Whether it's torn, sprained, broken or just needs to be taped, Injuries to Watch will keep you up to date on injuries around the NFL and how they'll affect your fantasy football team.
Quarterback
• Aaron Rodgers, Packers - Rodgers sat out of practice on Wednesday with sprained right foot and sore toe on his left foot. He's not expected to participate in practice until Friday, but he is expected to play on Sunday.
• Matthew Stafford, Lions - Stafford practiced on Wednesday, but only as a limited participant. His right knee is banged up.
Did the injury bug hit your fantasy football team like it was a car windshield moving at 100 MPH? If so, it may be time to do some Damage Control.
Quarterback
• Aaron Rodgers, Packers - Rodgers has been sacked 31 times this season to lead the NFL. On Sunday he sprained his toe. His opposite foot was already injured, so watch to see how well he's moving around this week. I would expect him to play through these foot injuries.
• Jake Delhomme, Panthers - Delhomme sustained a chest injury against Arizona on Sunday but said on Monday that he feels fine. There's no reason to think that he won't be ready for Week 9.

High expectations greeted the Green Bay Packers in August, as the team arrived at training camp. Practices -- held across the street from Lambeau Field -- were very physical, as the Packers tried to show they wouldn't be bullied around like they were far too often in 2008.
That 6-10 season, we all were told, was a memory. It was a fluke. It wasn't how things would be conducted in Green Bay. Bad tackling, soft defense, poor special teams play, and stupid penalties were going to be a thing of the past.
Going by Austin's last two games, he should be at the top, but it's not a stretch to think his 150-yard, two-TD per game stretch will come to an end this week. Sooner or later, Nicks will have a game where he doesn't catch a long TD; it would have come in Week 7 if not for a lucky bounce off Steve Smith's hands.
I have nothing bad to say about Sims-Walker, except that he'd better make curfew this week!
Go to your league's ranking page and sort the wide receivers by average production per game. It's probably not a shock to see two Patriots in the top six, but did you realize that there were three Giants receivers in the top 15? Steve Smith has obviously caught our attention, and Mario Manningham has caught TDs in back-to-back weeks to remain fantasy relevant. Coming up in a blaze of points is Hakeem Nicks, who has scored over 10 points in each of his last three contests by catching long touchdown after long touchdown -- in fact, he only had one catch in Week 4 and took it 54 yards for a score for an 11.4-point game. Are all three starter-worthy this week?

We all know about the drama leading into Monday night's Green Bay-Minnesota game. Yes, much of it is media-driven, but you can't write a storyline like this for Hollywood.
It doesn't take a genius to figure out that Brett Favre wants to beat the Packers. He might say it's "just another game" or whatever, but you should know better. Similarly, the Packers might say it's just another game, but you know they'd like to get a few shots in and pick Favre off a couple times. For Monday's visitors, however, there is another motivating factor at work.

Riser of the Week:Pierre Thomas was the apple of many a fantasy owner's eye heading into the season, but he was hampered by a knee injury for the first two weeks. Sunday, he reintroduced himself to the fantasy football world -- so let's hope you held onto him if you drafted him. Thomas ran through the Buffalo defense for 126 yards on just 14 carries, scoring two touchdowns. The Saints do have two tough matchups coming (Jets and Giants), but, long-term, Pierre is going to be a solid RB2.
Here's how it works. We throw some intriguing matchups at the FanHouse staff and ask whether each player will be over or under a certain point total. The result? Fantasy Football Over/Under. Makes sense, right?
If you're having trouble gauging whether Willis McGahee is worth starting, or whether you should play waiver-wire finds Johnny Knox and Lynell Hamilton this week, you'd probably appreciate a second opinion. Here in the Over/Under, we give you more than just seconds -- several Fantasy FanHouse staffers are more than ready to jump in with their views on difficult start/sit decisions. And just to keep it fun, we also try and peg whether the big names actually will come up big yet again.
There were massive changes made on the Green Bay Packers coaching staff after 2008 -- a season in which the team went 6-10, seemingly bottomed out on defense with a generally putrid season, and somehow couldn't score enough points with a highly-rated quarterback and potent offense to make up for all of it.
New coordinator Dom Capers brought promises of change with him, as he installed the 3-4 defense. However, an alarming performance Sunday at home against Cincinnati showed that Capers and his new staff still have a lot of work, as they try to pull the players out of a funk that threatens to ruin yet another football season in Wisconsin.
All that stuff about great quarterbacks slinging it around? Forget it. This is, after all, the oldest of old-school NFL rivalries. It's not usually pretty when the Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears get together.
However, it is 2009. You don't win a football game without your quarterback making a big play. That's what eventually happened Sunday night -- Green Bay's Aaron Rodgers broke out of a game-long funk to find Greg Jennings on a game-winning touchdown pass with 1:11 to go, giving the Packers a come-from-behind 21-15 win over Chicago in a rather strange season opener at Lambeau Field.
