Some players — and even some coaches — bring a blue-collar, working-man approach to their football, and we like to honor that spirit with the Hardest Working Man award.

Texans coach Gary Kubiak assured fantasy enthusiasts when he said that WR Dre Johnson was going to miss “some time.” And by assuring us, I mean he could not have been more vague. Oh well, hopefully Dre will start tweeting out MRI photos like his teammate Arian Foster did.

Against a suspect Eagles run defense, Ahmad Bradshaw leads the way among top fantasy flex players in Week 3.

The Rams had a rough day on the field and it could get rougher if Danny Amendola’s injury keeps him out for the season.

Time for our fantasy takes on the NFL news of the day …

Shame on you, Mr. Dameshek, for taking Hines Ward to task for his dancing prowess. Didn’t you see what happened to the football players in “Mr. Holland’s Opus” when they took ballet?

Maurice Jones-Drew, the NFL’s second-leading rusher, won’t play in the Jaguars’ home game against the Redskins because of a knee injury that kept him out of practice all week.

The Raiders had nine players listed as questionable for Sunday’s matchup with the Jaguars in Jacksonville.

As expected, Kerry Collins will be the Titans’ starting QB in Sunday’s AFC South showdown with the Jaguars.

The Jaguars will have their two top offensive weapons Sunday against the Giants.

Mike Sims-Walker, the Jaguars No. 1 wideout, is inactive for Sunday’s showdown with the Browns.

Pulling in a couple of fantasy thoughts from the Twitterverse: TD, Peyton Hillis. The man is matchup proof! 8 carries, 52 yards, TD vs. the Jets. Wow. LeGarrette Blount on pace for a huge game — 78 yards, TD on six carries. Someone named Josh Vaughan just scored for the Panthers. He was on the practice squad earlier in the week! Mike Sims-Walker injured…bad news for fantasy owners if he can’t come back … Chad Ochocinco scores a TD. Figures. I benched him this week … Josh Freeman is so underrated. Another TD. Do you guys think he could be a top-10 fantasy QB next season? Where do you guys see him being drafted in 2011? Round 5? Round 6? [...]

Oh the shame! My Cowboys are terrible, but they’re great if you have Jags on your fantasy team.

Jaguars coach Jack Del Rio called Mike Sims-Walker trade rumors “garbage”.

Mike Sims-Walker has been a disappointment, but I’d still start him in Week 5.
