After three Rams losses, it's pretty evident 2009 is going to be a long season in St. Louis (the third straight of the variety). Monday, they received some more bad news -- that Laurent Robinson, a member of the already paper-thin receiving corps, will likely miss the remainder of the season after injuring his lower leg (both a fractured fibula and high ankle sprain) during Sunday's loss to Green Bay.

Quarterback Marc Bulger also left the game injured, but his injury isn't deemed as serious, now that he's been diagnosed with a bruised rotator cuff. Earlier Monday, some feared Bulger had a torn rotator cuff and would also miss the remainder of the season. Of course, clouding matters is that Kyle Boller came in relief of Bulger and looked far superior.

Yes, yes, I know. You followed our fantasy advice all weekend and your teams are already far enough ahead. But there may still be some people filtering in on the hot street rumor that FanHouse pwns and what not. So we've got to show some love and examine some of the important fantasy players in both games tonight.

Minnesota Vikings @ Green Bay Packers (7:00 EST)
Denver Broncos @ Oakland Raiders (10:15 EST)
You should probably know, at this point, to start Adrian Peterson. You do know that, right? Don't bench him for Ryan Grant or anything. Who you should probably have already benched. If you haven't, I actually rank him last out of all the backs involved in tonight's games, so, yeah: bench him if you own (in order) AP, Selvin Young (who you should also start if you own), Darren McFadden or Justin Fargas. The Vikings' rush defense is just too stout to expect a whole lot.

New QB Aaron Rodgers is only a start in a two QB league but if he's in your lineup at this point, you're probably going to end up rolling the dice. Tonight only Jay Cutler is better and if you've got Rodgers penciled in to start right now, you've already got issues. I'd avoid JaMarcus Russell or whatever corpse the Vikes roll out in place of Tavaris Jackson.
