He's top 3 talent.is Wells still the probable starter in 2011? Seems like its taking forever for this kid to break out.

I thought the headline said "Beanie with an allergic reaction to his knee". Then I nodded my head sadly.

Beanie Wells = overrated even when healthy

What do you mean? The article above even says "Backup RB Tim Hightower would get the carries in his absence. LaRod Stephens-Howling is iffy for this game with a rib injury."Hightower put up nice stats the first two weeks of this year, and produced last year as well. IF Beanie is limited, Hightower is a fine substitute aside from fumbling problems.
If you're talking top 3 rb talent on Arizona's team then I agree.He's top 3 talent.is Wells still the probable starter in 2011? Seems like its taking forever for this kid to break out.

Yes he was decent down the stretch. I'm hoping he can have similar success the rest of this yeat.

I am not optimistic. He's not healthy and not running with the same force he did last year. Also, Arizona has no legit QB to open up the run game.

Any news on this pansy?
I would trade him for a kicker if someone would take him. If I find someone to pick up I will drop him so fast. Always hurt. and when he has played he stank. Maybe this week he gets 4 carries if he plays.
Beanie Wells - RB - Cardinals
Beanie Wells said his knee is feeling better than it was last week.
After being limited in practice all week last week, Beanie sat out Wednesday's practice altogether, which made it appear he'd had a setback. He insists that he hasn't and added that he doesn't think he needs to practice Thursday in order to play more Sunday than he did last week, when he had just one carry. We suspect coach Ken Whisenhunt might feel differently.

Hightower is one of many former FF starters that can be found on the waiver wire this late in the season. I picked him up over guys like Ricky Williams, Felix Jones, and Jonathan Stewart mainly because I also picked up the Cardinals DST. Their patsy schedule lines up for potential good RB numbers going forward on a team that is still in the hunt for the division. I don't think Beanie's knee will get better, so if Hightower can get out of the doghouse and claim the job for himself, he might be a nice roster stash going forward. JMO.
That's the exact thing you, everbody, and their momma said regarding McFadden. Don't get it twisted, Beanie will be known as Beastly Wells. The Cards need to stop B.Sing and simply rest the man to full health. I'd like to hear your sentiments 5 or 6 games after that.'Nation........
It depends on what round you selected him in. Several "experts" had him going in the 3rd round. His knee injury scared-off My WCOFF Main Event League (66). I got S-Jax in the 2nd, Mendy in the 3rd, Beanie in the 6th, and Barber in the 7th. So I didn't reach for Beanie, he fell to me. I just canned Barber last week (healthy & worthless). Some will ask, "So is Beanie really worth warming your bench this long?" And I'll say, "All he needs to do is be ready by weeks 12 and 13 (my fantasy playoffs)." Provided I defeat my opponents in those two weeks, I get the 55 hundred first prize. He will have been well worth the 6th pick then. Maybe he can even help me get the 300K from weeks 13 - 16. Who knows?I just know when he is at full health he is a beast. Maybe he will be by week 12; only then will I start him.'Nation..........
I am in agreement. Beanie is a waste right now. Again I would trade him if I could BUT if hes healthy ( and thats a big if) by week 14 you could have a major beast running back who has no wear on him having barley played . Again a big if. but we have seen it happen . guy gets healthy and is a force the second half. Not holding my breath and I would drop him for a half way decent back BUT if you got room for a few weeks hes worht a bench spot I guess.
Beanie didnt play last week ( 1 carry) and didnt practice last week. Didnt practice this week. Probally not play ( even if active) this week. Hes actually being rested by the team. will be 3 weeks of rest if he plays next week. Might do him some good.

