CB Antonio Cromartie is active and will play. The Chargers aren't missing anyone with much fantasy value.

Tight end Zach Miller is active and will start against the Chargers on Thursday.

Ellis has had some fantasy value this year with seven sacks and one forced fumble, but he is owned in just over 10 percent of leagues.

Holland's addition signals that Ashley Lelie may be inactive for Thursday's game against the Chargers. We'll keep you posted.

This move shouldn't have any affect on fantasy.

The Jaguars will miss Mathis, who leads the franchise in career interceptions. Mathis had been owned in about 20 percent in leagues, but any owners with him still on their roster can drop him now.

Young has been a huge bust in fantasy this year after getting injured early and never getting his job back from Kerry Collins once Young returned. Young really doesn't have any fantasy value at this point as a backup.

McFadden has been pretty hit or miss in fantasy this year. He's only gone over 100 yards once with just three touchdowns this season.

Johnson will likely go for a one-year deal, but is unlikely to take a discount that he offered Arizona to re-sign him.

Sanchez went 9-12 with a 5.01 ERA last year, but he's still only 26.

Tazawa had interested the Rangers, Mariners, and Braves as well but ultimately chose the Red Sox. His decision was highly influenced by Dice-K being on Boston's roster.

He held a poor 1.53 WHIP over 30 innings of relief in 2008 with Cleveland and Atlanta, but should be fine for the back of the Brewers' pen.

It is unknown how serious talks between Jim Bowden (Washington GM) and Dayton Moore (Kansas City GM) were regarding Greinke. He wouldn't come cheap as he held a favorable 1.28 WHIP over 32 starts in 2008.

Worrell has always had strong minor league numbers, but he was buried in a deep group of right-handed relief prospects in St. Louis.

The 22-year-old Japanese hurler will begin next season in the minors. The Red Sox beat out the Rangers, Mariners and Braves to acquire his services.

Farnsworth held a 1.52 WHIP over 60.1 innings of relief in 2008, but the righty would provide adequate depth to the Royals' bullpen.

O'Neal was rested on Wednesday, as the Suns are trying to keep him fresh for the entire season.

Nash missed the Suns' game on Wednesday with flu-like symptoms, but appears to be feeling better now.

We'll update you on Friday about whether or not Miller is expected to play.

Rogers had been very involved in his community in Durham since retiring from the NBA in 2005. This is very sad news and shows how dangerous ATVs can be.

Brand will be missed as the Clippers' leading scorer and rebounder, as he is averaging 16.7 points and 10 boards per game. He will likely be replaced by Theo Ratliff or rookie Marreese Speights at power forward, and Brand is considered day-to-day.

Fantasy owners should plan on sitting Howard unless we hear more definitive, positive news about his return.

Nash missed a matchup with Chris Paul, but the thought is that nothing will stop him from facing his old teammates.

Jamison isn't breaking any news here, but it's nice to see an 11-year vet and two-time All-Star confirming Roy's obvious potential. Roy is probably better in real life than in fantasy hoops, but he is a top-40 player in our world, too.

It is uncertain at this time of how serious the injury is, but we'll keep you posted on the star's status.

Boucher only has three points in 21 games this year so he doesn't have any fantasy value.

Bettman has said that he hasn't made a decision about Avery's future yet, so we'll keep you updated. Avery is owned in most fantasy leagues and is a great source for penalty minutes with the occasional scoring as well. He has 10 points in 23 games.

Seidenberg has 13 points in 24 games this year and has been a decent fantasy player before suffering the lower-body injury. He's owned in about a quarter of leagues currently.

Williams could have some fantasy value now that he's healthy. He had 30 points in 37 games last season.

The 24-year-old fared well with St. Louis as he chipped in three goals and one assist over eight games, but should benefit from more ice time at Peoria.

Shannon has only scored seven goals over 82 NHL games, but was seeing ice time on the top-line with Jason Spezza and Dany Heatley. He could be worth a look as a flier in deeper leagues if he gets recalled by the Senators.

He will be on the shelf for 2-4 weeks while recovering. Torres won't be missed by fantasy owners as he only contributed one goal and three assists over 14 games.

"I've been fortunate enough to win this award now for the sixth time, and I can tell you it never gets old." Earnhardt Jr. said. "I've said it many times before that this award is special because it's the voice of the fans."

"Obviously, we're very protective of our brand," said Al Johnson, who oversees all advertising for the company. "We certainly don't want garage scuffles going on or things to happen..." Johnson was speaking at a trade show in New York.

Speed showed glimpses of strength last year and finally put together a good run at Homestead, where he finished 16th. He still has a lot to learn, but there could be the making of a strong stock car racer in the brash Young Gun.

The award is given quarterly, and other winners in 2008 were Kyle Busch, Kasey Kahne and Carl Edwards.

The impact for fantasy owners will not be very great. McCumbee made nine attempts in 2008, never cracked the top 15 and failed to make the show in his last attempt at Homestead-Miami Speedway. The bigger impact will be that Kyle Petty is left completely without a ride.

