News: ESPN reports Sunday that the Giants have reached an agreement with free agent defensive tackle Cullen Jenkins on a three-year deal worth $8 million with $3 million guaranteed.
Analysis: Jenkins was released by the Eagles in late February and will now remain in the NFC East after reaching an agreement with the Giants. He has picked up four-plus sacks in each of the last four seasons. Jenkins racked up 4.0 sacks and totaled 27 tackles last season, so consider him a low-end IDP option in most formats on Draft Day.
News: The Eagles said goodbye to defensive tackles Cullen Jenkins and Mike Patterson on Monday. Jenkins was due to make $4.5 million while Patterson came back from a very serious brain injury.
Analysis: While both players were fantastic contributors to their teams in the past, neither one routinely posted great numbers. Their releases shouldn't impact Fantasy owners.
News: Eagles defensive lineman Cullen Jenkins, who had 5 1/2 sacks last season, recorded his first of 2012 Week 8 against the Falcons. He also had three tackles, all solo.
Analysis: Jenkins had seven sacks in 2010, so it's not like his 5 1/2 last year were a fluke. Still, as a defensive tackle, he's not going to be the most reliable contributor in the category. You can save him for deeper Fantasy IDP leagues.
News: The Eagles announced Tuesday that they have restructured the deal on DT Cullen Jenkins, ensuring that he'll be with the club in 2012. "We are very excited about having Cullen back on our football team," said general manager Howie Roseman. "Cullen made an immediate impact for us this year on and off the field. We look forward to a great future together with him in an Eagles uniform."
Analysis: Jenkins totaled 40 tackles and 5.5 sacks in his first season with the Eagles, a pretty nice improvement over the 18 tackles and seven sacks he had with the Packers in 2010. He's a decent bye-week replacement Fantasy DL worth a late-round pick.
News: Philadelphia DL Cullen Jenkins was active on Saturday in Dallas. He's been dealing with a groin injury.
Analysis: Jenkins has been dealing with this injury for a while now, but always seems to play on game day. Fantasy owners in IDP formats should continue to view Jenkins as a low-end DL option moving forward.
News: Eagles DL Cullen Jenkins is listed as probable for Saturday's game against the Cowboys. He's dealing with a groin injury.

Analysis: Jenkins got off to a fast start this season with four sacks in his first three games. However, he has just 1 1/2 sacks in his last nine games. Jenkins is a low-end Fantasy DL in IDP formats when healthy, so get him in the lineup.
News: Eagles DL Cullen Jenkins is dealing with a groin injury and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Jets.
Analysis: Jenkins got off to a fast start this season with four sacks in his first three games. However, he has just 1 1/2 sacks in his last nine games. Jenkins is a low-end Fantasy DL in IDP formats, healthy or not.

News: Eagles DL Cullen Jenkins was active for Thursday's 31-14 loss to the Seahawks in Week 13. He has been dealing with a thumb injury, and failed to post any statistics in the loss.
Analysis: Jenkins has 5.5 sacks on the season for Philly. He also has compiled 27 tackles for the Eagles. Despite being shut out in the contest, Fantasy owners in IDP leagues should continue to view Jenkins as a low-end DL option when healthy.
News: Eagles DL Cullen Jenkins was active for Thursday's contest versus the Seahawks. He has been dealing with a thumb injury.
Analysis: Jenkins now has 5.5 sacks on the season for Philly. He also has compiled 27 tackles for the Eagles. Fantasy owners in IDP leagues should continue to view Jenkins as a low-end DL option.
News: Philadelphia DL Cullen Jenkins registered three solo tackles and half a sack in Week 11 versus New York. The Eagles would win the game, 17-10.
Analysis: Jenkins now has 5.5 sacks on the season for Philly. He also has compiled 27 tackles for the Eagles. Fantasy owners in IDP leagues should continue to view Jenkins as a low-end DL option.
News: Eagles DL Cullen Jenkins, who was limited in practice during the week due to a triceps injury, started against the Redskins in the Week 6 game at Washington. Coach Andy Reid never though Jenkins would not play.
