| 14. | Darren McFadden OAK vs. TB Note: Finally had his first 100-yard game against the Chiefs last week. |

| 31. | Andre Brown NYG vs. Pit |

| 72. | *DeMarco Murray DAL at Atl Note: (Foot) Owner/General Manager Jerry Jones is optimistic that Murray will be able to play. We'll see what happens in practice before moving Murray up - I'm quite wary of foot injuries with running backs. Did not practice Thursday - looking less likely to play. *** Unable to practice all week, unlikely to play. *** |
| 73. | *Ben Tate HOU vs. Buf Note: (Hamstring) Unlikely to play this week, despite coming off the bye. Did not practice Thursday. *** Officially out. *** |

| 22. | Eric Decker DEN at Cin Note: The reason I have Decker so much lower than Thomas is that I view Decker primarily as a possession receiver, whereas Thomas is capable of so many more big plays. That said, I moved Decker up to my next tier, because he is active in the red zone. |

| 40. | *Andrew Hawkins CIN vs. Den Note: *** (Knee) Listed as probable. *** |
