I have Karlos Dansby on standby, but yes I'm worried in a big playoff game. My other LBs are Ryans, Boley, and Harris.
Considering your own injury history you should...
I think what it comes down to is what kind of quality you have on the bench as an alternative to Ryans. My league scoring is 1 pt/tackle, 3 pts/int, 3 pts/sack, and 5 or 7 pts/td.I'm lucky enough to have another stud like Willis sitting on my bench, and when you factor in the short week, I think it's a no brainer for me to sit Ryans and start PW. Why would I want to take on the additional risk with DR?If you don't have another LB1 sitting on your bench, then it probably makes sense to play Ryans, and just hope he doesn't have to leave the game early with injury.
Thank you Jene
I got nothing. :( <<< Going down with my captain at the helm tonight if that's how it goes. Not benching the #1 overall LB with an average-above average matchup. Here's hoping we're not looking at Antonio Pierce Part Deux. I'd guess that a knee bruise can be played with more easily than an ankle injury...right?
Much appreciated, Doc. Any late word, news, rumors, or hunches will be welcome. I'm very close to putting Ryans back in. He's been too good this year to bench, but last week's performance still scares me.

I want to go wit Ryans..but I also have Harris and Willis. so I am thinking the drop off wont be too bad.
It's definatley his injury. I thought I noticed it some last week, but wasn't sure, definatley did last night. He's simply not 100% with the knee. There's a reason Greenwood's numbers have been up the past 2 games, he's had some opportunities he prolly would not had if Ryans was healthy.
We get both Norton and Bramel's takes on this issue on tonight's IDP Roundtable.
Norton was still a little conflicted on Ryans. I've benched him in every league I've got another reasonable option. Norton may not drop him as far as I would, but I'd be surprised if he didn't drop him after the mid week injury reports.In general, John likes to keep things status quo with the early projections. They reflect what he believes to be the best matchups more than anything else. As the injury situations and lineup changes come more into focus by mid-late week, the tweaks start. In this case, I think the underlying message is that the matchup is favorable and the Houston LBs will do well. Had Ryans "just" had the knee bruise and ten days to recover, he's a solid play. We didn't learn the full diagnosis and player quotes until Tues afternoon. I'd expect to see Greenwood and Ryans flipped in the rankings soon.
I know what your sayin', but he clearly is not the DeMeco your use to. After watching him play last week, the decision for me is easy, I'm sitting him , however I'm pretty deep at LB. Good Luck!
I'd do the same...it's hard to play on one leg. It's a shame too because Ryans is a beast.
yup out with demeco in with durant.
