Latest NFL Player News

Chad Lewis, TE PHI - Blue Balls Updated 11/19/01
Lewis suffered a slight knee injury during Sunday's 36-3 win over Dallas.
The injury isn't considered serious, however, and Lewis is expected to
start this weekend's game against Washington.

Steve McNair, QB TEN - Houston Big Ballers Updated 11/19/01
McNair was able to play with an injury to his right thumb, but the
Tennessean says he will probably miss some practice time this week.
He should still be able to play in the team's next game.

 Packers, DT GB - Uran Man Updated 11/19/01
Safety LeRoy Butler suffered a fractured left shoulder blade during
Sunday's game against Atlanta. He is out indefinitely and could miss the
remainder of the season. Chris Akins will likely take over the starting
duties in Butler's absence.

Steve McNair, QB TEN - Houston Big Ballers Updated 11/19/01
McNair was able to play with an injury to his right thumb, but the
Tennessean says he will probably miss some practice time this week.
He should still be able to play in the team's next game.

Az-Zahir Hakim, WR STL - Luccis Losers Updated 11/19/01
Hakim left Sunday's game against New England with an ankle injury. X-rays
were negative, and Hakim is listed as day to day.

Reggie Wayne, WR IND - Free Agent Updated 11/19/01
Wayne suffered a sprained knee on Sunday. His current status is day to day.

Rod Smith, WR DEN - Blue Balls Updated 11/19/01
Smith (ankle) could not finish Sunday's game. His status for Thursday's
game against Dallas is unclear.

Terance Mathis, WR ATL - Dont Mess Updated 11/19/01
Mathis has by far his best game of the season, catching seven passes for 70
yards against Green Bay. He suffered a mild concussion in the game, but
he's expected to be fine for this weekend's contest at Carolina.

Jackie Harris, TE DAL - Free Agent Updated 11/19/01
Harris suffered a strained right hamstring during Sunday's game against
Philadelphia. He did not return to the contest, and is listed as day to
day.

Frank Sanders, WR ARI - Dont Mess Updated 11/19/01
Sanders had a huge game against Detroit on Sunday, catching seven passes
for 127 yards and a touchdown. He injured his hamstring in the game,
however, and is listed as day to day.

Quincy Carter, QB DAL - Free Agent Updated 11/19/01
Carter feels as though his hamstring has healed enough that he's ready to
return to action. However, the Cowboys will start Ryan Leaf for a few more
weeks before Carter gets his starting job back. The team wants to evaluate
Leaf in a few games this season to determine if he'll have any trade value
in the offseason.

James Jackson, RB CLE - Uran Man Updated 11/19/01
Jackson told the Cleveland Plain-Dealer it was a coach's decision
not to use him against the Ravens. Jackson had been suffering from an ankle
injury, but reports prior to gametime had indicated he might have been able
to play. With the sudden emergence of Benjamin Gay, Jackson's Fantasy value
might drop greatly.

Ryan Leaf, QB DAL - Free Agent Updated 11/19/01
Leaf had another terrible outing this weekend, but the Dallas Morning
News is reporting that he'll remain the team's starting quarterback for
the time being. However, he's no better than waiver wire fodder in Fantasy
Football.

Kevin Lockett, WR WAS - Free Agent Updated 11/19/01
Lockett left Sunday's game against Denver in the first quarter due to a rib
injury. His status for next week's game against Philadelphia is uncertain
at this time.

Tony Banks, QB WAS - Free Agent Updated 11/19/01
Banks, who suffered a concussion during Sunday's game against Denver, told
the Washington Post that there's a "definite possibility" he would
be ready in time for next weekend's game against Philadelphia. Kent Graham
would start if Banks is unable to play, but neither QB is an attractive
Fantasy option against the Eagles.

Emmitt Smith, RB DAL - Team Dick Updated 11/19/01
Smith left Sunday's game against Philadelphia with a sprained knee.
However, he is expected to be in the starting lineup when Dallas faces
Denver on Thanksgiving Day.

Larry Foster, WR DET - Free Agent Updated 11/19/01
Foster suffered an apparent leg injury during Sunday's game against
Arizona. He is listed as day to day.

Desmond Howard, WR DET - Free Agent Updated 11/19/01
Howard suffered a shoulder injury during Sunday's win over Arizona. He did
not return to the game, and is listed as day to day.

Bert Emanuel, WR DET - Blue Balls Updated 11/19/01
Emanuel suffered a knee injury during Sunday's game against Arizona. He is
listed as day to day.

Muhsin Muhammad, WR CAR - Orange Roughy Updated 11/18/01
Muhammad sprained his left shoulder in Sunday's game against the 49ers. His
status for the Week 11 game against Atlanta is unclear.

