The Fantasy Sports Veteran accepts responsibility for each of his predictions, good and bad. Users seeking to voice their anger or inform me of my incompetence need only leave a comment or e-mail me at SeanDuffySD@gmail.com!

Take: Cooley, who has been targeted the fifth most this season among all Redskins by Rex Grossman, behind the recently-benched running back Tim Hightower and Cooley's counterpart at tight end, Fred Davis. Davis had been targeted nearly twice as much as Cooley heading into their week six matchup against the Eagles. With Cooley potentially out for the rest of the season, Davis is likely to see an increase in workload, though he is still handcuffed by the quarterback situation. Grossman threw four interceptions before being replaced by John Beck.

Take: Who says it isn't dangerous being a head coach? In an ugly collision, one of Peyton's own players ran into him in the first quarter. That has not prevented Peyton from calling plays though.
Cleveland Browns' running back Peyton Hillis has returned to the game after reportedly tweaking his hamstring in the first half.
Take: Hillis has been limited in carries nearly all season, whether because of injury, or because of intense contract negotiations that have turned public the last few weeks. After tweaking his hamstring in the first half, Hillis had only one carry to start out the second half before finally returning late in the fourth quarter. How this will affect his week seven status is uncertain at this time. With Pat Shurmur's propensity to throw the ball all day, Hillis, and his backup Montario Hardesty, have seen limited action the last couple weeks.
