The Patriots listed Tom Brady as questionable for Thursday’s game at Detroit, but fantasy enthusiasts should not panic.

The magic that makes Michael Vick so special, and maybe the MVP of the entire league this season, is exactly what could also lead to his demise. It’s going to be a problem that Vick really doesn’t know how to protect himself on the field.

Lions rookie RB Jahvid Best is expected to play Thursday against the Patriots, but he is still a huge fantasy risk. Best has shown some true grit battling through his turf toe injury, but he has been a pain for fantasy owners wanting to believe in him. Best rushed just three times on Sunday at Dallas for 2 yards.

The November Nine. No, it’s not just the name given to the final table at the World Series of Poker. It also represents a feat two NFL teams are trying to accomplish Sunday night.

In continuing with our theme of talking with players about favorite Thanksgiving memories, we talked to emerging Green Bay Packers wide receiving threat James Jones, wide receiver Jerricho Cotchery of the New York Jets, and inside linebacker Bradie James of the Dallas Cowboys.

NFL.com senior writer Steve Wyche reports from Florham Park, New Jersey, on the evolution of Jets QB Mark Sanchez, who has shown the team that he can win games instead of just managing them.

While benching Brett Favre is unfathomable for some, many on the outside are clamoring for the Vikings, at 3-7 and with little reasonable hope for the playoffs, to turn the page from No. 4. NFL Network analyst Mike Mayock says the time is now.

Some of you know this drill already. If there is a wide receiver or tight end from the Colts available in your fantasy league, go ahead and add him now.

Some players don’t get the headlines, but still make valuable contributions to help their teams win. Don’t sleep on Keiland Williams, Brandon Banks, Alterraun Verner and Marc Mariani.

Tim Tebow was a mild irritant for fantasy owners when he started sneaking touchdowns away from the other Broncos you actually had on your team. But Tebow could develop into a full-blown fantasy rash if the Broncos continue to falter down the stretch.

I’m already impressed with the direction the Ravens are going, and when it matters most in six weeks, they’re capable of being the best team in the AFC.

A familiar name leads the way for 2011 Pro Bowl voting: Peyton Manning.

The Eagles made the biggest move this week, sliding up to No. 4 in my latest power rankings.

Poor Chargers QB Philip Rivers, four touchdowns and nobody is going to bother to notice. At least not after Eagles QB Michael Vick set the bar so high. At least he’s in the mix for Hall of Fame QB Dan Marino‘s single-season passing record.

Fantasy football sure can be fickle. One week, you are taunting your friend as Eagles QB Michael Vick scored touchdown after touchdown after touchdown. The next week you are crying.