MWR is becoming a force and fantasy owners should expect Reutimann to be one of the best dark horses next year.

McMurray and Wingo worked together at Chip Ganassi Racing (CGR) for a number of seasons and should immediately rekindle their chemistry. The No. 26 ended the season with a ton of momentum, and this will keep it alive in 2009.

Kansas is owned by International Speedway Corporation (the France family also owns NASCAR), while Kentucky was recently purchased by Speedway Motorsports Inc. (a rival company owned by Bruton Smith.

Wearing a brown shirt with a "Blue Collar Golf" logo, Daley appeared relaxed among the large gallery that followed his group, which also included Michael Sim. Sim finished at 2 under and Ogilvy was 5 under, one shot off Wilkinson's early lead. The 42-year-old Daly parred the 10th but double-bogeyed the par-3 12th when his tee shot went in the water. He birdied the par-5 12th and 15th while again having problems on a par 3, bogeying the 14th. In 2002, Daly's tee shot went into the water along the left side of the fairway. A rules official was called when playing partner Craig Parry questioned the accuracy of Daly's assessment of where the penalty drop should be placed.

The 108-hole tournament, one of the most grueling in golf, will end on Monday with the top 25 players and ties earning cards. The biggest name atop the leaderboard was former PGA champion Mark Brooks, who is in Q-school for the first time in 21 years. Winless since his capturing the '96 PGA Championship at Valhalla, Brooks opened with a 66 on the Stadium Course. The group at 67 included Jay Williamson, who reached the third round of the FedEx Cup playoffs but failed to keep his card. Joe Durant, whose four PGA Tour victories include the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic in the desert seven years ago, was among those at 68. Among former PGA Tour winners who struggled was Jason Gore, who had two bogeys on his opening three holes and took a 7 on the par-3 eighth hole on his way to a 75. Former U.S. Amateur champion Ricky Barnes already earned his card by finishing 25th on the Nationwide Tour money list, but he entered the final stage with hopes of improving his status for the 2009 season. He opened with a 72 and was tied for 104th in the 163-man field.

Fuzzy Zoeller and Peter Jacobsen are the defending champions, with the other team Jack Nicklaus and Tom Watson, who won last year. The made-for-TV competition from Jan. 17-18 will be in its fourth year as an alternate-shot team event after 18 years as a four-man individual tournament.

The 28-year-old Australian golfer has six titles on the U.S. PGA Tour and six on the European Tour. The Australian PGA, with John Daly, defending champion Peter Lonard and Robert Allenby in the field, begins Thursday.

A hospital official declined to say if the latest surgery meant the 51-year-old Ballesteros had taken a turn for the worse in his recovery. He had been released from intensive care Nov. 18 but remained hospitalized. The Spaniard won three British Opens and two Masters and is often praised for having transformed European golf. He helped Europe beat the United States in the 1985 Ryder Cup to begin two decades of dominance, and captained the European team to victory in 1997 in Valderrama, Spain.

Two-time major winner Daly is returning to the scene of one of the most publicized blowouts in his stormy career. At the Australian PGA in 2002, he threw his putter and ball into the pond at the 18th green after his second round and was later disqualified for not signing his scorecard. If he does well, it will be due to an improvement with the putter. When he shot a final-round 62 at Hong Kong two weeks ago, he had "27 or 28 putts." Last week at Huntingdale in Melbourne, he shot a 1-over 73 Friday and had 37 putts before not qualifying for the weekend. Daly says he'll play in next week's Australian Open in Sydney, making it four tournaments in four weeks.

Stephen Ames, looking for a third consecutive title in the event, won $250,000 on the first hole of the day with a birdie to finish second. Mickelson was third with $195,000, while Mediate earned his $140,000 with a birdie on the 16th hole. Choi started the day with the lead but fell behind Ames on the first hole. Mickelson won $170,000 on the par-4 13th with a tap-in birdie. Choi added $70,000 with a four-foot eagle putt on the 14th hole. On the 18th, all four players hit the green, but Mediate and Mickelson missed putts from about 11 feet, while Choi made his uphill birdie putt. Putting down the same hill, Ames' putt slipped to the right, giving Choi the title.

Jimenez and Larrazabal finished with a 70 in their bid to give Spain its fifth title and first since 1984. Australia's Richard Green and Brendan Jones (76) and Japan's Ryuji Imada and Toru Taniguchi (68) tied for third at 18 under. Americans Ben Curtis and Brandt Snedeker (73) finished ninth, 14 strokes back at 13 under. The victory caps a great season for Karlsson, a two-time winner on the European tour. Stenson is winless this season in individual play. The Swedes split $1.7 million in prize money, a big chunk of the $5.5 million purse. Despite the global economic downturn, the purse offered by sponsor Omega was 10 percent above last year. This year's event was the second of a 12-year contract at Mission Hills, the sprawling golf estate that boasts the world's largest layout with 216 holes.
