I heard that Walter Payton guy had a pretty nice game when he came down with the flu.

Didn't Jordan have one of his best games of all-time when he was sick?

Deuce McAllister had a good game with the flu a while back: http://scores.espn.go.com/nfl/recap?gameId=231005029

Pablo Sandoval had a great game last night vs. the Royals

That settles it for me. Ingram out, Vereen in.

 

[joffer]

I can golf really well when I'm hungover

 

[Run It Up]

I can't bring myself to start him over Forsett or Ingram this week. Matchup and situations are too good.

 

[SCT]

I've switched him ben and gio many times.

 

[dschuler]

He was taking first team reps this now

 

[need2know]

He was taking first team reps this now

what are you trying to say?

 

[GreenNGold]

Sounds like he was in on the first play and sitting since, hopefully he's ok

 

[Yenrub]

He wasn't in at the GL on the TD pass to Gronk

I think he is going to screw those who started him today

 

[SameSongNDance]

Injury or just game plan?

 

[Hoss Style]

He's in now, and getting lots of work. Just had a bad drop, but a nice run.

To me, it kind of looks like Belichick is trying to get Gray some work in, because he knows he'll need him as the season goes on. Vereen's getting in a lot as well, though. I'd guess 50/50 split, so far? That's just a guesstimate.

 

[Hoss Style]

Just wanted to add - good news for Vereen owners - he looks more explosive when compared to Gray - in the passing game and the running game.

 

[rickyg]

Jonas gray about to vulture him...to my dismay since I have vereen in my lineup and gray on my bench. Lol

He tried to,

I'm still glad that Vareen got the first shot, though. He was so close - a foot short, maybe.

 

[Hoss Style]

Good lord, that's another TD Vereen just missed by a foot.

 

[Run It Up]

Vereen getting plenty of looks in the redzone and on the goal line - very promising, especially with Gray looking so good.

 

[need2know]

prob wont see much more of him with this blowout

 

[Raider Nation]

Little man killed me today. 7.5 in a PPR when your team scores 51 ain't gonna cut it.

Next week against Denver will be a different story

 

[SameSongNDance]

Looks like CHI is just ####ting the bed regardless as to whether their home or away now. I hate that he's so game flow dependent but the upcoming stretch still screams shootout.

 

[need2know]

yes vs denver is all hands on deck. if you got pats or broncos you start em

but he's just a between the 20s guy?

 

[nastynate]

Glad I sat him this week...still not buying him as anything more than a flex option.

 

[tandl71]

He is a mirage. I think he's going to hurt a lot of teams that will rely on him.

Nope....there are not many rbs that have a better outlook than Vereen in ppr. Is he going to have a monster game every week? No, but he will for certain have a few more monster games this season.

Good luck with him. FBG has a Shane Vereen fetish (PPR top 200 forward, cheatsheets, draft ranking etc.) and I just can't buy into it in that backfield of his.

Yeah. Add in the fact he was not 100% too, he prob would have converted for 1 td. I think gray is going to get his carries, but the redzone carries seem to be split with Vereen also being the 3rd down back. Reminds me of how the colts are using bradshaw

I know that 2 of the carries (from the 2, and from the 1) were a result of NE running a hurry up, trying to catch Chicago unprepared. Vereen was the RB in the game, and therefore, he got the call.

Since I have no idea of what the Patriots are going to do with their RBs in a given week, I won't try to say this means Vereen is or isn't the GL back, but from that game, it was clear that Brady was hurrying the offense in those situations, so they don't really indicate that Vereen is "the man" at the stripe.

Who said that?

I think I said that, or something close to it, in August. [SIZE=14.2857141494751px]And I am pretty sure it took an injury to Ridley to provide all those opportunities that he failed to convert upon.[/SIZE]

Not sure what Larry's point is considering Vereen's production has not yet lived up to the hype of this thread.

Atter that showing maybe he'll become a between the 20s guy

 

[PatsWillWin]

Vereen gets looks near the goal line. He did when Ridley was healthy as well. He didn't do anything wrong at the goal line today, there just happened to be someone there to tackle him at/near the 1.

Twice. Less than a yard away.

Which happens to be the hardest way to score.

The hardest way to score? You know I meant a foot away from the opponents endzone, not his own, right? I believe that's one of many spots on the field that might be harder to score from.

Anyway, you misunderstood. The LoS wasn't less than a yard away. He made plays to get that close and got tackled. Just backing up the previous poster about Vereen getting chances to score.

Getting very frustrated here.

[Chaka]

Really Larry? This is what you were hoping for? Sure he's been fine and all but I got the feeling that most people's expectations were higher.Guess not.

 

[elbowrm]

I show him as RB11 in my PPR league for week 9 - hard to see that as anything other than a great week. Not sure what your expectations were.

 

[SCT]

Anyone else think this could be a big Vereen game with Detroit's pass rush requiring Brady to make a lot of dump passes, etc.? Torn on him, McKinnon, or Gtate at flex.

Yep.

Running the ball against the Motor City Kitties is tough, so this is likely a Vereen-schemed game plan.

With an aggressive pass rush, Brady will have to get the ball out quick, and I'd expect a lot of catches in the flat to Vereen.

 

[nastynate]

I'm between him and Lafell in my flex. NOt sure I can trust either, but it pains me to go Vereen.

 

[Chaka]

At this rate he should get his 80th reception by the early 4th quarter of week 22.

On the one hand I agree. On the other, when have any of us ever successfully predicted a "Vereen game" this year? How many people saw the "Gray game" coming last week?

 

[Ilov80s]

Damn it, my title game is week 21.

 

[Kool-Aid Larry]

Our unofficial count of snaps, including penalties, looked like this: Vereen (62), LeGarrette Blount (17), Brandon Bolden (2) and Gray (0).

pretty much as expected vs det

and 8 grabs -- holla

Who is starting him today? Bloom seems to be big on him as well. He might be on your waivers.....

 

[Meatwad Reloaded]

I really cannot bring myself to do it. He has been below average for many, many weeks now. I guess if you are choosing from some weak options it would be a logical choice.
