I've considered starting him over Britt this week, but I like Britt's chances of scoring....However I plan on rolling with him a bunch in the coming weeks and playoffs.

Matchups... is there a team he wont be targetted 11 times against?'glumpy said:He really doesn't have many good looking matchups remaining unless you're gearing towards the playoffs imo. I had him up until the injury, and looking real hard at picking him up again but he would be my #4 behind Julio, Decker and James Jones in a league where I can play 2-3. Given their matchups I couldn't see fielding him more than once or twice depending on how the RB's look that I would play a WR-heavy lineup. Depends on a couple other moves I've got in mind--I could see playing keep away even if he sits on the bench. Already doing that with Hernandez, though.'bubleeshaark said:

Oh he'll get his targets to be sure. The problem is weighing 6-56 against the potential for other guys like Kenny Britt who have favorable mathcup against the like of the Patriots. He's risky right now but is a perfect little PPR WR3 because you know his floor is about 10 points and his ceiling is probably 20 even against a good opponent.Matchups... is there a team he wont be targetted 11 times against?'glumpy said:He really doesn't have many good looking matchups remaining unless you're gearing towards the playoffs imo.

I'm in the same boat with Britt and Amendola in non-PPR. I'm thinking Britt just because of the higher likelihood of a TD. And Amendola still being limited in practice while Britt appears to be relatively healthy.
...but I certainly ain't feelin good about this one.

Started Britt over Amendola but thankfully it didn't cost me my matchup. Amendola had a solid day and could have had a great day if it weren't for the stupid penalty that took away the 80yd catch. I'm really liking him in my WR3 slot going forward...he's clearly not 100% but he's still producing against a great D.

Are you sitting down? He's hurt again. On the cart with a leg injury.

Back in. 
Hope he's good to go and not just being gutsy.

He looks fine. Caught one already in second half. Targeted twice (overshot on a long pass on third and 1).Back in.

Via RW:
Danny Amendola missed Wednesday's practice with a foot injury, and is in a walking boot.
The word comes straight from coach Jeff Fisher. It's not good news, but it would be a much bigger concern had Amendola not played through the injury in the second half of Sunday's loss. That doesn't mean he'll be a go for Week 12, but there's still a strong chance Amendola plays against the Cardinals. However, it's possible he'll do so as a game-time decision who gets in zero practice reps. With the Rams not playing until 4:25ET, owners need to begin making contingency plans.

He's the kind of injury prone player I like to own. Reckless, sure, but also tough as nails. I don't think he'll play this week but he'll be on the field and producing as soon as possible.

Walking boot? Yeah....take another week off, sir.

He didn't practice today and is looking iffy again.
Come on Danny, rub some ice on that sucker and get out there.

Has anyone dropped him? With Harvin and McCoy out I need to make some moves but don't know if it's safe to drop him.
CrazyFox

Whether you drop him or not...I guess depends on your situation.
I'm holding because I don't play again till week 15. So if he doesn't play this week that's fine with me, if it means he comes back healthy the following week.
I'm not really sure we've been given any word of exactly what's wrong and how serious it is though, so I'm making other plans for my flex spot just in case.

I'm in the exact same boat....don't play this week, and looking for alternatives.One good thing is that the Rams play a 1:00 game against Minn wk 15, so we should know something that morning instead of playing the late game guessing game.

Givens is just sitting on my WW and I have Amendola on my bench. I wish we knew WTH was up.

I'd make the move. Givens will get points regardless of Amendola's health. You snooze you lose.

I'm hesitant because this is bye week for me. I'm more interested in wks 15 and 16. But, you're right. Someone will snatch him up.

So can we trust this guy today if he's active? Been a PPR monster whenever he's played a whole game, but that's been the exception. Not in love with my other options and already down big due to Knowshon so thinking about rolling the dice on Amendola if he's active, what are other people planning on doing with him this week (assuming he's active)?

Non ppr and I'll be rolling him out over Emmanuel Sanders if healthy. Health is a major concern, but it's the only concern. IF (yes that's a huge question mark) he plays a whole game, 80ish yards with a handful of catches seems to be his floor. That's tolerable for a lower level wr. In ppr leagues his value only goes up. Bottom line, if he plays I'd play him. And cross my fingers.
