Last Minute Fantasy Football Injury Update
Willie Parker Returns This Week, But Don't Expect The World, Yet
Here is the latest on who will and will not play due to injury:

Willie Parker
has been out the last few weeks with a knee injury, but he is looking to return this week against the Redskins. Don't expect too much from him, however, because Mewelde Moore has been doing great in his absence, and the Steelers have no reason to rush Parker back into action. Either way, Moore is likely to get the red zone touches.

BenJarvus Green-Ellis will likely be the featured back for the Patriots against the Colts. Sammy Morris and LaMont Jordan are out this week, so it's down to Green-Ellis and Kevin Faulk, since Laurence Maroney is on the IR. The Colts have a suspect run defense, so Green-Ellis might be worth grabbing if he's still available and you have a shortage at RB this week. It may not be too late.

Tony Romo
is still out. That means I'd stay away from whoever the Cowboys have at QB this week, as well as Terrell Owens. He has been completely lost without Romo. Jason Witten is still a great play.

Joseph Addai
and Reggie Wayne look to be back at full strength for the Colts. The Patriots' defense is about as unpredictable as they come, so this could be great news for Addai and Wayne owners, or it could be meaningless. I'm leaning towards meaningless, because the Colts offense still doesn't seem to be clicking, and the Patriots aren't really the team to START clicking against.

Steven Jackson
will try to play this week, but it's no guarantee. He's listed as a game time decision. I'm predicting he'll play, and the Arizona Cardinals' strength is their offense, not their defense, so he should have a decent week. Unless you have 2 other elite backs, I think he's worth the start.

Carson Palmer
is out again this week. If the Bengals are smart, he'll sit out the rest of the year. Even if he returns after their bye next week, I wouldn't put him in my starting lineup. That offense has nothing going on, with or without him.

Matt Hasselbeck is also out this week, with no word on when he will play again. He has nerve issues in his leg, so it might be a while.

Good luck this week, and I hope you had time to make your last minute adjustments this week.

My overall fantasy football record this year (5 teams): 28-11-1

This means Big Ben won't get hit and sacked as often. Willie take's the preasure off and hides the deficiencies of mediocre offensive line.
