RB Larry Johnson's foot a little sore on Wednesday
OPINION: According to KCChiefs.com, Chiefs RB Larry Johnson (foot) was very limited today in practice and was a little sore. When asked if L.J. would play in Week 16, heach coach Herm Edwards had this to say: "I've got to see where that's at, but he's just limited right now. I'd say that he's questionable, probably." Edwards wouldn't call the soreness a setback, but much is still to be determined. "I don't know if that was a setback, we'll just find out tomorrow and the next day," Edwards said. FANTASY: No one better be counting on L.J. in Week 16. Even if, by some miracle, he plays this weekend, he would surely be limited. Kolby Smith is a solid RB2 and a very solid flex-option in Week 16 against the Lions. Not sure if Kolby Smith should be starting for you in Week 16? Well, get on our OPINION Forums and get some line-up advice from our insanely dedicated OPINION contributors, Tavaner and Craphonso!

RB Reggie Bush back at practice Wednesday?
OPINION: According to Nola.com, Saints RB Reggie Bush was back at practice on Wednesday after sitting out the last two games with a torn PCL in his left knee, but the runner was limited and obviously not close to 100% healthy. "It felt pretty good; we'll see how it goes and make a decision when the time comes," Bush said about his injured knee. FANTASY: If Bush were to give it a go in Week 16, it would likely be a last second decision. So if you can't sit by news wires on Sunday morning, you better leave Bush out of your line-up. We doubt he plays, but that is just a guess at this point.

RB Larry Johnson (foot) upgraded to questionable?
OPINION: According to KCChiefs.com, Chiefs RB Larry Johnson (foot) is listed as questionable for Week 16, which is an upgrade from his traditional "out" status. FANTASY: L.J. has almost no chance of playing this week and we highly doubt he plays a down in Week 17. It just wouldn't be worth it. This is still great news for all you dynasty league owners out there, and that includes us. We own Larry Johnson in two Dynasty Expert Leagues and we're confident he will be fully ready for the 2008 season.

"He will not play this following weekend, I can assure you of that," Polian reportedly said in a radio interview. "His knee has healed, it's a matter of conditioning now, and until we can put him out there for 60 plays a game, he won't play." FANTASY: Harrison has to get in line if he wants to make the "Bust of the Year" top 10, but he is surely on the short list. It will be very interesting to see where everyone drafts Harrison in early 2008 fantasy mock drafts.

If there's no meaning to the Green Bay game there's no reason of going out there and tearing the PCL completely. If playoffs are on the line, I'll put myself on the line too," Williams said. FANTASY: Good news for dynasty/keeper owners, as most leagues do not play Week 17, nor would he likely produce in his first game back. Roy Williams should return to top 10-12 status entering 2008 fantasy football drafts.
