Nate Ravitz on the ESPN podcast had a great line earlier this year: "I'm comfortable with Roddy having his first big game of the year on my bench." That's exactly how I feel about him this week. Although it's also worth pointing out that the next two weeks, he's facing Sherman and Revis. So even if he's healthy, it may be a little while before we see the old Roddy.
Agreed. I'd much rather him sit out this week (hell, until week 12 would be fine by me) to get to 100%, then I can use him as my WR3.
Yep. In 16T, I have to start Drew or Roddy.
If he feels he's close, I don't mind him playing this week. He's basically had 3 weeks to rest. Definitely going to wait and see what he does 1st before I feel confident starting him. But I think it's a good sign that he's going to give it a go this weekend.
Davis will occupy Julio Jones spot but maybe only on 3 WR sets (which should be every down since they can't run the ball). He's the 3rd WR now for the remainder of the year. so he should get Harry Douglass numbers at best. Whoever is covering him will be the worst DB on the field.
If I didn't have Keenan Allen, I'd consider it. Althought in the other league I have him, my WR options are ABrown, Allen, Amendola. I could throw Roddy in the flex spot. But it's a tough call.
Snake bitten owners who started him earlier this year might disagree with you, but your point about finally getting rest (for the ankle via the hammy) is a very good one.
You guys want to sit out all season. He needs to play sometime, if for nothing else to get in shape again.
Tough one. I guess it depends on Graham's health.
If Roddy is out ..I was thinking of picking him up to start instead of Streater or VBrown due to the number of snaps ...he is against Carolina D (who I own) but they will be passing alot
Right now Im leaning Stills for the big payoff potential.
Where did I say I want him to sit out all season? And how does what I want have anything to do with what the Falcons will do?
I guess in the coming weeks, we'll find out who bought low on Roddy as the thread weeds itself out.
id swing for the fences with stills. He's got more boom than Roddy probably and if he lays an eggs, well Roddy might lay an egg too.
FIrst off, look at his stat lines weeks 1-5. Just because he's starting/playing (Even getting 9 targets in week 4) doesn't mean he's productive. He has shown in the past, that he will play as an injured decoy. I think people need to see that the 32 year old is healthy.
thanks for the opinions on this. rolling with stills. hoping to see good things from roddy though. I am cautiously optimistic with him this week, good luck to all those who start him....
You keep saying this but if he goes off in weeks 14-16 his season will be meaningful to me.
Oh...I'm ecstatic. I'd be happy if he played a damn game, and showed he was healthy. I don't see myself starting him until then.
YAY!
And yet he's still not playing... Hamstrings and ankle injuries tend to linger. He's not going to be they guy he was coming off of 2 injuries and barely playing until at least week 10. Rest doesn't guarantee he will be healthy.
And pickup who? If he's been on my roster this long, there's no cutting him. I'm being realistic, something that his owners have a problem because they drafted him high. Truth hurts sometimes.
But then stop the gloom and doom - you obviously think he has some value going forward - if not you cut him.
It really isThis is so dumb.
I believe he has more value than anyone on the waiver wire. Correct