Was offered Wells straight up for CJ Spiller in a dynasty league.... I think I might as well hang onto Spiller for a while LOL.
The only optomistic thing I will add is that Arizona has lost all its RB's now and only Hightower remains. If the 2 weeks off can get beanies knee better he can be "productive" for the rest of the season. Hightower has been not great . And I like Hightower but he hasnt been really good.(last 2 games he has run 13-39 in both games) If and thats a big "IF" beanie can get over the knee inflamation which we need to rememeber is from a allergic reaction and not a new knee injury. HE can be "productive". Ofourse I am being optomistic .(If I was being realistic I would dump him now) Happens all the time when guys are injured and a few weeks later they are productive. I wouldnt trade for Beanie and I wouldnt keep him over a nice waiver wire pickup but if you got room might be a decent hold as a #4 RB incase he is productive soon. Hey if you got crapppy backup Rb's hes worth a small gamble i guess.
Updating a previous item, Beanie Wells said he will "definitely" practice this week, according to the Arizona Republic.
Our View: We'll believe it when we see it but at least Wells sounds optimistic so maybe that's something. Check back throughout the week for further updates on the oft-injured running back's status for Week 11.
Darren Urban of AZCardinals.com predicts that Beanie Wells (knee) "should" be back for Week 11 against Kansas City.
At his Monday press conference, coach Ken Whisenhunt characterized Wells' Week 10 inactivity as a "let-him-get-over-the-hump thing." Wells won't be a recommended fantasy play until he shows in game action that he's 100 percent, but Tim Hightower has done nothing to run with the feature back job. Hightower is averaging under 3.0 yards per carry dating back to Week 7.

But wasn't it an allergic reaction to lubrication being injected to help an injury?

Beanie Wells - RB - Cardinals
Beanie Wells (knee) said he plans to practice fully this week and play in Week 11.
Wells has been dealing with swelling in his surgically-repaired right knee. Coach Ken Whisenhunt decided to make Wells inactive this past week as a means to give him extra rest in order to be ready for Week 11. It would be a risk to insert Wells right back into your lineup, as a setback is possible and a full complement of snaps isn't guaranteed.

Just an update. If he was dropped he might be a speculative pickup if he really is healthy ( Believe it when we see it)
Beanie Wells was limited at practice on Wednesday for the Arizona Cardinals but doesn't see himself being limited on Sunday.
Wells first hurt his knee in the pre-season finale against Washington, forcing him to miss the first two weeks of the season. He had surgery on the knee.
After getting a shot of lubricant in the knee, Wells had an allergic reaction that reduced his practice time and thus reduced his playing time. Wells carried the ball once at Minnesota and was inactive last week against Seattle.
The time off has rested Wells and he now thinks he feels as well as he has all season.
"This is probably the best it's felt all year," Wells said when asked how the knee is feeling. "Since training camp, definitely."
Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt will be happy to get Wells back after LaRod Stephens-Howling and Jason Wright were both injured in Sunday's loss to the Seattle Seahawks.
Stephens-Howling and Wright did not practice Wednesday. Stephens-Howling has a left hamstring injury that he hopes will allow him to play Sunday. Wright suffered a concussion vs. Seattle and has yet to pass his neurological exam.
Wells is just trying to get back into the routine of being out on the field for a full week.
"Beanie looked good," Whisenhunt said. "He has to get his legs back under him again from not having really practiced hard or just practicing one day a couple of days here and there but that's just part of the process."

Do they shoot WD-40 into joints now? I could use some in my lower back.
This was supposed to be Beanie Wells' breakout season. Breakdown is more like it. A knee injury in the final preseason contest has caused him to miss three games and have just one carry (for minus-2 yards) in another. Wells said Wednesday that he's healthy for the first time since he was hurt and ready to finally show what he can do, and do consistently. The big running back was listed as limited in practice but said he went through a full workout and expects to play Week 11 at Kansas City. "I want to go out there and be productive for this football team," he said. "You want to go out there and be the spark that gets us to a victory." Critics who have questioned Wells' durability "can say what they want to say," he said. "The injury that I had there was nothing I could do to avoid it."
Analysis: The Cardinals first called the injury a sprain but finally, after reporters noticed the incision marks, acknowledged that Wells had undergone arthroscopic surgery, causing him to miss the first two games. Then on Nov. 8, he had an allergic reaction to an injection intended to lubricate his still-bothersome knee. That limited him to one carry at Minnesota, then he sat out Sunday's 36-18 loss to Seattle. "I haven't been fully healthy all year since the surgery," he said. "Even after the surgery it was a little shaky. Now it feels great." Wells has rushed for 231 yards in 70 carries, an average of just 3.3 per attempt. But if he is finally healthy like he say he is, then maybe Wells will be a more effective runner. All signs point to him being ready for Week 11, barring setback

I really hope this guy can get it together down the stretch. I drafted him in the third thinking he was going to break out like many, but at this point if he can be a serviceable flex I will be thrilled. I really hope the comments about feeling as good as he has all season. But that makes me wonder, if this is the best he has felt (and obviously still not 100%), why did he play earlier? Hightower seemed productive enough not to try and rush him back. Comon Beanie!
