| 23. | *Andrew Luck IND vs. Hou Note: One of three playoff quarterbacks who is locked into their playoff position - reduced playing time this week is a big threat.

| 24. | *Ryan Fitzpatrick BUF vs. NYJ Note: Got the dreaded vote of confidence from Chan Gailey about Week 17's start - it's not as if Gailey was contemplating a switch, but the performance was weak enough to ask the question. |

| 32. | *Terrelle Pryor OAK at SD Note: Leinart and Pryor will probably split the snaps with Palmer out this week. Pryor named the starter this week. |
| 33. | *Matt Leinart OAK at SD Note: Leinart and Pryor will probably split the snaps with Palmer out this week. Pryor named the starter this week. |
| 34. | *Ryan Lindley ARZ at SF Note: Was pulled for Brian Hoyer halfway through the game. |

| 6. | *Arian Foster HOU at Ind Note: Irregular heartbeat - saw a cardiologist on Monday and checked out ok. The current plan is for him to play, but until I see the practice reports, he's a little lower in the rankings. Listed as 100 percent - so I'm moving him back up a little bit. |
| 7. | Doug Martin TB at Atl |
| 8. | DeMarco Murray DAL at Was |
| 9. | Stevan Ridley NE vs. Mia |
| 10. | Frank Gore SF vs. Ari |

| 13. | Montell Owens JAC at Ten |
| 14. | Shonn Greene NYJ at Buf |
| 15. | LeSean McCoy PHI at NYG |
| 16. | Reggie Bush MIA at NE Note: The Dolphins hope to re-sign Bush this offseason, reversing their original intentions. |
| 17. | *DeAngelo Williams CAR at NO Note: Early long touchdown called back due to a penalty on the Panthers, ending up making Williams have a disappointing day. |
| 18. | *Matt Forte CHI at Det Note: Injured his right ankle again Sunday and was in a walking boot afterward. Despite that, he vowed that 'it would be pretty hard to imagine him not playing.' Full practice Friday, listed as probable. |

| 26. | Mark Ingram NO vs. Car |
| 27. | Ryan Grant GB at Min |

| 39. | Joique Bell DET vs. Chi |
| 40. | Ronnie Hillman DEN vs. KC |

| 15. | Jeremy Maclin PHI at NYG |
| 16. | James Jones GB at Min |
| 17. | *A.J. Green CIN vs. Bal Note: Will the Bengals bench their starters this week? I'm starting to believe that Green and company will play at least the first half, maybe more, unless the outcome is decided early. |

| 19. | *Brandon Lloyd NE vs. Mia Note: (Knee) Shockingly enough, listed as questionable but likely to play. |

Tight Ends
| 1. | Jason Witten DAL at Was |

| 36. | *Brandon Pettigrew DET vs. Chi Note: (Ankle) Doubtful - and there's really no reason to rush him back. |
| 37. | *Dustin Keller NYJ at Buf Note: Didn't travel with the team to Buffalo. |
| 38. | *Rob Housler ARZ at SF Note: Sprained AC joint, won't play this week. |
