For those of you wondering if it was safe to drop him in re-draft leagues, it is. Cards just announced Williams is done for the year.

Wow glad I dropped him now for a flier on Best. Is Powell next in line or Howling? Or does it even matter with that dismal OL?

I might be wrong but didn't Powell just suffer a concussion?

Or Alfonso Smith?And how long is Wells out?

I don't think it matters. I think Wells and Williams are both talented RBs but they were both pathetic this season. Something crazy could happen obviously but I would be surprised if anyone did well behind that offensive line. Then again, they do play the Bills next week so if something crazy's going to happen that's a pretty good time for it to occur.

It is not believed that Beanie Wells (toe) will need surgery.Wells' injury is being described as "severe turf toe." It's essentially a sprain or tear of the ligaments around the big toe, causing an inability to push off from the joint. "With the type of injury [Wells] has, we anticipate six to eight weeks at least before he'll be ready to go," coach Ken Whisenhunt said. "So if you look at where we still have games left, it will be good to have him back at that point." Sep 27 - 8:31 AM

This was reported two weeks ago, so it would be estimated to be another four to six weeks.

IF health is a skill - and we should consider it so, Williams is one of the several who obviously don't have it.
Sorry he didn't get the chance it looked like he would have this year

Well, as long as we are tossing out signing replacements: Free JSTEW. Send JSTEW and an o-lineman to Cards for Roberts or Floyd!Seriously though, it doesn't matter. Nothing short of a truly "really good" back coming into the dessert changes anything in their running game and even then, I'm not sure they could compensate for the line. So, Kevin Smith, A New England RB, JSTEW, Tate, etc, etc...doesn't matter.BTW, IF there is a RB on a team right now to be traded to the Cards, it would probably be a guy like Moreno (some guy that seems dead in the eyes of his current team tha tthe cards would actually say "maybe a change of scenery does him good").I could see a Steve Slaton signing here as well.

hightower is logical signing if healthy (which is doubtful being passed over by former team for Ryan grant)

Just a bit longer than that, actually.....Cardinals assigned RB Beanie Wells (turf toe) the "designated for return" tag on injured reserve.
Alfonso Smith has been signed to take his roster spot. It's a crushing blow for Wells' owners, as he can't resume practicing for six weeks, and won't be eligible to return until Week 12 against the Rams.

only guy on current roster id look at is LSH for possible value in ppr (along with few additional carries)

What a tease that 4-0 start was.

He's the only one I'd be interested in mainly because he might be the only RB they won't be afraid to throw the ball to. So he could get some cheap production in PPR leagues.

When the Skins signed Grant, Hightower needed surgery. Meaning, he had not yet had it.

Lets not get ridiculous people. Tatum Bell
AgreedETA: we aren't the only ones who know they can't run. The team knows it, the coaches know it. They will continue to throw40-50 times a game, and before they had to represent the run so LSH wasn't in much. If he came in, they watched him for the dump off. With him in full time, there will be times he gets the ball now because the back field won't change. The little dude is quick too!

I'm probably alone in this since I'm rebuilding, but I'm actually relieved since it means he's not going to re-injure his knee. This season was a loss fantasy-wise and I'd rather have him back two years removed from his injury with hopefully a better OL.

A rare case where a trade actually makes some sense. The Cardinals are a playoff contender and there are lots of backs out there who could instantly upgrade their pathetic RB situation.
The Saints have a loaded backfield and could probably do without Ingram, Ivory, or Thomas.
Philadelphia could part with Brown, Lewis, or Polk.
Bolden might be available from New England.
Moreno would be an upgrade from Denver.
And if they really want to go big, maybe they could strike up a deal for DeAngelo Williams.

The Saints aren't parting with Thomas. He's way too valuable. I doubt they would part with Ingram only a year removed from trading up to draft him.
Ivory makes the most sense. He has no role with the Saints, would be an upgrade for the Cardinals and should come cheap.

OK so right now LSH is getting first carry reps in practice.
Assuming this will be a RBBC until Wells returns, what could you expect out of LSH in PPR weekly?
Worth a flex?
Just trying to gauge how much value these guys have.

Interesting note about Stephens-Howling via Arizona Republic and RotoWorld. Given this news, I'm bowing out of the Arizona backfield. I'm not pursuing any of their RBs now. Good luck to all of you who want to dive into these waters.
According to the Arizona Republic, the Cardinals' coaching staff does not believe La'Rod Stephens-Howling is capable of holding up on 15 carries a game.
Stephens-Howling is expected to be the Cardinals' "starter" until Beanie Wells (turf toe) gets back after midseason, but he'll be far from a workhorse. He's 5'7/185, and coaches believe he "tends to wear down" over the course of seasons, even in a change-of-pace and kick return role. Beat writer Kent Somers believes the Cards "will have to add a back," naming Joseph Addai, Tim Hightower, Steve Slaton, and Cadillac Williams as possibilities.

Doubt the Saints would part with Ingram or Thomas right now. Ivory makes sense. Philly is very high on Brown, Lewis and Polk are not worth trading for. Not sure why in the world NE would trade Bolden right now. Moreno makes sense. Doubt the Cardinals would take on D-Will's salary.

The Rams trade the guy who's been the face of their franchise to a divisional rival? Don't see it happening.

The Rams are in the playoff hunt. I'd be shocked if they traded their best offensive player and possibly the only good one they have with Amendola hurt.