Mike Anderson, RB DEN - Really Rottens Updated 11/18/01
Anderson rushed for only 31 yards on 13 carries against the Redskins.
Olandis Gary carried the ball 10 times for 28 yards. It is apparent
Anderson is no longer worthy of a starting spot on Fantasy teams, and Gary
will continue to see some work at his expense.

Michael Westbrook, WR WAS - C-Dawg's Boyz Updated 11/18/01
Westbrook caught nine passes for 104 yards and a TD at Denver. Opposing
defenses are focusing on rookie Rod Gardner, and Westbrook is getting open
often after starting the year slowly.

Jake Plummer, QB ARI - Really Rottens Updated 11/18/01
Plummer threw for 334 yards, four TDs and was intercepted once by Detroit.
Such stellar performances are rare for Plummer, who may not have a better
game this season.

Michael Pittman, RB ARI - Dont Mess Updated 11/18/01
The awful Detroit defense limited Pittman to 81 rushing yards on 23
carries. Don't start Pittman in any upcoming weeks unless your team is very
thin at RB..

David Sloan, TE DET - Free Agent Updated 11/18/01
Sloan caught two TD passes for a total of three yards at Arizona. If you
are desperate for help at TE, consider Sloan, who always gets regular looks
from Charlie Batch.

Lamont Warren, RB DET - Free Agent Updated 11/18/01
Warren rushed for 32 yards and a TD at Arizona and caught 11 passes for 64
yards and a score. The Lions will continue to feature Warren on third downs
and near the goal line as a receiver, making him a good Fantasy backup for
the rest of the year.

Warrick Dunn, RB TB - President Taft Updated 11/18/01
Dunn caught 12 passes for 138 yards against the Bears, but he rushed for
only 12 yards and fumbled twice. Don't count on Dunn for consistently good
Fantasy numbers during the next few weeks. He can be explosive, but he is
also erratic.

Keyshawn Johnson, WR TB - Orange Roughy Updated 11/18/01
Johnson caught 12 passes for 89 yards against the Bears, but he failed to
get in the end zone again. Don't depend on Johnson down the stretch unless
your team is very thin at wideout.

David Terrell, WR CHI - Really Rottens Updated 11/18/01
Terrell caught one pass for 15 yards at Tampa Bay. The rookie wideout is
not consistent enough to start for most Fantasy teams.

Marty Booker, WR CHI - Luccis Losers Updated 11/18/01
Booker caught seven passes for 165 yards and three TDs at Tampa Bay. In his
third season, Booker has become a superb Fantasy wideout. He is a player
you must start every week, no matter what matchup he faces.

Plaxico Burress, WR PIT - DRock's Beaatchs Updated 11/18/01
The Jaguars limited Burress to one catch for 13 yards. The second-year
receiver has still not proven he can be a reliable Fantasy player.

LaDainian Tomlinson, RB SD - DRock's Beaatchs Updated 11/18/01
Tomlinson put up decent rushing numbers against Oakland, posting 68 yards
and a touchdown. His overall statistics have been down in recent weeks,
however, which may have something to do with the fact that he held out for
the entire preseason.

Hines Ward, WR PIT - Team Chick Updated 11/18/01
Ward caught nine passes for 112 yards and a TD against Jacksonville. While
he doesn't score often, Ward has become a very solid receiver for
Pittsburgh this year, and he will always post respectable totals.

Doug Flutie, QB SD - President Taft Updated 11/18/01
Flutie's recent struggles continued against Oakland, throwing for only 98
yards on Sunday. Unless he faces a good matchup, starting Flutie is
becoming somewhat of a gamble.

Stacey Mack, RB JAC - DRock's Beaatchs Updated 11/18/01
Mack was held to six rushing yards on eight carries at Pittsburgh. He has
not been a reliable back for the Jaguars or Fantasy owners this season.

Rich Gannon, QB OAK - Team Chick Updated 11/18/01
Gannon had a solid outing against San Diego, throwing for 311 yards and
four touchdowns. He's one of the top five Fantasy quarterbacks in the
league and is a must-start every week.

Jerry Rice, WR OAK - Team Chick Updated 11/18/01
Rice had a huge game on Sunday, catching eight passes for 131 yards and
three touchdowns against San Diego. Rice may not be an every-week starter
in smaller leagues, but he can certainly still put up huge Fantasy numbers
when the matchup is right.

Tony Banks, QB WAS - Free Agent Updated 11/18/01
Banks was carted off the field in the second quarter of Sunday's game at
Denver with a concussion. He was replaced by Kent Graham.

