I'd like to clarify that by "injury risk", I mean the potential to miss a significant amount of games (>3-4 games in my opinion) that could jeopardize your fantasy season. Missing 1-2 games is insignificant to me, but if you feel otherwise, feel free to post and vote how you see fit. I think we might see some interesting results.

Please only vote if you HAVE NOT owned Westbrook in either of the last 2 years.

If you HAVE owned him, vote here: http://forums.footballguys.com/forum/index...

You can null vote to see results in thread that doesn't apply to you.

I voted "No" because I view every RB as an injury risk due to the rigors of the position. My No vote basically means I don't view Westbrook as significantly more of an injury risk than a typical back who is used as often as he is. His injury history is a concern, but a small one, and it will move him few, if any, spots down my redraft rankings.

I don't see Westy as much of an injury risk over and above anyone else - but I do somewhat fear him this year because of age (in dynasty). I'll let someone else use a first rounder on him.

Redraft, I'll take him in a heartbeat.

Not anymore. He's only missed 2 games out of the last 32 possible games.

I wouldn't sweat the ever-present "game-time decision" when it comes to B-West; the guy's a gamer.

If you have the 3rd or 4th pick in your draft and he's on the board, you take B-West over Steven Jackson and Joe Addai, period, end of story.

I think he's getting towards the end of the line and he's already injured, not good.
