 Brandon Marshall-WR- Broncos Nov. 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- Raiders Nov. 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- Broncos Nov. 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- Chargers Nov. 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- Lions Nov. 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.
 Jamal Lewis-RB- Browns Nov. 20 - 5:21 pm et

Jamal Lewis (questionable, ankle) was limited in Friday's practice.
Lewis will play against Detroit, but isn't even a good flex play because of his decreasing role in an awful Cleveland offense and declining ability.
 Jermichael Finley-TE- Packers Nov. 20 - 4:58 pm et

Jermichael Finley (knee, probable) practiced in full again Friday.
Finley didn't miss one rep at Packers practice this week. He's worth stashing as a TE2, but wouldn't be a good fantasy start Sunday vs. San Francisco.

 Cary Harris-DB- Bills Nov. 20 - 4:37 pm et

Bills signed DB Cary Harris off their practice squad.
Harris was a sixth-round pick out of USC in April. He's too slow to play corner for most teams, but Buffalo's Tampa 2 scheme suits his skills as a sure tackler. He may also see some action at free safety on the practice field.
 Keith Ellison-LB- Bills Nov. 20 - 4:35 pm et

Bills placed OLB Keith Ellison (quadriceps) on injured reserve, ending his season.
Ellison presumably tore his quads when he went down early this month. 26 in February, Ellison is eligible for free agency in the offseason. He was averaging an outstanding 8.5 tackles per game before the injury, but would be a backup/nickel linebacker on a good team. Ellison doesn't play the run well.
 Stephen Peterman-G- Lions Nov. 20 - 4:30 pm et

Lions placed RG Stephen Peterman (ankle surgery) on injured reserve, ending his season.
By putting him on I.R. with seven games left, the Lions are essentially admitting that Peterman's ankle surgery was extensive. He probably could've came back from a "scope" in a few weeks. Peterman, 28 in January, signed a new five-year deal last offseason. He will likely return as a starter in 2010.

 Eric Fowler-WR- Lions Nov. 20 - 4:28 pm et

Lions signed WR Eric Fowler off their practice squad.
Fowler looked good on the practice field in training camp, but the Grand Valley State product will focus on special teams if he's active on game days.

 Brett Favre-QB- Vikings Nov. 20 - 4:23 pm et

Brett Favre (hip) is listed as probable for Week 11.
he practiced without restrictions Friday after being limited on Thursday and Wednesday. Favre is a top-ten fantasy option Sunday versus Seattle.
 Bernard Berrian-WR- Vikings Nov. 20 - 4:22 pm et

Bernard Berrian (hamstring) was limited in practice again Friday and is listed as questionable for Week 11.
Whether or not Berrian's injury is limiting his explosiveness, he's not a fantasy option against the Seahawks. Berrian hasn't topped 47 yards in six weeks.
 Julian Edelman-WR- Patriots Nov. 20 - 4:19 pm et

Julian Edelman (questionable, arm) was limited in Patriots practice Friday.
Edelman was limited every day this week, but is fully expected to play against the Jets. He's not a WR3 or flex option against a difficult pass defense.
 Pierre Garcon-WR- Colts Nov. 20 - 4:16 pm et

Despite practicing in full Friday, Pierre Garcon is on the injury report as "questionable" for Week 11.
Garcon will still play at Baltimore and shouldn't be limited in any way after practicing fully Thursday and Friday. He remains a mediocre WR3 option.

 Sam Baker-T- Falcons Nov. 20 - 4:09 pm et

Falcons LT Sam Baker (ankle) is on track to return for Sunday's game against the Giants.
Baker has missed Atlanta's last two games. His return is good news for Matt Ryan, who otherwise would've had Will Svitek on his blind side against Osi Umenyiora. When healthy, Baker has been a technician in pass protection.
 Laveranues Coles-WR- Bengals Nov. 20 - 3:56 pm et

Laveranues Coles (head, probable) practiced in full Friday.
Coles will face the Raiders, but isn't a recommended fantasy play.
 Cedric Benson-RB- Bengals Nov. 20 - 3:54 pm et

Cedric Benson (hip) is officially listed as doubtful for Week 11.
Benson missed his third straight practice Friday and will be among the Bengals' inactives at Oakland. Rookie Bernard Scott will draw the start.
 Sammy Morris-RB- Patriots Nov. 20 - 3:50 pm et

Sammy Morris (questionable, knee) indicated Friday that he will be a game-time decision Sunday against the Jets.
Morris is expected back, but the Patriots tell players to be tight-lipped on injuries. "Sore, but I feel good," Morris said. "We'll see Sunday. Just taking it day by day." Morris' role is unclear coming off a month-long knee sprain.
 Josh Wilson-DB- Seahawks Nov. 20 - 3:48 pm et

The Seahawks are expected to be without CB Josh Wilson (concussion) in Week 11 against the Vikings.
It looks like Marcus Trufant will play through his concussion, but Wilson's will keep him out. Wilson had been starting at right corner, where Ken Lucas will now fill in. This is a favorable matchup for the Minnesota passing game.
