FANTASY SNAPSHOT - Running Back Updates
There were some key RB injuries in week 10.
Cincinnati Bengal Cedric Benson left the game with a strained hip flexor. Rookie Bernard Scott filled in with 13 carries for 33 yards. He also had 1 catch that went for 21 yards. Not a very impressive stat line. But he was running against the Steelers. The Bengals play the Oakland Raiders in week 11. The Bengals say Benson will be ready to go week 11. Provided that changes Scott becomes a great fantasy play.
Seattle Seahawks Julius Jones is severely banged up. He spent the night in the hospital as he was experiencing bleeding in his lung. He also has a broken rib. Jones will be out for at least the next two weeks. His replacement was second year RB Justin Forsett. He made the most of his opportunity. Running for a career high 123 yards on 17 carries. He added 5 receptions for 26 yards. Unless you’re stacked at RB pick him up. He is an elusive back that the Seahawks are in need of. Not to mention head coach Jim Mora has taken a strong liking to him.
Atlanta Falcon RB Michael Turner suffered a high ankle sprain. It is being reported that it isn’t a severe sprain. It is really a question of how much time Turner will be missing.
My guess is that Jason Snelling will get the start in week 11. He has been averaging 4.9 yards per carry on the season. Head Coach Mike Smith praised his hard running style.
Jerious Norwood is still listed as questionable with a hip injury.
The team will be signing Aaron Stecker in the coming days. To serve as a #2 or #3 back.

Week 9 Picks
So far there is no indication that the scoring frenzy by the elite teams in the NFL will stop. But beware of the overs. There are some good offensive teams matched up against some weak offensive teams, so be careful as the bad teams may not pull their weight to cover overs. Good Luck!
Texans at Colts - Indianapolis -9: Houston will stay in this game despite problems running the ball. Look for big scoring in this game, with the Colts pulling away in the fourth quarter. Colts win and cover this one easy. The over at 47.5 is a good bet as well.
Panthers at Saints - New Orleans -13: So far the Saints have covered the over in every game so far this season. I think it stops this week. Carolina and an anemic offense wont put up the points to help you reach the over. The Saints will pull ahead early and stay ahead. Easy win and cover for the Saints, but beware of the over and take the under this time.
Lions at Seahawks - Seattle -10: This is just the kind of meaningless game that pits two weekly underdogs together. This is a perfect game for Detroit to grab a win. A banged up Seattle reserve team will lose to the Detroit starters. Take the Lions and the points, and don't worry about who wins, and don't even bet the over under.
Packers at Tampa Bay - Green Bay -10: Look for the Packers to take out their Favre frustrations on the lowly Bucs. Big offensive day for Green Bay along with a solid defensive effort will allow for the Packers to cover in this one. Take the under as Tampa will probably not put up more than 10 points in this one.
Good Luck and remember when they ask you where you got your advice tell them from some idiots!
