I'm going to try a new format for this post, so let me know if you're a fan or if you prefer the more detailed write-ups I've been providing. Here's how the new system will look:
Out: Fantasy-relevant players who have been confirmed out for the week, either through injury or suspension
Doubt: Players facing the dreaded late fitness test, rotation concerns and those who are out of form/favor
In: The likeliest replacements for the Outs & Doubts
Win: Fantasy player to watch / my hunch pick of the week

With the news that RVP is out, I'm now seriously considering bringing Wayne Rooney into my team for this week, though I'm not sure I want to stray too far away from the team I had earlier this week. Who are you considering for your team this weekend? Does RVP's absence change your thinking at all? What other players are on your mind?
