S. Alexander: Could he be out all Yr?

[RedzoneMonster 108]

And even if he isn’t, will he really be all that effective once he returns? M. Morris, who granted no SA, has been terrible behind that O-Line and SA didn’t look all that hot before he left as well.

 

I’m thinking of offering SA and L. Evans for M.J.Drew and Holt - to a guy who is stacked at WR and desperate for RB’s.

[DandyRandy 0]

It don't look good.I'm 5-3 and can't waste no more time.Just today traded S.Alexander/R.Moss for Clinton Portis/A.Boldin.Like i said. It's go time.

[EagleGreen 0]

He didn't look so hot b/c he had a broken foot.

 

I have SA and may trade him for Tiki.

Just got offered W. Parker and A. Johnson for SA and Housh...not sure what to do.

Jesus christ, am i the only one that is offering the world for SA. AJ and Housh cancel each other out, so it comes down to Willie Vs SA...I wish u were in my league, cuz i have offerd Dunn, Addai, Carr and Wiggins for SA.

DONT DO IT. Ok, if u really wanna do it, just check the schedual for seattle rest of the year, and more importantly the playoffs.

Take the deal.Shaun won't be back for 2 more weeks or even more.I think it's worse than expected.

Personally, I have enough quality starters so quantity really doesn't matter to me. Therefore, Parker is much more valuable than Addai and Dunn...he's got twice as many TDs as those two combined. I'm not sure why anyone would want Carr and we don't play TEs. Not trying to cut on your deal but Parker alone is worth more to me than the package you mentioned. I'm also endanger at 4-4 of missing the playoffs so if he misses another 2 weeks his easy schedule doesn't help me out much.

 

Personally, I'm beginning to feel more and more like this is something more than they're saying. Holmgren sneakes something into his press conference every week about how he's out another week but should be back next week. Is a crack really going to heal that much in 7 days when someone is running on it. Just doesn't make sense to me. If I had any confidence that he was going to play in week 10 I wouldn't do it...but I have serious doubts.

[mobb_deep 920]

It's times like this I wish I was in a redraft. If I was I would of traded SA 3 or 4 weeks ago. He's my #1 keeper and I still don't see any RB aside from LJ/LT having more keeper value so I'm going to stick with him. I guess the only RB's I'd even consider in a keeper league for SA are Portis and SJax. Even then I'd want an upgrade at another position to dump SA.

 

On a positive note I guess this helps SA in the long run. As far as madden curses (and RB injuries) go a broken foot is better then a torn ACL/MCL. Having half this season off couldn't be a bad thing for an RB who had the heaviest workload of his career last year.

[Mack 1 6]

If the reports are accurate that the x-ray and MRI reveal the crack remains in his foot, why on earth are they saying he won't play this week but could possibly return next week? If the crack is still there, what's another 7 days gonna do?

 

Strange, strange story. Here's my interpretation of the situation: saying the crack remains in the bone is simply gamesmanship. He's ready to go; they just don't want him to play on a Monday night because it's a short week the following week.

 

I know, I'm reaching for straws, but at least with Julius Jones and Gore, my RB situation isn't as dire as some who took SA with a top 3 pick. One thing's for sure: Maurice Morris is probably the most useless POS back-up RB in the league.

Interesting theory.. i hope you're right.

 

I agree with the above poster about SA being more than Portis for a keeper for the simple reason of NFC East versus West. Seattle also has a slammin' home field advantage and a QB who gives 'em scoring opportunities. There's no telling what Portis would do if he were on Seattle,, May not batter in for as many short ones, but his yardage totals would be unbelieveable. To bad for him he doesn't have Shannyrat and the zone blockin'/leg whippin' Denver line anymore.

[J5 0]

I am sitting on SA in a 12 teamer as well and am currently 4-4 but don't know how much longer I can wait for him. I have Parker, R. Johnson, and both Bells. I think I may look to move SA for Peyton in one trade or try and get a package deal. I would love for the guy to come back but this is getting a little worrisome.

Actually i owned Parker last year, picked him off the ww. As for his value, hmmm i think i would ONLY offer Dunn for him. No additional players, just Dunn. As for fantasy points, u might wanna check those out before u make statements like i would trade dunn and addai for parker. Parker has 564 yrds rushing, Dunn has 637 yards rushing(both have had their byes).Lets just go to the fantasy points, which matters in the end anyways. Dunn 90 points, Parker 103 points. So the diff is 13 points and u want Addai on top.

Would love what u smoking bro.

[CookieG 4]

I may look to move SA for Peyton in one trade

 

Your other RBs are pretty good man.. if you can get Manning for S.A. and your QB, i'd prob do it unless he was studly.

[J5 0]

I have Kinta and Romo at qb. So it would be SA and Kitna for Manning.

interesting thought.

 

I was thinking something similar. but my logic was this:

 

With Hasselbeck out, SA will be keyed on and will make more runs and take more hits than normal. if there is any risk of re-injury, this is not the situation to throw him in.

Without Matt H, they opposing teams will put 10 in the box vs SA and that means high risk of injury. Thats why i think they are not rushing him back, till Matt H returns

Disagree, With 10 in the box even if SA is used mostly as a decoy/blocker, Seneca would have a chance at a good performance. I don't understand why they are not trying to help him out

[natomasb 0]

I think I am at the same point as a lot of others. If I continue to hold out for SA, I may not make the playoffs. I am 5-3 with a couple of lucky wins. Unfortunately, everybody in the league knows the situation I am in. So, the only offers are from vultures looking to pick my bones.