Analysis: Jenkins was dealing with just a minor injury and was able to give it a go for the Eagles against the NFC East rivals on Sunday. Jenkins has at least one sack in four of five games and has developed into a solid Fantasy DL in IDP formats.
News: Eagles DL Cullen Jenkins will be limited in practice Wednesday because of a triceps injury, but coach Andy Reid expects him to play Week 6 at Washington.
Analysis: The Eagles have been banged up along the defensive line all season and they surely don't want to lose another lineman. However, it seems Jenkins' injury is minor. He has at least one sack in four of five games and has developed into a solid Fantasy DL when active.
News: Eagles DL Cullen Jenkins, who was listed as probable for Week 5 at Buffalo with a triceps injury, is active for the contest. Jenkins has four sacks in four games so far this season.
Analysis: Jenkins wasn't a huge source of sacks in Green Bay, recording a career high of seven last year, but he's on pace to shatter that number in his first year with the Eagles. Since he's healthy enough to play, you should give him a look as a No. 2 Fantasy DL.
News: Philadelphia DL Cullen Jenkins is considered probable for Week 5 at Buffalo because of a triceps injury. Jenkins, who is fifth in the NFL with four sacks this season, was practiced fully throughout the week in advance of the matchup.
Analysis: Jenkins has held without a sack for the first time this year during the Eagles' loss to San Francisco in Week 4. But the 30-year-old has been able to reach opposing quarterbacks effectively this year and had two sacks in Week 2. Consider him a mid-range option for Sunday's game.
News: Eagles DL Cullen Jenkins managed a sack for a third consecutive game to begin the season in Week 3 against the Giants. He was credited with three tackles.
Analysis: Jenkins has four tackles through the first three weeks of the season. Jenkins has been injury prone, but when he's in there he's one of the most ferocious pass-rushing defensive lineman around. Keep him active in any IDP format through this run of dominance.
News: After recording his first sack of the season a week ago, Eagles DL Cullen Jenkins was even more productive in Week 2 against the Falcons. He finished with two sacks and four tackles in the 35-31 loss.
Analysis: Jenkins has three sacks in his first two games with the Eagles as he continues to be a dominant force along the defensive line. He could be in for a career campaign so continue to view him as a viable option in deeper IDP formats.
News: ESPN.com reports the Eagles have reached an agreement with DT Cullen Jenkins, formerly of the Packers. Jenkins reportedly signed a a five-year, $25 million deal.
Analysis: Jenkins has been injury prone, but when he's in there he's one of the most ferocious pass-rushing defensive lineman around. That said, unless his role majorly changes with the Eagles, he's not expected to be a major Fantasy IDP player.
News: The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reports that Packers DL Cullen Jenkins does not expect to return to Green Bay in 2011. Jenkins, a free agent, said his chances of remaining with the Packers were slim and none. "I'm 99 percent sure something won't happen," Jenkins said. "Not at this point. You get to a point where you want to go where you feel you're wanted. The way everything came down, it's just time for a new start." Asked if he thought the Packers could still convince him to stay, Jenkins said it wouldn't be easy. "You know obviously that you never close the door completely," he said. "But it will be real tough."
Analysis: Even though Jenkins has been the team's best pass-rushing defensive lineman - he has 29 sacks in seven years, including 14 in his last three - he is 30 years old and has missed 17 games over the last three seasons due to injury. He missed five games in 2010 with a recurring calf injury. Jenkins made $3.5 million in the final year of a four-year, $16 million deal last season. Keep an eye on where he signs, but he has minimal Fantasy value heading into 2011 based on his role. He is not worth drafting in the majority of IDP leagues.
News: Packers DE Cullen Jenkins (calf) worked out on the sideline Wednesday and then took a few snaps, the first time he has participated since injuring himself Dec. 5. Coach Mike McCarthy was non-committal on whether Jenkins would be able to play against the Bears on Sunday in Week 17.
