Cutler, Rodgers, McNabb should play in Week 6

Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler (concussion) fully participated in practice Friday and will play in Week 6. His presence in the lineup increases the value of all the other offensive skill players in Chicago.

Two other marquee quarterbacks, Green Bay's Aaron Rodgers (concussion) and Washington's Donovan McNabb (hamstring) are also expected to play. Both practiced on Friday. 


New Orleans Saints running back Pierre Thomas (ankle) has been ruled out for this weekend. Ladell Betts should get the majority of the carries.

Detroit receiver Calvin Johnson (shoulder) will be a game-time decision on Sunday. He was able to catch passes with both hands for the first time on Friday.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Randy Moss has been cramming for the team's two-minute offense this week and is starting to feel more comfortable in it. He should be involved in all phases of the team's passing game this week.

The Vikings' Brett Favre has been battling tendonitis in his elbow this week and is listed as questionable on the injury report. His arm would really have to be hurting for him to give up his consecutive start streak so expect him to play.

New York Giants placekicker Lawrence Tynes (ankle) is questionable for this week. It's safer to go with another kicker until you know for sure he is back in the line-up.

Oakland quarterback Bruce Gradkowski did not practice Friday is not expected to play this weekend. Jason Campbell should get the starting nod but he should only be used in fantasy as a last resort.

Campbell's teammate, running back Darren McFadden, was limited in practice Friday and is still listed as questionable for Week 6. Even if he plays it should be sparingly so use Michael Bush as a full-time starter this weekend.

Houston wide receiver Jacoby Jones (calf) is still questionable for Sunday but is likely to play. Since fellow wideout Andre Johnson (ankle) is considered probable, Jones has little value even if he plays. Texans' running back Arian Foster (knee) is also listed as probable.

Indianapolis wide receivers Austin Collie and Pierre Garcon are both questionable for Sunday but both are expected to play. Running backs Joseph Addai and Mike Hart are also questionable but should play.

Dallas wideout Dez Bryant (ankle) was held out of practice Friday and is questionable for Week 6. It's probably wise to keep him on your bench until he starts producing consistently.

Tampa Bay wideout Mike Williams, who has been quietly consistent this year, practiced Friday but it still listed as questionable for this weekend with a foot injury. He will be a game-time decision.

Denver running back Knowshon Moreno (hamstring) is beginning to practice again but is doubtful for this weekend. Even if he plays he will be used sparingly so look elsewhere for running back help.