Brett Favre, QB GB - Dont Mess Updated 11/18/01
Favre threw for 262 yards and two TDs against the Falcons, but he was
intercepted three times and lost a fumble. Despite some inconsistent play
in recent weeks, Favre's potential for big games makes him a must-start
every week.

Corey Bradford, WR GB - Free Agent Updated 11/18/01
Bradford caught three passes for 117 yards against Atlanta. The Green Bay
wideout is still too inconsistent to be considered a solid Fantasy player.

Chris Chandler, QB ATL - Orange Roughy Updated 11/18/01
Chandler started at Green Bay, and threw for 352 yards, two TDs and two
interceptions. He remains a good Fantasy backup when healthy.

Bob Christian, RB ATL - Free Agent Updated 11/18/01
Christian rushed for 40 yards and caught five passes for 62 yards at Green
Bay. The Falcons are using him more often, and Christian makes a good
backup RB right now.

Elvis Grbac, QB BAL - Blue Balls Updated 11/18/01
Grbac threw for 261 yards, two TDs and was intercepted four times by the
Browns. The veteran QB has been a big disappointment this year and should
not start for most Fantasy teams.

Jason Brookins, RB BAL - Houston Big Ballers Updated 11/18/01
Brookins rushed for 89 yards on 21 carries against the Browns. The rookie
is a servicable, yet unspectacular Fantasy player who should give you some
occasional TDs down the stretch.

Tim Couch, QB CLE - Team Chick Updated 11/18/01
Couch threw for only 144 yards and was intercepted three times at
Baltimore. The Cleveland QB appears to be a risk even as a Fantasy backup
right now.

Benjamin Gay, RB CLE - Free Agent Updated 11/18/01
Gay saw his first extensive action of the year, carrying the ball 18 times
for 56 yards and a TD at Baltimore. He displayed good vision and lateral
quickness, and Gay is definitely worth picking up if you need help at RB.

James Jackson, RB CLE - Uran Man Updated 11/18/01
Jackson (ankle) did not play at Baltimore. Benjamin Gay and Jamel White
shared carries in his place.

Lamar Smith, RB MIA - Texas Terminators Updated 11/18/01
Smith rushed for only 53 yards on 19 carries against the Jets. Smith
appears to be mired in mediocrity right now, and he is a risky start unless
you lack depth at RB.

Chris Chambers, WR MIA - Texas Terminators Updated 11/18/01
The rookie wideout caught only two passes for 25 yards against the Jets.
Chambers is still too inconsistent to start for most Fantasy teams.

Santana Moss, WR NYJ - Grid Iron Goons Updated 11/18/01
Moss made his pro debut on Sunday, but did not catch a pass and was stopped
for a six-yard loss on his one carry. The rookie has missed too much time
to make a Fantasy impact this season.

Richard Huntley, RB CAR - Orange Roughy Updated 11/18/01
Huntley actually had a good outing against San Francisco, posting 94
scrimmage yards and a touchdown. However, he's far too inconsistent to
start on a weekly basis.

Chris Weinke, QB CAR - Houston Big Ballers Updated 11/18/01
Weinke started Sunday's game against San Francisco after missing last
week's game due to a shoulder injury. He put up decent numbers, throwing
for 177 yards and two touchdowns in Carolina's 25-22 OT loss.

Wayne Chrebet, WR NYJ - Dont Mess Updated 11/18/01
Chrebet did not catch a pass at Miami. The Jets' wideout is no longer
worthy of a starting spot on Fantasy teams.

Garrison Hearst, RB SF - Really Rottens Updated 11/18/01
Hearst had another strong game, posting 113 scrimmage yards against
Carolina. His comeback from a serious ankle condition is nothing short of
miraculous, and he's actually been a reliable Fantasy player over the last
two weeks.

Alex Van Pelt, QB BUF - Free Agent Updated 11/18/01
Van Pelt threw for 316 yards, two TDs and no interceptions against the
Seahawks. He did lose a fumble, but Van Pelt got solid protection for most
of the game and will be a respectable Fantasy backup while he fills in for
the injured Rob Johnson.

Jeff Garcia, QB SF - C-Dawg's Boyz Updated 11/18/01
Garcia had another huge game, posting 305 yards and three touchdowns
against Carolina. He's been one of the top three Fantasy quarterbacks this
season, and may even be more valuable than Peyton Manning at this point.

Peerless Price, WR BUF - DRock's Beaatchs Updated 11/18/01
Price caught 10 passes for 138 yards and a TD against Seattle. He has
clearly become Buffalo's best Fantasy player this season.

