Last updated October 24. * = check status (not necessarily injury status)

Quarterback

1. Drew Brees NO vs. CLE
Note: Threw downfield more against the Bucs, and the Browns should be a similarly inviting target.
2. Aaron Rodgers GB vs. MIN
3. *Tony Romo DAL vs. NYG
Note: Dealing with a bruised left thumb, but should be able to practice this week. He has an extra day to heal, anyway, with the Cowboys playing on Monday night.
Update: Practiced on Wednesday.
4. Philip Rivers SD vs. NE
Note: Sacked seven times by the Rams and had to work without Gates, Floyd and Naanee.
5 (prev. 11.) Tom Brady NE at SD
6. Eli Manning NYG at DAL
7. Ben Roethlisberger PIT at MIA
8. Jay Cutler CHI vs. WAS
9. Kyle Orton DEN vs. OAK
Note: Coming off of his first bad game. I hate what Tim Tebow does to his fantasy value.
10. Joe Flacco BAL vs. BUF
11. *Kevin Kolb PHI at TEN
Note: Michael Vick said in an interview that he expects to sit out again this week. With the Eagles on bye next week, it only makes sense to rest him one more week.
Update: Kolb officially named the starter again, though Vick is fully practicing. *** SUNDAY UPDATE - VICK 3RD QB AGAIN. ***
12. Matt Cassel KC vs. JAC
16. Matt Ryan ATL vs. CIN
Update: Facing a Bengals defense that won't have Jonathan Joseph.
13. Donovan McNabb WAS at CHI
14. (prev. 9.) *Brett Favre MIN at GB
Note: Favre had an awful game, but he said that his elbow wasn't an issue.
Update: (Ankle, right elbow) Limited for Thursday's practice. *** SUNDAY UPDATE - FULL PRACTICE FRIDAY, PROBABLE FOR SUNDAY NIGHT. ***
15. Sam Bradford STL at TB
17. Josh Freeman TB vs. STL
18. Carson Palmer CIN at ATL
19. Matt Hasselbeck SEA vs. AZ
20. *Colt McCoy CLE at NO
Note: If you're the Browns, why would you start anyone but McCoy at this point? He held his own against perhaps the toughest defense in the league, plus the Browns have to play for getting him up to speed for 2011.
Update: Neither Delhomme nor Wallace practiced on Thursday. *** SUNDAY UPDATE - NAMED THE STARTER, DELHOMME INACTIVE. ***
21. *Alex Smith SF at CAR
Note: Had an awful first half but finished strong - connected on his first touchdown longer than 20 yards with his connection to Michael Crabtree.
22. *Vince Young TEN vs. PHI
Note: Sprained his knee on Monday night, but so far the knee is much better than he first feared. Kerry Collins delivered a prototypical "manage the game" performance in Young's absence.
Update: Young didn't practice on Thursday while Collins (finger) returned to practice Thursday after missing Wednesday's walk-through. *** SUNDAY UPDATE - COLLINS WILL START, YOUNG WILL BACK UP. ***
23. Chad Henne MIA vs. PIT
24. *Matt Moore CAR vs. SF
Note: Getting the nod ahead of Jimmy Clausen.
25. Ryan Fitzpatrick BUF at BAL
27. Max Hall AZ at SEA
28. *Kyle Boller OAK at DEN
Note: Boller might get the start with both Bruce Gradkowski (shoulder) and Jason Campbell (knee) nursing injuries.
Update: Campbell practiced Thursday and split reps with Boller, while Gradkowski worked on his own. *** SUNDAY UPDATE - CAMPBELL STARTS. ***

26. *David Garrard JAC at KC
Note: Suffered a concussion in the first half on Monday night and was replaced by Trent Edwards.
Update: Edwards (thumb) couldn't practice on Thursday, while Garrard (concussion) was at home. It looks like it'll be a combo of Todd Bouman and Patrick Ramsey. *** SUNDAY UPDATE - BOUMAN STARTS, EDWARDS BACKS UP. ***
Running Back

1. Adrian Peterson MIN at GB
2. Ray Rice BAL vs. BUF
Update: (Ankle) Full practice on Thursday.
3. Chris Johnson TEN vs. PHI
Note: Fantasy owners are thankful for the Titans' inexplicable decision to keep Johnson in garbage time on Monday night.
4. Frank Gore SF at CAR
5. *Rashard Mendenhall PIT at MIA
Note: Left shoulder contusion.
Update: Some talk from Coach Tomlin about scaling back his workload.
6. Steven Jackson STL at TB

Note: Less involved in the passing game this year than in the past.
8. Michael Turner ATL vs. CIN
9. Marshawn Lynch SEA vs. AZ
10. Ahmad Bradshaw NYG at DAL

26. Ronnie Brown MIA vs. PIT
27. Fred Jackson BUF at BAL
28. *Marion Barber DAL vs. NYG
29. Justin Forsett SEA vs. AZ

34. Ricky Williams MIA vs. PIT
35. Tim Hightower AZ at SEA
36. C.J. Spiller BUF at BAL
37. Cadillac Williams TB vs. STL

41. Jason Snelling ATL vs. CIN
42. *Willis McGahee BAL vs. BUF
43. Correll Buckhalter DEN vs. OAK

48. Julius Jones NO vs. CLE
49. Chester Taylor CHI vs. WAS

Note: The bye week should do wonders for the Arizona passing game.

9. (prev. 3.) Hakeem Nicks NYG at DAL
