TEAM HUNTER PLAYER NEWS SINCE SUN, DEC 9


Ray Rice - (Wed, Dec 12, 2012)
Rice (hip pointer) was limited at practice Wednesday, the Baltimore Sun reports. Rice's injury has been described as a slight hip pointer, so we'd be surprised if he wasn't available Sunday against the Broncos. That said, we will continue to monitor Rice's practice participation as the week rolls along.


Ray Rice - (Wed, Dec 12, 2012)
Rice (hip) practiced Wednesday, the Baltimore Sun reports. While we are unsure of his participation level, the fact that Rice can be active through his hip pointer is a positive sign for his availability for Sunday's showdown with Denver. We'll continue to monitor his status as the week rolls along.


Ray Rice - (Wed, Dec 12, 2012)
Rice (hip) doesn't expect the Ravens' offense to change much with the transition from Cam Cameron to Jim Caldwell at offensive coordinator, the Ravens' official website reports. Cameron had a tendency to lean heavily on the running game one week and then essentially ignore it the next, although Rice has been a pretty consistent fantasy performer over the past four seasons because of his involvement in the passing game. Perhaps Jim Caldwell won't be so quick to abandon the run when the Ravens fall behind, but there's no reason to adjust Rice's fantasy value for the time being. He'll face a tough Denver defense on Sunday and could be without starting right guard Marshal Yanda (ankle), arguably Baltimore's top offensive lineman.

Ray Rice - (Mon, Dec 10, 2012)
Rice has a slight hip pointer, according to coach John Harbaugh, the Baltimore Sun reports. The report adds that Rice, who rushed 20 times for 121 yards and a touchdown, didn't appear to be in major discomfort after Sunday's game, so it doesn't look like the running back's Week 15 status is in any danger, though perhaps he will be limited somewhat at practice in the coming days.


Ray Rice - (Sun, Dec 9, 2012)
Rice suffered a hip pointer in Sunday's loss to the Redskins, Jeff Zrebiec of the Baltimore Sun reports. Rice, who carried the ball 20 times for 121 yards with a TD and added three catches for 15 yards in the game, was out there when the contest was in overtime, so hopefully this is a minor deal that won't limit him much once the Ravens return to practice leading up to Week 15's contest against the Broncos.


Cam Newton - (Sun, Dec 9, 2012)

Cam Newton - (Sun, Dec 9, 2012)
Newton connected on 23-of-35 throws for 287 passing yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's win against the Falcons. He also ran nine times for 116 yards and a touchdown. Newton was the difference against Atlanta and made a huge fantasy impact as well. His 23 completions Sunday tied his season-high and now Newton has thrown for eight touchdowns and zero interceptions over his past four contests. Additionally, Newton has ran for three scores over that same span, including a 72-yarder Sunday, which marked the longest run of Newton's young NFL career. The second-year quarterback has been playing much better of late and will look to continue his strong play next week in San Diego.


Cam Newton - (Fri, Jun 15, 2012)
Will the 14 rushing TDs recur? We doubt it. But running will still be part of his game, and he can improve as a thrower.


Larry Fitzgerald - (Sun, Dec 9, 2012)
Fitzgerald had one catch for two yards during the Cards' 58-0 loss to the Seahawks on Sunday. Fitzgerald has seen his value tanked by the Cards' ineffective quarterback play, and he should be considered fantasy toxic at this point. Fitzgerald was actually targeted 11 times Sunday, but only the one, two-yard pass, was even remotely catchable.


Trent Richardson - (Sun, Dec 9, 2012)
Richardson (ribs) produced yet another solid fantasy output Sunday against the Chiefs. He finished with 42 yards on 18 carries and two touchdowns. The yards-per-carry weren't great, and he lost some carries to Montario Hardesty as the Browns were nursing a healthy lead, but owners have to be pleased with Richardson's production. Sunday broke his five-game streak with 20 or more carries, but he continues to climb the fantasy running back ranks due to his consistently heavy workload and his nose for the endzone. Richardson has scored four times in his last three games and is a must-start, despite a tough matchup against the Redskins in Week 15.