Matt Hasselbeck, QB SEA - Texas Terminators Updated 11/18/01
Hasselbeck threw for 134 yards, one TD and no interceptions at Buffalo. The
Seattle QB is making less mistakes, yet he doesn't help Fantasy teams much,
either.

Jon Kitna, QB CIN - Blue Balls Updated 11/18/01
Kitna put up 234 yards passing and a touchdown against Tennessee, but two
interceptions made his performance mediocre. He's no better than a reserve
Fantasy player at this point, best used when the matchup is right in a
deeper league.

Koren Robinson, WR SEA - Orange Roughy Updated 11/18/01
Robinson caught two passes for 15 yards at Buffalo, including his first
career TD, a seven-yarder. Robinson is slowly improving, but still does not
produce enough to be a reliable Fantasy player.

Corey Dillon, RB CIN - Texas Terminators Updated 11/18/01
Dillon was held in check by Tennessee, rushing for only 38 yards on Sunday.
However, with all the injured running backs around the league this season,
Dillon is still a must-start on a weekly basis.

Steve McNair, QB TEN - Houston Big Ballers Updated 11/18/01
McNair played despite a sore thumb, throwing for 172 yards and a touchdown
against Cincinnati. He's been an unreliable Fantasy player this season, and
is worth starting only when the matchup is right.

Eddie George, RB TEN - Team Dick Updated 11/18/01
George was unimpressive once again, posting only 65 scrimmage yards on
Sunday against Cincinnati. He just doesn't seem to be at full speed this
season, and has been a huge Fantasy disappointment.

Ricky Williams, RB NO - Uran Man Updated 11/18/01
Williams had a big game on Sunday, rushing for 120 yards and a touchdown
against Indianapolis. He continues to prove his value as a Fantasy player,
and is a must-start ever week.

Aaron Brooks, QB NO - Grid Iron Goons Updated 11/18/01
Brooks had an outstanding game against Indianapolis, throwing for 249 yards
and two touchdowns. He's put together two straight solid games, and may
finally be reaching the potential the coaching staff knew he was capable
of.

Peyton Manning, QB IND - Orange Roughy Updated 11/18/01
Manning put up a decent performance against New Orleans, posting 262 yards
and a touchdown. He may not be putting up Manning-like numbers this season,
but he's still far too valuable to ever consider benching.

Marcus Pollard, TE IND - Really Rottens Updated 11/18/01
Pollard had a huge game on Sunday, catching three passes for 126 yards and
a touchdown against New Orleans. He may not be the most consistent Fantasy
player, but the lack of tight end depth around the league makes him a
valuable commodity.

Donovan McNabb, QB PHI - Team Dick Updated 11/18/01
McNabb was unimpressive on Sunday, compiling only 153 scrimmage yards and a
touchdown against Dallas. Despite the mediocre performance, McNabb is still
one of the best Fantasy quarterbacks in the league.

Ryan Leaf, QB DAL - Free Agent Updated 11/18/01
Leaf was horrible for the second straight week, throwing for only 102 yards
with two interceptions. Incidently, both picks were returned for touchdowns
as Dallas fell to Philadelphia, 36-3.

Emmitt Smith, RB DAL - Team Dick Updated 11/18/01
Smith left Sunday's game against Philadelphia in the second half with an
apparent knee injury. He did not return to the game, and finished the day
with 90 scrimmage yards and a fumble.

James Jackson, RB CLE - Uran Man Updated 11/18/01
Jackson (ankle) did not start in Sunday's game. Jamel White started against
the Ravens.

Steve McNair, QB TEN - Houston Big Ballers Updated 11/18/01
McNair will start Sunday's game against Cincinnati as long after taking
pre-game snaps without any problems. McNair, who is dealing with a thumb
injury, isn't worth starting on your Fantasy team outside of deeper
leagues.

Jacquez Green, WR TB - DRock's Beaatchs Updated 11/18/01
Green (abdominal strain) is out for Sunday's game. Reidel Anthony will
start in his absence.

James Stewart, RB DET - Orange Roughy Updated 11/18/01
Stewart (ankle) is out for Sunday's game against Arizona. However, coach
Marty Mornhinweg stated that Stewart is making progress, and is getting
closer to returning to action.

Marco Battaglia, TE CIN - Free Agent Updated 11/18/01
Battaglia (appendectomy) is out at least a month, and may miss the rest of
the season. The big tight end has no real value as a Fantasy player.

Mark Brunell, QB JAC - President Taft Updated 11/18/01
Brunell (quadriceps) will start on Sunday against Pittsburgh. He'll be
facing a tough Steelers' secondary at less than 100 percent, however, so
Fantasy owners may want to consider benching him in Week 10.

