Week 9 alerts

Quick note to all Fantasy Football players out there, there is a possibility that Hakeem Nicks may not play at New England, which should mean that Victor Cruz will get the start. So, if you have Victor Cruz, I'd heavily advise to start him against that weak Patriots pass defense. Why not throw Mario Manningham into the mix as well?

Also, I've read that Giants running back Ahmad Bradshaw has a stress fracture in his foot. There is still a possibility that Bradshaw would play, although I would be surprised he'd risk further injury. Until that is further accessed, I'd advise grabbing Brandon Jacobs while you can, in case anything else happens to Bradshaw.

Willis McGahee of the Denver Broncos has been in limited practice and there is a possibility that he may play against the Oakland Raiders. Therefore, if you added Knowshon Moreno off waivers, just take note of the McGahee status. I personally think he's trying to come back too early, but, that's his decision to come back.

And finally, speaking of the Raiders-Broncos game, all signs point to Darren McFadden sitting out this Sunday, so if you have Michael Bush, I highly suggest getting McFadden's handcuff and starting him!
