Even in the internet age of fantasy sports, I still think many players only partake in the games against groups of friends. Many of these leagues have live drafts in person, and the stories that come from these drafts are always great -- especially when alcohol is prominently involved. In fact, if you play fantasy sports and you don't have at least one of these a year, you are really missing out. 
Every week when the dinner bell rings on Friday evening, we'll be here to provide you a comprehensive injury report for the NFL weekend to follow. For those injuries that go right down to the wire, drop by our live Fantasy Fanhouse experts live chat from 10 am to 1 pm every Sunday and we'll take care of you on those bloody game-time decisions. As always, please feel free to chime in with opinions, updates, and rumors in the comments.
The Arizona Cardinals
Steve Breaston - Breaston practiced lightly this week with a knee injury, but is expected to play on Sunday.
The Atlanta Falcons
Michael Turner - Turner was seen with his ankle in a bucket of ice (owww)after Sunday's game, but he says it is not serious and will be ready.
The Chicago Bears
Devin Hester - Hester has some torn cartilage in his ribs and has not practiced this week. I doubt if anybody starts Hester, but if so look elsewhere as he probably will not play.

The Baltimore Ravens
Todd Heap - Heap left the game last week after coming in as Probable. Now listed as questionable, he is not looking like a great start either way.
Willis McGahee - Looks like Willis should be ready to kick off his 2008 season this week against the Texans. He seems to be improving, but not 100% quite yet though, so keep a close eye on him. After all, he was expected to go last week. The Hurricane Ike related move to Monday night helps McGahee owner's chances.
The Buffalo Bills
The Bills do not have any material injuries to watch, but it bears mentioning that their best lineman, Jason Peters, finally ended his contract holdout and is ready to go this week. Marshawn Lynch owners everywhere are currently doing the worm.

Value machine takes a look at the rising and falling fantasy stock of players in light of their recent performance. If you don't see a big mover covered, he's probably already been hit in Reality Check.

The one bright offensive spot for the Seattle Seahawks during Sunday's beatdown at the hands of the Bills was Nate Burleson. And how could he not be? After his star rose briefly in the absence of Randy Moss in Minnesota, he fell just as quickly, becoming a great punt returner (not a compliment) in Seattle. But this year ... this year was different. After all, with Bobby Engram and Deion Branch both out, Nate was set to become Matt Hasselbeck's next great target.... Burleson suffered a torn knee ligament in the third quarter of Sunday's loss in Buffalo, and will undergo season-ending surgery. Burleson caught five passes before leaving, including a touchdown. He led the team in scoring receptions last season with nine.This is the very definition of a devastating blow to a Seahawk team that was struggling already to find an identity and straight up reeling after the loss to Buffalo. This now also makes Courtney Taylor the number one wide receiver on Seattle's roster.
