Still chase at 2 spot in full ppr

[Lamb of God 15]

Is it time to start thinking of moving chase down the longer burrow is out or if he also misses week 1 and on???  I have the 2nd pick in a full ppr redraft.

Tough situation, I’m glad I still have a couple of weeks for my first of my two drafts take place.  I haven’t seen any updates about Burrow, what are they saying about a target time of a return?

Last I saw/heard on the Sirius fantasy channel was he’s still a “few” weeks away. My draft isn’t until Aug 31 so hopefully they’ll be some clarity by then. I haven’t seen any of the rankings move home down just yet.

Yea I’m glad I’m not drafting today, or real soon.

I’m still taking him w or w/out Burrow

So if Burrow misses the season? Not saying he will, but you said even without Burrow. Current ADP

Burrow will be ready week 1. And even if he isn’t, Jamar will get his

So without Burrow you would  still draft Chase at is current ADP?

No, I mean based on current reality if Burrow misses a game or a few to start the season.

Had no idea Burrow's injury could jeopardize games.  A "strained calf" didn't sound too bad, but I guess there's degrees of strains.

[weepaws 3,151]

Degrees of strain, plus playing football.  In a few weeks I’m sure his issue will become more clear.

I think Chase is still worth picking so long as burrow doesnt miss more than 2 or 3 games.

beyond that point, the risk is higher and the expected point production is lower now for 1/4 of the regular season for fantasy.   This now affects which seed you are  in the playoffs and can theoretically affect whether some teams make the playoffs at all.

missing only 1 game,  draft as usual.   but more than that you wanna move him down the board a bit.   There are probably 2 or 3 WR's  currently below him on my list that I'd move ahead of ChaseI if hes without Burrow for more than 2 games.   for me that would move him from early round 1 to mid-late round 1.

if it looks like Burrow is missing more than 4 games, Chase likely is no longer a first round pick for me.

I would agree, three/four games I would move him down a bit.
