Warrick Dunn status for week 17? (1 Viewer)

Trying to figure out who to start in week 17 here. Any word on Dunn? I know he tweaked his hamstring in week 15 but started and played all of wek 16. Update?

 
Ive havent read team practice updates as of yet, but he should be starting and sharing time with Duckett vs Carolina. Im not sure what his pain threashold is dealing with knee/hamstring issues- he wont be 100%. I leaning on starting him hoping he has something left in the tank, in a game where the Falcons will go all out in I believe.

 
With absolutely nothing to play for, I don't see any reason Dunn will get used too much.If the Falcons were smart they'd pound the ball with Duckett to see what he can do prior to making any offseason decisions on Dunn.

 
I agree.... I would like to see what Duckett can do getting 20-25 carries a game. I cannot remember the last time that happened. Unless i'm missing something, Dunn did not even show up on the injury report this week.

 
From Mora press conference yesterday:

Jim Mora: We have no changes on the injury list, although Kynan (Forney) did practice today and he is still listed as questionable. Other than that, it was another good day of work. I like the way they focused in and put the Tampa game behind them. I think we're anxious to play. We're excited to play.Q: Warrick Dunn is just 113 yards short of 1,500 yards. Do you think that will silence some of his critics?Mora: There is nothing the guy has to prove to us or anyone out there. I think he has proven what type of player he is in this League, but it sure would be neat for him to have 1,500 in the record books and for him. So, when he looks back after his career, he can tell his grandkids that he rushed for 1,500 yards in 2005. I think everyone just knows how special he is regardless of that number being beside his name.
First positive news I've heard in a couple of weeks for Dunn. :thumbup:
 
well I guess I am the only one in the free world who cares about Dunn's status. I'm going to go jump off a bridge now.

 
Dude- Im in a total bind with dunn as well- its either him or Adrian Peterson!?! The news quote from Mora and getting 1500yds was interesting. He didnt state any limitations- also a plus would be Dan Morgan the Panthers star linebacker is doubtful for this game. Im leaning on playing Dunn I think.

 
He has hammy/knee issues, Im guessing the hammy is the main concern. Im wondering what type of treatment is being administered- possibly needle therapy?

 
I've heard nothing. Is he practicing? Did Duckett get snaps with 1st team? Is he alive? I mean WTF???? Anynone??? :wall: :wall: :wall:

 
I'm benching Dunn, but I need a miracle, I need Atlanta to fold, and Steve Smith have a 40 point game.Starting Frank Gore over Dunn too. I need Atlanta to crap out, this week ... behind by 40 from last week (used to Steve Smith getting more than 1 friggin point!), facing Vick. I could regret it, but I need a shut out there.Everything went wrong for me last week, the Giants lost, the AZ Wildcats almost lost and look bad (no longer top 25, for the first time in like .... ever). I bet $25 on San Diego and they choked. Steve Smith got ejected for gently touching a ref on the shoulder. It just all went bad for me last week.Luckily, I have this week ... and only if Atlanta chokes, and AZ (Boldin) chokes, and Steve Smith and Frank Gore make up for lost time ....I'm down 40 ... Dunn might not even play much, I hope Vick takes time off too.That's right, my season comes down to Gus Ferotte and Frank Gore ... but maybe there is an elegance of playing those players at the right time (Moats killed me last week! Had I started Julius Jones over Steve Smith last week, I'd be down by 5 or 6 points, instead of 40) but I have a different strategy this week. Balls out. Nobody would start JJ over Smith last week. I need a big comeback kinda score from Smith. Need Atlanta to get shut out. Vick chokes. Miami, to pass a lot to everyone but Chambers .... and Giants D to ruin Kerry Collins's last attempt to prove he's not a drunk.Could happen. I need a 40 point swing this week to win my 1 and only league. I wont be happy with 2nd place. Steve Smith owners .... I feel your pain. Didn't look that bad to me, but we don't know what he said.Good luck to all of you with a 2 week Superbowl ..... and c'mon Steve Smith! I need you!

I care, but since I can't play Edge or ANderson, I have to start him regardless. :( Still nothing in my player notes about him not starting and Eric Karabel metions him as a decent start in an article just put out yesterday. SO my guess is he'll play, butr won't put up great numbers :shrug:

 
I care.I think he's playing.No reports on him not practicing. Which we would have herd of.There is a report on ATL's site that Mora thinks he can get 1500 rushing yards, he needs 113 on sunday to get it.I'm starting him unless I hear something before kickoff on sunday

ooh, that's promising! Just relized I have to use him in both leagues, because I can't use Jordan in my other one.

It's either Dunn of Coles for me. Same as you, unless I hear some discouraging news I amgoing to chance it with Dunn. Hopefullyhe can break one from 12-20 yards out. Car def is banged up.
 
as per usualy when the Falcons play, I expect to see a fair about of Duckett today.... but I will sontinue to start Dunn none the less.
