Turner/Snelling owners withn no other options, (1 Viewer)

Starting Kevin Smith Thursday and will keep Ray Rice in today.

Playing the Snelling owner and grinning like a cheshire cat.

 
Someone posted in the Turner injury thread (it will get deleted; already been cleaned up twice this morning) that late last year there was a similar situation with MB3/Choice. Barber got the start, and most Tashard owners sat him.

Marion had 2 points, and his backup had 25.

Just sayin'...Snelling may still get plenty of work, with Turner and Norwood taking 5-10 touches just to test them out. This of course assumes TB doesn't play like they did against the Pack.

 
Not sure how good the girl doing injury reports on ESPN is, but sounds like she isn't really buying a healthy Turner.

 
No offense to anyone here, but the consensus hasn't exactly worked out most weeks this season. I tend to think that Turner will start and produce at a top level. But I also can't risk taking any risks with just two weeks left and in a dogfight for my division title. I'm starting Jamaal Charles over Turner which is a huge risk in its own right since I'm also starting Chris Chambers. If you're starting two KC players in a given week, your chances for success should be considered quite limited.

Good luck to all! :banned:

Exactly, with the information you have and the matchup, what else can you do. You hope that the Falcons are starting Turner not out of desperation in a must win situation but because he appears to be able to carry the load. It does seem this year that teams have sat star players like a Big Ben or a Mike Westbrook if they don't appear to be ready to go. I'll be pissed if I see in the 1st quarter Turner's limping around and he's out for the game. Just enough damage for most Snelling owners to bench their guy and enough bait for Turner owners to insert their stud versus a horrendous run D.

And no offense to you.....but it makes no sense that you think Turner is going to produce at a top level against a bottom level run D and you're benching him in favor of Charles.

Let me clarify:The consensus seems to be that you can't risk playing Turner if you have other viable options. I think Turner will buck the consensus and have a great game. I just can't take the chance that he reaggravates the injury and I'm sitting around not getting points at a critical position during a critical spot.My dig at consensus plays is that most weeks, the consensus has seemed off (like when people were benching Betts with an ankle injury playing in the mud and he had a huge game).
 
Starting Cartwright over Snelling because I feel that Turner could have a great day. There's too much unpredictability here. I remember starting Harrison over J. Lewis the first game that Lewis came back from injury. Harrison had been putting up great numbers and Lewis had been mediocre before his injury. However, when Lewis came back and was predicted by most people here and elsewhere to have a smaller role that game, Harrison hardly got any carries. Different players on different teams, but I'm going with a sure starter today instead of the risky play despite the matchups.

 
its onething to run around the practice field...its an entirely different situation to get tackled by 3 or 4 nfl defendersand all that wieght on a high ankle sprain...i can see turner lasting a series or 2 then coming out..talk about FUBAR :unsure:

 
I have Turner in one league and picked up Snelling a couple weeks back in my other league. As of right now I'm starting each of them as flex players and will see what happens. ;)

 
Am I the only rube starting both Snelling and Turner? We can start three WR or three RB, and I'm going with both of the Atlanta RB plus Thomas Jones, and yanking Steve Smith (CAR) out. I figure Smith won't do much today anyway.

Agree. As someone who played BB and have had many Ankle sprains, when it's hurt, it's very easy to re hurt. Granted I never had NFL type rehab.
 
I own Snelling... sitting him for other options...

I can't see ATL risking Turner if he's not able to carry the load.. Snelling and Norwood being back and TB is NOT a major threat to win this game... if ATL isn't confident they can put them away they must already think they're out of the playoff race anyway--cause its not going to get EASIER than TB.

So--the fact that Turner is playing IMO they must think he's good to go and carry the load... and Norwood will get a few carries mixed in. Snelling goes back to being Mr. Irrelevant... :football:

Has Snelling's value been reduced to nothing now?

I wouldn't think so.we don't know what's going on w/turner's ankle.I wouldn't say snelling is a great option, but if turner comes back in a couple weeks, tweaks the ankle again, and opens the door for snelling in w16 vs buffalo, then you've got something.in the meantime, I'd say he has some marginal random value just because turner might be out.
 
I'll probably make a move for Norwood

Rice #1, Kev Smith/Jamaal Charles #2...doubt I ever use him, but might as well pick him up as a block, I don't have any other needs