Fred Taylor, RB JAC - Dont Mess Updated 11/18/01
Taylor (groin) practiced without incident on Friday, but he still needs
medical clearance before he can play in Sunday's game against Pittsburgh.
Even is he is able to play, however, he'd only be used on a limited basis.
Stacey Mack will get the start in any event, so playing Taylor on your
Fantasy team is not a wise move.

Jerome Pathon, WR IND - Team Dick Updated 11/18/01
Pathon (foot) is out for Sunday's game against New Orleans, according to
the Indianapolis Star. Reggie Wayne will start in Pathon's place
once again.

James Jackson, RB CLE - Uran Man Updated 11/18/01
Jackson (ankle) will likely be a gametime decison on Sunday against
Baltimore. If the rookie tailback is unable to play, Jamel White will be
Cleveland's featured back with Benjamin Gay getting some looks in the
backfield as well.

Correll Buckhalter, RB PHI - Uran Man Updated 11/17/01
Buckhalter has been suspended for this weekend's game against Dallas. He is
one of three Eagles who will be held out of the game. Brian Mitchell will
likely serve as Duce Staley's backup.

Jamal Lewis, RB BAL - Free Agent Updated 11/17/01
According to published reports, Lewis has been suspended for four games.
Lewis' four-game suspension went into effect on Friday and he will not be
allowed to work out or rehabilitate with the team for four weeks, or until
Dec. 17. Instead, Lewis will work toward recovering from a torn ACL in
Tennessee.

Tyrone Wheatley, RB OAK - Uran Man Updated 11/16/01
Wheatley (knee) is out for Sunday's game with the Chargers. Charlie Garner
will once again be Oakland's feature back. Zack Crockett may be used in
goal-line situations.

Frank Wycheck, TE TEN - DRock's Beaatchs Updated 11/16/01
According to published reports, Wycheck is expected to play half of
Sunday's game against Cincinnati. That makes him a risky start from a
Fantasy perspective.

Steve McNair, QB TEN - Houston Big Ballers Updated 11/16/01
McNair's status is still in question for Sunday's game against Cincinnati
due to an injured right thumb. He threw the ball during individual drills
Friday, and according to published reports, is likely to play despite not
being 100 percent. We don't recommend McNair this week as a result.

Emmitt Smith, RB DAL - Team Dick Updated 11/16/01
Smith will return to the lineup Sunday against Philadelphia after missing
two games with a sprained right knee. Cowboys Head Coach Dave Campo said
after Friday's practice that Smith would "be ready to play the majority of
the game." His return bumps Troy Hambrick to fullback, but we wouldn't
recommend you use either back against the stingy Eagles rush defense.

Frank Sanders, WR ARI - Dont Mess Updated 11/16/01
Sanders (hamstring) was added to the NFL injury report on Friday and is now
listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Detroit. However, if
you're completely desperate for a wideout in a larger league this week,
Sanders' matchup against a vulnerable Detroit secondary is worth
considering as long as he's able to play.

Chris Weinke, QB CAR - Houston Big Ballers Updated 11/16/01
According to published reports, Weinke will be the starting quarterback for
Sunday's game against San Francisco. However, he's not worth starting on
your Fantasy team.

Daunte Culpepper, QB MIN - DRock's Beaatchs Updated 11/16/01
Culpepper is one pace for a good Fantasy season despite the lack of
consistency in Minnesota's offense this season. He's one of the better
quarterbacks in the league from a Fantasy perspective, and should be in
your starting lineup on a weekly basis.

Cris Carter, WR MIN - Luccis Losers Updated 11/16/01
Carter's numbers may be down somewhat this season, but he's still too good
to ever consider benching. The veteran has a knack for finding the end
zone, and should have a good game against rookie CB Will Allen and the
Giants' secondary on Monday night.

Randy Moss, WR MIN - Team Chick Updated 11/16/01
Moss is listed as probable for Monday's game against the N.Y. Giants due to
an ankle injury. He's been underachieving this season, but it's almost
impossible to bench him based on his potential to post solid Fantasy
numbers.

Ricky Williams, RB NO - Uran Man Updated 11/16/01
Williams is one of the better Fantasy backs in the league, and is a good
player to use on a weekly basis. He'll face an Indianapolis defense that
has been underachieving all season long, so Williams is a must-start.

Aaron Brooks, QB NO - Grid Iron Goons Updated 11/16/01
Brooks had a big game against San Francisco last weekend, throwing for 347
yards and two scores. He may be a bit inconsistent this season, but his
potential to post huge numbers makes it tough to bench him, especially
against a vulnerable Indianapolis defense.

