Who's NOT playing today:

Brandon Bolden (NE RB - Knee): With Shane Vereen playing more he may be down anyway

Patrick Chung (NE S - Shoulder): The Patriots are hurting at safety, maybe deep ball works

Pierre Garcon (Was WR - Toe): He doesn't sound remotely close to returning

Robert Mathis (IND LB - Knee): Bad news as the team loses their best defensive player

Troy Polamalu (PIT S - Calf): The more he returns the more he aggravates it, this is bad

Harry Douglas (ATL WR - Ankle): He was ruled out on Friday, may still be 2 weeks out

Bart Scott (NYJ LB - Toe): A Shame too as this snapped a 119 game starting streak

Eddie Royal (SD WR - Hamstring): Not too big of shame as he's never made a fantasy mp

Doug Baldwin (SEA WR - High Ankle Sprain): With the nature of this injury expect a while
