Monday night players are listed in BLUE and their practice schedule is Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

Team	Pos	Player	Injury	Wed	Thu	Fri	Off Inj	Playing Status
ATL	LB	Stephen Nicholas	thigh	L	F	F	P	Should be good to go but check inactive report to be safe.
BUF	S	Jairus Byrd	hip	DNP	L	L	Q	Expected to play but not a strong fantasy option this week.
CAR	LB	Jon Beason	knee	DNP	DNP	DNP	D	Doesn't look for Beason this week. Expect him to be a GTD and if he is inactive then Kuechly becomes a viable fantasy option this week.
CHI	DE	Julius Peppers	ankle	L	DNP	L	P	Peppers should play in what looks to be a good matchup.
CIN	DE	Carlos Dunlap	groin	L	L	F	P	Full practice Friday good sign for him playing on Sunday but a groin is always a concern.
CIN	LB	Vontaze Burfict	hamstring	n/a	L	F	P	Should be good to go this week but I'm not 100% ready to rely on Burfict as a start in 10-12 team leagues. If he gets nickel snaps again this week then you'll see me change my mind.
CIN	CB	Dre Kirkpatrick	knee	L	L	L	D	At least he is back practicing, but currently no fantasy value.
CIN	CB	Jason Allen	quadricep	DNP	DNP	DNP	D	Play or not leave him on the bench.
CIN	CB	Leon Hall	hamstring	L	L	F	P	Not an option unless you are in a deeper CB mandatory league.
CIN	CB	Nate Clements	calf	L	L	F	P	Clements is a player to keep an eye on, but I wouldn't start him this week.
CLE	S	T.J. Ward	hand	DNP	L	L	Q	Check the inactive report before starting him.
DEN	LB	Nate Irving	concussion	L	L	F	P	No fantasy value.
IND	LB	Pat Angerer	foot	L	DNP	DNP	O	OUT
IND	DL	Dwight Freeney	ankle	F	F	L	Q	Risky fantasy option
IND	CB	Vontae Davis	ankle	DNP	DNP	DNP	O	OUT

JAC	LB	Daryl Smith	groin	DNP	DNP	DNP	O	OUT
KCC	DE	Glenn Dorsey	calf	DNP	DNP	DNP	O	OUT
KCC	DE	Ropati Pitouitua	elbow	DNP	DNP	L	Q	From sleeper status this week to keep him on the bench for me.
KCC	LB	Derrick Johnson	groin	DNP	DNP	L	Q	GTD, check the inactives and if he is playing I would keep him in my lineup.
KCC	S	Kendrick Lewis	shoulder	L	DNP	F	Q	Not a viable fantasy option.
MIA	CB	Richard Marshall	back	DNP	DNP	DNP	O	OUT
MIA	LB	Kevin Burnett	foot	DNP	L	F	P	Expected to play.
MIN	DE	Jared Allen	groin	DNP	DNP	F	P	Full practice Friday a good sign he will be on the field this week.
MIN	LB	Erin Henderson	concussion	L	F	F	Q	If he plays downgrade Jasper Brinkley, and if he does play I would still leave him on the bench this week.
MIN	S	Mistral Raymond	ankle	DNP	DNP	DNP	O	OUT
MIN	CB	Antoine Winfield	knee	L	L	F	P	Expected to play.
NEP	LB	Dont'a Hightower	hamstring	L	L	L	Q	Risky fantasy option.
NOS	LB	David Hawthorne	hamstring	DNP	DNP	DNP	O	OUT
NOS	S	Roman Harper	hip	DNP	L	L	Q	Should play but check inactives prior to game.
NYG	LB	Keith Rivers	hamstring	L	L	L	D	To risky to rely on this week.
NYG	DT	Rocky Bernard	quadricep	DNP	DNP	DNP	O	OUT
NYG	S	Antrel Rolle	knee	L	DNP	L	Q	Should play this weekend but check the inactive report.
NYG	S	Kenny Phillips	knee	DNP	DNP	DNP	O	OUT
NYG	LB	Michael Boley	hip	DNP	DNP	L	Q	Even if he plays he has a poor matchup.
NYJ	S	Darrelle Revis	knee	DNP	DNP	DNP	O	MNF OUT (Jets haven't put him on IR yet, and may not)
NYJ	S	Laron Landry	heel	L	DNP			MNF
PHI	LB	Akeem Jordan	hamstring	DNP	DNP	DNP	O	OUT
PHI	LB	Mychal Kendricks	calf	-	F	F	P	Should play and a solid LB3 option in larger leagues.
PIT	LB	James Harrison	knee	F	F	F	P	Expected to play, but still a risky fantasy option.
PIT	S	Troy Polamalu	calf	F	F	F	P	Expected to play.
SDC	CB	Shareece Wright	foot	DNP	DNP	DNP	O	OUT

SF	DT	Isaac Sopoaga	ankle, knee	L	L	PNC	Q	Not a viable fantasy option.
SF	CB	Carlos Rogers	ankle	L	L	PNC	Q	Jets passing offense is so bad SF can probably play without their secondary.
SF	LB	Navorro Bowman	shoulder	L	L	PNC	P	Expected to play.
TEN	LB	Colin McCarthy	ankle	L	DNP	L	Q	Looks like he will very possibly play this week, but far to risky to put in starting lineups. If he is active and does play you have to downgrade both Akeem Ayers and Will Witherspoon.

WAS	S	Brandon Meriweather	knee	DNP	DNP	DNP	O	OUT
