Breaking- Kelvin Benjamin carted off the field with non-contact injury (1 Viewer)

I don't think anyone ever 'roots for an injury' or is happy, on a personal level, that a fellow human being has suffered an injury. But everyone of you is lying if you draft a backup on the hunch that he'd produce big dividends, and then say you're not glad when an injury puts your guy into the starting lineup. This is fantasy football. We pick bench players hoping they get a chance to produce.

It's not equivalent to walking down the street and hoping some guy gets hit by a car or breaks his leg by stepping into a storm drain. I guess you could say it's a little dickish to actually type out that you're excited to see him go down, but I don't think anyone is evil and wishing pain on another person. Just trying to do well in their fantasy leagues.

An example: There's not one single owner of Kniles Davis who isn't hoping that Jamal Charles either gets hurt or quits the team. Not a one. Unless you also own Charles. It's why you drafted him.
Well, I own both Benji and Funchess and am feeling damn sick right about now

 
I would like to report in painstaking detail about how this injury affects my fantasy team.

Don't worry, I wont bore you with all my leagues and will limit my analysis to my big money and dynasty leagues only.

If this post is directed to me, move on. I know nobody cares about my teams. Point is, there is no joy whether you own Benji, Funchess or neither.

 
Most of us are also NFL fans. As a Panthers fan who was looking forward to a great season where we finally came into the season relatively healthy, this sucks. This is a division that is wide open for the taking, if we play well, we will win it. KB was a big part of that. I don't have him on a single fantasy team and this just sucks.

 
For you guys that HAVE to know as soon as possible, why? What type of league are you in that it matters if you know now versus later tonight?
Lots of MFL10s. Took KB in one about 3 hours ago (pre-draft list) and he's on the top of the board in another.

 
How would Funchess handle the lead role?
He is a more athletic KB. So, in theory, he can do exactly what KB did. The only issue is KB had a ton of garbage time points. Will the Panthers be in so many positions late in games just to chuck the ball around this year?
Do their combine numbers agree with this assertion?
Yes, Devin had a better vert by 6 inches and better broad jump by 3 inches. Funchess put up 4 more reps on the bench. Funchess was faster on the 3 cone drill. Kelvin was faster in the 40 and short shuttle by 0.09 seconds.
Benjamin caught as many TD's in one year as Funchess did in his entire college career.
Uhh...Benjamin played with future #1 pick Winston and Funchess played with future RB/WR's at QB. So...

 
A lot of armchair doctors in this thread.
Maybe so. But any of us are not going out on a limb in saying he most likely done for the season and has a severe knee injury.

We have seen this 100's of times. Non contact, going down like your shot and grabbing at the knee....pretty clear it is a serious injury. And it sucks. I never wish injury on any player.

But hey...I am no doctor.....if I am wrong..I am wrong. Whatever.

We just lost Delmas our starting FS again....ACL.

His career is over.

Injuries suck.

 
Rooting for injuries makes them more likely to occur, and cheering after they happen makes them hurt more, and take longer to heal. Fact.

Then the Panthers have nothing to worry about! :thumbup:

I think junior is just speaking plainly and honestly. He's right. Every knile Davis owner in America has him with the hope that Charles can NOT play at some point. It's the reason why when Arian Foster got hurt, 3 or 4 threads were born from the seed of people talking about how they had or will get Polk, Blue, etc. people don't own Alfred Blue without checking every whisper of the name ArianFoster hoping for an opportunity.

If you own both KB and Funchess and are sick, sorry it's not the same thing. You're sick because you're anxious because your proven guy got hurt and you now have to rely on your unproven guy...and, oh by the way, your depth just took a huge hit.

I really don't understand why people can't just speak plainly. People aren't evil for hoping my guy tears a hammy or punches his mother in law. It's just a matter of being competitive in the aspect they made a bet when they fostered Alfred blue and want to see it pan out. It might make them a little immoral but I'm not judging.

It's hypocrisy when the self righteous come in here and shake their finger at those wanting a certain player to get an opportunity because of injury, when secretly they wish the same thing for their dynasty prospects. It's just that most are smart enough to curb their enthusiasm. Sometimes it's better to be humble in these situation, but don't sit there and spew all that crap about karma and how wrong it is to talk about injuries in a way that benefits your fantasy team, when in fact you're no different than most fantasy players with regards to this topic.

Even though I quoted Shutout, my post wasn't aimed at him directly, but was speaking in general terms mostly.

Open waivers to go pick up a guy that now has more opportunity like Philly Brown

Drafting now and QB decision impacted by Cam's projection (which just took a hit)

Drafting now, either rookie or combined, and any member of the CAR WR/TE corp is still on the board/in ADP range

In trade talks to acquire a CAR offensive player

In trade talks to ship out (in particular but not limited to) Olsen or Funchess

That enough, or need more?

I think there's a thing called tact that seems to be missing from speaking plainly and openly in regards to an injury to a player improving the chances of a player you might own who is behind him on the depth chart. There's no real need to be like...... "YES!!!!!! BENJAMIN'S HURT AND I GOT HIS BACKUP!!!" WHAT LUCK!!!!!"

