CARDINALS at BEARS
*** Anquan Boldin (ankle) sounds like he’s going to play, but he’s a full-blow game-time decision. We all know his reputation for playing through stuff like this, even if he isn't 100 percent or very effective.
- Steve Breaston (knee) is a full go.
*** Devin Hester (ankle) was limited on Friday but reportedly will be active.
- Greg Olsen (ankle) will play but is a clear TE2.
RAVENS at BENGALS

TEXANS at COLTS
- Anthony Gonzalez (knee) is out.
*** Donald Brown (shoulder) is a full blown game-time decision after missing practice Friday.

CHIEFS at JAGUARS
N/A
DOLPHINS at PATRIOTS
- Sammy Morris (knee) is out.
*** Ben Watson (back) is a game-time decision.

- Donald Driver (neck) is expected to play, although the Packers did sign a receiver off their practice squad Saturday.
- Aaron Rodgers is struggling a little with foot injuries, but he’s a full go.
*** Antonio Bryant (knee) has had a setback and shouldn’t be used even if he suits up.
- Michael Clayton (wrist) is fully expected to play, but he’s a total non-factor in fantasy.
PANTHERS at SAINTS
*** John Kasay (groin) is questionable and could be replaced by kickoff specialist Rhys Lloyd.
- Muhsin Muhammad (knee) did not make the trip.
- Dante Rosario (knee) did not make the trip.
- Jonathan Stewart (heel) is fully expected to play despite a questionable tag.
- Jake Delhomme (chest) will start.
- Garrett Hartley (ankle) won’t play, but John Carney is the Saints’ kicker anyway.
- Lance Moore (ankle) is out.
LIONS at SEAHAWKS
*** Calvin Johnson (knee) has looked good in practice and is expected to start.
*** Kevin Smith (shoulder) is fully expected to play and get his normal touches.

CHARGERS at GIANTS
- Antonio Gates (foot) is a full go in a plus matchup.
- Ahmad Bradshaw (ankle) is also a full go in a plus matchup.
- Mario Manningham (shoulder) will play, but it’s unclear how much he’ll rotate with Hakeem Nicks.
- Kevin Boss (ankle) will start.
TITANS at 49ERS
- Javon Ringer (back) is out.
COWBOYS at EAGLES

I think you get 7 for 95 and a touchdown vs the 18th ranked pass defense in sea. But it all depends on if Staford looks your way. Are you going to cut your routes short to help him out? DT pass blockers not that great. The better question is when are going to get out of DT and claim your spot as the best WR in the NFL. Can't do that in DT
