Brian Westbrook probable to play in week 10

Philadelphia Eagles running back Brian Westbrook has been keeping his fantasy owners worried all week with his lingering post-concussion symptoms and news that his right ankle is still bothering him and was surgically repaired recently. But Westbrook practiced Thursday and Friday, and is listed as probable for Sunday's game at San Diego. When asked on Friday about Westbrook's status for week 10, head coach Andy Reid simply said: "Playing." Westbrook only said that he is doing good. He will still share carries with LeSean McCoy and Leonard Weaver. After having missed the Eagles' last two games with a concussion suffered against Washington in week seven, Westbrook was expected to return last Sunday night against Dallas but he experienced headaches and ankle soreness on the Friday before the game, which led to his deactivation.

Fantasy Analysis:
You shouldn't expect Westbrook to get a big workload as he is probably not 100 percent recovered from either of his ailments, but I think he will post some decent totals against the Chargers. How about 80-90 total yards? I am pessimistic on a touchdown, though. McCoy will get about 10-12 touches. Of course, he'll probably have more next week when Westbrook further injures himself this week.

Players Involved:
RB Westbrook, Brian, PHI
