I sure hope he's ready. I can't count on my opponent getting 0 points from McNabb and Curtis every week. I'm not greedy though, I'll settle for any of JW, Boldin or A. Johnson suiting up in week 5.

Walker in that Charger's secondary? Money!! (Chargers fan)

It's a great matchup if he can play and there's no question the Broncos badly need him if they want to be competitive. There's no question in my mind there's a distinct correlation between the first two games when Walker was heavily involved (both Denver wins) and the last two when Walker wasn't or didn't play (both Denver losses). Marshall isn't ready to be a No. 1 WR; Stokley sucks unless defenses are completely ignoring him and the TEs are non-existent. There's no balance to the offense with Walker out.

Monday update from RotoWorld:

Broncos coach Mike Shanahan couldn't say whether Javon Walker (knee) will play in Week 5 during his Monday press conference.

Shanahan said Walker and John Lynch (groin) are getting treatment. They'll probably try to give it a go in practice Wednesday. We'll know more then.

Just traded for him:

 

[Nathan R. Jessep]

just waived him for E Graham in a league with few bench spots, I needed the RB backup worse than the big question mark at WR... that said,

 

[FavreCo]

Beat up 2nd fiddle to E-15. Could use him out there drawing some coverage though.

dude you waived a proven commodity for an unproven one...WTF you must have a lot of depth at the wr spot.

Yes, after a lot of back and forth, I did it. Between the back and forth with him and BMarshall getting the action, and the greater need for a RB to cover bye weeks, I couldn't stand it any more. He's been sitting the bench the last 2 weeks for me, and we only have a couple of spare roster spots, so I'll let someone else suffer with him. I am holding a grudge against him. The injury just put it over the top for me. It's worth noting that I also have SJax and Steve Smith, so needless to say, my patience is pretty thin at this point. I am fairly patient normally, but just have never been a huge Javon fan. I put out several trade offers, and got no responses. If he comes back next week and starts putting up 15-20 points a game, oh well, I shoulda kept him, but I am betting that he won't.

Monday quote from Walker. From RotoWorld:

Javon Walker said Monday that he's unsure about his Week 5 status, but added that his knee injury "is not long term."

"I've done long-term before, and this is not it," Walker said. "It's in the back, so you can't really drain it. We have to milk it out of there. You've got to let it flush its way on its own. But every day it gets a lot better."

It's a good move. A healthy knee should not have to be drained or "milked". He's got issues, maybe he plays through them at far less than 100%, or maybe he can't. Either way, you made the right call.

thanks, I think so. Looks like he would have a pine-riding question mark again this week. Hope his lucky new owner enjoys him

Rest him and get him healthy for the second half.

 

[Cawbird]

Just wondering......................is H.K. a fan of ANYONE??????????

 

[NoCheese]

As long as there's no structural damage to the knee and there's just a little swelling, he can play through it. I'm sure it will be an issue all year, but I would have to imagine he sits out Week 5 and 6 (bye week) and guts it out the rest of the year and plays through the pain.

 

[bumpman]

Just wondering......................is H.K. a fan of ANYONE??????????

Mewelde Moore.

 

[Cawbird]

So I'm sure he'll jump in shortly then, since the rumors out of Tampa are that they are now inquiring about Moore instead of Taylor.

 

[packersfan]

So I'm sure he'll jump in shortly then, since the rumors out of Tampa are that they are now inquiring about Moore instead of Taylor.

That would be a smart move for both teams. I think Moore would be an upgrade over what the Bucs have and the Vikings need to move Moore and get something for him instead of having him rot on the bench as the No. 3 RB.Sorry for the hijack.

 

[H.K.]

Antonio Gates eta: Brett Favre, too!

when your knee swells, your range of motion goes down.....it's not just gutting it out

Draining the knee is treating the symptom, not the root cause. Something is wrong or it wouldn't need to be drained.

HAHAAAA!!! "It's a good move" to DROP Javon Walker. Ya, it's also a good idea to crap my pants. Are you two completely clueless? You dont drop a top wideout becuase he misses one week. Wake up.

Javon Walker is a stud. Period. He should not be dropped in Dynasty, Keeper, Redraft or any other league. IF more informaiton comes out that he will miss substantial time, then yes, maybe he can be dropped. Maybe. But you donty just waive a guy like Javon for someone else to scoop up and stash for a late season run or fpr the playoffs. I would be pissed if that happened in my league and I guaran-effing-tee other people would pe pissed too. That is how I really feel. And yes, i almost crapped my pants when I read someone dropped him, and then someonec else actually had the audacity to post that it was a GOOD idea. Especially when the person supporting dropping Javon has been flogging Brandon Marshall all over these boards and dogging Javon at the same t ime.