Willie Jackson, WR NO - Texas Terminators Updated 11/16/01
Jackson put up a huge game against San Francisco last weekend, posting 11
catches and 167 yards receiving. He'll face a questionable Indianapolis
squad that is vulnerable to the pass in Week 10, so starting Jackson this
week is a solid option.

Stephen Davis, RB WAS - Houston Big Ballers Updated 11/16/01
Davis has stepped up his play after beginning the season slowly. He's
averaged 112 yards rushing over his last four games, and is once again
emerging as a reliable Fantasy player. Give him the start in Week 10
against a Denver defense that is vulnerable to high scoring games.

Tony Banks, QB WAS - Free Agent Updated 11/16/01
Banks has played well of late, throwing five touchdowns in his last three
games. He's got a good matchup this weekend against a Denver team that can
be beaten through the air, but he's only worth considering in very deep
Fantasy leagues.

Michael Westbrook, WR WAS - C-Dawg's Boyz Updated 11/16/01
Westbrook has been inconsistent this season, but he has caught three
touchdown passes in his last four games. He'll face a Denver secondary this
weekend that is vulnerable at best, so starting him in deeper leagues is
worth considering.

Rod Gardner, WR WAS - Houston Big Ballers Updated 11/16/01
Gardner has been held in check in his last two games, catching only three
passes for 38 yards. He does have a favorable matchup this weekend against
Denver, however, so starting him is a good move.

Az-Zahir Hakim, WR STL - Luccis Losers Updated 11/16/01
Hakim has been inconsistent in recent weeks, so starting him on your
Fantasy team is a gamble unless the matchup is right. He'll go up against a
tough New England secondary in Week Ten, so avoid using him outside of
deeper leagues.

Torry Holt, WR STL - President Taft Updated 11/16/01
Holt continues to put up consistent yardage totals, but he's only scored
only three touchdowns this season. He'll face a tough New England secondary
this weekend, but he's still worth starting on your Fantasy team based on
his potential to put up solid numbers.

Isaac Bruce, WR STL - Uran Man Updated 11/16/01
Bruce hasn't put up the huge Fantasy totals this season, but he's still one
of the better wideouts in the league. He'll face CB Ty Law and the
formidable New England secondary, but he's still worth starting based on
his potential for big numbers.

USA: Dynegy trades $1.5 bln via online energy portal.

HOUSTON, Dec 11 (Reuters) - Wholesale natural gas and electricity marketer
Dynegy Inc. said on Monday its Dynegydirect Internet trading system had
chalked up $1.5 billion in notional transaction values since its launch on
Nov. 1.
Dynegydirect (www.dynegydirect.com) currently carries Dynegy's bid and offer
prices for over 300 energy and energy-related products, including North
American electricity, natural gas and natural gas liquids.
Coal, emission allowances and weather derivatives will be offered in the
first quarter of 2001, with international energy products and
telecommunications bandwidth following in the second quarter, Houston-based
Dynegy said in a statement.
Dynegydirect currently has over 400 registered users and Dynegy said that
over $1 billion of the deals done to date over the system were generated by
new customers for the company.
In addition to its own portal, Dynegy has been trading on the Tradespark
(www.trade-spark.com) multilateral online energy trading platform launched in
September.
Tradespark is backed by a partnership of several energy companies, including
Williams Cos., TXU Corp. and privately owned Koch Industries. Dynegy has said
it will join the partnership at a later date.
Dynegy's home-town rival Enron Corp. is regarded as the frontrunner in online
trading of wholesale energy products, with deals worth $183 billion
transacted over its EnronOnline (www.enrononline.com) system between November
1999 and October 2000.
Enron executives have said they also plan to use other online trading
platforms to do business and will not focus exclusively on the company's own
platform.

As mentioned during the fourth quarter, Gary and I would like to begin
regular meetings of our Trader's Roundtable.  The ideas generated from this
group should be longer term trading opportunities for Enron covering the
markets we manage.  In addition, this forum will provide for cross commodity
education, insight into many areas of Enron's businesses, and promote
aggressive ideas.

Each week, we'll summarize commodity trading activity, and provide an open
forum for discussion.  Your input is valuable, and we've limited this group
to our most experienced traders, and would appreciate regular participation.
Our first meeting will be Tuesday, January 9 at 4:00pm in EB3321.

Jeff & Gary


On Tuesday of this week I visited our Helsinki oil trading office. Set out
below are some general observations.

There are about 8 people in the office: 3 traders; 2 logistics people; 1
accounting/risk management person; and a couple secretaries. The office is
headed by Ilkka Kokko, a fairly young Finn. We bought the business in
September of last year.

