Any chance for another IDP Roundtable early this week? (1 Viewer)

[PhantomJB]

Many FF drafts to be held early this upcoming week. Last year I got burned drafting Hawthorne as my stud only to find in week one he had a surprise knee injury (no one's fault but mine but just sayin' this week is crucial for gathering info).

Tons of LB questions, for example.

Who's the better IND LB to own with Angerer out? (Conner v. Freeman)

Dansby out Game 3 (undisclosed injury)

DQ Jackson hardly played at all in the preseason (sore shoulder)(ongoing injury risk?)

Who's better in TB (L. David or M. Foster?)

Who's better in CAR (Beason or Kuechly)?

Preseason risers / fallers?

Updated tiers?

I know there's a lot on FBG's plate but love the Roundtable/All-Request format and would be great to see one if not already planned that kind of puts a wrap on things soon following week 3 of preseason games.

TIA

I would be happy with Jene giving his best guess on these questions.

I would add I think Freeman is the guy to own while Angerer is out, he was all over the field Saturday and had a couple nice blitzes, one where he really drilled RG3. CBS still isn't showing his stat line, but I would guess he had about 4-6 tackles and a couple assists in a half of football.

Edited to add NFL.com has Freeman with 3 solo's 3 Assists

The Carolina situation has me confused as well.

We'll be recording a show this Wednesday night as usual. I'll try to remind myself to post an All-Request thread tomorrow.

Many of the questions above (e.g. Jackson injury, valued and overvalued, etc) were covered in the first two shows this preseason. And, John and I are updating our tier series this week.

Very much appreciate the interest and all our listeners. We could do a daily show and still not cover everything that might be worth discussing.

You guys do a great job on the podcast for sure. I don't listen to many podcast's but yours I try to catch every week. My favorite on FBG's. Keep up the fantastic work.

Twice a day sounds good to me.

This comes across a little sarcastic and so I'm going to elaborate a little on the Hawthorne situation last year that has prompted me to make the request for whatever updated info FBG can provide in the next few days. by Associated Press

RENTON, Wash. -- The Seattle Seahawks will go into their third preseason game likely without starting middle linebacker David Hawthorne

Then, on August 31st, (end of the week of most FF drafts)here was is an excerpt from the FBG linebacker tier article:

Elite LB1

Patrick Willis

Lawrence Timmons

David Hawthorne

I couldn't have agreed more with identifying Hawthorne as a potential stud and was able to employ the brilliant Dr. Bramel stock-up-on-OFF-depth-then-wait-and-grab-undervalued-IDP strategy.

Problem was that Hawthorne put up a goose egg week 1 and underperformed most of the rest of the year which resulted in cascading roster issues.

Was that FBG's fault that I drafted a guy who had injury red flags? Of course not. But the injury did occur late in preseason, was obviously more than a minor ding, and somehow we all seemed to have missed it along the way.

That's all I'm after. Not asking for either a daily show or a 2x daily show. Just best efforts to identify the impact of late-breaking news/performances/injuries (e.g. Dansby being held out last week due to "undisclosed" injury may or may not be a red flag, Freeman outplaying Conner stats-wise in the third preseason game may or may not influence their relative rankings.) or whatever may occur in the important time between now and when most FF drafts are held.

I realize stuff will always fall through the cracks and that the IDP coverage and customer service is second to none. No worries. Whatever can be done will be greatly appreciated and whatever can't will be understood.

Thanks again in advance.
