Alexander to play week 8? (1 Viewer)

[War Eagle]

NFL Network's Adam Schefter reports Shaun Alexander (foot) expects to play at Kansas City in Week 8.

Alexander will need to be medically cleared, so this is far from a sure thing. Maurice Morris hasn't played well in Alexander's place.

As an SA owner, i would rather him sit, and rest till Monday night, at home vs Oakland.

Seahawks press conference starts around 2pm PT. We should know for sure at that time.

What's this "sit and rest" crap? If he's healthy, he should play. KC isn't a super tough matchup. He needs to get back in the groove.

True enough but as another SA owner, I don't have to start him.

I would say if he is 100% and the bone is fully fused and there is no crack and the danger to reinjure it by coming back a week early is not there, then yes play him vs. KC. If there is a shadow of a doubt, the Raiders would be a nice welcome back game for SA to get back on track.

LOL....KC owns NFC opponents @ Arrowhead. Since 1995, they are 20-4 vs. them. Starting SA makes sense if he is ready, but to think KC isn't a "super tough matchup", when you have a backup QB, is not an statement.

I would prefer he get back and warmed up against KC so he can dominate against Oakland.

NEWSFLASH!!!

The Seahawks can't run the ball. Hasselbeck is out 2-4 weeks so the passing game will take a major hit...if you say otherwise you are strictly a Seattle homer, Seneca Wallace is a major downgrade for that offense.

Shaun is easily going to be the bust of the year and even when he returns I expect mediocre numbers form him.. Time is running out on owenrs, we are in week 8 now...you had to take a big hit if you drafted this guy. He has been almost worthless for most of the year. No multiple TD games from him the rest of the way...100 yds will be hard to scrape up.

I do not own Alexander in any leagues but I would not fear going up against him right now.

Defenses will stack the line to stop him and force Wallace to beat them.

Trade now while you still can...

 

[Frenchy Fuqua]

His schedule the rest of the way looks pretty darn good, with only Denver and SD looming as tough match-ups.

@KC, Oak, StL, @SF, GB, @Den, @Ari, SF, SD

I'd still consider him a hold or buy at the right price.

Outside of LJ and LT....Alexander will put up comparable numbers to any other RB once back and healthy.But yes...I did take a big hit by drafting him, but only an idiot would have passed on him with a top 3 draft pick.#### happens, but healthy he's still Alexander....trading him now would be a mistake.

Hold on a sec, let me check the top of the page here ..... yep, still a fantasy football site.KC's won/loss record has nothing to do with whether or not they're yielding ffl points to RBs: they are (KC ranked 11th easiest going into last week and LT's performance against them - SD loss notwithstanding - shouldn't worsen that).I'm not sure what you're getting at with "not an statement", but starting a backup quarterback is all the more reason to get Alexander back into the lineup. It certainly isn't a reason to rest him.

What means this?

I offered the SA owner who was 1-4 Ronnie Brown for SA straight up in a non-keeper league. Brown is the fifth highest PPG for RB’s in our scoring system. The owner is in a crappy division and was only a game out of a playoff spot. I was 5-0 and could afford to wait due to depth at RB. I wanted SA for his playoff schedule.

He declined and is now going to be 1-6 after this week. He said he would go 1-12 before trading away the #1 overall pick. Well I will bet he is probably going to go 1-12 on the year. I hate people that over value players. He would rather start Jamal Lewis and Maurice Jones-Drew then trade away SA. By the time he comes back his season is over.

I gotta say it.....Nobody cares about your league but the guys in your league....

Major disagreement here if you don't understand what Ashcraft's stat means. At home KC plays well, takes the lead, forces the other team to comeback with more passing. With SEA coming to KC without Hasselbeck, SEA will have to take an early lead to take the crowd out of the game and KC is better vs the pass than the run so SEA will have to run the ball. But SEA hasn't run the ball well all year. I would look less at run DEF rank on this one and more on where this game is being played.

My bad. I thought this was the other SA thread on what you are offering/getting for trades on SA. I posted in the wrong thread.

If you think this is going to be an Edge type output for the rest of the year, i think you're mistaken....Seattle has a favourable schedule, and SA has a nose for the endzone...He may not be elite, but really who is elite this year. Trading him would be a mistake imho.

Holmgren just mentioned in his PC that he doesn't think SA will be going this week. That the more likely scenario is that he will be back for the Raider game.

I wouldn't have traded with you either. If your team was 5-0 obviously you were pretty solid, so why should I help you win a championship? Just because his season is over doesn't mean he ahs to help you to a title. Assume he had a miracle and made the playoffs with R.Brown, would he be able to beat your team with the addition of SA?

As an SA owner, I hope Holmgren doesn't bring him back until week 9.... I've gone this long w/out SA, but I don't care to see him back for one game & re-injure that foot if the medical staff isn't confident he's healed & ready to go...
