Newsday's Tom Rock believes Laveranues Coles (ankle) may face an uphill battle to play Sunday against the Browns.
Coles, who admitted after last Sunday's game that he's never played in such pain, was "very limited" in practice Wednesday. Rock says Coles may now be in worse condition due to soreness. Coles was a game-time decision against the Dolphins in Week 13, and may be again Sunday vs. Cleveland.

If he played last week, he'll play this week imo.

That difficult period early in his career seems like a lifetime ago now for Coles. He's one of the Jets' captains and has built a reputation as one of the toughest players in the league - as evidenced by his terrific performance Sunday in Miami despite playing on a high ankle sprain that would have kept most players on the sideline.
Coles has transformed from one of the most contentious players a reporter could ever encounter in a locker room to one of the most admirable, tough and loyal athletes you'll ever meet.
Coles, who revealed that Sunday in Miami was the most pain he'd ever played with (a source said he took pain-killer shots to do it), was still limping significantly yesterday, though don't bet on that keeping him out of Sunday's home game against the Browns.
"Things aren't going the way we want it to go, but I do want to finish this ride with these guys," Coles said.

None of that sounds very promising. He might be used primarily as a decoy. He might come out after a couple quarters if they're way down. It's just irritating because he has a good matchup and would conceivably get even more looks with Cotchery out, but then I have to decide if the risk factor is too great to start him over other good matchups like Isaac Bruce or Bryant Johnson. Bah.

The New York Daily News confirms that Laveranues Coles "probably will play" against the Browns Sunday.
Coles was limited all week with an ankle injury and is classified as "questionable," but is worth penciling into fantasy lineups.

Three of his last five games have been duds and he's probably not going to be 100% even if he plays. I have him in one of my leagues. It's a do-or-die game for me and I have him on the bench in favor of guys like Chester Taylor and Reggie Williams. I'd like to start Coles because he has a good matchup and he's a good player, but it's hard for me to have much faith in him right now.

Been starting Roddy White ever since he started missing games and probably won't switch back to Coles anytime soon.

As of right now I'm going to roll with him over S.Holmes, Bowe, & J.Walker in a non-PPR league.
