Wires closed for the year. Have Flacco as my backup. Had Locker but cut him this week for a 2nd kicker

Didn't move premium backup Stafford for just this nightmare scenario so I'll be rolling with him. If not him, I'd check to see if Kapernick is available (he was dropped last week in one of my leagues) as he plays Pats.
Weeden vs Skins D probably most realistic option.

Sorry - this is a mess. The first part shows who the QBs play and the rank of the Defenses they face (giving up pts to QBs - higher is the lousier D's). The other is the the available QBs in my league (cut and paste from MFL)
Going with match-ups (and ignoring Tannehill), it looks like Wilson vs. BUF Wk 15 and Bradford Wk 16 vs. TB in my league at least. Chances are good I will get scooped on at least one of these guys to block me.

vs KC's 9th ranked pass D? I think there's better options.I personally am gonna ride Tannehill next week if no RG3. Haven't seen enough from Cousins to want to start him.

Just look around dude. The MRI info has been out for awhile, reported by official team sources all over other the place.I don't see anywhere in that article that mentions they did an MRI yet.

MRI is done, results are not. As far as I know anyway. No major ligament damage is early word, will probably get more detailed report sometime between Monday morning and after practice Wednesday.

I was actually questioning the comment "knee sprain per MRI". After looking at the article, the comment should have said knee sprain per the Redskins. I've seen many cases where an injury doesn't look to be that bad but after an MRI it turns out to be a torn ACL. I won't sleep good until I see something that officially says "knee sprain per MRI".Right. But the guy was questioning that the MRI even happened yet.MRI is done, results are not.

ben's actually my alt qb, but I don't like the dal match up.you have to wait 'til later in the week, but even if rg3 plays I think we lose the ground game, which is kind of his whole appeal.I think it just comes down to your alternatives.I actually have dalton in another league, so I'd have to seriously consider that.

It's not an ACL. Whether it's something that could be a problem the rest of the year or he's back Sunday depends on the PCL, UCL, MCL, etc. Based on the vagueness of the Redskins report I would be surprised if they disclose in greater detail and if RG3 is any more than a limited participant all week in practice.Classic case of prepare for the worst, hope for the best. If you don't have a plan B, waiver claim one, just so you don't have to worry about it later in the week. You're probably not going to know if RG3 is out there and in what capacity until Friday, maybe before the plane takes off Saturday, unless it really is fine and he practices in full.I was actually questioning the comment "knee sprain per MRI".

Team1 - Backup Cam Newton. Will roll with Cam next week.
Team2 - Backup Matt Ryan. Doesn't matter, lost my playoff game, at least partially on account of RG3s lame day.
Team3 - Backup Russell Wilson. Meh. Ben is on the wire, but I doubt I get to him, last in priority. Gonna rely on prayer and ADP.

The league I have rg3 in, I also have Morris and garçon. So im likely screwed.

Waiver wire is really thin in my two leagues. Had RG3 as my only viable QB option in both (and he was a big part of me making the playoffs in both).
I'm probably going to hedge my bets and go with Cousins in one league (ugh, at least the matchup is OK -- CLE) and Tannehill in the other (vs JAC, a decent matchup). Next option is Weeden (great matchup vs WAS by the numbers, but I'm afraid the Redskins D is going to pick it up since they're still in the hunt).
Could change my mind a dozen times between now and then.

Cutler. Best available on waivers is Weeden. So I'll be praying as well.

Well, i looked more closely at the WW:
big Ben
Weeden
Foles
Brady Quinn
those are the starters out there.
Big Ben will be my first pick, but my guess is that someone notices my plight and since i'm 4th on the waiver wire, they'll block it.
So that leaves me with Flacco (my backup), RG3 if he plays, cousins, or Weeden.
Weeden gets to go against that horrible Wash D... he, gasp, might be my choice over Flacco

my league does team QB, which saved my season - in essence, I got RGIII and Cousin's points yesterday. We set it up like this for exactly this type of deal - QB is such a major points scorer that if your QB goes down mid-game, you are screwed. In a 10 man league, back-up QB's are never drafted anyways, so it really doesn't impact anything else.
Anyways, I have WAS QB (cousin/RGIII) and SEA QB (Russel) rostered. best on the WW are PHI QB (Foles), CHI QB (Cutler), oak QB (Palmer), and BUF QB (Fitzpatrick).
not digging any of these teams remaining playoff match-ups.

