Crooked Pitch

I wanted to share a few links with all of you. Enjoy!

• Damage Control is an article I write every Monday morning over at FanHouse. It takes a look at injuries from the previous weekend that could have fantasy football impact.
• I also write a daily column at FanHouse called Fantasy Football Cut-N-Go. It’s a link dump as well and today I spoke about the rash of quarterback injuries, Alex Smith wanting to kill Michael Crabtree’s fantasy value, Bruce Gradkowski’s ability to gel with his receivers like JaMarcus Russell couldn’t and a few others. Check it out.
• According to the Associated Press, Calvin Johnson is doubtful for Thursday’s game as is tough-man Matthew Stafford.
• ESPN debunks the theory that  Reggie Bush should be moved to wide receiver.

Reggie Bush has seen his role increase over the past week, but that extra work may have taken a toll on his surgically repaired knee. According to Brett Martel of the Associated Press, the running back will not join the team in Tampa — increasing the fantasy value of Pierre Thomas this Sunday.

Running back Reggie Bush and defensive tackle Sedrick Ellis are not traveling with the New Orleans Saints for Sunday’s game against Tampa Bay.

Bush missed practice this week with swelling in his left knee, the same knee on which he had surgery last December to repair cartilage. Bush is coming off one of his best games of the season in St. Louis last Sunday, when he gained 98 yards and scored two touchdowns on six rushes and a pair of receptions.
