RB A. Green Expected To Play

Associated Press, WFRV - link to full article

RB Ahman Green is questionable because of a left hamstring injury, but HC Mike McCarthy said he expects Green to play after he missed the last game but that his touches would be limited to 20. "He looked good," McCarthy said. "We'll see how he does (after practice) in the training room. But, like I've said all along, I think we'll be fine there."

A. Green gametime decision per John Clayton on Sportcenter.

 

[redman]

Sounds like Morency is the safter play here, as measured by a better guarantee of scoring some points, and he even has the possibility of being the main guy if Green can't go.

 

[ItsOnlytheRiver]

Also, Morency lit the Rams up in preseason if I am remembering correctly.

 

[fathermurphy]

Green is on the inactive list.

 

[raor]

I have no idea if this site is reliable or not, but they list Green as inactive:

FFL Live Wire Inactives

 

[⚡DEADHEAD⚡]

ESPN Radio reports Green inactive.

Confirmed on Packer pre-game. Green is out. All Morency today!! Wow what a play he is..

 

[Knightro]

Mort says he's out too

 

[Organized Chaos]

Confirmend Inactive per ESPN also

 

[FinHead]

Confirmed on Packer pre-game. Green is out. All Morency today!! Wow what a play he is..

Morency owner, with Rudi on a bye

 

[gbill2004]

I was going to be starting Droughns as my RB2 today with Dunn on a bye, but I'll now be starting Morency - woohoo!!

 

[StuntMonkee]

Any projections? Is it safe to add Greens numbers to VM?

what was it 26 carries last week for 94?

worse def?

23 carries for 100 plus a few catches and a possible TD?

Especialy if they need some help with a shallow WR core?

 

[Wheelhouse]

FWIW, I benched FWP for Morency. I like his pass-catching abilities. Go Morency!!!

 

[shadyridr]

Damn Jordan vs SF or Morency

 

[Johnny]

I am starting Morency over Driver and Berrian mainly cause I get pts per reception.

 

[stubby]

Morency over Tatum Bell now for me...

 

[DWidmar]

Damn Jordan vs SF or Morency

Welcome to my world. Not sure what I am going to do yet but I better decide fast.

 

[a_rackowski]

FWIW, I benched FWP for Morency. I like his pass-catching abilities. Go Morency!!!

Same here - I benched Kevin Jones for Morency. 99 Yds on the ground and 6 catches. The pack is going to try and grind this one out and Morency was awfully close to breaking some runs last week. I know its not the conventional move - but in my opinion Morencys value gets a major bump with this news.

 

[Raider Nation]

Damn Jordan vs SF or Morency

Man, I hate these last-minute decisions! I gotta figure out if I give VM the nod over Rhodes or Edge. It would have been nice to see a cheat sheet which factored in Green not playing. Morency's success ALL depends on how close the Pack can keep the game, and with the Rams in town against GB's horrid secondary, that's a big question mark.

I'm benching the "uber decoy" Reggie Bush and giving Morency the start this week.

 

[toxicbees]

I'm benching Chester for Morency. I'm thinking 100 yards and a score at the minimum, but there is a very good chance he gets 2 tds.

That Pack has really pounded the run to take pressure off Brett. Morency will get run into the ground today..

I think Edge said he wanted the ball 50 times. Sounds like a statement game from edge to me. I wouldnt bench him. Over Rhodes - Id probably start Vern.

[IAMCANADIAN]

I'll be starting Morency over Julius Jones. Philadelphia is generally a good run-stop team (especially @ Home), and with Jones sharing carries w/Barber & Thompson.

I see Morency a SAFER choice cause he'll see more touches, and hung a c-note (almost) on the aforementioned Phil defense. Don't forget that the St-Louis O-Line is missing key ingredients.

 

[ltaylor]

FWIW, I benched FWP for Morency. I like his pass-catching abilities. Go Morency!!!

I beched FWP as well. MY league is PPR and I see 20 points for Morency today for sure. FWP gets no more than about 12 points today IMO.

 

[uwgb96]

Giving Morency the last minute nod over Foster as I'm already starting Delhomme.

I benched FWP for C. Taylor and keeping Mornecy on the bench

I agree with this statement

moveFirst year both you guys are playing eh?

 

[RKMoney]

this is going to turn into a trainwreck of a thread! Starting Morency over RB drafted in top 3 rounds (Jones, FWP, Edge).

 

[RKMoney]

Giving Morency the last minute nod over Foster as I'm already starting Delhomme.

 

[SickThing]

All you guys expecting fantasy gold from Morency might want to think it over one more time.

 

[5-ish Finkle]

In case no one noticed....the Rams have given up at least 90 yards rushing and a touch to every starting RB they've faced so far.

Morency may not be the worst choice this week. I'm contemplating him over Thomas Jones.

I don't know how you can call this a dumb move. The Chargers haven't allowed a rushing TD all year, whereas Morency will charge thru a Rams D that has allowed 5. Who says Dookie or Hayes doens't vulture a TD from FWP anyhow. Morency over FWP is a lock imo... By the way, I don't own any of these players..

I would be VERY surprised if FWP has more points than Morency this week.1. SD allowing 66 rush ypg2. SD 0 rush TD's allowed so far3. STL rush D is averaging 120 ypg allowed4. STL allowed 5 rush TD's so farGame on!!

 

[5-ish Finkle]

3. STL rush D is averaging 120 ypg allowed4. STL allowed 5 rush TD's so far

That's what I was mulling. Plus, Favre is semi-gimpy. They could be running Morency into the ground this week.I think that 120 YPG against for St. Louis made up my mind for me.

 

[Saint]

I'm with on this... Needless to say I have a flex W/R position, which I had Driver in.. now I can put Morency in and let Driver sit.... woo hoo!

I'm starting Morency over KJ too. KJ looked much better last week, but the Vikes defense is a lot tougher.

 

[3C's]

this is going to turn into a trainwreck of a thread! Starting Morency over RB drafted in top 3 rounds (Jones, FWP, Edge).

And last year FWP wasn't drafted in the first 3 rounds but I think he made for a good start every now and then.

 

[RoarinSonoran]

I was just going to post that he seems to be getting the ball every play and making some good yardage (rushing and receiving), and then he fumbles.

I was thinking after 3 straight plays McCarthy would be smart enough to give him a play off.

[RKMoney]

To all the noobs who started him over guys you drafted in the top 1/4 of the draft...

 

[3C's]

He's running well....but he better start holding onto the dang ball.

 

[Fla\/\/ed]

I thought Morency was a major threat to take over for Ahman Green.
