Keep in mind that the Colts take on the Jaguars on Thursday Night Football.Point Projection:16 points 14. Michael Turner (Atlanta Falcons) New York Jets CHECK INJURY STATUSMichael Turnermissed his second-straight game with an ankle injury when the Falcons lost to the New Orleans Saintsin Week 14. It was the third time in four games in which he was sidelined with the ankle injury and he remains questionable for Week 15 when Atlanta faces the New York Jets.When healthy, he is a must-start option, and in 10 games played this season he has 864 yards rushing with 10 touchdowns. If Turner is active for this week’s battle with the Jets he should be used as a No. 2 fantasy running back, but he will be a bit of an injury risk.

Minnesota CHECK INJURY STATUSAfter missing one game with an ankle injury DeAngelo Williamsreturned to action in the Panthers Week 14 loss to the New England Patriots. He had 13 carries for 82 yards and added two receptions for 15 yards. Even with the tough matchup, Williams should be used this week, unless you have another back of his caliber with a better matchup.Point Projection:14 pointsFOR THE REST OF THE WEEK 15 RUNNING BACK RANKINGS , CLICK HERE !THIS ARTICLE WRITTEN BY BRUNO BOY LARRY JOSEPH .. Athletes fly a lot. A very lot. So much so that they probably "befriend" a few flight attendents throughout the season (if you know what I mean, and I'm sure you do).Not all sports are created equal in this regard. If Goodell succeeds, his players would have to fly once more a year (which isn't a huge deal in terms of time, but the possibility of extra injuries present real problems). In a few years, they might even have to fly to London, which is a bigger deal because jet lag will become an even larger factor (a phenomenon I’ll mention a bit later).Baseball players travel extensively, sure; they play 162 games, after all. But those games are divided into series, which keeps players in a given city for at least a few days while the series progresses.But NBA players fall into the “mix” category of the two previous configurations of professional team travel.

They travel every day and sometimes play on successive nights. But what do these constant cross-country treks do to players Their teams Their play Their psychologyFrom HomeTeams feel comfortable here. They know the quickest route to the arena; they know their pre-game routine probably won't get disrupted. They know (or hope, at least) die-hard opposing fans won't prank call their hotel rooms at 2am.The home fans will cheer them (probably) At least in their introduction (...probably). Anyway, there’s a good chance they’ll receive a significant deal of support at their home environment.Getting on the PlaneHere begins the complications of a hectic travel schedule.

Consider the numerous possibilities for delays: bus to the airport arrives late, plane arrives late, player arrives late (Ron Artist, whose name should be “Attest” because that’s what people always say when talking about him: “Yeah, I have witnesses who can attest to the fact that Artest got on the bus wearing nothing but his boxers” (not a real quote, or at least not one attributable to a credible source... yet, but the story holds some truth. He went on Jimmy Kimmel in his boxers). Perhaps the plane needs unscheduled maintenance, resulting in even more delays.Even if the first thing goes wrong a bus arriving late player are already planning how to sue the bus company after submitting a lackluster 4 PTS 6 TO 1 RBD performance.In the PlaneNow players have time to think, be introspective, and analyze their games or watch videos or read People Magazine. With so many enormous egos confined within a small space (plus their germs), inevitably personality “issues” will arise.Getting off the PlaneNow players have landed in a new city. Let’s say the New York Knicks are flying cross-country for a meeting with the Clippers (though with how horrible these two teams are, I’m not sure flying in Bill Gates’ private jet would make them play any better). Well, the bus meant to shuttle New York from their arena to the plane is late, meaning they take off late, meaning they arrive late In this hypothetical case: 3 a.m PST. To the Knicks, it actually feels like 6 a.m.
