Some casual observers might view Thursday night’s matchup between the Browns and Steelers, on paper, as a lopsided affair.

With Matt Forte out for the foreseeable future and a mess at QB, there’s little fantasy value to be found on the Chicago Bears roster right now.

Darren McFadden, Ahmad Bradshaw and Peyton Hillis appear to be out of action for at least another week, giving extra opportunities to their backups.

Both Darren McFadden and Ahmad Bradshaw are improving, but likely not fast enough to play this week. Meanwhile, no one really knows what’s up with Peyton Hillis and Montario Hardesty.

It’s been reported that the Browns are no longer interested in doing a deal with RB Peyton Hillis. NFL Network’s Michael Lombardi explains on Sunday’s “NFL GameDAy Morning” that Hillis also suffered from erratic behavior when he was with the Broncos.

Peyton Hillis suffers a setback that threatens to keep him off the field; the Giants could miss a pair of key offensive weapons this week; San Diego hopes to have running back help available to assist Mike Tolbert.

The Texans remain optimistic Andre Johnson can return to action Sunday, even though he has been limited in practice most of the week.

In today’s Three and out: Tim Tebow’s days as Denver starter could be short-lived, Fred Davis is in a walking boot and Cleveland is dangerously short on running backs.

Heading into Week 8, the Browns own the league’s fourth-ranked defense, and linebackers Scott Fujita and Chris Gocong are leading the way in pimping a new mantra to go along with their stout play.

Adrian Peterson could become a bigger part of Minnesota’s passing game while it looks like Sam Bradford and Peyton Hillis will be out another week.

Daniel Thomas and Matthew Stafford are both back to work after being limited on Wednesday. But the Peyton Hillis will-he-or-won’t-he saga drags on.

We hear a lot of banter from the public about the “Playbook” crew’s picks every week, especially when fans ardently disagree with a choice of a winner.

After his second concussion of the season, Jahvid Best is being advised to sit out the rest of the season leaving a hole in both the Lions and fantasy owners’ rosters.

With the ink on his contract barely dry, Carson Palmer has apparently already landed the starting job in Oakland. But it may be a week or two before he’s worthy of inserting into your fantasy lineup.

With Julio Jones out of action this week, it seems unlikely that the Falcons will rely on just one receiver to take his place.
