Chargers to rest several players

Jan 02, 2010

Billy Volek is expected to get his most extensive playing time in two years when the red-hot San Diego Chargers host the Washington Redskins in a meaningless regular-season finale Sunday.

The AFC West champion Chargers (12-3), who have won 10 straight games, have nothing to gain except to avoid any more injuries. They've already clinched the AFC's No. 2 playoff seed and a first-round bye.

Coach Norv Turner said Rivers will start and then make way for Volek at some point.

"I want to see Billy get some good opportunities," Turner said.

Titans WR Julio Jones reinjures hamstring on MNF

The Score

8 minutes ago

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Julio Jones was unable to finish Monday night's game against the Buffalo Bills due to a hamstring injury.

Jones was ruled out during the fourth quarter of the Titans' 34-31 victory.

Fantasy Impact:

He finished with a 3-59-0 line yards, including an impressive acrobatic catch along the sideline in the second quarter. Unfortunately for owners, Jones missed the previous two games due to hamstring issues before returning for Monday's contest, so this injury will need to be monitored heading into Week 7. The Titans have a juicy matchup against the Chiefs defense.

Jets WR Elijah Moore to keep getting chances

Newsday

Though rookie wide receiver Elijah Moore’s stats haven’t lived up to the promise he showed in preseason, Robert Saleh said Monday that not only will he continue to get his chances, but that there was a prevalent belief that he’ll soon turn his season around.

Fantasy Impact:

Moore has seen plenty of playing time but only has eight catches for 66 yards in 20 targets (he did miss a game with a concussion). HC Saleh, though, pointed to his game in London against the Falcons and their brutal secondary, where he did draw a 41-yard pass interference call. Moore started out having a great camp this year before getting hurt.

Colts unsure if WR T.Y. Hilton (quad) will play Week 7

Veteran wide receiver T.Y. Hilton provided a spark on Sunday but suffered a quadriceps injury on his final catch of the game.

Related players: Zach Pascal, Mike Strachan, Ashton Dulin

Fantasy Impact:

The Colts are suddenly banged up at WR yet again as Parris Campbell is expected to miss time. Pascal could stand to benefit the most with Strachan perhaps seeing more time as well if Hilton can't play. The story did say if Hilton misses time, it would be minimal.
