Any news on Kendricks' calf?

Saw a tweet about him working on the side in a baseball cap or something.
Wasn't very positive.

I was able to snag J Freeman on my wire. He was limited yesterday but hoping he can go this week.

Anybody know what happened to Mike Daniels (GB DE) last week? After 3 decent weeks, he had a goose egg after I picked him up in multiple leagues. Just wondering if he's a relatively safe start this week (I didn't see anything injury-related on him). My other option would be Ngata, most likely.

Yeah, I guess that answers that question. Still curious what happened in Week 3, but it is looking more and more like Daniels is a decent DL3, I would say.
Bortles - Jax: 20 sacks against - Cameron Heyward?
A.Smith - KC: 13 sacks against - Ian Williams, Ray McDonald, maybe Aaron Lynch (LB but drafted as DL, if Suggs is DL,
, still part time but snaps rising)Big Ben - PIT: 11 sacks against - Andre Branch, Sen'Derrick Marks
Stafford - DET: 11 sacks against - who's replacing Kyle Williams if he misses?
Brady - NE: 10 sacks against - Wallace Gilberry
Newton - CAR: 10 sacks against - Willie Young, Ego Ferguson (rookie DT with 2 game sack streak)
Kaepernick - SF: 10 sacks against - Dontari Poe

the problem is opportunity
he's only playing a third of the game, and even is he bumps gooden off the field completely those guys have been losing half the snaps to big nickel

I hope. I added him in another league. Hope they stick with the 4-3 more but I didn't see much of the game Thur

Trying to figure out the Williamson buzz as well. I read that he got first team practice reps this week. But if he is splitting time with Gooden his upside is capped.

i think there were some local beat writers noting that williamson is getting way more reps than gooden. coaches were pleased with him too. why would the coaches become fixed on Gooden as a starter after after two games and possibly getting outplayed in the second one.
But like Kool-Aid Larry said above, his upside will still be capped if he is off the field if they are using a big nickel frequently. Still, he's producing on limited snaps, he's intriguing. Jene and John both suggested it might be a good idea to move on him early and they are usually quick to point out when production is a mirage or if a guy only projects as a two down player.

the other guys were terrible vs the run

Kirksey's numbers are trending upward. Look forward to seeing the snap count. May be the last time to get him cheap.

I didn't see Robertson out there much at all, but Kirskey had a pretty terrible game. Even if he was out there for about 90% of the snaps I'd be wary about starting him next week, could see him losing some snaps again.

According to ESPN, Williamson played almost as many snaps as Woodyard. He also was calling the defense too. Makes me think he's sticking at ILB.

Since it seems like the members on here are really good at finding stats like where people start before the game and snap counts that I'm not able to easily find (I would appreciate some links if it's possible), I'd like to throw out some names of linebackers who did well this week and see what people think: jacquain Williams, David Lansanah, Prince Shembo, James Michael-Johnson, and Avery Williamson.

I heard his name a bunch on Thursday night. I actually thought he would have scored more than what he did, based on how involved he was. It seemed like he was definitely one of the primary guys getting pressure on Ponder.
Granted, in the leagues I added him, my other options aren't great... I'm basically deciding between Ngata, Daniels, and DT's like Hankins. On the other hand, he's outscored a lot of the higher-ranked guys that I own (Wake, Vernon, Houston, etc.), and is only a couple of points behind Campbell (who I will now be without for a few weeks). So, I'm guessing, with more byes coming up, I'll be starting Daniels more often than not, going forward (assuming he doesn't have another dud like Week 4).

Patrick Willis left the game with a toe injury.

It is amazing how many times this guy has came out of games for head injuries after suffering those concussions weeks ago and been allowed to go back in. We'll he goes in dazed and obviously woozy with a head injury and always comes out with a "eye or stinger/burner" and allowed back on the field. Concussion safety fad over?

I'm an Eagles fan, and I probably wouldn't roll the dice with Graham. He doesn't get a lot of snaps, and he is behind a lot of players starting in front of him. His recent usage has increased because Mychal Kendricks has been injured for the past four weeks and Demeco Ryans was nursing an injury last week. Therefore, the Eagles are relying on a group of linebackers to cover for Kendricks (especially) and Ryans. Additionally, dating back to Graham's time at Michigan and in the first couple of years of his career with Andy Reid as coach, the Eagles had a 4-3 defense, and he was primarily a pass rusher. His coverage skills were not utilized much until Chip Kelly became coach and installed a 3-4 defense. Therefore, he's learning a new scheme (which he has been decent at doing). However, Graham was terrible in his first couple of years with Reid as coach, and that entrenched him at the bottom of our roster (and a lot of people in Philly were questioning if he would even make the roster this season. He even labeled himself a bust a couple years back). When Kendricks comes back, he should be playing a lot less snaps, and, in my opinion, be sack-dependent for points. Demeco Ryans, Trent Cole, and Mychal Kendricks are the main linebackers in Philly, and Kendricks will be the best linebacker and has the best value going forward. Graham could be the replacement for Trent Cole because Cole is getting older, but no one's sure exactly when that will happen because Cole is still producing decently.

I'm divided between stashing Jason Durant, who looks to be playing 100% of snaps and scoring consistently, Mason Foster, who put up decent, yet similar numbers in his two starts, Koa Misi, or Justin Tuggle. Any comments/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. .
What are yalls thoughts on these WW guys that should be in for larger roles..
Miles Burris (three down guy now, right?)
Chris Kirksey
Vincent Rey (Lamur should be out again)
Khasheen Greene (All CHi LB are injuries, should be on the field a lot)
Michael Wilhoite (injuries making him a good play this week?)
