I gotta tell ya, he had a lot more zip on the ball than I was expecting. I'm a little hopeful he can keep Chase and Higgins from being totally worthless.
Ok uh I didn’t think it would go to that extent.
I mean they were projected a top 5 team in the NFL and will miss the playoffs. Higgins, Chase, Burrow (twice), all injured.
Very slow release.
Yeah. They were talking about that on the CBS podcast this morning. Everything looks pretty good right up until the point he actually throws the ball.
Respectfully disagree on one aspect, they are completely dead in the water without Burrow now as far as the playoffs. There is little motivation to bring back Higgins now who hasn't been right all year. Maybe they can backend into it as the 7th seed given how many other teams also lost their QB's this year but seems pretty unlikely. They aren't a NYJ or a CLE with a studly defense they can lean on the rest of the season.
Yep but also who is Jefferson's QB exactly? Maybe there is another choice for WR1? Or at least a bigger tier than we thought
and Amon Ra turned 24 a couple weeks ago and is on a 16 game pace of 170/1660/8. I think those 5 might be my S tier for dynasty WRs: Young and elite. Since getting a consistent starting spot 2/3 of the way into his rookie year, ARSB is averaging 19.6 PPR PPG.
I would have a top tier of 6 that would include the WR's you two mentioned as well as Wilson. He's the one out of he group who has never had a good QB, wins rookie of the year with a poo poo platter at QB and is now on pace for 104/1200 with Zach. Things have been ok, but should one day be considerably better.
I get it but he's 1 tier behind. He's young, dripping with potential and has shown to be very good. But he hasn't put elite on paper yet. The top 5 have.
He is exciting but I can't put any prospect in the same tier as guys who are setting NFL records.
Got him in same tier as some of them but I still got Chase and JJ a tier above everyone else.
I see why, he's such a good prospect. Still, I've seen how even the elite can go a little wrong. I need to see NFL performance before I can put someone above a player like AJ Brown, Amon Ra.
We really saying Wilson has not shown NFL performance?
He has shown NFL performance. Nobody would call him a bust or anything. We are talking about putting him in the Justin Jefferson, AJ Brown tier. Has he shown that level of NFL performance?
Just think….of sports gambling was not “legal” this wiuld be a non issue.
Eh. First time he's going to miss a game since the rookie year knee injury.
I don't think any of his injuries have been chronic/degenerative kind of things.
I think it's just the nature of a calf injury. I'm not convinced that Mahommes or Allen recover more quickly than Burrow does.
Mahomes limps when he walks normally.
The Bengals put the brace pic on their Twitter account.
Josh Allen has been dealing with a shoulder injury the last few weeks. He had 2 INT’s just last week.
This was the conversation on McCaffery 2 years ago. He wasn't having the same injury over and over, just different significant injuries. He seems to be avoiding them just fine now.
I think you're probably right.
He's had a lot of injuries.
"
This. The number of injuries and number of years we're dealing with are just way too small of a sample size. Granted, I do think it's possible for certain players to be more injury-prone than others, but I don't think the sample sizes yield particularly compelling evidence in almost any case. If you bought a set of 5 dice and rolled them all 10 times, and one of them came up "4" 6 times, do you just assume it has to be a crooked die? No, crazy stuff is expected to happen in random samples.
I’m not sure what you’re saying. Burrow didn’t have the “brace” on in warmups (at least when he was throwing). The video showed him slinging the ball like he usually does, dropping his wrist in a pronounced fashion, etc.
I think the term 'injury prone' needs to just go away, because you cannot prove someone is, it's just something people assign to players, usually when that player was previously on their fantasy team. It's not a 'real' thing.
This one is a ligament tear.
