Official Joseph Addai Thread (1 Viewer)

Ministry of Pain said:
With the game being a late afternoon game, are we really going to have some definite news in the next 1-2 hours? I doubt it and for a lot of owners including myself in certain leagues, by the time we get news at 3:00-3:30, it's too late to do some of the things we would like to do now. Really stinks too because we all have great info from these boards but if we don't know if a guy is playing, what good is it?

I still go back to Dungy saying that Addai could have gone back in the game last week...have to think he kept him out of practive this week to keep him fresh...but again all that is just speculation on my part.

Announcer on WNDE said he expects Addai to play. As an Indy homer here, I expect him to play. He's not really all that hurt. A bruised shoulder? He should play despite not practicing, no different than Burress.

 
Corrected, it wasn't wnde, it was local 950. I still have him in my lineup, but it is noted that I also have Morency in the late game as a backup option. I think its important to note.

Last thing I wanted to see.Not a homer here...but I just don't see the need to play Addai on an undefeated team before the bye week even if he is 90%.My lineups just locked. :popcorn:
 
Anything to note yet? Is Addai warming up or is Keith the play? I've got both, just need to know if Addai is playing or not.

 
CBS Sportsline is also reporting:

Joseph Addai, RB IND

News: Colts RB Joseph Addai has been ruled inactive for Week 5 against the Bucs with a chest injury. Addai did not practice all week and was listed as questionable on the injury report. Kenton Keith will get the start in place of Addai.

Now, if CBS Sportsline isn't definiative, who is? :P

 
I don't put much faith in CBS. They listed the Colts inactives but didn't list Addai. Then they come back and say Keith is starting for Addai who's inactive. Can we get a KFFL or footballguys staff member to post something definitive.

 
From ESPN:

Brendan Roberts: (3:08 p.m. ET) Joseph Addai, Marvin Harrison and Bob Sanders are all listed as inactive for the Colts, as are lesser options LB Freddy Keiaho, WR Aaron Moorehead and TE Ben Utecht. Wow, that's quite an inactive list. Kenton Keith will replace Addai and is a solid fill-in fantasy start. Anthony Gonzalez will replace Harrison and also is a good start, especially since Moorehead also is inactive. The Colts will look like a different team on the field without Addai, Harrison and Sanders, and the Bucs are rolling right now. You might not get typical production from your Colts offensive options.

Here's my opnion: Forget Addai and start Keith.At a minimum, Keith for sure is going to get a lot of carries. Addai hasn't practiced all week, and it makes no sense to play him and risk further injury when he could have another couple of weeks to heal.I look for the Colts to try to build a nice early lead by winging the ball and then use Keith down the line to just pound the ball and chew up clock.

TB is only 20th against the run this yr. I would think Keith is a must start if Addai is out.

Yes, but let's break it down beyond just looking at stats in a vacuum...week1: Shaun Alexander 27/105/1...Pretty nice stats for owners but from an NFL POV...the Bucs were fairly solid. Shaun didn't gash them or anything.week2: Deuce 10/49, Reggie 10/27...20/76 combined...Bucs really shut them down.week3: SJax 30/115...for all those carries he did very little damage on the Bucs.week4: Foster 15/64...Bucs wrapped up the Panthers all day.They have really only had 1 week where they allowed anything close to top10 stats for a RB and that was on the road in week 1...I would argue they are a lot better even now. And with Harrison OUT, they can likely double team Wayne, play whoever with man on the other side, June can cover Dallas Clark with Safety help if need be sometimes...they should be able to keep their LB on the field and at times put 7 in the box. I want to believe KK will do fine in relief as I have a chance to play him in many leagues...but at the end of the day we have to be honest about the match up, and I don't think it is as good as you think it is.

But can we agree none of those teams compare to the Colts offense??? The starting RB in Indy is Gold, Peyton would make me a great player if I was on his team!!! :confused:

:goodposting: I think a lot of FF owners over analyze every matchup instead of just using some good old fashioned common sense. Keith was a no brainer and must start this week.
