I'm not sure what Beanie's skillset even is. What has he actually shown he can do? Not much.

Already forgotten Beanie at the end of 2009? Short memories...

People have such short memories in fantasy football. When healthy in 2009, Beanie looked more than good enough to be a starting back in the NFL.

I know it's cold but....
Beanie moves into tier 3 category. I might take him above Michael Turner, who looks slow, or Jahvid Best, who may have suffered a concussion. Wells is up there with Blount, Ingram, and Hillis. In a non PPR league, with a new QB, maybe he's better than all of them...

I could see a situation that happened with TB last year - where ARI will pick someone up off waivers. No way they have Larod or alfonso as their #2.

I don't know much about Beanie but I do know he's labeled as injury prone but I'm confused as to the reason. He has been in the league 2 years and played all 16 games his first year and missed 3 the second year. Is it just those 3 games that has made him "injury prone". What am I missing?
crazy talk. turner is a legit top 10 rb in non ppr top 15 in ppr & 3 years removed from a terrific season. i dont know about best either. what has beanie EVER proven so far...

Turner looked extremely slow last night, lacked power, and didn't finish runs. Beanie was a beast at the end of 2009, has looked pretty good so far in the preseason, and his competition is gone. Fantasy is about the future, not the past.I wouldn't be surprised at all if Beanie finished higher than Turner.'lexdizzle said:

From Kent Somers:
A ruptured patellar tendon is such an unusual injury that a busy orthopedic surgeon might see only a handful of them in a year.
Cardinals running back Ryan Williams suffered one in his right knee on Friday night and is expected to undergo surgery early this week, coach Ken Whisenhunt said.
I was able to reach Dr. Daniel Kharrazi, orthopedic surgeon at the Kerlan-Jobe Orthopaedic Clinic in Los Angeles, to briefly explain the surgery and the rehab timeframe Williams faces.
"The surgery itself is not very difficult," Dr. Kharrazi said. "You basically reconstruct the mechanism that allows you to extend your leg when you run. When the tendon ruptures, it gets a little frayed. You clean up the tendon, drill holes through the patella, or the kneecap, and reattach the tendon."
The hard part comes after surgery. The leg is immobilized in a brace for a month. After the tendon has healed, usually a total of six to eight weeks after surgery, then the patient can begin rehab, Dr. Kharrazi said.
"The No. 1 thing is, when you are in a brace for that long, you have a lot of quadricep atrophy. That's what takes two to three months."
So a patient is looking at "five to six months" between surgery and the time he can return to the level of his previous activity. If all goes well, Williams should be able to return to action in 2012 with no problem, Dr. Kharrazi said.
"I don't think he'll miss a beat," he said.

One thing that I like to point out is that Ryan Williams does have a great work ethics and is able to play with injuries (like he did with a slight torn hamstring last year at Virginia Tech). However, a patellar tendon injury is very injury and I can only hope he would come back stronger.
