News: The Baltimore Ravens moved the following players to injured reserve Monday in order to help meet the latest roster restrictions: linebacker Stevie Baggs (undisclosed); linebacker Darryl Blackstock (groin); defensive back Emanuel Cook (leg); and defensive lineman Ryan McBean (ankle).
Analysis: None of these players were expected to make a Fantasy impact this season and should be left off all rosters at this point.
News: Ravens safety Emanuel Cook was forced out of Thursday's preseason game against the Jaguars after breaking his right leg. Cook suffered the injury during a kickoff coverage in the third quarter. He was carted off the field and is likely done for the entire season, according to head coach Jim Harbaugh.
Analysis: It is never a positive sign when a player is carted off the field, and Thursday's game was another was another example as Cook is likely to miss the remainder of the season. We'll continue to monitor his status as he'll start recovering for a possible return in 2013. Even when healthy, Cook should remain untouched in all Fantasy formats.
News: Baltimore claimed DB Emanuel Cook off waivers Tuesday and released LB Josh Bynes. Cook, previously with the Jets, has played in eight games this season and tallied three tackles. Bynes was signed to the 53-man roster last week after spending time on Baltimore's practice squad.
Analysis: Cook was released by New York on Monday as the team attempted to shake up its struggling secondary. The 23-year-old managed just three tackles after appearing in eight games this season. He should remain untouched in all Fantasy formats.
News: The Jets signed DB Emanuel Cook to their active roster on Wednesday.
Analysis: The signing of Cook is necessary after New York lost Jim Leonhard and James Ihedigbo to injuries in the last week. Cook should see some playing time, but since it's doubtful he will start, he still has marginal Fantasy appeal.

News: The Bucs announced Friday that they have released S Emanuel Cook and LS Chris Mauriello. Cook re-signed with the Bucs in January after spending a portion of the 2009 season on the Bucs practice squad. Mauriello joined the team as an undrafted free agent in May.
Analysis: Neither of these players were or are expected to produce many stats in the first place. Keep them off of Fantasy rosters.
News: The Bucs signed the following players to Reserve/Futures contracts: CB Brandon Anderson, DB Emanuel Cook, DE Maurice Evans, LB Lee Robinson and CB Stoney Woodson.
Analysis: None of these players are expected to produce enough stats to warrant Fantasy use. Keep them off of rosters for now.
