Yeah, he's a tough hold or drop decision at the moment if you have a short bench (like I do).

I’m thinking of dropping him for Darwin.
5 bench spots start to hurt as injuries pile up. Also own Tyreek and McCoy.

dropped him earlier this week for Kirk. short benches and needed a WR this week. Will definitely try to pick him up in a week or two.

I'm not sure Gallup is as high as his value was preinjury. Zeke is now eased back in, and we see Dak is human. I expect Gallup to be as streaky as Cooper.
If I owned (and I do) I would look to sell (and I am)

I think part of the reason Dak has looked pedestrian again is that he doesn’t have all his horses. Getting Gallup back should spur him back to his former glory.

I still have my 2 bucks to win on him.
I think the cowboys offense is severely missing this guy and the new OC (Moore) just isn't going to make the offense all about Zeke.
If the preseason hype is real, this guy should do pretty good against against weaker corners.

The Saints have a very good defense. Witten doesn’t fumble, the Zeke fumble is called like it had been since the inception of replay and Tyron isn’t injured, giving the boys 10 more seconds and the Cowboys win. Crowd noise in that place is also a factor.
Cowboys list fair and square, but let’s settle down on the hyperbole. Even the great Tom Brady looks human from time to time.
Dak and the Cowboys will be fine.
Gallop is still gonna be a STUD.

Still hoping he'll be my mane WR down the stretch.

Curious too. I'm always kinda iffy about starting someone coming off an injury. Seems odd after not long ago reading a report about there being swelling and that he was still a few weeks away.

He goes right back in my lineup. Having had 4 meniscus tears and surgeries I can speak from experience it’s all about the swelling and strength loss. If he practicing again and been cleared to play that’s good on both accounts. I roll with him with normal confidence.

meniscus "trim" lol. man... talk about spin.
that's actually a pretty big deal long term, depending

When a procedure has a timetable of 2 or 3 weeks, you can rest pretty easy as far as long-term concerns.
At least that's been my experience with a similar surgery on my own knee, observations from working with athletes, as well as in a clinical setting related to my job.

I work with athletes and orthopedic injuries as well, hense the Dr. in the name. With all due respect, a personal trainer does not have the education to make the claims you have made above.
The issue with a meniscectomy depends on the size of the meniscus removed. Small tears are usually able to be played through and fixed in the offseason. The fact that he had to miss time immediately tells me it was big enough to cause swelling and pain and needed to be fixed. Possibly a bucket handle tear. When you remove the meniscus you essentially are removing a layer of cartilage that protects the articular cartilage of the knee. This fast tracks knees toward OA and other issues, such as more meniscus tears or ligamentous strains, as the surrounding tissue is strained more.
I'm glad to hear your own knee surgery went well, but as you stated above you are not an NFL WR. So your experience is very different to Gallup. I have treated current and past NFL, Olympian, semi pro, college athletes. I know what I'm talking about here.
I wouldnt worry about his knee within the next few years, depending on the size of the tear, but long term I have concerns. I do own him, and I will probably try to flip him for a pick when I can.

I'm not a personal trainer.
I simply have what I feel is a well-formed opinion based on experience at several levels (essentially, the thought that very short timetables have good outcomes the vast majority of the time).

Recent studies show patients with a partial mensicectomy have a 7x increase risk for OA
ETA: He probably does really well for a few years but I wouldnt be surprised to see him start having more injuries at some point.
Even this season. I'd bet he has a groin or hamstring issue at some point.

I'm sure I don't have to point out the discrepancies in studies revolving around whatever subject is being studied, especially in the medical field.
If you read between the lines, I'm not claiming this is nothing to worry about. A surgery of any kind is worse than no surgery.
What I'm saying is the very short timetable equates to good odds of it being a benign long-term issue, which to me, is common sense (even if I didn't have experience with it on several levels). This was NOT a serious injury.
Could ANY procedure end up being a long-term problem? Sure, I'll give you that.

nice one! made me laughThings you “trim:” toenails, hedges, nose hair, meniscuses.
How serious can it be, really?
Todem
Footballguy
I know exactly what it is. I know what it can potentially lead to.
But is has nothing to do with his MCL. That is what I responded to. Sloppy reporting.

In all fairness my Dr on my last 3 knee surgeries called one of my meniscus surgeries a “trim”. He is very well regarded and was the Chargers Dr/Surgeon for a long time, so I’ve heard it elsewhere.

I know why it's called a trim, and it's so it sounds better and most people dont understand a mensicectomy. but they understand trim and it sounds safer. you made my point for me

good to see he is back in the saddle.
Sounds like he is champing at the bit to get back in there.
unfortunately, the packers d will likely rein him in.
ahh, you know what they say: nobody parties like a jockey!

To me, as long as he is healthy, I see him as WR2 upside and certainly WR3/flexworthy.
as much as I hate it, it seems like kellen Moore’s approach is definitely solid and unlocking things in this offense, so I trust it much more.
schedule looks pretty nice through week 9 (jets, phi, giants).
10 through 14 or 15 are kind of rough though: vikes, lions, Pats, Bills, Bears, rams
probably will need to wait and see how the playcalling and target mix is going. Maybe he benefits from cooper taking more attention in those matchups?

This dude. Becoming a must-start.