 

[bumpman]

Bump for any morning updates. I have roster full of iffy WRs. Boldin/SMoss/Javon. It's killing me. No, I won't drop Javon.

stud, eh? did you read my entire situation, or did you quit after "I dropped Javon"? He's a good player when he's healthy, I'm not disputing that. Stud? I wouldn't call him that, but you are certainly entitled to your opinion.

How about "he's been a top 10 WR a couple of times, including last year." You don't cut a guy like that if you like winning.

you do when (A) he's sitting the bench, and "questionable" at that and (B) you need the spot to cover bye weeks at other spots... should I have an empty RB slot or WR slot and keep Javon on the bench or start him even though I know he's not going to play? I am trying to GET to the playoffs, so at this point I am not concerned with "the playoff run"

And after all, he's not on the Yahoo CAN'T CUT list, so that means he's not a stud, right?

everybody else is PLAYING and as I mentioned, we don't have many bench spots

 

[packersfan]

I can appreciate the difficult issues that arise in a league with tight roster limits. I'm in one myself so I can definitely relate. But who else do you have on your roster? I'm in agreement with the others here - Walker is a stud when healthy. He's proven that. I'd be very surprised - even in a league with tight roster limits - that you couldn't find someone else to drop and keep Walker on the bench until he returns.

 

[Nathan R. Jessep]

well, I don't want this to go to A.C. forum material, but I had Boldin and Calvin already gimpy and on the bench...starters were Mason and Steve Smith... really, the only other one I would have considered is Calvin, but I didn't want to do that because of the explosive DET passing attack

OK, rake me over the coals, now

That's a great WR corps. No doubt. I'm a big Calvin Johnson fan but I'd much rather have Walker than Johnson. But I agree that's a tough situation you were in. That's my main gripe against tight roster leagues - it often forces you to get rid of guys you like a lot. Two weeks ago, I had to drop Leon Washington (who I really like in PPR leagues) for Shaun McDonald. Didn't want to do it but had no choice given the roster configurations of my league. Oh well. And now I'm done hijacking my own thread.

these are the worst players on your team?? You have noone else to drop, like a backup TE or def or crappy RB or an extra QB?? I find this rather hard to believe.

 

[suspected]

FBGs,

This is an injury update thread. If you want to debate if he's worth rostering please take it somewhere else.

maybe not the worst, but with bye weeks upon us, and injuries abounding, I felt the need to get rid of the extra WR that wasn't going to see the lineup any time soon.Just to clarify, if you haven't played in a league with only a couple bench spots, it's a LOT different from a 'normal' league where you can have 2-3 backups at EVERY position. As packersfan mentioned... especially when bye weeks hit. Add injuries to that, and you see a lot of so-called 'studs' being dropped. I also have Stephen Jackson taking up one spot. Maybe I should have dropped him instead? Oh wait, he IS a stud...he's on the Can't Cut list

Oh geez, you cut Walker over Calvin.I'm thinking that was not the best move.

perhaps...we shall see, I am not ashamed to say later if I made a mistake, but enough is enough and it's time for a change!back on track here, do we have any further info on my ex-stud?

these are the worst players on your team?? You have noone else to drop, like a backup TE or def or crappy RB or an extra QB?? I find this rather hard to believe.

maybe not the worst, but with bye weeks upon us, and injuries abounding, I felt the need to get rid of the extra WR that wasn't going to see the lineup any time soon.Just to clarify, if you haven't played in a league with only a couple bench spots, it's a LOT different from a 'normal' league where you can have 2-3 backups at EVERY position. As packersfan mentioned... especially when bye weeks hit. Add injuries to that, and you see a lot of so-called 'studs' being dropped. I also have Stephen Jackson taking up one spot. Maybe I should have dropped him instead? Oh wait, he IS a stud...he's on the Can't Cut list

Yes never judge someone droping a player.I play in one league where I start 8 and have 5 Bench (I normal carry 4 WR and 4 RB, 1or 2QB orTE and 1 Def, 1 Kicker) Start 1-2-2-1-1-1Another is 9 Starters with 5 bench spotsAnd last in 8 Starters with 8 bench spots (WW are thin in this one compared to the others)

Nothing in the latest Rocky Mountain news. We should find out if he plays this week later today. Or at least get an update. My guess is he's a game-time decision this week.

Thanks for a post that's actually on topic...seriously.Anyone else of the opinion the Rat will sit Javon this week since week 6 is their BYE (hoping his knee feels better by week 7)?
