This article references Cory Harkey and more! Fullback Cory Harkey was informed by the Los Angeles Rams that he has been waived. Harkey had previously served as the team's fullback under Jeff Fisher, but new head coach Sean McVay has instead elected to run without a fullback for now. This means that McVay is showing a lot of confidence in both star running back Todd Gurley and his offensive line to get the job done without a blocking back. Rookie Sam Rogers may still make the practice squad, but his future will depend on how McVay's experim[...]Keep on reading: Cory Harkey Cut By Rams

We have reached Week 9 and a second consecutive week that has six teams on a bye. That many players being unavailable for a given week can make things very interesting when deciding on roster and lineup decisions. Without further ado ... QUARTERBACKS STUDS Aaron Rodgers Drew Brees Peyton Manning * bye week * Matthew Stafford * bye week * Cam Newton Matt Ryan Tony Romo Robert Griffin III Philip Rivers Parting is Such Sweet Sorrow Michael Vick: The Chip Kelly offense seems stuck in neutral whether it's been Vick or Nick Foles running the ship. This latest hamstring issue will sideline Vick for a few weeks as well as hamper him upon his return. Health and availability issues make him too risky to be considered a must start once he does return. START Andrew Luck, IDIANAPOLIS at Houston: Luck posted four touchdowns with no interceptions in two games against the Texans last season but averaged only 193 passing yards. Three weeks ago, St. Louis quarterback Sam Bradford threw touchdowns to guys named (Brian) Quick, (Lance) Kendricks and (Cory) Harkey against Houston. Luck will be just fine hooking up with (T.Y.) Hilton, (Darrius) Heyward-Bey and (Coby) Fleener. Andy Dalton, CINCINNATI at Miami: Is Dalton hot? Over his last three games he has completed 66 percent of his passes while averaging 344 yards per game with 11 touchdowns and two interceptions. One more week like the previous three and Dalton will be moving on up. Terrelle Pryor, OAKLAND vs. Philadelphia: The Eagles are a top-10 team in allowing fantasy points to the quarterback position. Pryor will continue to post excellent rushing numbers (166 yards in his last two games) and can actually exploit a Philadelphia secondary that's allowing more than 300 yards per game through the air. Alex Smith, KANSAS CITY at Buffalo: Smith's two passing touchdowns last Sunday were his first since Week 4. Look for him to put up at least two more this week against a Buffalo defense that has allowed 20 this season. Start ‘The Game Manager' with confidence as the Chiefs roll over the Bills. Jake Locker, TENNESSEE at St. Louis: Locker is a dual threat that has the receiving weapons to hurt teams through the air as well as the athleticism to pull the ball down and churn out yards. The inclusion of running back Chris Johnson as a receiving threat (11 catches, 155 yards, 2 TD the last three games) really boosts Locker's value. St. Louis will bring just enough pressure to force Locker to run the ball a ...
