Team USA had a lot of pride at stake in Saturday’s game against The World at Lockhart Stadium.

A number of team and league records were broken in Week 17, while some players joined elite statistical company on all-time lists.

The luck factor in fantasy football, especially during the postseason, is so frustrating!

Neither the 49ers nor Bears seem to want to grab this game by the horns.

49ers 7, Bears 3 at the half.

About what we expected.

The jawing between Adewale Ogunleye and Vernon Davis before the game was no joke. I was right on the sidelines and at one point I thought they were gonna throw down. Cooler heads prevailed.

The 49ers will need Frank Gore to be prepared for a heavy work load on Thursday night against the Bears, as backup RB Glen Coffee (concussion) has been officially ruled out.

Here’s a look at some of the bigger news and notes that fantasy owners need to know for the upcoming Week 8 of the NFL season.

Fantasy owners who started 49ers QB Shaun Hill will be disappointed.

Teams have released their practice participation reports for Thursday. Here’s a look at some of the notable players.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said Thursday that RB Marion Barber will play this week. That’s news that would otherwise overjoy me, as Barber is a key part of one of my fantasy teams. But why am I feeling this sense of dread?

Chad Pennington, Shawne Merriman and Frank Gore were among the key players who sustained injuries in Week 3.

NFL Network’s Jason La Canfora reports 49ers RB Frank Gore suffered a high ankle strain on Sunday and is likely to miss at least the next two games, according to a league source.

Glen Coffee will be a hot name on the fantasy waiver wire in Week 4.
