Breakout game for him after solid production last week filling in for Ruud. Did Ruud reinjure himself in this game? Is McCarthy a starter even with Ruud back in the middle?
NFL injury report has him not practicing and questionable any other word on his status.But he is a stash for next year, provided that his tackles are closer to the line of scrimmage than Ruuds have been
He's going to start via one of the beat writers on Twitter.. Ruud was ruled out today. If I see the link again, I'll post it.NFL injury report has him not practicing and questionable any other word on his status.But he is a stash for next year, provided that his tackles are closer to the line of scrimmage than Ruuds have been
Thanks, that seam's to be the general feel from what I've heard.Another source said he returned to practice today.He's going to start via one of the beat writers on Twitter..

This link says Ruud did not practice yesterday (11/30) and is questionable for Week 13.I'm wondering more about weeks 14-16. McCarthy is putting up stats and could be a great play if he stays in.What's the word for Week 13?
The only problem is (if I remember correctly), he has pretty bad playoff matchups, including the mighty Colts!This link says Ruud did not practice yesterday (11/30) and is questionable for Week 13.I'm wondering more about weeks 14-16.

S-T-U-DHe'll put up points against the Colts. Kid has a motor that just keeps going on every play.Another big day for McCarthy. 8 solos, 2 fum. rec. and 1 pass def
Wasn't so much that Bishop came on late... I remember last season I picked him up in Week 5? Right after Barnett's injury. He was a LB2+ from that point forward. I'd guess McCarthy is in the same boat, so far though these last three games he's put up better games than Bishop ever did last season. The only game I'd guess was the game last year where Bishop had a pick 6 on a MNF vs the Vikes (if I recall correctly). McCarthy looks like one of those IDP pickups that could be one of the reasons you get a title. Even with bad(ish) matchups at NO, Indy and Jax in the playoffs. Not really counting NO as I'll have a bye next week but Indy and Jax to my knowledge are some of the worst matchups in the league.He looked great. Not to turn this question into an AC thread, but where do you rank him heading into the offseason? Do you think he's an LB1 type guy in Dynasty leagues? The comparison above to Bishop seems appropriate to this as well, Bishop really came on at the end of the year last year and has been great all season, I personally think McCarthy is in that same boat.
If any solid info came out that Ruud is done and/or McCarthy is in for the rest of the year, I wouldn't think twice about it. I know his matchups are very bad over the next few weeks. But, anyone that has had a chance to see him play, not just his box-scores, would probably agree with me. He is all over the field making plays and coming close to making other big plays that don't show up in the box-score. I think he is a must start at this point. I have been starting him over Urlacher, Butler, Timmons, and Hawthorne the last couple of weeks and will not pull him out unless things change over there.Is he worth dropping Dansby for? Burnett seems to have really come on the past handful of games.
Thanks for the response. I will make sure to watch the Titans practice reports closely.If any solid info came out that Ruud is done and/or McCarthy is in for the rest of the year, I wouldn't think twice about it.

It's definitely on the less favorable side.The Indy offense is...I saw the same thing regarding Indy, is it just they are so bad on offense they dont run a high number of plays per game, thus limiting tackle numbers?
Definitely some risk with McCarthy, but the Jags had run off four straight games with over 50 tackle opportunities before last week's well below average effort and rank third in the league with over 30 rush attempts per game.Rolling with McCarthy this week based on the high FBG ranking. I'm a bit nervous about it, though. He's not a playmaker and relies a lot on straight-forward tackle opportunity. I fear the JAX offense may be three-and-out all game.
I came in here w/ the same question. Good/thoughtful reply here.

He got his ankle rolled up.Anyone see what his injury was? Said questionable to return
Was just about to type this.And he's back out :(
see the in-season blurbgasm thread!ETA: left the game in boot, but says he's fineany word on him???
Guess he changed, huh?Guy was a bum at UM, always around the ball but never actually making the tackle.