The basic activity is the purchase of various oil products from Russian
refineries; the transportation of the products by RTC (railroad tank car)
from the refinery to various Baltic ports; the storage of the products at the
ports; and the loading of the products onto vessels for sale in other
markets. Many of the vessels are ocean-going because the products are sold in
non-European markets.

The products are normally purchased on a DAF (delivered at frontier) basis,
which means that title passes to Enron when the RTC crosses the Russian
border. As a result, Enron must arrange for the transport of the products
from the border to the port. This is arranged for us by the company that will
store the products at the port. In other words, the contract we have with the
terminal operator provides for transportation of the products from the
Russian border to the port, the unloading from the RTCs into storage,
storage, the unloading from storage into our vessels and all related customs,
measurement and testing services. We have these deals with about 5 different
Baltic companies.

About 20-30 vessels a month are chartered. About 25-40 product purchases a
month are done, some of which are term deals up to one year. About 300,000
tonnes a month is purchased.

Payments and settlements are done from London. We pay in dollars. The money
is almost always paid into accounts outside of Russia.

Because the business  results in a long position, the Helsinki office hedges
its position by doing deals with Enron's book in London -- no hedging is done
with anyone else. The business experienced some earnings volatility late last
year (had a negative gross margin of $200,000 in November and a positive
gross margin of $350,000 in December). This was largely because the position
wasn't effectively hedged. Hedging is difficult because the hedges are dirty
(due to basis and to product differences) and because it is difficult to
predict the amount of product that will be delivered in any given time period
(due to transportation bottlenecks and to flexibility in the Russians'
delivery obligations to us).

The business historically prepaid for part of the products it purchased. The
financing was historically arranged through a bank that would require a 10%
margin on funds it advanced -- $10 million deposited with the bank would mean
up to $100 million advanced to the Russians. The bank also insisted on having
recourse against Greenergy (the company we acquired) for all amounts
outstanding.

Enron has given Ilkka a $20 million limit on our exposure on these prepaid
deals. Because the bank wants to have recourse against Enron for all amounts
outstanding, the old method of financing these prepaid deals no longer works
given the amount of prepaid financing Ilkka would like to do. Ilkka is trying
to come up with another financing structure where the banks look solely to
the Russians for payment for at least part of the outstanding amount.

Ilkka is also thinking about buying products from the Russians at the
refinery gate. This would require Enron to arrange transportation from the
refinery, not just from the Russian border under the current DAF deals. Ilkka
thinks this will help him control the deliveries more and, as a result,
facilitate his hedging program.

Ilkka is also looking at buying some terminal assets in Estonia. The London
corporate development team is looking at this.

Ilkka confirmed to me that he has never paid any bribes in connection with
the business (even before the acquisition by Enron) and that he understands
the FCPA restrictions.

Robert Quick has made about three visits to the office and is working on a
variety of issues related to this business. Robert, please correct me if I've
made any errors or add something if I've left it out. Thanks!


Sue Mara was correct on the call yesterday.  While the PUC meets regularly on
Thursdays, it appears they are having a meeting today at which the "Bilas
Alternative" is up for a vote.  Our information is that there is some
likelihood that the decision will be approved----but please don't hold your
breath.  We'll disseminate information just as soon as we get it.

Best,

Well, the staff level is prettly low here, for just about every group related
to HPL.  Stacey did leave, so I am back to trading Waha.  However, it's going
a lot better this time.  I am actualy enjoying it somewhat.  With the
majority of the desk leaving, I am looking into moving into the day trading
arena for the new Texas Desk.  We'll see how that goes.  Bidweek was kinda
rough this time.  In addition to Stacey leaving during the middle of the
week, we have some major outages on the A/S line where we have to stay
balanced on Texoma and balanced on the south end.  The line has been split
into two seperate systems.  Handling that has been a constant battle.  Plus,
with the pending sale, people just don't care as much about the business.
It's a little harder to get things done.

Anyway, things are going pretty good at the house.  But, the list of things
to fix and do keeps getting longer and longer.  We are extremely busy.  The
kids are loving the stairs.  You ought to see Jake go down.  We taught him to
turn around backwards and crawl down the stairs on his belly.  Well, that was
too slow for him.  Now, he get's on his belly, feet up in the air, and slides
down, barely skiming the stairs.  He looks a penguin sliding down a snow
bank, except on his stomach.  Cole is doing his best to either run Jake off
or make him tough.  Cole runs over Jake with his toys, pushes Jake out the
way, or just walks right over him.  It doesn't affect Jake, though, he gets
right back up and keeps on going.

