If you have an adequate backup I wouldn't even consider starting him considering who he plays. I know you're asking about the cheat sheet, but I'd consider it irrelevant, taking into account that's he hurt and playing Baltimore.

I guess I want an All-Pro accounted for. He should at least be ahead of my Falcons fullback Mughelli

sorry. FBG injury report. LT quoted he will play and injury not like the last 2
from what I know of the injury, it wont linger like the high ankle sprain he had earlier, but a sprained ankle still requires a good solid week or two to recover (provided he has adequate rest)I think they rest him & start Sproles for next week so he can come back at close to 100% in week 3.
that being said, LT made one decent run in the 2nd half and still made a cut or two, so maybe it's a minor sprain.

An an LT owner, I hope he sits out this weekend and heals completely. It's a long season - no need for the Chargers (or my fantasy team) to chance a re-aggravation of the injury or perhaps even a different injury if LT tries to compensate for his injured ankle. SD is going to have to beat BAL through the air anyway - might as well let Sproles take the reins in this one.
That's what I'm hoping for as well and this is in a league were the regular season is only 11 weeks long and I'm already 0-1 so every game is magnified. I don't want the injury to linger or get worse, the matchup sucks and the OL is hurting. I'd actually be very disappointed if he plays this week.
Tomlinson, Hardwick, and Vasquez all missed practice again on Thursday. Tomlinson is still in a protective boot.
Players aren't designated as probable/questionable/doubtful/out until the Friday injury report, but Tomlinson will probably be listed as questionable and will probably be a game-time decision. If that's how it goes, I think he'll likely play -- but who knows how much?
The Chargers will activate Michael Bennett whether or not Tomlinson plays. If Tomlinson can't play, Sproles would likely get the start, but would probably split the load with Bennett.

Do you see Bennett taking LT's carries, and Sproled staying the same? Or will Sproles take a much larger role?

Tea leave reading time...
LT goes out for warm ups...
LT just can't go...
LT holds a presser saying how classy he is and what a warrior he is and that he is the best RB ever...
LT sheds a few tears after the Chargers get rolled on, throws a hissy fit on the way to the locker room...
Everyone knows this is how it's gonna go, the truth is he scared of playing the Ravens and looking even more washed up than he is, this way Sproles looks like garbage and LT can keep pretending he is the second coming... I'm sure LT will be able to go against the Dolphins in Week 3 and then pull up lame just in time for the Steelers.

Smells like chicken
LOLCan you defined "get rolled" Id like a bet there
It seems to be very minor sprain and I can't see him sitting this game out. I see LT playing and getting 60% of carries. LT and Sproles are going to do nothing b/c of who they play. I say stay away from both this week. Brutal matchup, and to make it worse they will split carries. yikesbicycle_seat_sniffer said:
It actually looked really bad if you go back and watch the play when it happened. After watching it again, I'm really surprised he played well afterwards.But it didn't seem to bother him much for a while -- then it got worse later. And he's been in a boot since then. So I don't know, there are signals pointing in opposite directions.But he says he's not overly worried about it, so I agree with you that he'll probably play. That's the side I'd bet on with even odds.
Sproles would have a larger role than normal. I think he'd probably split with Bennett somewhat evenly.Texican said:
