T.J. Houshmandzadeh on his way out of Seattle
The Seattle Seahawks will release wide receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh if they are not able to trade him, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter. The Seahawks are liable to pay whatever his team does not this season. He is guaranteed to make $7 million this season.
Immediately, it would seem that the values of Mike X. Williams, Deion Branch, Golden Tate and Deon Butler receive an upgrade. Reportedly, each of them has performed well in camp, to varying degrees. One caveat: The Seahawks have permission to discuss a long-term deal with the San Diego Chargers' Vincent Jackson. Tap your mouse here for more »

Fantasy football playoffs: Making the call at lineup deadline
It's hard to sit Beanie Wells against the Detroit Lions, huh? This seeming trend - Tim Hightower's effectiveness going down, Wells' touches and production going up - should spell the end of concerns about which is the clear choice, shouldn't it?
Hightower's lack of touches last week may be a reflection of a sour taste on head coach Ken Whisenhunt's palate. Hightower rebounded from poor early-season efforts because Wells had trouble holding on to the leather. Beanie fumbled (and lost it) last week against the San Francisco 49ers, but Hightower has lost fumbles in back-to-back weeks. Tap your mouse here for more »
Fantasy football thoughts: Are you brave enough?
It's the time of year when diminutive decisions can have immense implications. And it's not because Santa Claus will cross you off his list. (For the record, I've been nice and wouldn't mind a Google Android, Sr. Kringle.)
In many a fantasy football league, playoffs begin this week. Information is vital. Comprehensive analysis is in short supply. Waiver claims are crucial. Lineup decisions are critical. And you can never have too much peppermint bark. Tap your mouse here for more »
Fantasy football: What to do with Brian Westbrook, Clinton Portis, Dwayne Bowe
We have hit a crucial period in the fantasy football season. The trade deadline in many leagues has passed, so the waiver wire is your surreal squad's sole source of sustenance. Recent developments have you pining for players in the pool.
Philadelphia Eagles halfback Brian Westbrook has absorbed two concussions in the span of three weeks.

Rebound candidates for your fantasy football team
Fantasy owners often let one disappointing season from a player turn them off. History doesn't always repeat itself.
RB Ryan Grant, Packers – The NFL's second-leading rusher from Week 8 on during the 2007 season was a huge 2008 bust. His contract dispute meant a very late start followed by a debilitating hamstring injury. He was a shell of himself in the first seven games (3.4 yards an attempt). Tap your mouse here for more »