Anyway, I need to get back to work.  Hope the family is doing well.  Maybe
you can come down for lunch next week.  I'll give you a call in the next
couple of days.

Stacy,

Could we add the following phrase (as shown below in RED) to the Exxon Katy location?  This is to reassure our customers that the delivery is in fact intrastate.  Please let me know if this is possible to do and if we have your approval.

ExxonKaty
The transaction is for delivery of intrastate gas at the tailgate of the Exxon Katy Plant.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the General Terms and Conditions, if applicable, this Transaction is between Counterparty and Enron North America Corp.

Lisa,
what is involved in changing a product description to include this phrase?  I do have some customers in Texas that are legally bound to only trade intrastate gas and they are fearful of trading anything that doesn't specifically state that.
Since it is probably only a handful of customers, if it is a major production, it may not be worth it, but I wanted to check.
Thanks.

Hi Daren,
Bryan Hull gave me your name.  A customer was interested in trading Intrastate Gas and Bryan had informed me that our Exxon-Katy location is intrastate.  I was wondering if you would be interested in changing the long description on EOL for this location to include the phrase intrastate gas so that any customers that are interested would be able to see that.  If this is okay with you, I will forward it on to our product development team.
Thanks.

Subject: Broad Coalition Supports Electric Reliability Legislation

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The North American Electric Reliability Council (NERC) and a broad-based
coalition of electric industry and state organizations urged members of
Congress and other key energy officials to support prompt passage of
federal legislation to promote and ensure the continued reliability of
high-voltage electric transmission systems in the United States and
throughout North America.  In letters to DOE Secretary Abraham, members
of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, Representatives
Tauzin, Dingell, Barton and Boucher, and FERC Chairman Hebert, the
coalition stated that "It is critically important for Congress to act on
reliability legislation as soon as possible.  It will take many months
after legislation is enacted for FERC to adopt implementing rules and
designate the new electric reliability organization that the legislation
provides for.  In the meantime, consumers are exposed to increased risk
of failure of the transmission grid as more and more demands are placed
upon it."

For your convenience, a copy of the press release announcing the
coalition's support is shown below.

A copy is also posted on the following NERC web site:

If you have any questions, let me know.

Broad Coalition Supports Electric Reliability Legislation

The North American Electric Reliability Council (NERC) and a broad-based
coalition of electric industry and state organizations urged members of
Congress and other key energy officials to support prompt passage of
federal legislation to promote and ensure the continued reliability of
high-voltage electric transmission systems in the United States and
throughout North America.  In letters to DOE Secretary Abraham, members
of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, Representatives
Tauzin, Dingell, Barton and Boucher, and FERC Chairman Hebert, the
coalition stated that "It is critically important for Congress to act on
reliability legislation as soon as possible.  It will take many months
after legislation is enacted for FERC to adopt implementing rules and
designate the new electric reliability organization that the legislation
provides for.  In the meantime, consumers are exposed to increased risk
of failure of the transmission grid as more and more demands are placed
upon it."

For three decades, NERC and its member Regional Reliability Councils
have worked cooperatively and voluntarily to set reliability standards
for high-voltage transmission systems so that customers could enjoy
reliable electric service.  As electricity markets become increasingly
competitive, this voluntary arrangement will no longer suffice and needs
to be transformed into a mandatory system to assure a continued reliable
supply of electricity to America's homes and businesses. "Congress must
act soon on reliability legislation," said Michehl R. Gent, NERC
President and CEO.  "Enacting this legislation now is an important step
to ensure the continued reliability of the nation's high-voltage
electricity system, and one that should not wait."

Signing the letter are the North American Electric Reliability Council,
American Public Power Association, Canadian Electricity Association,
Edison Electric Institute, IEEE-USA, Large Public Power Council,
National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners, National
Association of State Energy Officials, National Association of State
Utility Consumer Advocates, National Electrical Manufacturers
Association, National Rural Electric Cooperative Association, Northwest
Regional Transmission Association, Transmission Access Policy Study
Group, and the Western Interconnection Coordination Forum.

For more information on NERC or its transformation into NAERO, visit
NERC's web site (http://www.nerc.com/).  The web site also includes
information on the electric industry's electricity supply and delivery
programs and activities.
*********************

NERC is a not-for-profit company formed as a result of the Northeast
blackout in 1965 to promote the reliability of the bulk electric systems
that serve North America. It works with all segments of the electric
industry as well as customers to "keep the lights on" by developing and
encouraging compliance with rules for the reliable operation of these
systems. NERC comprises ten Regional Reliability Councils that account
for virtually all the electricity supplied in the United States, Canada,
and a portion of Baja California Norte, Mexico.
