what led you to believe that?.... i need as much insight as possible into this situation as my next best option is a questionable Addai on MNF.... so i'm REALLY crossing my fingers for some Norwood action here.

Initially the Falcons feared that Norwood tore ligaments in his knee and would be out for the year.

I think there are bigger problems in Atlanta today than the runningbacks...
From Rotoworld . . .
Warrick Dunn (questionable, calf) practiced on Friday for the first time this week and said that he felt good enough to play on Sunday.
Dunn also added that he will make a final decision late Saturday afternoon and that he doesn't want to play a limited number of snaps. He will undergo treatment before making said decision. "I told (Dunn) two things," coach Jim Mora, Jr. said. "You can't go in for a series, come off the field and say, 'It hurts.' Number two: he has to keep that thing warm. He can't let it cool off." Jerious Norwood, meanwhile, practiced on Friday for the second straight day, making it appear that Justin Griffith will have little value in Week 15. Dec. 15 - 1:33 pm et

"I don't want to play four or five plays or just a series," said Dunn, who strained his calf in last Sunday's 17-6 victory over Tampa Bay. "If I do that, they can just take my body and let somebody else play and contribute. If I play, I have to play, do me. It felt good today and right now, I'm going to treat it and make sure I feel good tomorrow and then we'll see."
Backup tailback Jerious Norwood, who re-aggravated a right knee strain against Tampa Bay, practiced for the second straight day. He was sore, but coach Jim Mora said he ran well. Like Dunn, Norwood will be put through an afternoon workout before a decision is made about his playing status.

Falcons: Dunn practices Friday
12/15/06 10:11 PM
THE NEWS
Falcons running back Warrick Dunn practiced Friday for the first time this week with his calf injury that forced him out of last week's game against Tampa Bay. Dunn has a chance to play Saturday against the Cowboys, according to ESPN.com.
Our View
Dunn appears slightly less likely to play than fellow injured running back Jerious Norwood, if only because Norwood got in one more day of practice this week than Dunn did. It wouldn't surprise us if Dunn was able to play, but he isn't the best start against the Cowboys defense anyway. Check back with us tomorrow night to make sure Dunn is active if you need to have him in your lineup. Justin Griffith would get the carries if both Dunn and Norwood are out of action.

Tuned into NFL Network to see the ticker stating that Adam Schefter is reporting that both Dunn and Norwood will play today. What kind of splits we could see though is anyone's guess.
Much like many of you here, I'm still stuck deciding between Dunn, Norwood and Dayne as my flex....

they question then is who will get the bulk of the carries. Does Dunn go in and run on his calf then call it quits, then norwood is in the rest of the game...damn...damn...damn

even if Dunn does play, how effective is he gonna be coming off a leg injury running against Dallas?
really he hasn't been that great recently. only breaking 70 yds twice since week 5. once with 73 and once with 87. and he has 4 td's this season.

The NFL Network's field reporter talked with Jim Mora earlier today and he said (paraphrasing) "I think you'll definitely see Warrick today; Jerious we're not so sure about. We're going to bring him out here in a little bit and put him through some workouts and see how he feels".

well, I was feeling ok about benching Dunn and playing M Booker as my flex until I read this thread.....now I'm back to square 1.......are you guys playing Dunn now?? Even worse, my opponent has Vick, so if Dunn stinks, it will be because Vick is stealing all the yards, tds.....