 

The thing what bothers me most is the lack of accurate information. I am not sure what the truth is but I am sure that Holgrum is not giving us the real story. Hard to make a good decision, when you are operating in the dark.

[Keyser Sose 0]

I traded for SA 3 weeks ago based on reports he'd be back EARLIER than expected.

[mambokings 0]

It's possible he could miss the remainder of the season, especially if it appears that Seattle is out of contention, but I think it's a near certainty he'll be back on the field. The question, in my mind, is how effective he can be and how much he'll be expected to do. Even if they gave his foot weeks more to heal, throwing him back on the field for the FF playoffs, what do you really think is the upside of such a situation? He wouldn't be 100%, he'd be rusty, and the Seahawks likely will be out of playoff contention. I think it's safe to write him off for the year as a viable RB, and certainly as a FF savior, but then again...stranger things have been known to happen. I just wouldn't put any money on it.

[CookieG 4]

J5, i know we shouldn't go Little Help crazy here, but quickly, i'd prob do it dude.. with a backfield of Willie, Rudi & (god help you choosing) one of the DEN RBs (but with this turf toe thing MB looks good for a few weeks).. i'd ditch the uncertainty of SA and one of your QBs for Manning.. If your WRs are decent, you'd have a good shot at some playoff success. Indy's D clearly has probs. Addai looks to score a bit, but overall, the king of commercials (and props to him, he's good in them)... will at least be steady for 2-3 scores and 300 yards per game and he'll have a few 4 td games thrown in there -- there's a reason he was at least in a lot of the top 7-10 ADP spots. Bottom line, he would give you that explosive game needed to throttle a few teams for easy wins.. Can you really nab him for SA and Kitna or Romo?

Pretty much my thinking. Although I think it'll end up helping him next year and he'll be a draft day bargain.

[Mephisto 15]

I just wouldn't put any money on it.

 

Those of us in pay leagues put our "money on it" before the season started.

 

Anyhoo... I just traded Chris Perry to the Rudi Johnson owner in exchange for Maurice Morris. It's tough to live on Maroney and Turner as my #2 back each week... so here's hoping he's gotten the craptasticism out of his system and can do something meaningful against Oakland on MNF.

 

What a total sh!t game that is going to be for an MNFr.

Um, as an owner with none of the above mentioned players, Andre is better than Housh, although Housh is no slouch himself. Willie Parker is a top 10 back. I'm not sure he's getting a good deal, but the proposal isn't too bad.

 

Dunn, Addai, Carr, and Wiggins for Alexander is a joke. Depending on his depth, Dunn might be his #2 and Addai might be a good #3. If he has a good team, it's even worse. Carr is useless unless he's in a two-team league, and Wiggins is a waiver-wire player.

[ggroovy17 0]

I think Holmgren knows they can beat Oakland without Alexander and is wanting to save him for the super important division game against the Rams. He'll be back for that game......the Seahawks are known to hold their players back longer than other teams do when it comes to injuries.

The SA owner in my league was apparently seriously concerned this could be true. I just traded him Thomas Jones and Chad Johnson for Alexander. Not too shabby having him as my #3 back behind LT and FWP

Did he at least give you a kiss after he screwed you?

I am sick of Alexander! I traded him tonight with Driver for Tiki & Bryant. My Wr's are Holt, Andre, Berrian & Santana Moss, so Driver is not needed that much. My feelings are as follows. He is screwed for 2006. Sorry SA owners, these are the facts. The guy did nothing in his first two games before he got injured against the G-Men. The O-line sucks & a rusty older RB coming off of 4 consecutive monsted seasons in which he was the only ball carrier for the team has taken it's toll. Move him while you can boys....

Did it ever occur to you that different leagues have different scoring systems? Our league gives 1 pt for every 20 yards rushing or receiving and 6 pts for a TD. With our scoring method, Parker has 70 points for the season compared to Dunn's 45. Thats a significant difference. My other RBs are Portis and F. Taylor so I don't have a need for a mediocre RB like Addai. Offering multiple average players for 1 good player is a move you can only pull on rookies because it doesn't make sense for the guy giving up the one player.

 

Thoughts bro?

[gobuckeyes 0]

I don't see how I got screwed in this deal at all. It looks like a lot of other people are paying much higher prices for SA. Dance Fever Jones was sitting on my bench and is going to stay there despite having a good game against a SF D that was by far the best matchup for a fantasy running back. They were giving +75% of the league average in FF points to RBs last week. Johnson is a good WR, but with Housh, Henry and Perry all on the his team, Palmer would have to average 300yrds/3tds for the rest of the year to make CJ's value anywhere close to his stud value, and with the Bengals O-line there is absolutely no way that will happen. I have Fitz and Jennings coming back hopefully in the next week or two, and I am 7-1 and basicly a lock for the playoffs. I gambled away maybe 1-2 points per week at WR and possibly a win this week, which I could care less about, for a surefire championship provided Alexander comes back healthy. I'm pretty sure the only reason that the guy made the move is because while he is pretty much out of the playoff picture, he has a side pot with a couple friends in the league for who does the best this year and he has a good shot at winning that if he gets a few more wins down the stretch.

[EagleGreen 0]

Alexander got hurt in the first game, not against the G-Men. The game against the Giants just confirmed that he needed to rest.
