Linehan trying to trade Holt?

Rams head coach Scott Linehan is attempting to trade or release wide receiver Torry Holt because their relationship is to the point that they despise each other, according to Howard Balzer of InsideStL.com.

Our View: Linehan recently told the media that the relationship between he and Holt was "great," though they have never really seemed to be on the same page. This really can't end soon enough for Rams fans.

Curtis could play Week 5

There is a possibility that Eagles receiver Kevin Curtis will play Week 5 when the team takes on the Redskins, according to Pro Football Weekly.

Our View: Curtis has been out with a sports hernia. He certainly deserves the attention of fantasy owners upon his return, especially with the way the Eagles are moving the ball this season.

Fargas will remain starter

Oakland running back Justin Fargas will remain the team's starter at running back when he gets healthy, according to Pro Football Weekly.

Our View: Fargas has only played in two games, but he's played well, rushing for 5.2 yards per carry on 27 rushes. He will not play Week 4, but his status after that is up in the air.

Linehan gone if Rams lose

Rams head coach Scott Linehan would become ex-Rams head coach if the team loses on Sunday to the Buffalo Bills, according to BuffaloBills.com. The website referenced Peter King as reporting this during halftime of Saturday's Notre Dame game.

Our View: Linehan has been a complete disaster as a head coach. He's also had a busy week - benching Marc Bulger, releasing one of their better cover corners in Fahkir Brown and making many changes to the starting lineup on defense. Chances are excellent that the Rams lose to Buffalo, and hopefully team owner Chip Rosenbloom also cans GM Jay Zygmunt, who is equally responsible for the team's utter horrendousness.

Keller to be more involved

The New York Jets want to get rookie tight end Dustin Keller involved in the passing game more often, according to Pro Football Weekly.

Our View: Using their athletic tight end would add another element to the team's offense. Keller has just five catches for 60 yards and one touchdown. Fantasy owners should take note of this report and pay attention to the number of targets Keller receives in the team's contest against the Cardinals.

Gramatica on hot seat

New Orleans kicker Martin Gramatica is dangerously close to losing his job if he continues to struggle, according to Pro Football Weekly.

Our View: Gramatica missed a potential game-winning kick last week in Denver. He is 3-for-5 on field goal tries this season, though to be fair, only one of those tries has been under 40 yards.

Williams may lose carries

Panthers starting running back DeAngelo Williams may lose carries to rookie Jonathan Stewart if he does not perform better soon, according to Pro Football Weekly.

Our View: Stewart has 145 rushing yards to Williams' 144, but in eight fewer carries. He also has three touchdowns to Williams' zero. The one thing that may separate them is that Williams is better as a receiver out of the backfield and has four catches, while Stewart has none. Still, it is becoming increasingly clear that Stewart will be the one garnering carries as the year rolls forward.

Jones to get the ball more

Jaguars offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter said the the team needs to find more ways to get the ball to leading receiver Matt Jones according to the Florida Times-Union.

Our View: Jones, who has caught 16 passes for 173 yards this season, has emerged from what appeared to be his last season in Jacksonville to become the team's go-to receiver. However, Jerry Porter makes his debut this weekend and could detract from Jones' targets.
