LOS ANGELES -- Jim Mora had to release an injury report when he was a head coach in the NFL. Frank Clark Youth Jersey . He is under no such obligation at UCLA, and that wont change this week with the status of right tackle Kolton Miller uncertain.Miller injured his left leg in the first half of the Bruins 45-24 victory over Arizona last weekend, leaving the Rose Bowl on crutches. The redshirt sophomore was spotted on campus this week in a cast and using a mobility scooter, which could force redshirt freshman Andre James into the starting lineup at Arizona State on Saturday night.I really dont like talking about injuries unless they are very obvious, Mora said. I appreciate that everyone wants to know, but in terms of competitive advantage, it doesnt do us any good if we let our opponent know who is playing and whos not playing, so I hope people can respect that.Mora and quarterback Josh Rosen were pleased with James performance in his first significant action. James had been playing tight end in UCLAs jumbo package, and he was able to build on that experience when Miller went down.To go out on a Saturday in a competitive game -- because it was tight when he went in there -- and to play 33 snaps, it really helped him, Mora said. He is physical. Obviously he lacks a little experience, but just the fact he got those plays and some earlier in the season in the big package has really benefited him.After a sluggish start, UCLA erupted for 31 points in the second half against the Wildcats, but Rosen said there was no secret recipe for the offenses improvement. Instead, it was a byproduct of simple things such as the offensive line blocking better and wide receivers not dropping passes.We just played harder, Rosen said. We just did better.If James does start against the Sun Devils aggressive defense, Rosen said he wont have to make any changes. There might be some adjustments with the play-calling to ease the pressure on James, Rosen noted, but that has no impact on how he sees the game.There is one way to read a play against a single coverage, Rosen said. You cant stray from that, regardless of who is in front of you.Arizona State has reduced the frequency with which it blitzes this season in an effort to protect an inexperienced secondary, but that could change if Miller is unable to play. That is the very reason why Mora refuses to disclose or discuss injuries, and would not support the introduction of an injury report mandated by the conference or NCAA.Other schools in the Pac-12 are more open when it comes to injuries. Practices at crosstown rival Southern California are open to the media, and coach Clay Helton offers a brief summary of players status during his sessions with reporters. Arizona releases an injury report every week using designations similar to that of the NFL.The NFL does it for bettors, Mora said. Thats the only reason they release an injury report is for bettors, and I dont think I want to encourage people to bet on college football. If they do, they do, but our job is to try to win, not to provide information to the fans and the teams that may hurt us in our ability to win.Game notes Mora would not comment on the public reprimand he received from the Pac-12 on Tuesday for criticizing officiating in a post-game radio interview after the win over Arizona. Man, my focus is on Arizona State and thats it, Mora said.---AP college football website: www.collegefootball.ap.org Frank Clark Womens Jersey . 4 Villanova with a 96-68 drubbing on Monday. Wragge hit 9-of-14 from behind the arc, matching Kyle Korvers school record for 3-pointers in a game set in 2003, as Creighton (16-3, 6-1 Big East broke a conference record with 21 treys in the rout. Tony Gonzalez Chiefs Jersey . Jane Virtanen scored two, and Alex Roach and Elliott Peterson rounded out the offence for the Hitmen (40-15-6). Brady Brassart chipped in with three assists. Colton McCarthy scored twice, Brayden Point had a goal and two assists, and Jack Rodewald also scored for the Warriors (15-35-9), who were 2 for 5 on the power play. http:///...utker-Chiefs-Jersey/ .Y. - General manager Billy King says the Brooklyn Nets are looking to add a big man and confirmed the team worked out centre Jason Collins, who would become the first openly gay active NBA player if signed. Were getting down to it. The final week of the ESPN Fantasy regular season is upon us. As my friend Kenny Chesney once sang, Man, I dont know, where the time goes, but it sure goes fast. Just like that. Okay, so Chesney and I arent friends, but the dude makes incredible music and is a hardcore football fan (he loves his Tennessee Volunteers), and the lyric is certainly apropos. Some may have waived the white flag on their season by now (my two cents: play to win every week, even if the playoffs are no longer possible), while others are in need of that finishing touch to propel them to the playoffs.No matter your roster circumstances, were here to help. Below is a look at the Week 13 waiver-wire pickups.Note: All players on this list are owned in less than 50 percent of leagues on ESPN.com.Colin Kaepernick, QB, San Francisco 49ers (22.6 percent). What an outstanding recent stretch for Kaepernick, who posted 32 points in Week 12 and has been red-hot since taking over as the 49ers starter. The list of players who have more fantasy points than Kaepernick over the past four weeks is short: Aaron Rodgers. Thats it. With matchups against Chicago and the New York