Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Baker's injury could force Doug Jolley, who has been a disappointment to this point, to pick up the pace. Poor blocking had dropped Jolley to No. 3 on the depth chart behind Baker and rookie Joel Dreesen in recent weeks. ... Edwards wouldn't comment further on Chrebet, but most observers believe this injury is career threatening. Jerricho Cotchery will move up in the receiving rotation going forward.
