Felix Jones hurt already? (1 Viewer)

Nothing to see here. It was just a precaution from what I read. He'll play and put up big numbers.

Don't expect Felix to play much if the Giants beat the Jets.

It's too early to panic. However, with the release of this information, it appeared like Felix was extremely tired at the end of Week 15 at TB, and understandably so. I suppose it's also possible that he was starting to tighten up late in that game.
For now, Felix is in a holding pattern until the news from Wednesday's practice surfaces.

Sammy looked pretty good. Fresh legs. Hit the hole strong.

Believe this is false. Below copied from the Romo thread claiming the same thing..----------------Not necessarily true....If the Falcons lose the next two(NO, TB) and Dallas wins vs Philly and loses vs Giants, there is a possibility that Dallas could get in as the 6th seed for the Wildcard. I don't think that under any circumstance should we expect the Cowboys to treat either of the remaining two games as meaningless.

Yeah. Fortunately I have the top waiver spot against my opponent, so I can grab him. I had originally put in a defensive claim for the Chiefs, so I'm just going to have to hope that I am able to get them as the #2 option.

I think this is probably the case, but the word "hamstring" is scary when you're playing in a Championship game...especially when you're not talking about the most trustworthy RB around.

Think in going to have to put a claim in for Morris.

Would you really play Morris in a fantasy title game? I think not.
You mean if the Jets beat the Giants?

16 team league with deep rosters. Other options would be gerhart, lance ball or Ricky Williams.

With the way he looked last week, and as the only RB option on the team, sure. Michael Crabtree is the only player on my team that would give me any pause about starting Morris over, thanks to injuries.

Felix and sproles for me. Non ppr.

The first post says that it doesn't look like he'll miss a game. I don't think anyone is being mislead here...

If nothing else, it prevents someone else from picking him up. Just imagine if you had the waiver priority over your SB opponent, you didn't put it for him, your opponent did, and then Morris actually had a good week that helped beat you.

Don't know about you, but I would pray for my opponent to start Sammy Morris in a title game

I agree with the above post. Wouldn't think about starting him. In 2005, I made the mistake of leaving Jonathon Wells on the waiver wire, overconfident with a 10-4 top seed team. I let my opponent pick up Wells the night before the game and crushed me. Here is Wells statline: My link. I'll never forget that loss. It's total BS to get smoked by a one-week wonder in the playoffs.

Rotoworld blurb:
Sammy Morris handled the majority of first-team reps in Tuesday's practice.
Felix Jones sat the practice out due to hamstring tightness. We're tentatively expecting Jones to play, but owners can protect themselves by adding Morris. The 34 year old looked surprisingly spry while running for 53 yards on 12 carries against the Bucs last week.

Based on the above, he should be rostered in all leagues. You can sit on him and mull it over for a few days, and decide against starting him if you have better options. But roster space shouldn't be an issue at this time of year.

Only Sunday game is Chicago @ Green Bay ...
So unless one has a back rostered from either, or a Falcoln/Saint on Monday night 
Cowboys are one of only 3 late games as well on Saturday ... gonna be a tight call.

I rostered Sammy Morris and will start him if Felix can't go. Based on the way he looked last week, I may actually feel better about playing him with Felix not going, than I would playing Felix...since I'm sure he'll end up getting hurt in the first drive anyway (after he fumbles).
I managed to overcome picking him early all season, so it will only be fitting that he screws me in the championship game.

With Romo slotted in as my QB starter, I'm thinking of dumping Sanchez to pick up Morris given my RB2/flex options are thin (Bell/Barber, Hillis, Lloyd).
If Jones can't run, is Morris the every-down-back? Philly can be run on, but their D is definitely coming off a high from the Jets game, and this is a big divisional spoiler game for them.

If Felix is out and your other options are not good, then absolutely. It's about opportunity.

Damn. My only viable rePlacement is Ben Tate who plays on Thursday. No bueno
More RW updates:
Felix Jones (hamstring) was not present for the start of Cowboys' practice Wednesday.
Jones could emerge from the training room and get a workout in later, but it doesn't appear likely. This would be his second straight missed practice as concern grows over his ability to sustain health as a feature back. Jones cramped, needed an IV and ceded to Sammy Morris late in last week's win over the Bucs. Owners need to monitor his status closely heading into Saturday's game against the Eagles.

This is just so much like Felix Jones that it is honestly unreal. Everyone, and I mean everyone, joked that he would get hurt again. Just incredible. Looks like Sammy Morris has a shot to start in a fantasy championship game for me.
Louisville Slugger

Jones missed practice again. I am VERY concerned at this point. It would be so like Jones to start the game only to re-injure himself in the first series of downs.

One thing you have to take into account is that if Felix is not healthy I doubt Dallas rushes him back cause it is not very likely the Falcons lose vs TB and also the only game Dallas needs to win is the Giant game. Dallas is playing for the division and not going to put a less then healthy Felix out there with his injury history in game that has no affect for them on whether they win the division if the Giants win vs the Jets. Just giving for warning for the Felix owners.
Mustang Man

No if the Jets beat the Giants Dallas would play him cause then they could clinch the division if they beat the Eagles. If the Giants beat the Jets then the outcome of the Dallas Philly game means nothing in the division race for Dallas. They would then have to beat the Giants to win the division in week 17

So is Morris a must add over someone like Bell for the Bears?
solorca

I think Bell is a better play over Morris, regardless.

Anyone with any sense knows this guy does not handle injuries very well. Would not be surprised if he re-injuries this injury in the first quarter if he does play. Glad I do not have to make this decision in my title game. Good Luck!!

Excellent stuff. Stretch run- title game and we are debating Sammy Morris. Love It.
I think the post above me said it best " Anyone with any sense knows this guy does not handle injuries very we....". I dont think anything could be more true and if you have watched Felix these last couple of years then you KNOW Sammy Morris has an excecllent chance of contributing this week.
Don't trust a thing Stephen Jones says.
Flex RB - I am rolling with Sammy over Ryan Grant this week.
