The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette confirms Rashard Mendenhall (Achilles') is expected to start on Sunday Night Football against the Ravens. It will be Mendenhall's first appearance in over a month; he last played in a game on Thursday Night Football against the Titans on October 11. After such a long layoff in an offense that may struggle to move the ball without Ben Roethlisberger, Mendenhall can't be counted upon as more than a risky flex play, despite a favorable matchup with an underperforming Baltimore run defense.

lol have same 2 and in ppr.. ive got reece in right now.. last i heard mcfadden is still gonna be out this week. on the flip side though im guessing leftwich is gonna suck and they might try to depend on mendy for lots of runs and dumpoffs.. ahh the fun

yeah I think im going with reece. The receptions are huge and i dont think mendy will be getting many. Even more of a curve for me is that Sproles is coming back and he is on my bench right now....even more fun

don't play Sproles unless he's active. He's a game time decision now

flyingwallendas Sat 11/17/12 9:19 AM

obviously, wait to see if hes active, but if he is i think thats gonna be a shoot out which would mean lots of passing

DO NOT PLAY SPROLES,,,,,!,!,!,! He is merely fielding kickoff and punt returns tomorrow. I repeat. Do not play SPROLES.
