I can't see any significant negative impact to a player of his skill and ability. No matter who is across from him, he has the potential to go all the way at any time. Anyone feel it could hurt him? Why?

No effect on AJ whatsoever. He should get a bunch of targets regardless of who's in or out. I expect Andre Davis to get a couple of deep looks, and David Anderson could be used in some packages as Walter's replacement as well. Davis should be the biggest beneficiary, but he's a complete boom-or-bust type of play....

Please...someone post something extremely inappropriate so as to cause this irrelevant thread to be locked.Honestly, AJ is doubled (or at least payed extremely close attention to) most of the time anyway. No matter who Walter's replacement is, the defense has to cover him, so it really doesn't affect AJ in the least.

Ok, we can only beat a ####kkking dead horse for so long. I was tired of seeing P Thomas, Marshall, and James Davis threads. I had not seen anything on Walter's injury, so I decided to see what people thought about it. It's one day before kickoff, new and exciting threads are hard to come by. I assume you knew what the thread was about by reading the title. Thanks for stopping by and adding absolutely ZERO.

I think you guys are forgetting that darrell revis will be covering aj. he'll have a pedestrian day. it's whomever lito sheppard is covering that will have the career day.
Even so you don't sit him. That's why these threads....... ughThink about it.Shaub out, do you sit AJ... probably notWalter out, do you sit AJ... probably notSlaton out, do you sit AJ... probably notDaniels out, do you sit AJ... probably notEven if he has a pedestrian day, you don't sit him, based on potential. Of course it depends on how deep your bench is, but I don't see anyone I would bench AJ for, regardless of situation.

Sorry, didn't mean to make it seem like I was talking to you in particular, you make a very valid point.It was targeted more towards threads that are contemplating sitting the best players in the league. I mean I wouldn't sit AP, even if he was going up against Pittsburgh.

Dude Pierre Thomas was likely drafted in the 2nd-4th round depending on the date you drafted. Walter is a WR3. Isnt it pretty freaking obvious what will happen if Walter is out?? His backup will play!! Not much changes for AJ.Im not even one of those guys that complains about threadsa but this one is STUPID. You're right, I'm dumber for having entered it.

Sorry, but could you quote my OP about where I was contempating sitting him? I dont even own him. TIA.
What I'm saying is regardless of impact to AJ nothing changes, for fantasy purposes you either sit him or you don't.And for all intents and purposes you don't sit AJ.

So a thread about the impact to a player that was drafted in the top 10 is irrelevent compared to a RB2? Thanks for feeling like you had to post in this useless thread twice.
I've been reading these boards for a good 6 years or so, and I have to say that the whole "Thread Police" thing is ridiculous, and it only gets worse.
The OP never mentioned benching Johnson, so why drop in just to rant about how you would never bench him and how this is a stupid thread? If you don't think Kevin Walter being hurt has an impact, that's fine... say so, but the fact that some of you apparently think you get to decide what threads have merit and what threads do not is a little silly.
People could be considering a trade that involves Andre Johnson, for example... and whether or not you'd bench him is really immaterial to that discussion... the nuances of how well he does with different personnel around him, however, seems perfectly relevant in that context.

it's cool. I gotcha. you don't draft a guy with one of your top picks to sit him.however, aj: 65 - 75 yds, maybe a TD. JMH (biased) O
Well I thank you. I've always hated thread policing as well, I'm glad you called out my hypocrisy. And I'll admit this is my first offense.But I think what irked me finally is the fact that there have been plenty of threads that ask if they should sit a certain player, and all that is required is some basic common sense to decide. But the OP probably brought this up for the sake of discussion, so for that I apologize.

I agree to an extent but I think the idea that Walter's presence has any impact on AJ is what rankles people. I appreciate Fireball looking for different talking points but this one seems like a reach.The only reason Walter is even rosterable in the first place is because of AJ, I don't think Walter's presence or absence has any impact on A.J. whatsoever.

That's all it was, man. Like I said, it's the day before kick off and alot of this stuff in getting old already. I'll admit that it's probably not the most relevant or interesting topic in the world. Maybe the title should have been, "Impact on HOU passing game if Walter is OUT". Walter was WR 20 in my main league last year, so maybe he would impact the overall HOU passing game.
