He get concussed in practice??
Strapped his chin-strap too tight.He get concussed in practice??
Money league - I would say no, just really bad luck.Quick question guys:
I literally just traded him away 3 hours ago to the person who I happened to be playing THIS week. Do I reverse the trade? I feel terrible.
With that avatar, you must be from Detroit.Gruden says TE Jordan Reed missed practice today after developing concussion like symptoms. Would be his 5th.

Friends/office - YES
Oh well, those are the breaks. Luck is on your side today.money league with friends

Mock him publicly and without mercy. Act like you got an inside tip. Warn everyone else in the league that they are next.money league with friends
I prefer Niles Paul over VD but for fantasy purposes I will avoid both and roll with Ertz or PittaVD or Niles Paul?
I traded Adrian Peterson for Leveon Bell 4 days before the SNF game where Peterson got hurt. I felt somewhat guilty. (FWIW- the trade was in a competitive money league that I commish and was made with a very good friend who actually got me into FF in college). But all sales are final in FF and everybody is taking on assumed risk at the time of the deal. Anything can happen at any time. Reed could be cleared in a relatively short time and whoever you traded for could get hurt in 2 weeks. Its football and its FF.Quick question guys:

As long as you did NOT know about the concussion, the trade should standQuick question guys:

No I didn't know about it. Anyway my friend laughed it off and said it wasn't a big deal.As long as you did NOT know about the concussion, the trade should stand
(given it is a friends league you have to judge how your trading partner will feel about this in the long run and let that guide you)
Doh!!This would be his..6th recorded concussion? Oof.
Davis. Paul mostly only plays in 3 TE sets or sometimes lines up at FB. Paul only has one reception (and I think one target) this season.So... I'm kinda desperate for a TE. Any homer insights about whether Davis or Paul would be a viable streamer? Best on the wire is Richard Rogers, so... yeah. It's bad.
I agree with this.Davis. Paul mostly only plays in 3 TE sets or sometimes lines up at FB. Paul only has one reception (and I think one target) this season.
I disagree. I think Davis keeps his role and Paul steps right in to Reed's like he has in past concussions.Davis. Paul mostly only plays in 3 TE sets or sometimes lines up at FB. Paul only has one reception (and I think one target) this season.
Davis is playing more snaps and getting more targets. Would make sense that he would be taking over, rather than Paul leapfrogging Davis.Davis. Paul mostly only plays in 3 TE sets or sometimes lines up at FB. Paul only has one reception (and I think one target) this season.
I see it more like when a feature RB goes down the 3rd down RB doesn't always take over as feature. There is another guy that backs him up.Davis is playing more snaps and getting more targets. Would make sense that he would be taking over, rather than Paul leapfrogging Davis.
There is the fact that VD can block his ### off compared to Paul, which means keeping him in the role he's in might make sense. Tough call.Davis is playing more snaps and getting more targets. Would make sense that he would be taking over, rather than Paul leapfrogging Davis.
So a 3rd down, change of pace back is compared to the TE position how?I see it more like when a feature RB goes down the 3rd down RB doesn't always take over as feature. There is another guy that backs him up.
I didn't think the analogy was that complicated. Like in Carolina with CAP inactive when stewart is healthy while Fozzy always has a role.So a 3rd down, change of pace back is compared to the TE position how?
i was thinking Crowder may be the biggest beneficiary out of this. Bums me out though, and i feel for the guy. hopefully it is nothing big and they are just being precautiousPierre Garcon is actually the guy who will see increased targets over the middle
Well the principle would be that receiving TE and blocking TE are two distinct roles, just as feature RB and COP RB are two distinct roles.So a 3rd down, change of pace back is compared to the TE position how?
4's a pretty small sample size and they've played against mostly middle of the road TE'sAccording to this the Eagles have been the worst match up against TE over 4 games.
Richard Rodgers is the 4th most targeted player for the Packers thus far and Jared Cook should not be available for this game, which makes Rodgers a more appealing option I think.
No argument with you about that. It is what it is.4's a pretty small sample size and they've played against mostly middle of the road TE's
