FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Plaxico Burress has to wait a little longer before he makes his Jets practice debut. The newly signed wide receiver will be sidelined for a day or two after he tweaked his left ankle running routes with Santonio Holmes on Wednesday without anyone throwing to him or defending him. "Its nothing serious," Burress said Thursday. "I know its going to be one of those things where, to everybody else on the outside its going to be this huge thing, but its just a little swelling." Burress was expected to take the field for the first time Thursday once the collective bargaining agreement was ratified, which would allow newly signed players to practice. Burress, who served 20 months in prison on a gun charge, was signed Sunday and has been watching training camp practices from the sideline since Monday. "I was just running routes, just trying to stay sharp and kind of rolled it a little bit," he said. "I can go, but they are pulling me back a little bit and they are telling me to just take it easy, Let the swelling go down and well get you out there." The ankle is not the same one that he had chronic tendon problems with while playing for the Giants. "When I did it, I kept running routes," Burress said of the latest injury. "Maybe when I tweaked it, I should have iced it at that point. But maybe me just keeping working and keeping going made it a little bit worse. I woke up this morning and had a little swelling and they just told me to shut it down for a day or two." Burress didnt appear to be limping or hindered by the injury at all, saying he could practice if he was allowed to and "without a doubt" would play if the Jets had a regular-season game. Ryan added that the team wants to be cautious and make sure Burress is ready to go for the teams season opener against Dallas on Sept. 11. "We all want to see him," Ryan said. "But we have to do whats best for him." Burress, who turns 34 on Aug. 12, caught the winning touchdown pass in the Giants upset of the unbeaten New England Patriots in the 2008 Super Bowl, but his career derailed after he accidentally shot himself in the thigh at a Manhattan nightclub that November. He pleaded guilty in August 2009 to attempted criminal possession of a weapon, accepting a two-year prison term. He was released about three months early for good behaviour, but will be on parole for two years. New York signed Burress to a one-year deal worth $3.017 million fully guaranteed, without even seeing him practice. "Its a little frustrating, but I say to myself everything that Ive been through, Ive learned so much patience and just let everything take its course," he said of the setback. "Nobody wants to get out there more than me." Burress said he was confident he would be able to become a top receiver again despite the long layoff. He worked out with NFL quarterbacks such as Matthew Stafford and Byron Leftwich in South Florida after he was released from prison. "I think everybody is going to be in for a surprise when I get back out there," Burress said. "I just cant wait to see what everybody is going to be saying in a couple of days. I think everybody is going to be changing their tune up." Burress has said he expects to be a little rusty when he first returns, but isnt concerned about missing any extra time that could help him develop a rapport with quarterback Mark Sanchez. "Im a quarterback-friendly receiver," he said. "Im a guy with a lot of range. You dont have to be accurate to get the ball to me. Just put it in a place where I can at least make a play on it and catch the ball. I think when we get out there, we will develop a relationship and it will be quick."

