| Redskins linebacker London Fletcher is suffering from a sprained foot and won't practice on Wednesday, and probably will not on Thursday, according to the Washington Post. |
Our View: Fletcher dealt with this problem last week and still made 14 tackles. It's possible he won't play this week, so IDP owners will need to check his status. He has 100 tackles on the season. |

|
| The Washington Redskins have inked linebacker Brandon Archer to their practice squad, according to the Washington Post. |
Our View: Archer was with the Colts last season, but was released this summer during training camp. |

|
|
| The Redskins have not talked about inserting backup Todd Collins at quarterback due to the struggles of Jason Campbell, according to the Sporting News Today. |
Our View: The backup quarterback is routinely the most popular player in town, and though Campbell has struggled recently, he hasn't been bad enough to sit. He has little fantasy value at this point, however, especially against the Giants' 10th ranked pass defense. |

|
| Shawn Springs aggravated his torn calf muscle in Sunday's loss to the Giants, according to the Washington Post. |
Our View: Coach Jim Zorn did not speculate if he will be ready to play in Week 14 against Baltimore. The Redskins' secondary is unstable and cannot afford to lose the solid cornerback again. |
|
|
|
| Clinton Portis' neck is really sore following Sunday's NFC East battle with the rival Giants, according to the Washington Post. |
Our View: His knee is holding up fine, but Portis could be held out of practice most of the week. There is belief he will be able to play Sunday at Baltimore, but a decision won't be made until later in the week. Fantasy owners should consider acquiring Ladell Betts (if possible) for the stretch run as insurance. |
|
|
|
| Marcus Washington is likely to miss Week 14 at Baltimore due to his high-ankle sprain, according to the Washington Post. |
Our View: Washington is on the decline, and the Redskins' defense wouldn't lose much if H.B. Blades is needed for another start at strong-side linebacker Sunday. |

| London Fletcher fought through his foot injury to rack up 14 tackles (11 solo) in Sunday's loss to the Giants, but coach Jim Zorn noted he will likely be a game-time call for Week 14 at Baltimore, according to the Washington Post. The elite linebacker said, "I'm hurting. It's not as much pain, but it's a significant amount of swelling. I compare it to a pregnant woman's foot. I didn't do any damage to it. It's just a matter of getting the swelling down and hoping some of the pain will continue to subside after we get further away from the initial injury."
|
Our View: Fletcher has exactly 100 tackles (71 solo) this season. Hopefully he can play this weekend, when the playoffs start for some IDP leagues. |