Trent Richardson - (Sun, Dec 9, 2012)
Richardson (chest) is active for Sunday's game against the Chiefs. Richardson has been banged up for a while now, but he continues to get 20+ carries every game and is ready to roll again this week.


Frank Gore - (Sun, Dec 9, 2012)
Gore rushed the ball 12 times for 63 yards with a touchdown and caught two passes for 22 yards against the Dolphins on Sunday. Though not a spectacular day by fantasy standards, Gore put in a solid effort against a tough run defense and found the endzone for a second consecutive week. But it was also a bit of a milestone game for Gore as he recorded his sixth career 1,000 yard season while also tying Joe Perry and Roger Craig for the franchise record with his 50th career rushing touchdown. He'll look to add to his totals next week when he faces the Patriots whose run defense was, coming into Week 14, ranked eighth in the league and allowing just 100.8 rushing yards per game.


Frank Gore - (Sun, Dec 9, 2012)
Gore (wrist) is active for Sunday's contest against Miami. Despite averaging 2.5 yards per carry in Week 13, Gore has averaged less than 4.0 yards per rush just three times in 12 outings this season. However, the Dolphins have yielded 90 yards or more rushing in five of the past six games, which improves Gore's fantasy stock this weekend.


Jeremy Maclin - (Wed, Dec 12, 2012)
Maclin (groin) is listed as probable for Thursday's game against Cincinnati, the Philadelphia Inquirer reports. Maclin, who busted out in Week 14 after a handful of middling outings, has a fair matchup against a Bengals secondary that has allowed 23 receptions for 320 yards and one touchdown to opposing wide receivers over the past two games. Fantasy owners should start him with confidence.


Jeremy Maclin - (Tue, Dec 11, 2012)
Maclin (groin) was limited in practice Tuesday, the Philadelphia Inquirer reports. Maclin was not actually injured during Week 14's win in Tampa Bay, but following his game-winning touchdown when teammate Nnamdi Asomugha jumped on him in celebration. Coach Andy Reid expects Maclin to play Thursday against Cincinnati, but he has little time to progress this week, meaning Wednesday's injury report will attempt to clear up his availability Thursday.


Jeremy Maclin - (Tue, Dec 11, 2012)
Maclin (groin) will be limited in practice Tuesday, the Philadelphia Inquirer's Jeff McLane reports. Maclin had one of his better games of the season against the Buccaneers on Sunday, as he topped the century mark in receiving yards and found the end zone. Head coach Andy Reid said he expects Maclin to play Thursday, but we'll see how the groin responds to practice.


Jeremy Maclin - (Mon, Dec 10, 2012)
Maclin (groin) would have been limited if the Eagles had held practice Monday, CSN Philadelphia reports. Maclin appeared to develop a connection with quarterback Nick Foles during Sunday's win in Tampa Bay, as he caught nine balls (on 13 targets) for 104 yards and the game-winning touchdown as time expired. With the Eagles playing Thursday against Cincinnati, we'll be sure to watch his participation level as the week carries on.


Jeremy Maclin - (Sun, Dec 9, 2012)
Maclin had nine catches on 13 targets for 104 yards and a touchdown Sunday against the Buccaneers. Maclin led the Eagles in targets and caught a touchdown as time expired to clinch a victory for the Birds. Maclin had been a bit slow to develop a good chemistry with new starting quarterback Nick Foles, but that all seemed to change Sunday. Starting tight end Brent Celek was knocked out of the game with a concussion, which means Maclin could see his high number of targets continue next week against the Bengals.


Vernon Davis - (Sun, Dec 9, 2012)
Davis had one catch for four yards against the Dolphins on Sunday. If you were still torn about whether or not to use Davis heading into this week, the results from this game should help put that internal debate to bed. Davis is obviously a lost man in this offense and can no longer be counted on as a viable fantasy threat anymore. Until more is done to incorporate Davis into the passing attack, owners should continue to lean on other alternatives.


