Get Sproles active

Is this how far he's fallen? One of the premier RB's in the game who many still thought was a top 5 guy is ruled out for a 2nd week in a row and not a single comment in almost 2 hours.

im pretty sure its because most of us already expected him to miss this week and word is he may be out until after the week 5 bye....not to mention where sick of wondering if he can stay healthy

Many who still thought he was a top 5 guy, are too pissed to come in here, and many who no longer thought he was top 5 are tired of saying I told you so.

I don't see how so many people are down on LT unless you picked him extremely high and don't have any RB depth. His first and only game thus far still out paces M.Forte and S.Slaton. D.Sproles is not an every down back and it showed again in the Balt game. In order for SD to win they will need to run the ball in the red zone and LT is a major part of that. When he returns barring another injury he will be a top 10 back week in and week out. Stop panicking and realize that when he returns your team will be much stronger for the playoff run...

well i franchised him so he was my # 1 pick by default...luckily i also have sproles...my number 2 guy is ryan grant...i was counting on L.T living up to the pre-season hype...now hes hurt and it just smells bad....so he comes back after week 5...so what...he was healthy right up until he sprained his ankle vs oakland...whos to say he wont pull his groin or some crap...point is he just cant seem to stay healthy ...ugh

I now believe without doubt LT is done as a top feature back

People are down on anyone who was a high pick and looked liked a shell of his former self week 1, and now misses 2 weeks and counting.Not sure if Sproles going 10/26 against BLT is showing he is not an every down back.Many RB's fair poorly against BLT run D.Even if he never becomes an every down back, 10-12 carries and 4-6 rec could be a top 10 RB in PPR leagues for him.If LT is a top 10 RB from the day he comes back to the end of the season, I'll eat anyone's hat.

Yep, this is like watching Faulk those last few years.You knew it was a risk taking him, but you held out hope.LT may even have another 3 TD game in him this year, but, those expecting anything close to what we have come to know of LT will be very disappointed.

I'll hold you to that as the season goes on...

Yes that LT is always hurt and constantly missing games.

LT will score three 1-yard TDs on the Monday nighter against Denver in Week 6.Yay! He's as good as Willis McGahee.Then he'll get a booboo on Week 8 after dealing with Richard Seymour and go on another sabbatical to avoid the Giants/Eagles.On the bright side, this is doing wonders for the fantasy values of Rivers, VJax and Sproles.

I still think I might try and grab him for the playoffs.

 

[Hedgehog]

i would rather he be out then limping out there - but I have Sproles....I figured if I was gonna risk LT I HAD to get Sproles - was right on that one!

Many RB's fair poorly against BLT run D.

Even if he never becomes an every down back, 10-12 carries and 4-6 rec could be a top 10 RB in PPR leagues for him.

You should be careful....i've worn some pretty interesting hats