 
Benjamin out for year with knee injury
SPARTANBURG, S.C. – Further evaluation in Charlotte revealed that Kelvin Benjamin’s knee injury is severe. An MRI confirmed that the Panthers’ top wide receiver tore his left anterior cruciate ligament and he will miss the entire 2015 season.

Benjamin suffered the non-contact injury during one-on-one drills Wednesday.

"Obviously, we feel awful for Kelvin," general manager Dave Gettleman said. "He’s worked tremendously hard to put himself in a positon to have a strong year. We’re confident he will attack his surgery and rehab with the same determination he has met all challenges before."

Benjamin was one of the top performers throughout training camp, and he was poised to build on an impressive rookie season in which he set team rookie records for receptions (73), yards (1,008) and touchdowns (9). Now, Carolina’s competitive wide receiver group must cope with the massive loss of its leader.

"He’s a heck of a player," Cotchery said. "But the team has done a great job of creating competition in the room. This is one of those instances where that will benefit you."

Kelvin Benjamin Tears ACL, Will Miss 2015 Season Bill Voth

August 19th, 2015August 19, NewsLeave a CommentCarolina Panthers receiver Kelvin Benjamin will miss the entire 2015 season after he suffered a torn ACL during Wednesday’s training camp practice in Spartanburg.

About an hour into the first of two joint practices with the Miami Dolphins, Benjamin crumpled to the turf after planting awkwardly in a one-on-one drill against safety Reshad Jones. The non-contact injury to their top receiver is a crushing blow to the Panthers just 25 days before the start of the regular season.

“Obviously, we feel awful for Kelvin,” general manager Dave Gettleman said in a statement. “He’s worked tremendously hard to put himself in a positon to have a strong year. We’re confident he will attack his surgery and rehab with the same determination he has met all challenges before.”

Benjamin, who crushed Carolina rookie receiving records, immediately clutched his knee when he went down. Quarterback Cam Newton then helped load him onto a cart. With his head down and tears in his eyes, Benjamin was then driven off the field past Gettleman.

This is why I like redrafts to happen just before week one......all the preseason crap and injuries are out in the open

 
not sure why this isn't in the kelvin benjamin thread
I am... It is a lot easier to notice and deal with the injury asap (especially for dynasty players with open waivers right now) when it is posted this way. If i didn't look at the Kelvin Benjamin thread, which I don't everyday, someone could have beat me to the punch by a mile... On another note, how much does this impact the ADP for Funchess? More specifically, where do you see him going in dynasty rookie drafts?

Wonder if they will pick up Wayne now? Or Welker?

Who gets the instant fantasy boost? SOrry if it's "too soon", but it should be talked about

They won't. They are actually quite loaded at WR and were considering an carry 7.

 
Sorry Panther fans. Top of my head, I can't think of a non-QB position group that has a bigger drop-off from the top guy to the next guy.

KC losing Maclin would be worse. Much worse. Still, this hurts pretty bad. There seems to be a lot of confidence in Funchess but he's a rookie and there's really no telling if he works out or not.

I'll be honest- I didn't read the entire thread so I didn't see if that is how it was said or anything. I was just posting in general in saying that I think his post was correct in that people DO these things and have these players on their teams for these very reasons. I agree, none of us have to be a jerk about anything but, at the same time, I've seen enough comments on this site to know that a lot of things get said that aren't for the thin-skinned. It's just a matter of perception.

I don't think that would be worse. Does it really matter if Maclin is open 20 yards downfield and Alex Smith doesn't throw him the ball or if random Chiefs receiver is covered 20 yards downfield and Alex Smith doesn't throw him the ball?

Not how bad the fact that he doesn't throw the ball deep, Maclin is good at getting vertical, but to answer your myth. Yes, he is kind of bad.

I don't know man, zero TDs to WRs is pretty bad. Has that ever happened, like, ever?? EVen in like 1970?

I would agree that Benjamin out is a much worse blow to the offense than if Maclin were to be out.

So I guess we cleared it up that when guys tear their ACL they don't lay on the ground holding their ACL.

That diagnosis was pretty conclusive from common sense after seeing that video.

Wow. That's a lot of things wrong about two completely different players in very few words. Not easy to get that kind of incorrectness efficiency. Props.

KC losing Maclin would be worse. Much worse. Still, this hurts pretty bad. There seems to be a lot of confidence in Funchess but he's a rookie and there's really no telling if he works out or not.
I don't think that would be worse. Does it really matter if Maclin is open 20 yards downfield and Alex Smith doesn't throw him the ball or if random Chiefs receiver is covered 20 yards downfield and Alex Smith doesn't throw him the ball?
Ahh, the myth of how bad A. Smith is.
Not how bad the fact that he doesn't throw the ball deep, Maclin is good at getting vertical, but to answer your myth. Yes, he is kind of bad.
