CornKobb 48 Posted December 9, 2016 Practiced again today....Friday. What is your confidence level on him. at least its an early game so we will know whether active or not. I think i got to trot him out there in a ppr league over bust ARob. note to everyone Arob will blow up this week. adjust your lineups. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TennisMenace 156 Posted December 9, 2016 Wow, tough question. This guy won me my league last year but his injury concerns me. Plus I have picked up LGreen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Law 220 Posted December 9, 2016 I'm thankful that in the 2 leagues I have him, I have a playoff bye this week - partly earned with his help. I'm more interested in him being healthy and playing next week and week 16. Otherwise I'll be playing Ebron and Ertz. In the non-bye leagues I'm double tapping with Ebron so fingers crossed.

Kent 228 Posted December 9, 2016 Can't play him this week. Don't do it. He's still in agony. He could be out after the first play. Don't do it in round one of the playoffs. He still might not play. Every expert is saying if he playS you have to start him. This is HORRIBLE advice. I do not get it. The guy is hurt and injury prone and playing a good TE Defensive team. And it's the playoffs. I assume one expert would have some sane commentary. Nope. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In the non-bye leagues I'm double tapping with Ebron so fingers crossed. similar boat; we're in our last week of regular season but it's pretty inconsequential for me, so not stressing whether he plays or not. I think the silver lining here for other guys though is, this injury happened during the game 2 weeks ago, and he still came back with the injury in that same game and scored 2 TDs. Thus, he's shown that he can play and be effective with it. I have no idea how it compares today to right after it happened, but I think that's important to remember.

Gepetto 989 Posted December 10, 2016 If he plays then I'm playing him. I will drop VD and pick up Dwayne Allen too, which I want to do right now but will probably hold out until Reed is officially active, if he is that is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gepetto 989 Posted December 10, 2016 Chasing Dwayne Allen??!?!?!!????? Keep Davis and Reed. Back away from the lineup page. I drafted Dwayne Allen originally expecting good things, but I'll take it under consideration, thanks. I have Ebron too in a start two TE league and Ebron's questionable with an ankle so I might have to pick up D Allen anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weepaws 2,469 Posted December 10, 2016 Lol back away from the line up change page. I would also keep Davis and start him over Allen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gepetto 989 Posted December 10, 2016 No offense, but I've been correct the last three times I've stated a lineup or start/sit decision or opinion on a player vs. your opposite and incorrect advice. Dion Lewis being the most recent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gepetto 989 Posted December 10, 2016 I wonder if I should drop Kenneth Dixon (or Ebron) for Dwayne Allen or stay pat. Could keep Dixon for free basically for next year, keep 1 RB. Don't need him this year, as I have Zeke, David Johnson, LeSean McCoy, Ajayi, Carlos Hyde, and Thomas Rawls. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

weepaws 2,469 Posted December 10, 2016 Will that makes you 3-0 then. I'm glad that you made the right choice. I still think you should keep Davis and start him. I would also keep Dixon and would also let Ebron go. Ps no offence taken. It's good to be called out for making the wrong call , thank you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Antiramie 50 Posted December 10, 2016 If he's playing, I'm starting him. It's either him or Kendricks. I'll take Reed at 30% over Kendricks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weepaws 2,469 Posted December 10, 2016 I think Kendricks could have a very good game. . I would easily start him over Reed . From what I've been reading he might play , but I think his ability to stay on the field will be somewhat limited. Ps if I'm wrong please let me know.

I believe I knew this in the back of my pea brain before starting this thread but wanted to ignore it due to my frustration with ARob. So to get your thoughts. Should I deal with Arob in round one of playoffs ppr over Reed? I mean, at least Arob gets some targets. Thanks Kent or any others 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Should I deal with Arob in round one of playoffs ppr over Reed? I mean, at least Arob gets some targets. Thanks Kent or any others If it were me I'd be sitting Reed and playing Arob. Hurns is out. Reed is too risky for my blood. Plus, he's playing outdoors in the cold in Philly, which will be tougher on the joint. He's not in Dallas this week. If it were any other week than round one maybe you could start him. But with everything on the line I have to have healthy guys as much as possible. Good luck.

the newb 23 Posted December 10, 2016 What's your other option?Vernon Davis Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kent 228 Posted December 10, 2016 Vernon DavisI'm starting Davis regardless but I don't have better options. I have Bennett but don't trust him at all. Almost dropped him this week. Cousins and the OC use the TE so much Davis is sustainable regardless if you need him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kwolf68 13 Posted December 10, 2016 Tough call. Remember he played with this exact injury against Dallas, was in great pain, and lit them up. I have Pitta on reserve for him an DP did awesome last week, but Reed is a beast and if he's a go...I'm rolling him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
giraldi02 470 Posted December 10, 2016 If Reed plays, you play him. He's been a TE1 in almost 75% of the games he's played this season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kwolf68 13 Posted December 10, 2016 If Reed plays, you play him. He's been a TE1 in almost 75% of the games he's played this season. My thoughts. It is all about Reed's pain threshold. My thought is he DID IT versus Dallas. So why not now? The skins are in a tight playoff chase, they need all hands on deck and Reed makes that team markedly more scary on offense.

So if you own 2 TEs, Reed and Davis, and the reports at game time are that Reed will play you'd sit Reed to play Davis? Because Im only starting one of them.