Tend to agree it may be a blessing, but I have to choose between Ertz and Pitta (just picked him off the waiver wire this week after being dropped Sun. morning)In one league I'm starting to think J. Reed being out could be a blessing in disguise. Reed's matchup this week is downright horrible against PHI. C. Fleener was sitting their in FA and CAR in the dome is a much better matchup.
Grabbed Z. Miller in another league, but JAX is tough against TEs as well.
With RGIII at QB. Most felt RGIII would kill Barnidge's value (there was even a thread discussing that).No argument with you about that. It is what it is.
FWIW
Ebron didn't play against them so the other TE they have faced are Barnidge, Zach Miller, Jesse James. In PPR leagues all 3 of these TE are 13th or better though.
Barnidge after being blanked by them week 1 has had 4, 5. 7. 5 receptions since then.
James had his worst game of the season so far against them.
Miller who is TE 4 so far in PPR scoring had his second worst game against them with 4 receptions 33 yards.
It is a difficult analogy when it makes no sense. Other than substituing names in for the CAR RB situation you haven't provided any explanation as to why Paul would leapfrog Davis.I didn't think the analogy was that complicated. Like in Carolina with CAP inactive when stewart is healthy while Fozzy always has a role.
In this case, Paul would be CAP and VD would be Fozzy.
But if Davis is primarily there to be a blocking TE why is he running so many routes?Well the principle would be that receiving TE and blocking TE are two distinct roles, just as feature RB and COP RB are two distinct roles.
A receiving TE getting hurt doesn't automatically make a blocking TE into a receiving TE.
No one knows what will happen but the idea is pretty simple - that Davis might keep his current role (including all the routes he is currently running) and Paul will take on the Reed role. Its certainly plausible if Davis is the best blocking TE on the team that he will be selected for that role when a play needs a TE to block allowing Paul to run routes (and not asking him to block if he isn't as good as Davis). Now, i dont know if any of that is true, and nobody is asking you to agree - but the concept is pretty straight forward.But if Davis is primarily there to be a blocking TE why is he running so many routes?
I was responding to your question, " a 3rd down, change of pace back is compared to the TE position how?"But if Davis is primarily there to be a blocking TE why is he running so many routes?
It's not the SAT analogies here... @davearm explained it a different way. I'm not sure what else to say. When Reed missed 4 games near the start of 2014, Paul came in the lineup and posted 18 catches for 233 yards over those games, and that includes a 1-6 game against the Seahawks, who at the time were even more ridiculous on defense than they are now.It is a difficult analogy when it makes no sense. Other than substituing names in for the CAR RB situation you haven't provided any explanation as to why Paul would leapfrog Davis.
I prefer not to get into arguments here, but you're basing this off nothing more than a guess.Steeler said:No one knows what will happen but the idea is pretty simple - that Davis might keep his current role (including all the routes he is currently running) and Paul will take on the Reed role.

And the team didn't have Davis. And the offense isn't what it is now. So comparing 2014 to now with a different offense, different talent and different personnel doesn't really mean much.JFS171 said:It's not the SAT analogies here... @davearm explained it a different way.

Look I don't know how to explain to you that a blocking TE and a receiving TE are different positions. So I've tried giving numerous examples, as have others, and you don't seem to get it... or you're purposefully being obtuse.And the team didn't have Davis. And the offense isn't what it is now.

I have a hard time buying this "blocking TE" role that people believe is true. He has nearly 6000 career receiving yards, hit 850 yards 3 times and scored 13 TDs in a season 2 times. But he's a blocking TE now?Look I don't know how to explain to you that a blocking TE and a receiving TE are different positions.

Either way, I've given up. You win.
You'd done a fine job, not sure why the comprehension is lacking.Look I don't know how to explain to you that a blocking TE and a receiving TE are different positions. So I've tried giving numerous examples, as have others, and you don't seem to get it... or you're purposefully being obtuse.

Amazing what these forums have come to.You'd done a fine job, not sure why the comprehension is lacking.
