It's not as easy as that, you saw who Detroit had to bring in when LeShoure went down. Beanie Wells will get his shot to carry the load for the Cardinals and folks will see if he'll be able to carry that load.Tough break for Ryan Williams, you have to feel bad for the guy.
Some Dynasty Leagues have Taxi players who were drafted the previous year(s). Just because a rookie is on our roster before the end of August doesn't mean the "Rookie" draft was before the end of August.
Agreed, no doubt it SUCKS. Sorry for your loss.

No way they go into the season with an injury-prone/risk Beanie and table scraps... Terrible news for williams
I just came on to post that a Slaton trade would be my guess... that hammy is a problem though.
?????
Yeah, apparently that's how we're supposed to be in this thread. Hold on while I go put on black and just say nice things about Williams. That's allowable.
You've been around here long enough to know what I mean. No one cares about the implications to your draft, your team, your trades.General discussion of the AZ RB situation is perfectly fine.
I obviously did not know what you mean. I stand corrected, I guess. I think I'll go to bed now.
Sorta agree with Tim here... at least in 12 team leagues. FBG Has ARI Backfield projected out at: (roughly, though this subscriber content is about to change so I don't feel bad)Beanie 170/700/6Williams 150/670/5LSH 35/150No way LSH walks right into williams role so you gotta figure it's safe to assume Beanie is now pushing 200-220 carries easy....even if they grab some random to backfillBEanie is now looking at 900 on up to 1000 yards rushing and 7-8 TDs (conservatively) with some downside due to injury risk... very roughly in the RB20 range. Imo this bumps him from ~90 to ~45ish.... halving his ADP. Very rough thoughts... it's late
Soft is not a quantifiable stat. He is soft in that he should be limited in the number of carries. Not in his style. I dont believe he can be a teams bell cow for an entire season. He was soft at Ohio State and has been thus far in the NFL. The fact that he plays injured doesnt make him tough, "NFL football tough". SJax is tough, Adrian Peterson is tough, they play injured all the time, and still "play well". Beanie has to be 100% healthy at all times to be productive. He did have a nice (3) 100+ yd games in the end of 09' but so did Mike Goodson in 10', doesnt make him a world beater.
Yeah I don't get all this Beanie is an injury risk, like Williams wasn't or is and he will be one next year. Wells gets 240 carries this year for 1056 yrds 40 catches for 252 yrds and 12 TDs
This is nowhere close to true - still has a bad offensive line and a quarterback learning a new system AND Wells has injury history himself and has yet to prove anything.
Doubtful. Rumor is he's completely out of shape (worked out with Patriots)I think Kevin Smith or Westbrook (more likely in shape than Portis) as early down insurance.
. anyway, a couple of months after surgery i could walk without crutches - its all a gradual range of motion thing with the brace. after 7 months i felt like new. now i wasn't playing contact sports, nor am i as athletic as anyone in the nfl (including kickers) - they brought me along gradually. i put in some decent work to get back to speed and was able to run, jump and cycle after 7 months. as i said, i'm not an athletic person - the most athletic thing i was doing at the time was probably snowboarding (before incident) or biking around the streets of milwaukee. i was able to bounce around, dance to techno music and run from cops. i was back to normal at 7 months.
Nope. He got snatched up by Balt
I don't think you have your info straight. Not a pec (if you mean chest). It's a patella tendon, a very serious injury with a long rehab.

And it has nothing to do with the lack of work. Another player landed on top of his leg.

sorry, I read it to fast.. ouch.
Pre-injury, my prediction was that Beanie would get the chance to be the guy early in the year. The first three Cards games are against Carolina, Washington, and Seattle, and he should do pretty well in those games. Assuming he didn't get hurt or fumble too much, he would continue to get the majority of the carries while they brought Williams along slowly - specifically because Wiz does not like to play rookies early.It's hard to say what would have happened at the end of the year and into next, but for this year, I saw Beanie with those numbers with Williams coming on stronger at the end of the year.Remember that Beanie had about 800 and 8 his rookie year and still wasn't "the guy."
Why? He averaged 4.5 YPC his rookie year on 176 carries.
Honestly, given the fact that some (like RW) are saying "potentially career threatening" and that with the long rehab, next year isn't even guaranteed - it might be much further down...if at all.
Its really not classless if you're playing in competitive leagues with die-hard owners who have been doing this for a long time. Owners should be responsible for their own teams, that's what they pay for. Might be different if you're playing with a bunch of first-timers. Where do you draw the line and let them manage their own team? Maybe $100 is a little steep if owners don't know what they are doing?Thanks for judging though.'timschochet said:
