Beanie Wells hurt ? (1 Viewer)

Trigger happy for sure, but as soon as I heard this I hit the phones, trying to get guy off my team before he starts missing time. Happy to say I was successful. Best of luck, Beanie, but ya scare me! :jawdrop:

 
If Beanie Wells were to miss some time Arizona could look at bringing in someone like Clinton Portis. That being said I wouldn't panic just yet because the injury may not be that bad. I would wait and see what happens on Friday before I hit the panic button.

Wanted to be the first to break the news that bad you dont take the time to find the story?Shotty posting, half-hearted at best.He was limited in practice with a "sore" hammy. lol
Wanted to be the first to insult a stranger so bad that you didn't bother to figure out how to spell "shoddy"? You want to play thread police (which is sad, BTW), maybe try not to use big words. Stick to 'lol', you spell that one perfectly.
Again with the spelling, as if it matters to making a point.Posting info without a source is a sin, but way to have your policing in order.
in the time it took you to heckle him, you could have found the link and posted it yourself...that would have been a more constructive use of your time...if that isn't how you roll, than please just let it go next time (especially if you are incapable of doing so in a civil manner... maybe try, can somebody please post a link for confirmation?)...it will quickly be established whether a report has a factual basis or not...in the meantime, until that happens, it isn't like people are going to blow up their rosters based on an internet rumor...negative tone posts just engender more of the same, and cause the thread to degenerate, making it tedious to wade through all the extraneous material... instead of talking about something football related, soon we are talking about how people are talking about it, than we are talking about how people talk about how people talk, ad infinitum/nauseum...no doubt the same could be said about this post, but if it curbs the compulsion to indulge in future posts of this nature, it will have been worth it...if it is difficult to be nice or at least polite (maybe this pushes a button), try and at a minimum be neutral and respectful... you wouldn't want to be addressed in the manner and tone you subjected the poster to... PLEASE post accordingly in the future...

Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt declared after Friday's practice that Beanie Wells (hamstring) will be a "game-time decision" in Week 3.

Whisenhunt isn't know for playing games on the injury report, so the fact that he stopped short of declaring Wells expected to play is a bit unnerving. The Cards won't field any hint of a rushing attack without their bell cow. Perhaps the biggest concern is Wells' history of performing poorly whenever less than 100 percent. The Cardinals and Seahawks square off in a 4:15ET game. We won't know Wells' status for sure until Sunday afternoon.

 
Beanie Wells was limited in Thursday's practice after suffering a hamstring injury.

Disconcerting news with just one practice left this week. Much of Wells' explosiveness was sapped by a knee injury last season, and he's not a player who can be expected to excel at less than 100 percent. If you're an owner, you'd be well served to scoop up Chester Taylor in case Wells can't give it a go on Sunday against the Seahawks. What he does in practice on Friday should go a long way toward determining his status.
not really.
 
So what's the longer term play here? Does anyone have a sense of what Taylor's role will be and how he ranks in the organization compared to Larod Stephens-Howling?

 
If this is serious in any way, there really is no one on the roster worth picking up. Stephens-Howling will not carry the load. Chester Taylor is washed up and has only been with the team a couple weeks. And Alphonso Smith was on the practice squad last year and has never carried in a game. If I HAD to pick up someone, it would probably be Smith, assuming he is healthy. But if you have to pick up one of these guys, you are in a world of hurt.
:shark: move is to pick up chester and deal him to the beanie owner for anything you can get.
You're assuming that some one would be willing to pay more than the player that you dropped to pick him up.
 
My thinking is that with the short offseason and never having a full load on his shoulders, Beanie is just a little worn down. I think he takes it easy this week and gets back to 100%. Hopefully his body will get used to having a full workload each week.

I'm short at RB depth in my dynasty league with only Dwill, Carter, and Redman behind my 2 starters (ADP and Beanie). This may be a start 4 WR or 2 TE week for me. I am considering starting Redman just because of playing the Colts.

Ah, it's only week 3. If he is already worn down then we're all in trouble because that's much worse than the "injury prone" label that's been haunting him since he's been drafted..........ding, ding.

Its weird that Beanie is saying its no big deal at all and the press started saying this after his tweets and now suddenly Whisenhunt comes out with GTD. Somebody is being less than honest. A report on whether he practiced would go a long way. Even if Whisenhunt is normally honest, it is possible this is a ploy for to make Seattle focus on stopping the pass in their gameplanning.. Because there isn't a quality backup option to Beanie.
 
I got this from the My Player news on MFL

(TheHuddle) Arizona Cardinals RB Beanie Wells (hamstring) said after practice Friday, Sept. 23, that he fully expects to be ready for the Week 3 game against the Seattle Seahawks. He felt hamstring tightness in practice Thursday, Sept. 22.Analysis: Look for Beanie to be a game-time decision according to Cards reporter Darren Urban. Fantasy owners should keep an eye on his status, but since it's a late game it might be too risky for some of you to play him (depending on your rules).

panicking people usually do. But yeah he's worthles IMHO.
 
When my only other late afternoon option is Shonn Greene, sticking w/ a dinged-up Beanie is a bit easier. Hoping the dude can at least look solid so I can feel good about starting him every week

sounds like beanie expects to go, but that could change if hammy tightens up before the game?even if he plays, there is risk it tightens up or is aggravated DURING game...edit/add - could be a gamesmanship coaching feint by wiz... but he must have a legit concern with williams done for the season... they really have nobody if beanie goes down for an extended period, making me think they might want to err on the side of caution as to not overusing him... expecially if they can win by emphasizing the pass more for a week, against a team not known for having a stellar secondary (though earl thomas is talented)...

This is my concern, especially since I've lost my first 2 games by narrow margins due to in-game injuries (Keading in week 1 and Romo/Manningham in week 2). Despite the fact that SEA plays tough at home and appears to have a stout run D, this still appears to be a juicy game for Beanie. I look for AZ to go up early and turn to the run in the 2nd half. However, all that goes out the window if Beanie pulls up lame or Wiz decides to pull him early. Unfortunately I don't have alot of other options (DWill/Stew, Lynch, Addai) so I'm rolling with Beanie and crossing my fingers.

Not concerned that AZ goes up big early and Lynch gets marginalized?

Not all that concerned with Seattle at home. Much more concerned about getting a 0 with Beanie.
 
"Cardinals RB Beanie Wells thinks he will play, but he first wants to test his hamstring in pregame warmups."

Per Adam Schefter's Twitter. Not much new info but good to hear Beanie thinks he can go.

 
I'm considering starting Daniel Thomas over Beanie. Is that a sensible move? Should be noted that I'm a decent favorite this week, so taking the "safe" 8-10 points from Thomas sounds OK versus risking a goose egg from Beanie.

Yes I would do that, especially if the rest of your team is stronger than your opponent. Protect the RB2 points.

I have the same dilemma and I am waiting until I hear about Wells.....hopefully it's before 4pm.

Upgrade the passing game.
This. Anybody considering playing Beanie in this game should check out the rushing numbers allowed by the Seahawks in games Red Bryant has played (the whole game) over the last two years. Not pretty. 19-49-0 SF38-65-2 @DEN21-89-0 SD28-88-0 @STL14-61-1 @CHI20-113-1 ARZ (Other injuries were starting to set in here: Cole, Lofa, Mebane the next week with Bryant, Hightower went 6-59-0, Beanie 14-54 with 2 yard score)Then he gets hurt in early in game againt Oakland, they unleash an early precursor to what the rest of the season will hold for SEA.http://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/201010310rai.htm201132-85-1 @SF35-124-2 @PITT207-674-73.25ypc, 29.6 carries per TD.
 
Crap...now I'm worried about him aggravating the hammy in-game, as others are. DWill/McGahee/Addai/Greene are my options. Not pretty at all. Wish Moreno was out today, would roll w/ McGahee again

 
Crap...now I'm worried about him aggravating the hammy in-game, as others are.
Definitely the biggest concern if he goes - one bad plant or tackle, and he may be done for the game.Starting old man Thomas Jones over him - at least maybe he'll get a gimme short yardage TD or two.

Can't take the chance on him. Moved him to the bench in favor of Starks. Felix Jones is too much of a risk as well which is why I'm now going with Starks. Ugggghhhhhhhhh
 
This is a classic FF managing situation because of the 4:15 start time for Wells. Raise your hand if you'd rather start Reggie Bush over Beanie in a non-ppr.

 
Just read this in the pinned Beanie thread:

Nearly 10 minutes ago, James Brown on CBS pre-game reported Beanie is "doubtful".

I'm not watching CBS so I don't know if they've managed to scoop a real story here or are just showing their incompetance.

I didn't read that as an official designation, but their gut feeling that they doubt Beanie's going today. I agree; even if he starts, I wouldn't count on him finishing the game or getting a bulk of the work.I'm rolling with DWill instead.

 
I didn't see the CBS report but given they have an afternoon game I am not sure how he could have gone from Questionable to Doubtful this morning

 
I benched him and hope he sits. These guys all hurry back and reinjure themselves. I.e. Foster. Especially hamstrings. Let it heal..

It is odd, because usually if there is a scoop, other networks would report it, i.e. "according to CBS...". I just threw Addai in just in case I miss something official in the next two hours.

:goodposting:
 
I don't believe Chester Taylor is a good option either.

They said all week he would play, I wish he would have just not said anything but whatever. I didn't start him but to the avg fan or a lot of leagues out there lock rosters when the 1st game starts(non shark leagues) all the info was that he would be active. I bet the physicians that worked on him all week didn't expect him to play.

 
Has anyone seen any quotes with details about why he didn't go? Wondering if it will be a day-to-day thing now or what..
