Black and Blue Report: Playoff injuries

Fantasy College Blitz

We�re deep in the playoffs now � if not already to the championship game.� Let�s not waste time.�

Arkansas: Felix Jones, RB

Jones is questionable for this week�s game due to a thigh injury sustained last week against Tennessee.� He barely played last week as well.

Fantasy Take:� As Arkansas�s at 6-4, they are bowl eligible and may end up as an alternate team somewhere (since the SEC is already at 10 bowl-eligible teams).� However, they are also 5^th in the SEC West, so they need the game.� Expect Jones to play, but don�t count on him; Mississippi State�s run D isn�t terrible.�

Florida: Percy Harvin, WR

Harvin is questionable this week due to an

Black and Blue Report - Just a Little Boo Boo

Make sure to use this as your first stop, but don't hesitate to use the other resources on this site; both the forums and the external links have a ton of info.

Kentucky: Keenan Burton, WR, and Rafael Little, RB

Fantasy College Blitz

Alright gents, it's playoff time and like Joe Namath said during his Alabama days - "When you win, nothing hurts."

GOING DEEP: No debate for the top receivers

Fantasy College Blitz

You can have your LSU vs. Alabama, you Arizona State at Oregon - the game I want to see is the Fantasy Game of the Week on CSTV: Tulsa at Tulane!

Tulsa QB Paul Smith is Top Five in many leagues and Tulane RB Matt Forte is going for his fifth straight 200-yard game. Unfortunately there are no receivers of note in this game since Tulsa spreads the ball around a lot and Forte averages 28 carries a game.

So to fulfill my WR fix, I present the Prime Time or Pine Time for the Receivers for Week Ten.