Analysis: Jenkins has missed the last three games and there is no guarantee he will take the field Week 17. It's a shame too since he has a career-high seven sacks in 2010. Jenkins is still more of a low-end Fantasy DL when healthy, so if he sits again, it will not be a big loss.
News: The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported Monday that DE Cullen Jenkins (calf) may miss the rest of the season and Packers head coach Mike McCarthy did not dispute that. Jenkins is probably out at least two more weeks, he said. Jenkins said this was one of several calf pulls he's had and it was by far the worst.
Analysis: Jenkins does more to help the Packers stuff the run and rush the quarterback than help Fantasy owners. He shouldn't be on any Fantasy rosters.
News: Packers DE Cullen Jenkins (calf) was listed as inactive for Week 14 at Detroit.
Analysis: Jenkins could miss more than just this one game, so keep him stashed if you have him rostered, and check back on his status for Week 15.
News: Packers defensive end Cullen Jenkins already has been ruled out for Week 14 against the Seahawks with a calf injury. Jenkins injured his calf in Week 13 against the 49ers.
Analysis: Coach Mike McCarthy said the injury isn't as bad as the team's medical staff originally feared, but he still may be out a couple of weeks. Jenkins recorded a sack in each of his first four games and then didn't get his next one until Week 12 at Atlanta. He was a low-end Fantasy option to begin with, so keep him out of active IDP lineups until further notice.
News: The Packers expect to begin their final push for the playoffs without standout DE Cullen Jenkins. Jenkins strained his calf in the Packers' home victory over the 49ers, and Packers coach Mike McCarthy says he is not likely to be ready for Sunday's game at Detroit. McCarthy said the injury isn't as bad as the team's medical staff originally feared, but he still may be out a couple of weeks. Jenkins has three sacks in the Packers' last two games. The Packers are 8-4 after Sunday's win, trailing the 9-3 Chicago Bears in the NFC North. If the playoffs began today, Green Bay would be out of the picture.
Analysis: Jenkins recorded a sack in each of his first four games and then didn't get his next one until Week 12 at Atlanta. All of a sudden he has three in his last two games. But with the injury, Jenkins is not worth using in the majority of leagues for the rest of the season. Ignore him in most IDP formats in Week 14 even if he's able to play against the Lions.
News: Green Bay DL Cullen Jenkins played well once again in the Week 13 win over the San Francisco 49ers. Jenkins picked up two more sacks against Niners QB Troy Smith and now has three sacks in his last two games and seven on the year. That said, Jenkins left the game late with a calf injury and was taken to the locker room. He did not return. It appears to be the same calf he injured prior to the Dallas game and has limited him in practice.
Analysis: Jenkins recorded a sack in each of his first four games and then didn't get his next until Week 12 at Atlanta. All of a sudden he has three in his last two games. However, he's also dealing with the injury heading into Week 14 at Detroit. He might be worth using in IDP play, but Fantasy owners will need to monitor the injury.
News: Packers DL Cullen Jenkins, who was iffy leading up to the game with a calf injury, looked fine Week 12 at Atlanta. He recorded a sack and had two tackles, both solo.
Analysis: Jenkins recorded a sack in each of his first four games but didn't record his fifth until Sunday. That kind of inconsistency isn't what you want to see in Fantasy. Unless he gets another sack in the next week or two, he remains at best a No. 3 DL in Fantasy IDP leagues.
News: Packers DL Cullen Jenkins, who was limited in practice this week by a calf injury, is active for Week 12 at Atlanta.
Analysis: Jenkins had a sack in each of his first four games but hasn't done much of anything since then. He's little more than a last resort in Fantasy IDP leagues.
News: Packers DL Cullen Jenkins tweaked his calf muscle during the Vikings game in Week 11 and did not practice Wednesday. He's being held out to make sure the injury doesn't get worse. It has bothered him since he hurt it in warmups before the first Vikings game in Week 7. The Packers are preparing to play Falcons in Week 12.
Analysis: Jenkins got off to a hot start this season with a sack in four straight games. He has since cooled off, going without a sack in six straight games. This injury seems to be hindering his play. Jenkins remains a very low-end Fantasy flier since he has just 14 tackles in nine games. He either gets a sack or doesn't help Fantasy owners.