LOUIS -- Once again, the St.Each week, TSN.ca Fantasy Editor Scott Cullen and NFL Editors Mitch Ward and Ben Fisher discuss three hot fantasy football topics. 1) Who is the better fantasy quarterback, Michael Vick or Nick Foles? Cullen: Right now, it sure seems like its Nick Foles. Vick provides too much of a roller coaster ride, from a 400-yard passing game in Week Two, to completing fewer than 50% of his passes over the next three weeks. Foles doesnt present the same kind of running threat, and its why he doesnt have a ceiling as high as Vick, but Foles floor ought to be better and when it comes to fantasy, the last thing a team can afford is to get a dud week from the quarterback. Ward: Tough call. It all depends on who is going to play. Foles is getting the start this week but who knows once Michael Vick is 100 percent recovered from his hamstring injury. There are arguments to be made for both as a starter, but personally if Vick is healthy I think he is the starter. His running ability fits in with Chip Kellys style and allows the Eagles to use their whole offensive playbook. A healthy Vicks versatility give him the edge in my eyes because there is always the threat of a monster fantasy day. If he isnt healthy enough to run though, the edge goes to Foles. Fisher: This is a tough one to answer because Vick and Foles each have red flag. Vicks is that hes injury prone while Foles is inexperience, you dont know if Week 6 was an aberration or a sign of things to come. When Vick is healthy, his average fantasy stats put him in the Top 3 among quarterbacks. Despite his stellar debut, that is something I think Foles is unlikely to maintain. I would pick Vick and roll the dice with a waiver wire pickup on weeks hes injured. The real answer of course comes in who the Eagles go with as starter in real football. 2) With a number of rookie receivers breaking out lately, which one will finish the year with the most fantasy points? Cullen: Four rookie receivers -- DeAndre Hopkins, Keenan Allen, Kenbrell Thompkins and Terrance Williams -- have more than 300 yards receiving, so those are the leading contenders (Robert Woods at 274 yards could be in the mix, too) and, from that group, I like Allen the best. He has a prolific quarterback, Philip Rivers, whose game appears to have been resurrected this season and Allen is the best wide receiver option on his team, thanks to Malcom Floyd and Danario Alexander suffering season-ending injuries. Hopkins might be the most gifted of the group, but hes still behind Andre Johnson in the Texans pecking order and the quarterback play in Houston has been shaky to say the least. Thompkins is turning into a big-play threat for Tom Brady, but is competing with Danny Amendola, Julian Edelman and fellow rookie Aaron Dobson for targets. Williams has been a big-play threat for the Cowboys, particularly when Miles Austin was out of the lineup, but it remains to be seen how much he will get the ball now that Austin is healthy. For a team tthat already has Dez Bryant and Jason Witten commanding a lot of attention in the passing game, Williams may need another Austin injury if hes going to finish among the rookie leaders.dddddddddddd Ward: Keenan Allen in San Diego. Philip Rivers is playing very well and has developed some really good chemistry with the 76th overall pick out of Cal. With Malcolm Floyd on IR, the door is open for Allen to seize the Chargers No. 1 receiver job and hes doing just that. Allen has a real chance to make plays and put up good numbers week in and week out. Hes your best rookie receiver for fantasy purposes going forward this season ahead of first rounders like Tavon Austin and DeAndre Hopkins. Fisher: Keenan Allen wouldnt have been the answer a couple of weeks ago, but he might be now. The guy has had a monstrous past two weeks, averaging 7.5 catches, more than 100 yards, and a touchdown. The third-rounder started the year slow, but now that he appears a fixture in the surprising solid San Diego offence, hes a must-own. He might not be able to keep up the 100-yards receiving pace, but should continue to see double-digit targets the rest of the way. Kenbrell Thompkins is still leads all rookie wideouts in points, but Allen is catching up fast. 3) Is Joseph Fauria a one-week wonder, or worth a flyer moving forward? Cullen: Until Fauria starts getting more targets, he has to be considered a one-week wonder. There are reasons that he scored three touchdowns against Cleveland, not least of which is his size mismatch with Browns defensive backs around the goalline, but Fauria has a total of seven catches in six games, five of which have gone for touchdowns. Until the Lions make him part of the offence somewhere other than the goalline or red zone, Fauria isnt worth owning in fantasy leagues. Now, if that three touchdown game sparks some ideas for the Lions brass and suddenly Fauria is a more significant part of the offence, sure, then hes worth the upside play. Ward: Hes probably worth a flyer in deep leagues because he has proven himself to be a legitimate red zone target for Matthew Stafford. He is the definition of a boom or bust play though with his numbers being so heavily dependent on touchdowns. He either scores a touchdown or puts up a bagel. If youre looking for any kind of consistency, Fauria is not your guy. Fisher: Fauria has played in three games and caught at least one touchdown pass in all of them on his just nine targets and seven catches. But even after his incredible three target, three TD performance last week the undrafted rookie still isnt a viable option in fantasy. Hes strictly a red zone specialist so if he doesnt score youll get next to no points out of him. And the healthier Calvin Johnson gets, the less opportunity Fauria will have in the end zone, not to mention defences keying on him after his big day. With Fauria doing so much damage with so little opportunity, Id love to see the Lions bust him out a little more often moving forward.
