[Andy Hicks]

Starting wide receivers Santana Moss and Antwaan Randle El were unable to practice again Friday, putting the Washington Redskins in a perilous position at the position for Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Moss is sidelined with a bruised heel and neither Moss nor coach Joe Gibbs sounded optimistic that it would heal sufficiently before game time. "Same that it felt all week. Sore. Hurts. Painful," Moss said. "I couldn't tell you yes or no right now. It's one of those things where I'll just have to see how it feels on Sunday." Randle El has had a relapse of a nagging hamstring injury. He is listed as probable, but the injury will likely have an effect on his speed and agility if he plays.

please add to the sticky I guess.

Santana Moss (heel) is listed as questionable for Week 10. He missed practice for the third straight day Friday.

Moss admits his heel is still "sore...painful," and didn't sound optimistic about his status for Sunday's game against the Eagles. Considering how down his production has been this season, Moss isn't worth counting on. James Thrash will start if Moss can't, and isn't a fantasy option either.

Yup..."Santana Moss (heel, hamstring) is out again too. This is looking like a lost season for him at a time they really need a WR step up."

Two words:

Keenan McCardell.

He's overwhelmingly likely to be available on waivers in your league, and unless you think that James Thrash is special he's the best option they have at WR if Moss and ARE can't go. I'd say he's as good of a WR3 as you're going to find today if you're thin there (like I am in the dynasty league I just nabbed him in).

Should be a nice game for Cooley. While there will be more attention on him, I expect him to be targeted early and often.

I agree, though historically Cooley has had merely average TE numbers against Philly. They're going to run-first, no matter who's healthy. If he scores a TD it's probably going to be on a pass of <10 yards. My Cooley projections for today would be something like 4/55/0.

So you think that Keenan is more valuable than Brandon Lloyd this week? Lloyd is higher up on the FBG depth chart, but I haven't been following the WAS reciever situation very well this season.

Lloyd was sent home and didn't travel with the team last week to play at the Jets because he missed a meeting. He's as out of favor with the coaching staff as you could ever be. He's gone after this year - no question. They've written him off. Might he play? Yes. Might he catch a long pass, maybe even for a TD? Yes. This is about what you have to count on, though, because it's overwhelmingly likely that his statline will either be blank, or will be something like 1/9/0. If it's me, I go with McCardell or even Thrash over Lloyd. Doubly so in PPR.

That's good enough for me. Much obliged, sir.