Jets on the horizon, Kaepernick is absolutely worth an add. Hell be a borderline top-10 play this week.Tyreek Hill, WR, Kansas City Chiefs (26.5 percent). Weve written about Hill before, and the book on him is this: He has rare speed that will translate into big plays far more regularly than the average receiver. With Jeremy Maclin still out, the Chiefs passing offense relied heavily again on Hill in Week 12, as he grabbed nine receptions and three total touchdowns (receiving, rushing, return). Hes a low floor, high ceiling receiver that is worthy of an add in any-size leagues.Kenneth Dixon, RB, Baltimore Ravens (25.1 percent). I know, I know. Dixon has been on the fantasy radar all season (or at least it feels that way) and has yet to break through in a meaningful way. But he had the same number of carries as Terrance West in Week 12 (13 apiece), and if the trends continue upward, Dixons value would approach that of a high-end flex play in 10-team leagues. Hes worth an add for anyone looking to pad his or her running back depth.Marquess Wilson, WR, Chicago Bears (0.1 percent). There is unquestionably an element of small sample size here, but someone has to step up as the Bears primary pass-catcher until Alshon Jeffery returns in Week 15. And Wilson was that player in Week 12, hauling in eight catches for 125 yards and a touchdown. The Bears next face the 49ers, a generous secondary that could lead to more worthwhile production. Hes an add in a deeper league for those thin at the position.Dion Lewis, RB, New England Patriots (47.8 percent). Lewis role grew a bit during his second game of the season, as he handled 10 touches out of the Patriots backfield. Hes a unique ball carrier with the football in his hands. While he is not a must-start at this time, where he carries tons of value is this: He could soon start to see closer to 12-15 looks per game, easily enough to make him an asset, especially in PPR leagues.Malcolm Mitchell, WR, New England Patriots (2.6 percent). Mitchell has previously caught our eye and made this column, as hes a talented fourth-round pick whose polish has impressed in New England. He caught two touchdowns in Week 12 and has earned a role in the Patriotss offense. Derrick Thomas Youth Jersey. Hes an intriguing upside add who likely wont start for your team now, but if he continues to stay busy in New England, he will carry plenty of fantasy relevance going forward.Tyler Boyd, WR, Cincinnati Bengals (34.7 percent). The Bengals offense looked really average on Sunday, but Boyd had more catches than any other wideout (five for 62 yards). Its hard for me to advocate for multiple Cincinnati wide receivers, but Boyd represents the most talented on the bunch to fill in until A.J. Green returns.Anquan Boldin, WR, Detroit Lions (23.4 percent). The ever-reliable Boldin had a great Thanksgiving, as he snagged his sixth touchdown over his past 10 games. The reason he cracks this list is in part because of a favorable Week 13 matchup versus New Orleans. This game profiles as a potential shootout, making Boldin an add in points per reception leagues with flex value.Dontrelle Inman, WR, San Diego Chargers (6.5 percent). Inman has made this column on a number of occasions this season and made his owners very happy in Week 12. He had six catches for 119 yards and a touchdown. No, the production wont be like that each week, but he has a role in a pass-friendly offense (he leads Chargers wide receivers in snaps played) and has at least eight points in PPR scoring in five straight games. A usable flex in a deeper PPR format.Taylor Gabriel, WR, Atlanta Falcons (3.4 percent). The efficiency has been off the charts for Gabriel of late, as he has turned just 16 total touches into an incredible 59 fantasy points over the past four weeks. That kind of touchdown production isnt going to sustain, but heres the play on Gabriel: If you play in a deeper league and need a swing-for-the-fences option, Gabriel is clearly a big play waiting to happen.Matt Asiata, RB, Minnesota Vikings (43.1 percent). The Vikings ground game is below average, but Asiata has scored in three straight games. He represents the best chance for a Vikings back to score a touchdown in a given week, so he fills in as a low-ceiling flex play in standard leagues for a running back-needy owner.Rex Burkhead, RB, Cincinnati Bengals (4.7 percent). Burkhead actually played more snaps than Jeremy Hill in Week 12. Hes an add for a running back-hungry owner in a deep, deep PPR league.Corey Coleman, WR, Cleveland Browns (47.4 percent). The Browns head into a bye this week, but Coleman is a player who is an add for those who are looking for upside to keep on the bench. He was the first receiver drafted this year for a reason and a worthwhile add in 12-team leagues or larger.Adam Thielen, WR, Minnesota Vikings (18.4 percent). With Stefon Diggs out on Thanksgiving, Thielen saw his role expand and managed eight catches for 53 yards. Thats not a gaudy standard scoring output, but in deeper PPR leagues, Thielen is a flex play if Diggs sits again on Thursday.Vernon Davis, TE, Washington (21.9 percent). With Jordan Reeds status for Week 13 currently unknown (hes dealing with a shoulder injury), Davis is a possible tight end streamer should Reed sit. He has been effective for Washington this season as a complement to Reed and has also fared well when Reed has missed time due to injury. He would be a borderline top-10 play if Reed misses Week 13.