News: Packers DL Cullen Jenkins, who was limited in practice all week by a calf injury, is active for Week 8 at the Jets. He missed Week 7 because of the injury.
Analysis: Jenkins is mostly a run stopper and doesn't fill up the stat sheet. He'll get the occasional sack, but he's at best a No. 3 DL in Fantasy IDP leagues.
News: Packers DE Cullen Jenkins (calf) was injured in warm-ups before the Week 7 game and did not play. For Week 8, he is officially listed as questionable with the injury after seeing limited practice time all week.
Analysis: Jenkins is a great run-defender who normally doesn't fill up the stat sheet. He does pick up the occasional sack, so he has some Fantasy value but not enough for the majority of IDP leagues.
News: The Packers lost starting DEs Cullen Jenkins (calf, pre-game injury) and Ryan Pickett (ankle) in the Week 7 win over Minnesota. Coach Mike McCarthy was not yet sure of their status for next week.
Analysis: Jenkins is more of a space eater than anything else for the Packers and has minimal Fantasy value despite the sacks. Don't use him in the majority of IDP leagues in Week 7 against the Vikings, even when healthy.
News: Packers DL Cullen Jenkins is listed as probable for the Week 7 game against the Vikings with a hand issue. He practiced on Wednesday in a limited capacity and was able to go at full speed on Thursday and Friday.
Analysis: Jenkins is more of a space eater than anything else for the Packers and has minimal Fantasy value despite the sacks. Don't use him in the majority of IDP leagues in Week 7 against the Vikings.
News: Packers DL Cullen Jenkins had two tackles in Sunday's game against the Redskins in Week 5. He ended his streak of a sack in each game to start the season.
Analysis: Jenkins is more of a space eater than anything else for the Packers and has minimal Fantasy value despite the sacks. Don't use him in the majority of IDP leagues in Week 6 against the Dolphins.
News: Packers DL Cullen Jenkins totaled three tackles (two solo) and one sack in Week 4 against the Lions. He has managed a sack in four straight games to open the 2010 season. His career high in sacks was 6 1/2, set in 2006. He finished with three tackles in Week 4.
Analysis: With the Packers a little thin along the defensive line, Jenkins has really stepped up his performance in 2010. Still, outside of the four sacks, he has just nine tackles. Clearly, it's hit or miss with him. Jenkins is gaining steam in Fantasy leagues, but he still remains a low-end Fantasy start.
News: The Packers' top four linemen are on the injury report, potentially leaving the league's No. 1-rated defense short-handed going into Sunday's game at Chicago. Coach Mike McCarthy was optimistic after practice Friday that the Packers will have most of those injured players, if not all of them, available. Starting end Cullen Jenkins (hamstring) and rookie tackle B.J. Raji (ankle) are probable for the game. Johnny Jolly (knee), the other starting end, is questionable. But nose tackle Ryan Pickett (hamstring) didn't practice this week and is listed as doubtful, and he'd be missed the most.
Analysis: None of these defensive linemen put up enough stats to warrant Fantasy use. Look elsewhere for help in IDP leagues.
News: Packers DL Cullen Jenkins (two tackles, sack), DB Nick Collins (two tackles, interception) and DL B.J. Raji (one sack) all had nice Fantasy outings in a Week 11 win over San Francisco.
Analysis: Collins and Jenkins have some value in deeper IDP leagues and are probably worth a shot in deeper IDP leagues for Week 12 at Detroit. Raji is a raw talent, but isn't worth using just yet.
News: Green Bay DL Cullen Jenkins recorded a sack and three tackles during the Week 7 win at Cleveland.
Analysis: Jenkins now has three sacks on the season to go with an interception, two forced fumbles and 15 tackles. This was his first sack since Week 2. Jenkins doesn't pick up enough tackles to really be considered a solid Fantasy IDP play. Only use him in the deepest of IDP leagues as a bye-week replacement Week 8 against Minnesota.
