ryan Moats will come off the bench against the Titans on Monday night.
Steve Slaton has his starting job back as the Texans come out of their bye. Expect Moats to still be part of the committee, but this is obviously a blow to his value. He's not a fantasy option unless Slaton starts putting the ball on the ground again.
 Steve Slaton-RB- Texans Nov. 21 - 2:05 pm et

Steve Slaton will start for the Texans against the Titans on Monday night.
We thought that Slaton would have to prove he can hold on to the ball before getting his starting job back, but coach Gary Kubiak is apparently convinced. Slaton's role was due to grow anyway because he's clearly their best back, but this a great sign that he has his coach's confidence. Look for Slaton to still share carries with Chris Brown and Ryan Moats, but we like him as a solid flex play this week.
 Jacoby Jones-WR- Texans Nov. 21 - 1:41 pm et

Texans coach Gary Kubiak confirmed that Jacoby Jones (calf) will be a game-time decision for Monday night's game against the Titans.
Jones did "a little more" in Saturday's practice, but he was still limited. It's a tough break for Jones as he caught four passes in Week 9 and looked like he was heading toward a significant role as the No. 3 receiver. Now he may be reduced to a return role Monday night.
 Jerome Harrison-RB- Browns Nov. 21 - 1:24 pm et

Jerome Harrison is refusing to talk to the media because he might say what he really thinks.
Harrison clearly isn't happy that he's been passes on the depth chart by Chris Jennings. Coach Eric Mangini didn't give any real reason for Harrison getting zero carries against the Ravens on Monday night, simply saying that different packages are for different runners. Even though Harrison flashed potential when Jamal Lewis was out earlier this season, he can now be safely dropped in all leagues.
 Willis McGahee-RB- Ravens Nov. 21 - 1:19 pm et

Ravens coach John Harbaugh said he plans on using Willis McGahee this week.
"Willis is a very good player. I think there's a good chance you'll see a lot of Willis this weekend," Harbaugh said. McGahee had 13 carries last week while Ray Rice had 20, but we're not worried about Rice's workload. Harbaugh has said before he wants to get Willis more work and it hasn't happened. McGahee remains a strict handcuff to Rice.

 Todd Heap-TE- Ravens Nov. 21 - 1:10 pm et

Todd Heap (ribs) missed practice every day this week and he is considered unlikely to play.
Heap is a game-time decision, but expect L.J. Smith to get the start. Heap confirmed that his rib is not cracked or broken, making a return to the lineup for Week 12 very possible. Don't use either of the Ravens' tight ends in fantasy.

 Julian Edelman-WR- Patriots Nov. 21 - 12:34 pm et

Julian Edelman will wear a carbon-fiber shield on his right forearm for the second straight game Sunday.
Edelman is listed as questionable, but he's going to play. The shield is not a cast as he can slip it on and off. Edelman is not a fantasy option as he saw just two targets last week as the No. 3 receiver.
 Tyrell Sutton-RB- Panthers Nov. 21 - 12:28 pm et

Panthers RB Tyrell Sutton has caught the eye of coach John Fox.
Sutton was on the field for some crunch-time plays during Thursday's loss because of his pass-catching skills. He ended up with two catches for 18 yards and also added four punt returns for 106 yards. Obviously, snaps for Sutton are going to be extremely limited behind DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart.
 Landon Johnson-LB- Panthers Nov. 21 - 12:23 pm et

Panthers WLB Landon Johnson has a knee sprain but doesn't need surgery, according to coach John Fox.
Johnson was injured in the fourth quarter of Thursday's loss to the Dolphins. It's remarkably yet another injury to a Panthers' front seven that has been ravaged this season. Johnson was already filling in for Thomas Davis (injured reserve, knee).
