Aaron Rodgers was able to practice on Thursday, which is a good sign for fantasy owners.

Losing Jermichael Finley is devastating for the Packers. The Packers use Finley all over the field, and he doesn’t need to catch a lot of passes to have an impact on the game.

I might have to consult Dave Dameshek on this, but Packers QB Aaron Rodgers could be a candidate for the fantasy enemies list. Which on one hand seems obscene in that he is the best fantasy quarterback in the business.

Look, if you’re down by 15 points going into the Monday night game, you’re opponent is done for the week and you’ve got the combination of Matt Forte and Greg Jennings, well, let’s just say I was optimistic.

For those Ravens who complained about those long, extended practices — don’t bother showing up to Larry Fitzgerald‘s workouts at the University of Minnesota.

If Packers QB Aaron Rodgers is on the board in the second half of the first round in fantasy drafts, there’s no reason not to take him.

NFL players are no strangers to making the leap over to a film or television career. A transition that sometimes appears as seamless as a well-run pass route.

The Browns’ Friday injury report reflected the good news that nine of their 10 players are over the flu, but KR/WR Josh Cribbs (knee) was limited in practice on Friday and is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Packers.

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

Packers safety Atari Bigby has been ruled out of Sunday’s game against the Bengals because of a knee injury suffered in Week 1 and could miss up to a month, according to the team’s Web site. Third-year pro Aaron Rouse is expected to replace Bigby in the lineup.

Packers wideout Greg Jennings had some memorable moments with Brett Favre as his quarterback. Now, with Favre poised to become the Vikings’ next QB, Jennings told the is just happy that the all of the offseason drama has moved from Green Bay to Minnesota.

Packers star WR Greg Jennings has agreed to terms on his new deal with the Packers.

Though Packers WR Greg Jennings said the resolution to a contract extension was “close,” the sides aren’t near finalizing a deal, according to a team source. Even Jennings admitted that several areas still have to be bridged and a deal might not be finalized before training camp.

With the fantasy football season over (unless you signed up for our Playoff Challenge, of course), it’s time to start looking ahead to 2009.

I’ll be working on a complete list of player rankings over the next several weeks, but for now, I’ll offer up the top five players per position over the next few days.

I’ve already run through the quarterbacks and running backs, so here are the wide receivers:

After three weeks of being statistically invisible, Braylon Edwards has finally found the end zone.

He scored on a 4-yard pass from Derek Anderson that put the Browns ahead of Cincinnati 10-6. Of course, Edwards only has two catches for 10 yards on the afternoon, so he’s not exactly lighting the fantasy world on fire, either.