News: Green Bay DB Al Harris, DB Atari Bigby and DL Cullen Jenkins all picked off passes in Week 6 in a 26-0 win over the Lions.
Analysis: These players are all low-end options in IDP formats and have similarly low values. They should be considered as such for the team's Week 7 game at Cleveland.
News: Green Bay DL Cullen Jenkins has been listed as probable for the team's Week 6 game against the Lions. Jenkins is dealing with an ankle injury.
Analysis: Jenkins is a disruptive force on the defensive line for the Packers when healthy but is not much of a Fantasy points earner. Think of him as just a low-end option in IDP formats for Week 6.
News: Packers LB Aaron Kampman had seven tackles Sunday against Cincinnati. He got help from LB A.J. Hawk (four tackles), LB Nick Barnett (three tackles), DL Cullen Jenkins (two tackles, one sack) and LB Brandon Chillar (two tackles).
Analysis: The Packers should do well in Week 3 at the Rams. Start all your regular Packers defenders in IDP leagues at St. Louis.
News: With the Packers' season opener against Chicago at Lambeau Field looming Sunday night, Cullen Jenkins is back, healthy and ready to resume his role as a disruptive force on the defensive line. "It's been a long time," Jenkins said. "I've never been on IR before, I've never missed that many games. Just anxious - anxious to get back out there and try to pick up where I left off."
Analysis: Jenkins tore a pectoral muscle in Week 4 last season. He missed the remainder of the season, and the Green Bay Packers missed him dearly. Jenkins' return could provide a big boost for the Packers, who consider him one of the best players on a roster that includes plenty of recognizable names. The Packers' defense had nine sacks in the first three games, and Jenkins was in on 2 1/2 of them. Then Jenkins was injured in the fourth quarter against Tampa Bay - and Green Bay's defense had only 18 sacks the rest of the season. Their season sack total of 27 was 25th in the league. Expect Jenkins to become a pretty solid Fantasy IDP option at the weak DL position and his health should also greatly boost the value of the Green Bay DST.
News: When healthy, defensive lineman Cullen Jenkins is one of the Green Bay Packers' best players. That's a pretty strong statement to make - especially when it's made by Packers coach Mike McCarthy. "Cullen Jenkins is a difference-maker," McCarthy said Sunday. "You could make a point, or an argument, that Cullen Jenkins may be the best or one of the best players on our football team. He's an impact player when he's in there. He's had some injuries that he's had to fight through. We're definitely a different defensive line, a different defense when he plays." Nationally, Jenkins might best be known as the little brother of the New York Jets' Kris Jenkins. But in Green Bay, he's seen as something of a secret weapon.
Analysis: Jenkins got off to a stellar start last season, posting 18 tackles and 2 1/2 sacks in the first four games. But he tore a pectoral muscle in the Packers' Week 4 game against Tampa Bay and had to have surgery, forcing him to miss the last 12 games of last season. "If he got to play a whole season, people would have come around and realized (his success)," Packers linebacker A.J. Hawk said. "It was a shame how it happened. But the good thing is, he's back here for another season and it looks like he feels good now." Now the Packers are counting heavily on a fully recovered Jenkins to lead its defensive resurgence under a new defensive coordinator, Dom Capers, and a new 3-4 alignment. Jenkins is still learning the new defense and the techniques it will require him to master. But he is confident that he'll again stand out when the games start to count. It sounds like Jenkins could become a pretty solid Fantasy IDP option at the weak DL position and his healthy could also greatly boost the value of the Green Bay DST.
News: The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reports that Packers DL Cullen is out for the season with a torn right pectoral muscle. Surgery will be necessary and he will be placed on IR.
Analysis: Jenkins was off to a good start this season with 2 1/2 sacks in four games, but he can now be cut in all formats.
News: Packers DL Cullen Jenkins, who equaled his 2007 total with a sack Week 2 at Detroit, got 1 1/2 more sacks Week 3 at Tampa Bay. He also had five tackles -- three solo -- and a forced fumble.
Analysis: Jenkins looks like more of a pass rusher in this year's version of the Packers, but he likely won't get enough sacks to become a huge Fantasy contributor.
