WHat are your thoughts on Branch being out? Will these other guys step up?

It's a good day to have Bobby Engram in your lineup, as he has shown the past few weeks. A few bones may get thrown Hackett and Burleson's way as well

 
I'm hoping Hackett goes off for the sake of my fantasy team. I don't think Branch not being there is going to have a huge effect on the team. They are still pretty loaded at wr. Alexander playing like a pansey is a bigger issue.

interesting. i think Engram is great to have tonight but i actually like Hackett better. Hackett is no question the better receiver, but he was rusty last week. imo.

Better? Using what sort of metric? Bobby Engram is an outstanding receiver and has been getting the job done every week for a lot of years. Hackett made a few nice catches at the end of last season and made what I thought as a nice adjustment on a ball last week late in the game. No question the better receiver? Oh man. Perhaps an argument can be made that Hackett has a higher ceiling, but this sort of hyperbole is ridiculous. ;)

I like Burleson, the guy has been explosive the last few weeks.

Burleson had ample opportunities to lock down the SE position in the Seattle offense. It just ain't going to happen. Seattle appears to be handing the job to Hackett as Burleson didn't impress while Hackett was out.
 
Something wrong with the other Branch thread talking about him being out? You know, the one that's been around for a few days? Why do people just make new threads every time they come up with a "scoop"?

 
I wound up grabbing all three at one point during the season, and have stockpiled them on my bench. I honestly think this is one of those situations where people really WANT Hackett to do well (myself included), but Engram is still going to be the main recipient.

Hackett = sexy

Engram = steady

Branch = abducted by aliens

Will the mods merge the two threads together if you report it?
 
From the National Weather Service

Today: Periods of rain. High near 53. Windy, with a south southeast wind 17 to 20 mph becoming south between 28 and 31 mph. Winds could gust as high as 47 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%.

Tonight: Periods of showers, mainly before 10pm. Low around 41. Breezy, with a west southwest wind 19 to 22 mph becoming east 10 to 13 mph. Chance of precipitation is 80%.

HIGH WIND WARNING IN EFFECT FROM 10 AM THIS MORNING TO 4 PM

PST THIS AFTERNOON..

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN SEATTLE HAS ISSUED A HIGH WIND

WARNING...WHICH IS IN EFFECT FROM 10 AM THIS MORNING TO 4 PM PST

THIS AFTERNOON. THE HIGH WIND WATCH IS NO LONGER IN EFFECT.

THE FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS LOW IS EXPECTED TO MOVE THROUGH

THE AREA EARLY THIS AFTERNOON WITH STRONG SURFACE PRESSURE RISES

BEHIND THE FRONT. SOUTH WINDS OF 30 TO 40 MPH WITH POSSIBLE GUSTS

TO 60 MPH ARE EXPECTED WITH AND JUST BEHIND THE FRONT. THE HIGH

WINDS ARE NOT EXPECTED TO LAST VERY LONG. AT THIS TIME IT LOOKS

LIKE THE STRONGEST WINDS WILL BE IN A THREE HOUR WINDOW BETWEEN 10

AM AND 4 PM. WINDS WILL DIMINISH SIGNIFICANTLY AFTER 4 PM.

 
This is getting crazy with Branch. However they probably want to make sure he's 100 percent when he returns. He was on a tear in PPR before the injury.

He could become a real factor in FF playoffs with Seattle not having a running game, agree?

Shaun Alexander and Deion Branch will not play for Seattle on their Monday Night Football game against San Francisco, according to ESPN.com.Mike Holmgren reportedly announced the news on his television show Sunday, although the local Seattle papers don't have the news. This means Maurice Morris will get the start for Seattle at running back, with Leonard Weaver playing a bigger role. Morris is a fine flex option if you kept a space open. At wideout, Nate Burleson will pick up snaps alongside D.J. Hackett and Bobby Engram. Nov. 12 - 9:39 am etSource: ESPN.com
 
Back to the topic. I am expecting an ugly game for both teams. I am expecting a low scoring game with players slipping all over the field. A few turnovers will occur.

Hass will still throw alot. But I do not expect big numbers for Hackett or Engram.

Just to be clear, he's not officially out until the inactive list is submitted later today. That said, Holmgren definitely said on his show last night that neither Branch nor Alexander will play. I suppose he could have been lying, but I doubt it.

As long as its not windy the slick track will favor the Wrs.

it's not hyperbole, it's my opinion. I'm entitled to that, am i not?My reasoning is that Hackett is 25 and he has shown real signs that he could break out and be a star. Engram is 34 years old, i think and he has never shown to be much more than a possesion receiver. Serviceable yes, someone I fear in my opponents starting lineup, absolutely not. just my opinion.

if you guys needed just 6 pts for a win tonight, in a PPR scoring league, would you start Hackett or Gore? I know, its AC forum kinda question, but I know just this once, someone will throw me a bone here right? :moneybag:

 
hornet, he's only been officially out for about a half hour now. but you got your own thread.

pantherpower - i'm actually playing both - and wil unlikely get what i need - but if just one, probably the rb, gore.
