Analysis: Bulger underwent an MRI exam on his groin and hamstring Monday and was due for a second MRI on a swollen knee in addition to testing for concussion-related symptoms after a physically demanding loss to the Arizona Cardinals. Coach Steve Spagnuolo said the first MRI revealed a strain. The second MRI was set for late Monday and Bulger will be tested for a possible concussion Tuesday after taking a blow to the head in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 21-13 loss.
11/23/2009	Marion Barber, RB (Dal)	Barber had 99 yards rushing in Dallas' 7-6 win over Washington on Sunday. Analysis: Barber had a season-high 20 carries, but failed to score for the third straight game.

11/23/2009	Tony Gonzalez, TE (Atl)	Gonzalez had eight catches for 82 yards in the Falcons' 34-31 OT loss to the Giants on Sunday. Analysis: Gonzalez's fifth TD catch of the season was a game-tying 11-yard grab with 28 seconds left in the fourth quarter. But five catches for scores probably aren't endearing him to fantasy owners.
11/23/2009	Jason Campbell, QB (Was)	Campbell threw a pass that was tipped and intercepted by Anthony Spencer with 1:46 left, then had a heave fall incomplete on the final play of the game in a 7-6 loss to Dallas on Sunday. Analysis: Campbell failed to throw a TD pass for the first time in four games.
11/23/2009	Tony Romo, QB (Dal)	Romo completed seven straight passes, including a 10-yard touchdown to Patrick Crayton with 2:41 left to give Dallas a 7-6 victory over Washington on Sunday.

11/23/2009	Sidney Rice, WR (Min)	Rice caught two TD passes in Minnesota's 35-9 win over Settle on Sunday. Analysis: Rice has developed into Brett Favre's favorite target, catching 33 passes for 642 yards over his last five games.

11/23/2009	Brett Favre, QB (Min)	Favre completed a career-high 88 percent of his passes for 213 yards and four touchdowns, and Minnesota delivered its most complete performance of the season in a 35-9 victory over the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday. Analysis: Favre surpassed Dan Marino for another NFL record in his 22nd career game with at least four touchdown passes. He has 21 touchdowns and only three interceptions while leading the Vikings a 9-1 start, right on the heels of New Orleans (10-0) for the top seed in the NFC.
11/23/2009	Matt Hasselbeck, QB (Sea)	Hasselbeck was 19 of 26 for 231 yards and one interception in Seattle's 35-9 loss to Minnesota on Sunday. Analysis: Hasselbeck has been picked off our times in his last three games, with the Seahawks losing the last two. "It's new territory for most of us," Hasselbeck said. "We've never had a season like this. It's a tough thing and a test."
11/23/2009	Hines Ward, WR (Pit)	Ward had 10 catches fro 128 yards, including an 8-yard touchdown, in Pittsburgh's 27-24 overtime loss to Kansas City on Sunday. Analysis: Ward bounced back after being held to 12 catches for 71 yards in his previous three games.
11/23/2009	Jamaal Charles, RB (KC)	Charles' 97-yard return of the opening kickoff helped Kansas City upset Pittsburgh 27-24 in overtime Sunday. Analysis: Charles, who got the Chiefs' first rushing touchdown of the year the week before, got their first kickoff return for a TD in four years. He also caught a TD pass. Charles' fantasy value is rising with Larry Johnson now with Cincinnati.
11/23/2009	Matt Cassel, QB (KC)	Cassel had a horrendous first half against Pittsburgh on Sunday, passing for only 35 yards on four completions. But he came through in the final two quarters and overtime, finishing with 248 yards and two touchdowns to help lead Kansas City to a 27-24 win. Analysis: Cassel has four touchdowns and one interception in his last three games.
11/23/2009	Ben Roethlisberger, QB (Pit)	Roethlisberger has a concussion, but is expected to play at Baltimore as long as he continues to pass the daily tests given to players who have sustained the injury. Analysis: Coach Mike Tomlin said on Tuesday that he plans to go into Sunday's game with Roethlisberger and second-year player Dennis Dixon as his only quarterbacks. A third, inexperienced quarterback will be signed, but Tomlin said he won't be ready to play. Backup quarterback Charlie Batch broke his left wrist during the 27-24 loss in Kansas City on Sunday and will have surgery on Wednesday.
11/23/2009	Peyton Manning, QB (Ind)	Manning fell short of another virtuoso performance on Sunday in a 17-15 win at Baltimore. He went 22 for 31 for 299 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions.

11/23/2009	Pierre Garcon, WR (Ind)	Garcon had six catches for a career-high 108 yards Sunday in a 17-15 win at Baltimore. Analysis: Garcon has emerged this season for the Colts and should be productive for many years to come as long as Peyton Manning is with Indianapolis.
11/23/2009	Reggie Wayne, WR (Ind)	Wayne had seven catches for 89 yards Sunday in a 17-15 win at Baltimore. Analysis: It was a solid effort for Wayne, although he didn't score. He's still got 8 TDs this year and is one of the best in the NFL.
11/23/2009	Dallas Clark, TE (Ind)	Clark had one catch for a 3-yard TD Sunday in a 17-15 win at Baltimore. Analysis: Fellow tight end Tom Santi had six catches and fantasy owners should monitor the situation to see if Peyton Manning prefers Santi to Clark.
11/23/2009	Joseph Addai, RB (Ind)	Addai ran 19 times for 74 yards and a TD Sunday in a 17-15 win at Baltimore. Analysis: Addai won't put up many big numbers for the Peyton Manning-led Colts, but he put a great move to leave Ravens LB Ray Lewis in his tracks on his 5-yard TD run in the second quarter. Addai has rewarded fantasy owners with seven scores on the ground.
11/23/2009	Joe Flacco, QB (Bal)	Flacco went 23 for 35 for 256 yards Sunday in a 17-15 loss to the Colts. Analysis: Flacco could not produce a touchdown drive and threw a key interception late in the game. "I made a dumb play and threw an interception in a tight situation," Flacco said.
