Shane Veeren OUT till Week 11 (Short-Term IR) (1 Viewer)

[Foster335]

Well, with how well my teams did yesterday, I should have been expecting the other shoe to drop. As someone else mentioned, its not necessarily the several weeks' time he's going to miss, its how he's going to be utilized once he returns that makes me nervous.

 

[Bigboy10182000]

Any chance he'll be back by week 5?

I'm sure there's a chance but we'll be the last ones to know.

I actually have Vereen, Amendola, Gronk and Sudfield

 

[Anarchy99]

Boston Herald reporting Vereen will be out "at least 4 weeks."

[Banger]

ugh...keeps getting better.

 

[JFS171]

Bolden feels like the play here, but what's up with his injury? Anyone have any insight?

Toughest team to get clear injury info from in football...

Edelman.

Not a RB, but might be the play.

While I agree, he's owned in my deeper leagues.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

No good. No good at all.

 

[Dinsy Ejotuz]

Offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels said Monday no decisions have yet been made on when Ridley might re-enter the lineup. "Stevan's got to do a better job of holding on to the football," McDaniels said. "He knows that. And we'll work hard with him on that."

 

[SeniorVBDStudent]

Leon was only cut to avoid full year salary gaurantee.

 

[Anarchy99]

Leon was only cut to avoid full year salary gaurantee.

Except they re-signed him before the first game, which makes his 2013 salary (whatever the latest total was) guaranteed.

 

[StopTradingMeTebow]

Saw this early AM. My sphincter split atoms.

Took a chance on Wilson in a few leagues and he starts out shatting the walls of the stadium.

Ridley? He shat on the ceiling.

At least I picked up Vereen in most late just for this reason aaaaaaaaaaaaand....

Prison rape.

 

[dcgangstas]

Damnit. Vereen was a Top 15 RB just waiting to happen.

 

[Papa Georgio]

Vereen has had a problem staying healthy in limited work. Too bad for him I thought he looked really good and I'm a Ridley owner.

 

[JaxBill]

What role does Brando Bolden play and how healthy is he?

 

[HULLOBUDMAN]

What role does Brando Bolden play and how healthy is he?

This is a good question. Does Yudkin still post around here? My bet is neither Wasington nor Bolden will fill his slot but a combo of both. David as much insight in the the Pats as any I have seen around here.

 

[KCitons]

Was hoping to sell high on Vereen after week one. Looks like that plan will have to wait.

 

[FF Ninja]

What role does Brando Bolden play and how healthy is he?

I thought he was a healthy scratch week 1. Will Blount get another shot after floundering his first shot?

Bolden's been dealing with a knee issue. I believe he was listed as Q, then scratched. Would like to see him get some time. Looked pretty strong last year before the injury/PED suspension.

Jfc

jersey fried chicken? is it good?

Sorry, "just friggin comeback".

sorry, "thanks for clarifying. I didn't get it at first but now I understand"

 

[Widbil83]

Is picking up Washington the play here or Bolden?

 

[lukinrats]

Looks like 8 now

 

[DocHoliday]

Just listened to some news on the radio here... Vereen placed on the "IR" designated to return... WOW!!!

8 Weeks ?

 

[BroadwayG]

So likely out until after the week 10 bye. Ugh.

 

[KellysHeroes]

Patriots placed RB Shane Vereen (wrist surgery) on injured reserve/designated to return.

drafted as an RB3 for most teams, useless now

 

[KellysHeroes]

Leon was only cut to avoid full year salary gaurantee.

Except they re-signed him before the first game, which makes his 2013 salary (whatever the latest total was) guaranteed.

I f-ing swear, they cut Leon just to trick me into dropping him to waivers where now I gotta battle to get him back

 

[KCitons]

Best case scenario. I can limp towards the playoffs and get fresh Vereen and Harvin back when everyone else is hitting the wall.

 

[JFS171]

Still think Bolden is the play...

Reiss even mentioned the same in his piece on ESPN Boston. It's a matter of Bolden getting healthy.

 

[Ketamine Dreams]

Dead weight for >10 weeks. Just wonderful... Anyone cutting him?

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

So likely out until after the week 10 bye. Ugh.

Week 11.

Drop or hold. Great.

 

[pfalvey]

Do they have to keep him on IR a certain amount of time or can they active him when he's ready (say, in 4 weeks, for example)?

Bolden over Blount? I got first ww pick and it's a desert out there with 22 roster.

Week 11.

Drop or hold. Great.

Short benches. Cutting bait. F!

 

[Craig_MiamiFL]

Or more of your players get hurt, you waste roster spots on Vereen/Harvin before dropping them to cover byes weeks as you're 1-5 on life support.

Or Vereen/Harvin have complications 6-8 weeks from now and returns delayed and don't come back at all.

Losing a relatively high RB PPR pick (who looked like gold Week 1) for 10 weeks (when talk was 2-3) isn't the best case scenario.

 

[KellysHeroes]

with the new Short-Term IR might have to add IR to redrafts.

It is in a salary/contract league where Vereen is signed to a 4 year contract. Not so funny now, is it?

I don't play in 8 team leagues. Where WW is full of #2 or #3 RB's

Yeah, bloody hell.

That was looking awesome too.

the infamous week 11 fantasy wall

 

[Anarchy99]

Teams cannot active sooner, she he has to be out until week 11 (basically minimum of 8 weeks but Pats have a bye week 10).

Do you get the impression that the injury was much worse than expected, or that it's "next man up" for them?

Bolden over Blount? I got first ww pick and it's a desert out there with 22 roster.

I would think Bolden, as he is the better receiver.

Thanks....and I'm in PPR so sounds like it could work out.

He has to be on IR for eight weeks and cannot practice for the first six weeks of that.

You're going to spend your #1 pick on a backup RB who is currently injured and will most likely return as a third string RB?

You must.

 

[need2know]

Is he droppable in redraft? Seems like a long time to hold him

 

[AZhardballz]

Is droppable depending on how deep your bench is and what players you have left on your bench I would imagine. I think I will drop him in my 12 team- 18 spot roster. But it sure sucks.

 

[Phenix]

I cut him, how can u roster a guy who will be out 10 weeks?

Also, buy low on Ridley, Vereen out and the hate still continues. Players fumble, its football get over it.

He was benched his one game, he is gonna be back to 1200 type back again this week.

 

[GulfTider]

Bolden seems to be the play. He looked like he was about to take the job from Ridley last year, before his knee injury in the Seattle game. He appears to be made of glass though.
