Alexander becomes two-way player: Meet Lorenzo Alexander, the NFL's newest two-way player. "It's like going back to high school," Alexander said. "Gridiron football." The first-year player is wearing the white jersey of the offense in practice this week, instead of his usual defense burgundy. A remarkable series of injuries has left the Washington Redskins in desperate need of offensive linemen for Sunday's game against Arizona, so they've moved the 300-pound defensive tackle across the line of scrimmage and have made him a guard. "I've got to know the defensive stuff, too," said Alexander, who is attending the offensive line meetings while catching up on the defense's schemes in his spare time. "It'll be a full-packed weekend, as far as watching film and getting the game plan and stuff." (Updated 10/18/2007).

Fantasy Analysis
Alexander lined up at the first-team left guard in practices on Wednesday and Thursday, participating in the Redskins' version of "What's My Line?" Todd Wade, Casey Rabach and Stephon Heyer were all hurt in last week's loss to Green Bay, compounding the serious injuries earlier this season to Jon Jansen and Randy Thomas. "Every day we're redoing the offensive line," assistant coach Joe Bugel said. Alexander wasn't a big factor in Fantasy leagues as a reserve defensive lineman and the fact he will split time on the offensive line further squashes his Fantasy value. Ignore him in IDP leagues.