Will play Romo if RGIII will be limited in any way if he plays. Can't risk him not finishing the game. My other worry is how this impacts Garcon? Have him in another league.

Only have Cousins or Kolb :X (16 team league, no QBs to come by) so Cousins it is. Hopefully Morris will keep Cleveland's D honest and Cousins can benefit from play-action.

In my main redraft, I drafted RGIII essentially as my "back-up" to Eli. I thought I was not doing anything out of the ordinary based on the information (ADP etc) at the time. I am surprised at the number of people who literally rolled the dice w/o a relative boring option as the other QB. Was the other QB traded or never drafted or injured? Just curious.
Bronx Bomber
Footballguy
Traded Big Ben for Charles straight up. 16 team IDP league w/player contracts and needed a RB. Hard to aqcuire any kind of talent in that deep of a league. Tried trading for another QB but with player contracts and IDP league people wanted arm and a leg. Thought my team was a young, rebuild type so just rolled with RGIII, wound up 2nd best in league but couldn't make any reasonable trades for a backup. Coming back to haunt me now.

I traded Rivers as part of a package to get A.Hernandez before he came back from injury. The other owner had nothing in the QB cupboard, and my TEs stunk.

drafted PHI QB (Vick) ahead of WAS QB (RGIII), as this is a team QB league. Started WAS QB nearly every week since week 2. Never bothered trying to upgrade from PHI QB, whom I held out hope that he would recover. Finally dumped PHI QB last week for SEA QB (Russell Wilson)Looking through league transactions, here's a complete history of QB transactions:Sep 19: SF QBSep 25: CIN QBSep 26: SF QB droppedOct 10: SF QBOct 30: oak QBDec 6: SEA QB (my pick, last week finally upgrading over philly)really, the only meaningful time I could have upgraded QB was the Oct 10th timeframe where I didn't get SF QB. At that time, I was more concerned with the TE position - dealing with Jimmy Graham's bye-week and Aaron Hernandez's ankle injury - I was pretty pissed that I drafted both Graham and Hernandez, but still had to find a WW to fill the TE position. Back-up QB was not anywhere on my radar. That, and this was the first week that Alex Smith had actually put up bug numbers, so I passed.

Rolling with Kaepernick whether he plays next week or not. Hope he comes back Wk 16 though.

if i sneak into the playoffs i have kaepernick and freeman as my backup, think i might go with freeman @ New Orleans if rgIII cant go.

League 1 - I drafted him to start maybe even QBBC with Alex Smith. Was unable to obtain Kaepernick due to WW priority. Russell Wilson is what I am stuck with now, but Ben is out there if I get lucky enough to grab him.League 2 - Backup to Matt Ryan.League 3 - Backup to Cam.

Been carrying Luck all year to back him up but wk15 is 1pm et start @cle for RG3. Still might roll the dice with him depending on news this week.

I hope RGIII is okay. From my experience, this injury leaves your knee weak. I think at best we see him in a brace which limits his mobility and arm strength. Best guess is he sits a week and you get better production out of your backup.
GL to everyone.

I have Wilson as a backup in one league and Kaepernick in another. My plan is to go with these two and hope for good games to make it the the final and hope RG3 is good to go and if not then I'll go with someone else like a Foles if I pick him up this week for a week 16 game vs Washington.

Available in my league are:
STL Bradford, WAS Cousins, PHI Foles, JAX Henne, TEN Locker, MIA Tannehill, CLE Weeden, and SEA Wilson.
I'm leaning toward Henne as a long term solution. His last 3 opponents are all in the bottom 8 in passing yards allowed.
Week 15 at Miami (251 y/g, 1.2 td/g allowed)
Week 16 vs New England (280 y/g, 1.8 td/g)
Week 17 at Tennessee (251 y/g, 1.9 td/g)
His toughest game is Miami but I think he'll have some incentive after they let him go last year.
For a one week option Russell Wilson (at Buf) and Brandon Weeden (vs Was) are possibilities.

Luck's not a bad backup to have! He's mine in one league--and I ended up with RG3 in both.