News: Packers DL Cullen Jenkins (ankle) is listed as questionable for Week 8 at Denver. He went through limited practice reps Thursday and Friday. Jenkins has 21 tackles and one sack in six games.
Analysis: Jenkins is having one of the best years of his career, but he doesn't put up the kind of stats that Fantasy owners would like to see. He is nothing more than a low-end Fantasy DL when healthy. Continue to track his progress. He will be a game-time decision.
News: Packers DL Cullen Jenkins (ankle) went through limited practice reps Thursday as the team prepares for Week 8 at Denver. Jenkins has 21 tackles and one sack in six games.
Analysis: Jenkins is having one of the best years of his career, but he doesn't put up the kind of stats that Fantasy owners would like to see. He is nothing more than a low-end Fantasy DL when healthy. Continue to track his progress.
News: Packers DL Cullen Jenkins had five tackles and a sack Sunday against Washington.
Analysis: Jenkins is a low-end DL in IDP leagues and should only be used in IDP leagues if needed. The Packers are off in Week 7 and return in Week 8 at Denver.
News: Cullen Jenkins (ribs) was able to play in Week 5 against the Bears. He made two solo stops and assisted on two others.
Analysis: Despite the decent day, Jenkins is still only worth a look in the deepest of Fantasy IDP leagues. The Packers host the Redskins in Week 6.
News: Packers DL Cullen Jenkins led a dominant performance by the line in its unofficial 2007 debut. He had two of the group's five sacks and also forced a fumble in Green Bay's 13-9 preseason win at Pittsburgh on Aug. 11, reports The Sports Xchange. "Our goal this year is to be the best defensive line and best defense in the league," Jenkins said. "We want to try to carry this team with our play. So, we're just trying to get off to a good start."
Analysis: Jenkins went from a nobody to a legit starter in Green Bay towards the end of the season, finishing with 32 total tackles (23 solo), 6.5 sacks, two fumble recoveries and a pass defensed. Jenkins could produce better numbers when faced with playing a full season on a regular basis. Consider him a prominent sleeper DL option in 2007 IDP league play.
News: Defensive lineman Cullen Jenkins has signed a four-year, $16 million contract extension with the Packers. Jenkins has played defensive tackle and defensive end for the Packers, and said he doesn't know where he'll fit in the defensive line rotation this season. For now, he's just happy he doesn't have to worry about an uncertain future. Jenkins, who was slated to become a restricted free agent, wanted to stay in Green Bay because of the city's family atmosphere. "Hopefully next year, whatever the role is, I'll be a little more comfortable with it," Jenkins said.

News: The Green Bay Press-Gazette reports that the Packers are trying to sign DT/DE Cullen Jenkins to a contract extension before free agency starts March 2. Jenkins is scheduled to be a restricted free agent, and the Packers are expected to use either a first- or second-round tender on Jenkins to keep him in town.

News: Packers DL Cullen Jenkins had three sacks and a fumble recovery in Week 15 vs. Detroit.
Analysis: The stats didn't help anyone in Fantasy leagues because no one owns him. That shouldn't really change for Week 16 despite the strong option.

LB Nick Barnett had six tackles. DB Charles Woodson had two tackles and a fumble recovery. DL Aaron Kampman had five tackles and a half-sack. DL Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila had one tackle.

News: On the Packers injury report Friday, DT Cullen Jenkins (illness) was removed from the injury report while SS Nick Collins (hamstring) and LB Ben Taylor (hamstring) were upgraded to questionable. All three players practiced Friday.
Analysis: Only Collins is a considerable Fantasy option, and that's as a desperation DB option in the deepest of Fantasy leagues.
News: Packers LB Ben Taylor (hamstring) is doubtful, TE David Martin (ribs), RB P.J. Pope (hamstring) and LB Nick Barnett (hand) are questionable, while DL Cullen Jenkins (Illness) and DB Charles Woodson (shoulder) is listed as probable for Week 13 vs. N.Y. Jets.
