Chris Givens OUT for Rams (1 Viewer)

[Dawg Pound 69]

He is inactive for violating team rules.

Rams WR Chris Givens and CB Janoris Jenkins are inactive for Week 10 against the 49ers.

The rookie duo has been scratched for violating team rules. Jenkins' play has been rocky of late, but Givens' deactivation comes as a major surprise for a team with so few pass-catching threats, even considering the return of Danny Amendola. It's possible coach Jeff Fisher will never expound on the reasons for his decision, but it's hard to believe Givens will be out again in Week 11. Hopefully we'll get an update on Monday. Bradley Fletcher is starting in Jenkins' absence. Source: Jim Thomas on Twitter Nov 11 - 2:58 PM

Fisher could've said something earlier. Got burned by both guys just like I got burned by both Mike Sims Walker and Justin Durant when JDR pulled the same thing a few years ago on a trip to Seattle.

 

[Furious Styles]

Sounds like they stayed at the New Century too long

Yeah MSW is the first thing I thought of.

Uhh, he wasn't a WR4/5. He's been double digits the last 4 weeks in a row and was a solid start this week again even with Amendola back. We get far more random updates than, oh, inactive players for games that might matter? Again, it's a but of all the things you're going to provide, informing owners of a last second unsuspected inactivation should be on that list.

Why not line up and compare these two matrixes: games with ammendola starting/games without.Fwiw I owned him and started him for 3 weeks, but with ammendola playing he's robert meachem/devin Hester.

Sometimes reading what the other person writes and responding to that works better than screaming your I'll informed opinion even louder.Explain to me how a boom bust deep threat starting vs the niners when his qb throws about half of all targets to ammendola (and looks is way on 80% of routes) is a 'solid start'Without ammendola he's Devery Henderson getting targets. Without ammendola hes Joe Morgan.

Exactly Bobby, if folks have been paying attention you would know that Chris Givens was starting to look pretty special with a 50yd completion in something like 4-5 straight games, dynasty prospects were looking really good, then to see this happen makes me think he will be in Fisher's doghouse. These are 2 rookies, Fisher wants the team to know that it's his way or the highway, Jenkins was an even bigger splash as a rookie so it wasn't like he was alone in team violations. I am thinking they missed curfew or they missed a mandatory team meeting and Fisher had a "come to jesus" meeting with them, hopefully it sent a good message and they both can rebound and make amends in the coming weeks. I was getting pretty high on Givens, looked like a nice compliment opposite Amendola, hope he can put this behind him and move forward.

 

[BobbyLayne]

I'm a complete maroon - thought Hipple was talking about Danny (not Amendola's effect on Givens' targets).

Yeah, he's totally Henderson/Meachem. The moment you think you're onto something and start him after he puts up 3-4-5 weeks of double digit production, you'll put him in your lineup and get rewarded with 2-30-0.

 

[BobbyLayne]

FWIW, Chris Givens in the three games Danny Amendola missed:

16 targets, 9-221-1, 1- 14-0, 38.5 points, 12.8 PPG

Good for WR 37 over that span in PPR on a PPG basis.

Don't take it personal Hip, Givens has been a nice little find especially in dynasty and best ball leagues.

That said, Jenkins has a history of bad decisions and that's what dropped him into the 2nd round of the 2012 draft. about Jenkins

Violating curfew is better than being arrested at a strip bar or something. Again, hopefully both of them rebound and can move forward. I doubt Fisher is going to continue berating them, humiliation form the rest of the team should be enough. I'm sure a couple of the vets are going to take these guys under their wings a little closer, sometimes these things bring teams together.

Givens is clearly also behind Gibsonin pecking order. On par with Pettis/hendricks

I think Givens has his own spot, he is the long ball guy and a developing rookie, IMO he can move past Brandon Gibson rather easily.

As I said before, I owned and started him in my big $ league for 3 weeks. But the nfl/ffl is dynamic . And ammendola completely changes things. Chill out mop, didn't say drop him in a best balls league.

Honestly, I like givens game, but he's so small. Bigger wrs like Gibson just serve a certain role that he likely won't achieve. But longterm I cold easily see givens being like Santana moss.

Let's hope this goes better than. MSW's post suspension career.

People #####ing about FBG not notifying them is ridiculous.

Just curious, I'd like to know who was left on the bench for the teams caught with Givens in their lineup.

I'm not complaining about FBG's. They put the info on their news page as soon as it became public. Unfortunately that was too late because the wire was closed in most leagues and bench players were locked in either by byes or by their games already starting. So my real complaint is with Fisher, even though I know that it's not his job to help my fantasy team. It just seems wrong that in a league that's so uptight about reporting injuries it's OK for the Fisher to hold that information until the last second. FWIW Jenkins gave me problems in more league than Givens, but Richardson, Morris, Jordy and J.Gordon were on my bench and their byes in the league I started Givens in.
