Well of course it could happen during the season, but if you dont have to why deal with this #### during these meaningless games?

Because it works both ways. The guy that drafted Wells got a steal now.

Same injury as Cadillac's
What a shame.
What a shame.

Right. Because I care that much about the way I'm perceived on an online message board/site that I know next to nothing about filled with people I'll never meet.In any case, Mark Clayton suffered the same injury last year and is still working his way back. Could put next year in jeopardy.......sure you did

Some of you guys freak me out. My draft is Sunday, and if somebody selects Ryan Williams I will inform them that he is injured and allow them to pick again (I'm commish). It's a money league, sure, but none of us want to win that way. Some of you guys...damn.

Instead of letting them re-pick, just state that he ruptured his PCL and is out for the year. You don't have to be a ####, but you also don't need to baby owners that don't pay attention.

Two promising rookies out before they even take a snap in a regular season game. Sucks. At least they're millionaires, though.

You mean state before the draft starts? I didn't think of that. We've never done it that way. Maybe I will though.

Let it go Connskins....no need to take it personally.

Maybe you should pick for them.

He means if someone picks Williams, inform them of the injury but don't let them repick. In other words, rub it in.

Yeah, no. I don't think so. How classless.

I'm not taking it personally. I honestly, calmly, dispassionately find you to be a bit of a scumbag.Because you not only did it--You also had the gall to log right on to a message board you hardly ever post on in order to brag about it.
TheFootballJesus

You're completely entitled to that opinion- but I don't really see how calling me a loser, scumbag, and jackass in 3 one/two sentence consecutive posts fits any definition of calm or dispassionate discourse.If you really feel the need to continue being self-righteous/inform me of your opinion of fantasy football ethics feel free to message me.

Its not as bad as an achilles tear. He'll be back. Its just a question of when, and how good he'll be.

It isn't classless. If you are going to play FF, you should do your homework. If you don't this kind of stuff happens. Letting someone re-pick is pretty Mickey Mouse.

I'm good on that. I think I got my point across. I can also use a descriptor of someone's character without being emotional about it. Sometimes the shoe just fits.

It'll be interesting to see if this is the general consensus before preseason ends. Because getting lost among all this is the fact that Beanie has looked good.

Nate Allen tore his last year and he seems to be close to 100% if not 100% recovered.
Words I never thought I'd agree with... and I'm a Beanie Owner.

Man, that's too bad.
I was looking forward to watching him and Leshoure. Hopefully they bounce back next season or so.

Well then I guess I'm Mickey Mouse. We're a 10 player, redraft league. It's $100 per player, but our interest is casual. We're all friends, and while we're highly competitive, we don't screw around with stuff like that. Every year somebody drops out and we get new people. This year we have 4 new people, 2 of whom have never played FF before. If somebody picks Ryan Williams Sunday night, and I don't allow them to re-pick, there will be bad feelings all around. It's not worth it to me to do that.

I have one DYnasty league (my local one) that does not do our rookie/free agent draft till after the 3rd pre-season game.THIS IS WHY.I don't like drafting in May or June....or even July. But all my other Dynasty (4 others) leagues do. Tough pill to swallow indeed.

I almost made a panic trade for Benson today to fill my RB2 "hole". I have Beanie, but wasn't totally confident that I'd be able to rely on him past week 5-6 once Williams started getting a chunk of the carries, whether Beanie was playing well or not. It was good value for Benson I think, but I'm going to hold off now. I like the future prospects of Powell and Carter too much to send them for a 28-year old bandaid, especially now that Beanie looks more viable than ever.

Somebody been drinking a little too much of the Beanie Kool-aid? Borderline #1 RB, sorry I throughly disagree. Beanie was soft before the Ryan Williams injury and still is now. As far as Williams, feel so bad for the kid,was expecting big things from him this year. Hopefully he makes a speedy and successful recovery.

Not to take pleasure in someone's pain, buuuut....Beanie owner in 3 dynasty leagues.

Why? Isn't one of the points of a dynasty league to mimic as much as possible an NFL team? If an NFL team has to suffer the loss of a player, why not a fantasy dynasty team? Managing your team after the loss of a player is what separates the men from the boys.

I move Beanie up from an RB4 to a low end RB2 high end RB3. More valuable for sure, but not an RB1.

Tim Hightower anyone? Wow do they wish they didn't move him now. Not sure why they would trade there most productive back like that anyways. Washington seems quite happy though.

Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt revealed after Friday night's preseason game that Ryan Williams "probably" has a torn patellar tendon.
Analysis: It's a season-ending and potentially career-threatening injury depending on Williams' recovery process. The good news is that Williams is still just 21 years old, and the injury is occurring now as opposed to November. He'll have a better chance to be healthy by the start of 2012 training camp. The bad news is that Williams will need major knee surgery and his rookie season in the NFL will be a washout. Beanie Wells will dominate carries in Arizona this year.

When did Beanie become "soft"? Was it when he played injured all of last season and didn't look as good as he did the end of the season prior?
He played through injury all year, which makes him tough. But he didn't look as good or run as hard because of the injury, so he's soft.
Can't have it both ways. Why is he soft? Didn't look soft when he was healthy at the end of '09.

Kind of stinks to see folks cheering that own Beanie Wells.
I thought Williams had a chance to do something in AZ. Wonder who they sign to bring in. Lot of teams with extra RBs, maybe time to ask Carolina if they want to turn loose someone. Howling is OK but I wouldn't want to see him carrying a big load for them.

He came INTO the league with a reputation (fair or unfair) for being soft.

Sorry, but I am a Wells fan and never thought he got a fair shake after tearing it up his rookie year and then getting injured himself in the preseason last year and stinking it up all year as a result.Do I take pleasure in Williams' pain? No. But am I glad that my RB4 is suddenly a RB2? Heck yes. Sorry, but I don't know Ryan Williams, and I certainly have more sympathy for people in much worse troubles financially and with their own health than a 21 year old millionaire. Even if he never plays again, it will not affect his quality of life, and he will have made more for doing NOTHING than a lot of people make their entire lives.

Nice. Some people moved away this year. But go on believing I'm not worthy of your serious Fantasy Football leagues.

Yeah I take care of that. Still..sucks. Men from the boys? We have 22 roster spots. You need enough depth to overcome those...I get it. But what about if it was a number one pick...it can be sickening.Read my post...all my dynasty leagues save for one drafts early. And it has only bitten me 2 times in 7 years. But it still SUCKS.LOL.

I can't. If I could, he'd be a low end RB1 high end RB2.

TreatmentPatellar tendon rupture must be treated through surgery. In the surgery, an incision is made in the skin over the rupture, the site of which is identified. The tendons are retracted so surgeons may inspect the femur. The tendon ends are then sewn together.A cast or brace is then put over where the operation took place. The cast or brace remains for at least 6 weeks followed by an unidentified time of rehabilitation of the knee.The usual risks of surgery are involved including: infection, stiffness, suture reaction, failure of satisfactory healing, risks of anesthesia, phlebitis, pulmonary embolus, and persistent pain or weakness after the injury and repair.If the tendon rupture is a partial tear (without the two parts of the tendon being separated) then non-surgical methods of treatment may suffice. The future of non-surgical care for partial patella tendon ruptures is likely bioengineering. Ligament reconstruction is possible using mesenchymal stem cells and a silk scaffold.[1] These same stem cells were capable of seeding repair of damaged animal tendons.[2]
