thanks for the newsflash bro!

Here is the latest info I've seen.
According to Indianapolis Star beat writer Mike Chappell, eight-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Marvin Harrison (knee) has been ruled out of the game and will not accompany the team to Charlotte.
There was no comment from the team.
Harrison bruised his left knee Sept. 30 against Denver and missed the following game against Tampa Bay. He returned to the field last Monday night at Jacksonville, catching three passes for 16 yards, but did not practice all week.
Look for Anthony Gonzalez and Aaron Moorehead to see additional time at wideout with Dallas Clark likely to play an even more prominent role in the passing attack

Does that mean they are going to cut him this offseason and he will sign with the Patriots? That would be almost unfair to the rest of the league.

It's worth noting that Marvin is injured. There's a difference between diminishing skills and being hurt.
It is possible that he never gets back to top 5 status, but the current injury has everything to do with why he's not producing now. If he was completely healthy and posting 0 and 1 point games, that's different.

cant stand quotes like this. show some respect...its Marvin Harrison. all class for so long and about a jillion top 10 fantasy finishes under his belt.

I'm not quoting anyone. The truth is, no one wants him at this point. They seem him as an injured WR and nothing more. I retract the bum part.
No one has any interest in him in my league either. Oh well hopefully he puts a good game up before the trade deadline goes by. He did look ok before he got hurt.

best offer I got for him in a redraft was DeAngelo Williams.
I took it because I actually am that desperate.

Prior to his injury in a PPR league he had 32 pts over 3 games. That translates to roughly 75 FFpts (10.66 PPG) assuming he wasn't injured. He would rank 18th over all for Wr's.
I would say he's definately no longer a top 5 wide but certainly would top 20 if healthy.

Its funny, I tried trading FOR him a few days ago. I offered Henry/Selvin Young/Gates for Marvin/Marshawn Lynch. I thought it was fair. I didnt think it was lopsided in any which way (am I off?) and the guy basically laughed at me. Apparently I know nothing about trades. But I think his injury, as stated above, has much to do with it and not diminished skills. I think the returns to form when you need it most, playoff time.

Problem is.....many teams won't be making the playoffs because of his injury.....

i managed to get ride of him in week 6 for larry johnson...i packaged sammy morris in the trade as well. thats the week sammy ended up hurting his chest too. lucky me i guess

Ok, fair enough. But the guy I offered him to was middle of the road. He has depth at RB and would be getting Gates instead of Marvin (his TE is McMichael) so I though it would fill a need for both of us (i need RB). Apparently, no dice.

And if you're REALLY lucky, like me, you got him and Andre Johnson.I thought my team would be so great this year.

This is a very fair trade and actually favors the other guy more than you. As a Harrison owner, I would take that deal in a heartbeat under almost any circumstance. Gates>>>>>Harrison for the rest of the year and Henry/Young=Lynch. Not sure why you're even making this offer?
MCguidance

You could still get some value for those players. Teams that are in the lead may trade you for him and give up a slightly lesser player. And if you are not in the hunt, it will give you value to at least get in the hunt -- better than sitting it out come playoff time.And if you're REALLY lucky, like me, you got him and Andre Johnson.I thought my team would be so great this year.

Yup my season ended as well when I lost 7 out of my first 10 draft picks to injuries....And if you're REALLY lucky, like me, you got him and Andre Johnson.I thought my team would be so great this year.

My RBs STINK. I have Sjax and Henry/Young, Rhodes. If I dont get a RB like Lynch, I will rely on SY and I am not sold on that. Sure he has upside, but Lynch is solid week in week out, no? I am also thinking that Marvin has gas left in the tank. I am 2-5 and need a hail mary just to get into contention, I need to shake things up. Sjax killed me this year. Still a stupid trade, you think?
fred_1_15301

I wouldn't call it "stupid" but I think you're giving up too much. Gates is an absolute stud and I'd honestly take him over Harrison even in a TE/WR flex spot. He's a sure thing. We just don't know what Harrison will be the remainder of the year. You have SJAX but he's coming back this week so at least wait to see what he does. I personally think Henry/Young is equal to Lynch. Lynch hasn't broken 100 yds this year and he plays for the Bills.

Alright, thanks for the input, I think we hijacked this thread but whatever. In any event, the guy laughed at me and I wont be offering that trade up again. Thanks again and good luck tomorrow.

??? Look at the season he had last year. He was the top scoring WR in my fantasy league last year. While that doesn't mean he'll do well this year, it is at least plausible he would do 85% of last year's output. You can hardly attack FBG for that. Sheesh.

i traded for Harrison and r. brown and some how I am 6-1, might because of Brady. at this point I just want Harrison healthy for the FF playoffs

They should have taken a deeper look at how things were changing between Wayne and Harrison, that's why they get paid. Also, Randy Moss ranked as the 25th WR or so?
i love these boards. So many of you are all such extremists. If a guy gets hurt, he's done. If a guy runs for 200 yards, he's better than LT. It's sad really. Harrison will be fine, he got hurt. Get over it. The guy has been healthy his entire career pretty much. Maybe he misses the rest of the year, maybe he doesn't. But he is not finished. I would gladly take him on my team any day of the week. He is a workout warrior and 35 is not what it used to be in sports, especially at WR. He will come back and come back strong.
lol, things changing? Harrison has been hurt, that's been the main problem. People have been calling for the passing of the torch in Indy for the last couple of years already. It doesn't really matter for that O, it's a 1A-1B scenario. There's no way to prove if Harrison hadn't gotten injured if Wayne had become the main WR in Indy.
As for Randy Moss, you'll be hard pressed to find any fantasy publications who preseason ranked him #1WR, even top 3-5.

Relax people, Marvin will be fine.FBG's should have known Harrison was going to get injured. even though he's been a bastion of health his entire career. Yep, you got 'em in a box.

I got Kevin Jones for him, and Im happy with the deal.

Excellent move for you.
MCguidance

I really like that move. Unfortunately, in my 14 team league, no one willt trade. I have offered Curry and Henry/Young for Marvin and Leonard (I have Sjax) and the guy wouldnt budge. I though it was fair, but whatever. I like the move, nice job. And in no way is Marvin done for his career; probably not even this season, as I think he has a FF playoff run left in him.
