There was never really much information disseminated about Jacoby Ford 's hamstring injury other than practice reports, which have showed him as being a non-participant. But the Oakland Raiders speedy wideout is hoping to come back this Sunday after a two-game absence.
"I definitely have hopes for this week," Ford said on Monday. "This is pretty much the goal that we've been shooting for, trying to be able to go this week. Today was a day for me to go out there and run around and see how I felt. I felt the best that I've felt since my injury, so it's looking positive so far."
However, Ford also said he's been told to not run at full speed just yet.
Ford injured his hamstring during a week-one game against the Denver Broncos and hasn't practiced since. The Raiders play the New England Patriots in week four.

Fantasy Analysis:

Denarius Moore has really picked up the slack while Ford has been on the sidelines. I expect those two to be the team's starting WRs as soon as Ford returns, which could be this week. However, I wouldn't put Ford in my lineup right away. Give him a week to show that he's really back since these things are easy to re-aggravate; I'm sure your lineup can make it without him for one more week. Hopefully he runs at top speed on either Wednesday or Thursday in practice.
