Doubtful. I like him as a deep bench dynasty stash, but not seeing a big role. Maybe low-end flex appeal, but I’d wait at least a week to see if Reid uses him or not. Agree with @CentralPA that it’s Hardman & Kelce with the bump.
And on the same note, you have to believe the Raiders aren’t going to let Sammy Watkins ball out for 198/3 against them.
yeah....fantasy owners world wide are going to be chasing Sammy's numbers this week and for the next few....I for one like Sammy better when he isn't being looked at as the biggest threat....I think most Watkins owners will be a little disappointed moving forward as we probably witnessed Sammy kind of fluke/circumstance his way to what will probably be his best game of the year....
Well, it’s not awesome, but again - double coverage solves a lot of problems.
If its the minimum of 4 weeks out - then he misses weeks: 2, 3, 4 and 5, and returns in week 6, and still has a bye in week 12.
It would be insane to drop a game-changing player before your fantasy playoffs.
Absolutely. I was a little shocked by that.
3 man bench is crazy though. There's probably some incredible players on the waivers already that you'd be shocked by. I would never think of dropping him but with a 3 man bench it might not be that bad. You're going to use 33% of your bench on your QB's bye week just to keep him on your squad.
Yeah, that’s a good point.
It pretty much just makes all the teams equally as good and hurts skilled owners. Can you imagine having Ertz, Fournette, Sony, and Edelman on your roster and being forced to drop one of them in week 10?
Mind bogglingly awful. And worse, having to drop a Tyreek Hill because of a short-term injury, then seeing an opponent pick them up to face you when he’s healthy again.
I would venture to guess that not a single trade happens in a league like this one.
Right? No point
Not to mention the guy with Hill doesn’t have the extra roster space to even consider a two-for-one offer...
Its an old family league, and lets just say change does not come easily... (I'd rather deal with a bunch of strangers on the internet).
lol - didn’t mean to rip on your league specifically - just the format.
Yeah, I didn’t mean to rip the league either. I’m in a 23+ year league at work. It took 22 years to convert to 1/2ppr. We still don’t require starting a TE (have 3 generic "receiver" slots), tried to add a "flex" position to give teams the option of going 2RB/3Rec or 1RB/4Rec, but that change never gets enough support. So I get it totally
My two "old" leagues have pretty crazy scoring, and I love them. Non-ppr also, which I prefer. I like lower scoring leaguesjoey said:Yeah, I didn’t mean to rip the league either.

but, dang, it’s still my favorite, very competitive league of work friends I practically grew up with at this point.
As for your league...jeez, keep both Green and Hill til bye weeks hit you, then drop Green if reports on Hill returning closer to 4 weeks start sounding legit. 2cents...
Oddly enough after the draft I had 4 players with a Week 12 Bye (Hill, Butker, Ekeler, and Justin Jackson). Knowing the type of roster turnover in the league, I was not worried. But, the answer is it always a balancing act - its a 12-team league and it takes about 8 wins to get to the play-offs, so you weigh the chance/need for a win in a given week, against the need to have the best team in weeks 14-16. Sometimes you are willing to take a blank if it means you have a better chance to win it all.
Ya that's wild. I'd keep boyd even with aj back but that's just me. Wish so many week 12 byes you're probably safe to stash hill for a while and not run into many bye week situations before week 12 where you have to drop someone.
I watched a video of Hardman’s touchdown that got called back in his thread. Tyreek was in a sling but going nuts on the sideline waving his arms around and running up the sideline.
He scored 47 points in my two handed locker room basketball dribbling league.
I will take any news, let alone news like this that he's active and using that arm in motion, as phenomenal.
Agreed. Dribbling a light basketball and taking a hit to your shoulder are 2 very different things.
I'm jonesing for good news like everyone else, but I can't think after that kind of injury, we won't see Hill for a few more weeks yet.
A month isn’t really “rushing”, but I think week 5 is more optimistic.
I mean, it can’t really be better than “no sling, dribbling a basketball in the locker room”, right?
It can't? How about he's actually handling pain, running light drills, etc.I mean, it can’t really be better than “no sling, dribbling a basketball in the locker room”, right?
what really excited me is the emergence of Demarcus Robinson. Not only because I got him super cheap in Dynasty I’m the preseason, but also because that’s one more weapon to open up the field. Between Watkins, Robinson & Mecole I can’’t imagine how defenses will possibly cover Hill in 3 & 4 WR sets.
Gonna be
I heard an unsupported rumor that he was seen dwarf tossing at a vegas strip club, high AF & wearing nothing but black socks & a dickie. Reportedly he was tossing them with both arms, so.....
He’s the kind of player who’s going to do more with 4-5 receptions than most WRs do with 10.
Slight Hijack:
They signed him to a $54M 3 year extension.