Tony Gonzalez - (Sun, Dec 9, 2012)
Gonzalez caught eight balls for 61 yards in Sunday's loss to the Panthers. Gonzalez caught eight of the nine balls thrown his way and has at least 50 receiving yards in three straight games. He'll look to add to that streak Week 15 against the Giants.


Tony Romo - (Mon, Dec 10, 2012)
Dallas Cowboys get emotional win ESPN Dallas' Todd Archer and Jean-Jacques Taylor analyze the Dallas Cowboys' emotional 20-19 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals. /media/motion/2012/1210/dal_121210_NFL_Cowboys-Bengals_Postgame/dal_121210_NFL_Cowboys-Bengals_Postgame.jpg


Tony Romo - (Sun, Dec 9, 2012)
Romo completed 25-of-43 passes for 268 yards with one TD and one INT in Sunday's come-from-behind win over the Bengals. It certainly wasn't his best statistical game of the season, but Romo came up big in crunch time to lead the Cowboys to a game-winning field goal in the final seconds. Next week's game, at home to the Steelers, promises to be another tough matchup as Dallas tries to stay in the playoff picture.


Michael Bush - (Wed, Dec 12, 2012)
Bush (ribs) did not practice Wednesday, the Bears' official site reports. Granted, the Bears held a walkthrough due to the numerous injuries ailing the team. Bush himself injured his ribs yet again during Week 14's loss at Minnesota, which helped to explain his meager output (one carry for six yards). Since Matt Forte is healthy and acting like a No. 1 back, it's difficult to see Bush doing much more than spelling Forte. Now that Bush is dealing with another ailment, his output is likely to be less-than-desirable to those attempting to win fantasy titles. No matter, we'll keep an eye on his progress as the weekend draws near.


Michael Bush - (Mon, Dec 10, 2012)
Coach Lovie Smith said that Bush re-injured his ribs Sunday against the Vikings, Adam Jahns of the Chicago Sun-Times reports. "He took a shot," Smith noted Monday. That helps explain why Bush had just one carry for six yards Sunday, though his fantasy upside remains limited in any case, as long as Matt Forte remains healthy.


Michael Bush - (Sun, Dec 9, 2012)
Bush (ribs) is active for Sunday's contest in Minnesota. With Matt Forte healthy in Week 13, Bush was held to a more typical seven carries for 39 yards. Expect much of the same versus a Vikings run defense that has allowed five of their past six opponents to break the 100-yard barrier.


David Akers - (Sun, Dec 9, 2012)
Akers was 2-for-2 in field goal attempts and converted all three of his extra points during the 49ers' win over the Dolphins on Sunday. Akers had been dealing with a pelvis injury, which limited him in practice early in the week. But all looked fine as he was successful from 30 and 37 yards out this week and he should continue to be a solid choice at kicker for your fantasy playoffs.


David Akers - (Sun, Dec 9, 2012)
Akers (pelvis) is active for Sunday's game against Miami. Akers is facing a Dolphins squad that has forced an average of 3.2 field goal attempts of opposing kickers over the past five contests, making him a strong play despite his recent struggles.


Daniel Thomas - (Sun, Dec 9, 2012)
Thomas only had two rushes Sunday for three yards in a 27-13 loss to San Francisco. Thomas looked like he had taken over the starting role a few games ago but Reggie Bush is now firmly in the driver's seat once again leaving Daniel as no more than a complementary back. Still, Thomas is the favorite to be the starting RB next season in Miami as Bush is a free agent and not expected to return to south Florida.


Mike Williams - (Sun, Dec 9, 2012)
Williams had three catches (on seven targets) for 18 yards and a touchdown in the Bucs' 23-21 victory over the Eagles. Thank goodness for fantasy owners Williams had that touchdown Sunday, otherwise he would not have done much. He is getting consistent targets and has had touchdowns in two straight weeks, so Williams is a must-own in most formats.


Brian Hartline - (Sun, Dec 9, 2012)
Hartline had two receptions for 34 yards Sunday against San Francisco. Not the best of games for Hartline who only hauled two of his eight targets. Hartline would be a decent number two receiver for a team, but is miscast as the number one WR in Miami.
