I would guess Hakim, as he got the targets last week.

Furrey. Kitna looked to him alot vs. St. Louis, and the next week vs. the Vikes.
But I wouldn't count on huge numbers from him.

With 6 teams on bye and Detroit throwing the ball a lot, those of us in ppr leagues just need a guy who will get a lot of looks.

Funny, thats not what Roy says, nor what the Lions are saying.http://www.detnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/artic.../610110305/1126
"WR R. Williams Hopes To Play, But It's Doubtful
Terry Foster, Detroit News - [Full Article]
WR Roy Williams did not rule out playing Sunday, although the team says he is doubtful. Williams injured his shoulder and back when he was hit by Vikings S Darren Sharper . "If we can get it to calm down we will be in good position," Williams said during an interview on WXYT 1270. "Right now it is stiff." "
Az Hakim will play Roy's flanker spot if Roy can't play and Martz and Kitna trust him and he got the majority of looks after Roy went out.
I think its much more likely that Detroit sources have better sources than buffalobills.com.edited to sound like I know english

Maybe not.Bills | Clements misses practice, questionable for Week 6Wed, 11 Oct 2006 13:52:46 -0700Buffalo Bills CB Nate Clements (thigh) missed practice Wednesday, Oct. 11, and is questionable for Week 6.With the other WR options being Drummond, Bodiford, and BMW, I would expect both Furrey and Hakim to be nice plays this week for those who need them. I'm really liking Hakim if Roy is out as he already has familiarity with Martz's pass-happy system (which Furrey also had) and the other players on O seem to be catching on. I just hope Kitna can finish the game as I believe the Lions will be without at least 3 from their expected starting O-line.

I would tend to agree with you, but the NFL Injury Report lists him as probable as well.
FairWarning
Footballguy
If you need a safe start, go with Furrey. If you need a big game, Hakim is the home-run hitter.

Not sure what to tell you. He's probable on NFL.com also - the injury rpt was updated for this week's games.Could be wrong though I guess.

FWIW, On RTsports they have him listed as probably with a blurb saying that the Lions are saying he's doubtful.

Personally I see a downgrade as he didn't participate in the full practice on Wed

Getting back to the orig question, I see both Furrey and Hakim as decent plays this week.

People, people. He's probable. Don't over-think this. He practiced a bit today, and barring a setback, he'll be playing Sunday. Keep monitoring everything, but I don't understand this desire to make it more than what it is.Clear as mud.

Actually, this is a very good point. I can't think of the last time a guy didn't have a full day of practice on Wednesday but played on Sunday. This would be a first.Nevermind what the Lions are reporting. He's most certainly OUT for Sunday.

He's probable. Going from probable to doubtful is doubtful.

He's gone from doctors saying it's doubtful he'll play this week, to missing a portion of practice and listed as probable.I'm not sure I see this as bad news.

And, he was never "doubtful" at any point. Coach said he was "questionable" this Monday. This upgrade to Wednesday seems to be lost on a lot of people with too much focus on the fact that he didn't go through the entire practice. That he practiced at all AND is listed as probable...I mean, what are people still freaking out about?People, people. He's probable. Don't over-think this.

never said a bad thing. should clarify:- it's better than earlier reports of "doubtful"
I'm not sure I see this as bad news.
- he's probable, which is good, but it's strange that they would list him as such if he didn't participate in the full practice on wed.
in response to an earlier post a player missing a portion of a wed practice and playing is pretty common IMO (unscientific "my man otis" study). IIRC westbrook hasn't practiced on weds+ for the past couple of weeks.

No it's not. It's never happened. Ever. I think you're making up this Westbrook thing.You people miss the sarcasm so easily sometimes. This flipped-out over-reaction to him not participating in a full practice is no big deal. He's probable, which means he's likely to start on Sunday.

you're serious? how many times have we seen players not practice wed and bounce back to game form by Sunday. He had a somewhat serious injury that puts him out for a little under a week. why risk hurting anything when he could be a stud come Sunday?

from kffl: "Steve Pate, of The Daily Oakland Press, reports Detroit Lions WR Roy Williams missed practice Wednesday, Oct. 11 for personal reasons. He is listed as probable for the Week 6 game. "
interesting that the reporter said he missed practice for personal reasons, not injury-related reasons.

The more this goes on, the more it seems like there might be something else going on here. I have nothing to base this on, just pure speculation. But going from doubtful to probable to out of practice for personal reasons seems sketchy to me. Not fishing or trying to get anything started here - the whole thing just seems really effin' weird.

Why does someone from the Oakland Free Press have the answers and not someone at least on the East Coast...say Detoit or Buffalo?
I know stories can be picked up across the fruited planes, but I would think they would be picked up sooner a bit closer to the story.
Also, I am not tyring to take anything away from this guys reporting skills, just kind of curious about the whole ordeal.

What I've added to the discussion for those paying attention is to note how absurd it is to freak out over a missed practice session on Wednesday when Williams is CLEARLY probable to play on Sunday.

In all fairness, he was listed as doubtful to start the week and has progressed since.
I am confident in him starting this week and I also now know that Oakland is a suburb of Detroit.
