To get a second chance, it was great. It's good to win. We're a good team and we're starting to put things together.''

This Thursday is Thanksgiving, a great holiday and a terrific day for watching football. Well, usually a terrific day for watching football. This year's matchups aren't as good as some we've had in the past, but they still should offer plenty of intrigue to fantasy owners, who should be sure to set their lineups early this week. Here are the top things to watch for during Thursday's slate:
Here are the key injury updates heading into the late games of Week 11:

It's been a good season to be a Ricky Williams owner. Even playing second fiddle to Ronnie Brown in Miami, Williams has posted very nice numbers, gaining 83.4 yards from scrimmage per game, rushing for a career-high 5.3 yards per carry and scoring seven TDs. But while those stats may seem very good, they're about to get a whole lot better.
According to multiple reports, it appears that RB Larry Johnson, who was released last week by the Chiefs, will soon become a member of the Bengals. With that, fantasy owners all over have one question: Should I pick him up?

If you're someone who doesn't like to set your fantasy lineup until late in the week — once you've gathered all the pertinent information — prepare to change your strategy. With Thursday Night Football returning this week with a matchup of the Bears and 49ers, you no longer have the luxury of waiting until the weekend to finalize your starters.
Coming into the season, probably the hottest name among QB sleepers was the Falcons' Matt Ryan. After flashing signs of stardom as a rookie, it looked like added experience and Atlanta's addition of TE Tony Gonzalez would be exactly what he needed to make a huge leap in Year Two. But at least from a fantasy standpoint, he's surprisingly remained just an average quarterback.
Here are the key injury updates heading into the late games of Week Nine:

For years, Broncos head coach Mike Shanahan was hated by fantasy owners for the way he constantly rotated running backs, giving them each little value because of the unpredictability of their playing time. Now, one of his proteges, Texans head coach Gary Kubiak, is drawing equal ire for his actions on Sunday.

By now, everyone knows the story of Chiefs RB Larry Johnson's derogatory Twitter remarks and comments to reporters. These antics, which have become typical of Johnson over the years, have gotten the veteran back banned from participating in team activities and, according to various reports, could cause Kansas City to part ways with him in the near future.
When WR Michael Crabtree was drafted 10th overall by the 49ers this year, I thought he had a great chance to make the biggest fantasy impact of any rookie in 2009. After all, he absolutely shredded the competition at Texas Tech and was going to get an opportunity to step right into the starting lineup in San Fran.
But as soon as Crabtree's contract holdout extended deep into training camp this past August, I began doubting how big of a factor he'd be this year. And once the holdout carried over into the regular season, I, like many, figured this would be a lost season for the first-rounder.

During the past couple seasons, figuring out which Cowboys players to start in fantasy leagues was simple.
Well, that's been far from the case in 2009. Now, trying to determine which Cowboys you should start and which you should bench in a given week can be extremely difficult.
There are plenty of things to take into consideration when determining your fantasy starters in a given week: How have they been performing lately? What is their current playing-time situation? What is their matchup like against that week's opponent? Sometimes, it's enough to drive you nuts.
But as Sunday showed, snow should not be something that deters you from starting someone.
