RB Tyjae Spears, TEN (1 Viewer)

Who else are people playing Spears over - debating him in a huge spot and interested to see what others are thinking

Over Tracy, Guerendo, and Hunt in the only league I own, as a replacement for Hubbard.

I am trying to decide Guerendo vs Spears. Any thoughts from peanut gallery?

Debating between Spears and Jacobs only because of the better matchup Tyjae has. Will likely stick with Jacobs but the Pollard news has me thinking about it.

That’s the way I’m feeling about Spears over Cook or McLaurin.

Think I’d rather lose with the more proven Cook and McLaurin than take a risk with the less proven Spears if he and the TEN offense face plants.

Spears over achane??

Spears over achane??

I'm doing just this. Achane is a stud that has carried my team to the championship game, but after game results from Wed - Sat, I'm projected to lose by over 30 points. I have to prioritize upside. I believe the Dolphins offensive ceiling is capped without Tua, and the feeble Browns offense will certainly not push them.

It may be wishcasting, but Spears should be able to take on Pollard's workload and produce against the Jags.

So the guardian helmet didn't help?

ETA: Really unfortunate for Spears, as he was balling, and is such a likeable player.

I was wondering what happened to Spears, hopefully the next generation of guardian caps are in the works.

It's limited. Not sure how much it can help. A dive is a dive. Guys smashing into each other etc.

The internal impact of the brain smashing into the skull is just as damaging at the external blunt force. There's no guardian cap to put around your brain. The only solution is to not play.

But couldn't some devices absorb the impact better, meaning lessen the deceleration, which lessens the internal impact too?

We used to consider helmet news a big deal and posted links to the NFL (Riddel) studies here. Another from Harvard became common too.

Some of it I understood as similar to physics class- dropping egg off bleachers- but some I didn't. Did you do this experiment/contest in high school?

The brain is like protecting the yolk.

Anywho I won't pretend I can explain but hundreds of millions have been spent and it's an interesting read if ya feel like sitting down n learning

I suppose that's possible in theory but my understanding of what you're describing (and I'm by no means a physics guy) is that the added shock absorption will cushion the blow as far as the blunt force external trauma is concerned, but not sure it will do much with regards to stopping or slowing the speed in which the head ends up jarring, inevitably causing that internal brain movement.

I guess I'm likening my explanation to that of a boxer - if a guy is getting punched and his head is snapping around causing internal brain movement, no headgear in the world is going to stop that. It'll lessen the external forces, but having a better foundation of strength in his head/neck musculature would allow for better resistance to those forces from the punch.

Man. That’s a bummer. But he’s just Mr Glass at this point.

Yeah, stinks, but he's either got the label or he's going to get it this off-season.

A young back can only miss so much time
