LaFell not practicing... WTF?

[DrMantisToboggan 5]

Any Patriot homers wanna shed some light on this?

 

Of course Bellicheck won't say why... the dude hates fantasy football. Surprised he doesn't carry 2 kickers so even Gostkowski is unstartable.

[Patriotsfatboy1 1,432]

He was not at practice and his gear was not touched, which usually means that he was not at the stadium. Probably not hurt, but he could have had a family issue to deal with.

[IGotWorms 3,315]

Pretty weird coming out of a bye.

 

Either he didn't something stupid like showing up late or he had some non-football issue, IMO

[murf74 461]

I would cut him

[shorepatrol 1,737]

I would cut him

Like Emo cut him?

Ebola

[Phil Simms 11 127]

Hoping it's non-injury related and he plays. Looking to trade him soon.

[jpcdds 21]

He has strep throat.... They told him to stay away from the facility...

[Giants Fan 85]

Sounds like BS.

[stonewall 647]

May cost him this week....but better than an injury or team discipline

[GobbleDog 816]

Almost hope he's officially out. 1) Don't know what to expect from him yet and he'll probably screw me. 2) F**** the Patriots.

[Giants Fan 85]

Same here. If he plays but is "limited" I will probably start him over Colston this week.

 

It's Belichicanagans. It might mean that LaFell is 100 percent healthy and a huge part of the gameplan this week.

[IGotWorms 3,315]

They are going to need him. Got a brutal stretch of games coming up here. Really starting last week w/ Denver.

[stonewall 647]

Is he their WR1 for ROS.....or is that even a possibility with The Hoody?

Gronk first, then the WRs. So, LaFell is like the 2 receiver, pretty much. Everyone else sucks. Dobson, Amendola, Thompkins, all on the outs, or out.

 

Oh yeah, and Eddleman, who I have never been sold on, but has put up good numbers this year in PPR.

I was thinking of Edelman

[NEWPOSTERGUY! 267]

- will probably draw top coverage knob Vontae Davis this week ... temper expectations

[Filthy Fernadez 2,696]

He's got optical rectumitis so his outlook is sh!tty.

Seriously? So it's not Belichicitis?

[Squintz82 45]

Heard on local Boston sports radio that he missed practice due to strep throat.

[rotisserieking 34]

4 things are guaranteed:

 

1. Bellidouche will list him as doubtful.

2. I will not start him.

3. He will have 8-10 catches and 2 TDs.

4. I will be

[Patriotsfatboy1 1,432]

Lafell back at practice today. They probably threw him on anti-biotics for the 24 hours that it takes to make him not contagious. Tuesday practices don't mean that much for playing on Sunday with the Pats.

[GobbleDog 816]

Interesting, Roto doesn't even mention missed practice. Just "emerging as the Pats' No. 1 outside receiver in Week 3. LaFell is an every-week WR3 trending toward WR2 status."

 

Hear, hear!

[dain11279 928]

I'm starting him this week for the first time this year. I've had him on my dynasty team for 3 years and he's maddingly inconsistent. But getting 24 targets the last 2 weeks tells me he's being worked into the offense more and more.

 

I can't have him sitting on the anymore.

[IGotWorms 3,315]

As long as he doesn't start dropping critical passes, he is going to be a big part of this offense going forward. Do watch out for the drops though - they were popping up against Denver but it did not end up mattering in that game
