Week 2 Actives & Inactives -- discussion (1 Viewer)

[Maurile Tremblay]

News-based threads for individual players were useful before everyone could find info on a player by searching Twitter or Google News.

We'll do things a bit differently this time. Let's consolidate all the individual threads into one, and let's open up the discussion from mere news updates to evaluation of which players may be limited even if they play, how one player's absence will affect another player's prospects, etc.

Still, though, make sure that your comments are applicable to fantasy football generally, and are not simply about your own team or your own situation.

Fantasy-worthy players who are listed as questionable or doubtful this week:

1pm - Arian Foster [Q] - RB, MIA - Active
1pm - Breshad Perriman [Q] - WR, BAL - Active
1pm - Chris Hogan [Q] - WR, NE - Active
1pm - Cole Wick [Q] - TE, DET - OUT
1pm - DeVante Parker [Q] - WR, MIA - Active
1pm - Jamaal Charles [D] - RB, KC - OUT
1pm - Jonathan Stewart [Q] - RB, CAR - Active
1pm - Jordan Cameron [Q] - TE, MIA - Active
1pm - Josh Doctson [Q] - WR, WAS - Active
1pm - Markus Wheaton [Q] - WR, PIT - OUT
1pm - Rob Gronkowski [Q] - TE, NE - OUT

4pm - C.J. Prosise [Q] - RB, SEA - OUT
4pm - Demaryius Thomas [Q] - WR, DEN - Active
4pm - J.J. Nelson [Q] - WR, ARI - OUT
4pm - Pharoh Cooper [D] - WR, LA - OUT

Demaryius Thomas has a terrific matchup, but his hip injury is scaring me off of him where I have good alternatives.

He's expected to play, but how effective will he be? Let's see how he looks in warm-ups...

I liked the individual threads. 

 

[Maurile Tremblay]

Arian Foster, Jonathan Stewart, Russell Wilson, and DeVante Parker are all expected to play.

 

[Maurile Tremblay]

Rob Gronkowski is out.

 

[Maurile Tremblay]

Jamaal Charles is out.

 

[JamieMurphy]

I like this format--the front page of the forum isn't cluttered with 30 threads.

Gronk is out, from reports on NFL network.

 

[zamboni]

Not injury-related, but looks like Ajayi will be active. With Foster's well-documented injury history, don't rule Ajayi out in that backfield. 

 

[VaTerp]

Two thumbs up on combining to one thread and reducing the clutter on page 1.  Maybe two threads for 1pm and 4pm games but I like the responsiveness to concerns expressed last week.

Thanks!

@Maurile Tremblay, might be best to edit your original post since you came out with links saying a few guys are now officially out? Save people a bunch of scrolling.

 

[SayWhat?]

Much better!  Maybe, if possible, update the first post as definitive info becomes available?

 

[Rhythmdoctor]

Like the combined thread idea.  I think a good idea would be to occasionally post the guys who are 'out' as the most recent post.  Keep a running tally of the players officially out.

 

[DZ2300]

Combined Thread. 

 

[Bojang0301]

Foster active as per NFLN, Ajayi dressing too

 

[Craig_MiamiFL]

Markus Wheaton Inactive.

I liked the individual threads. 

Far superior. You could tell with one glance on the main page where your player stood, now you got to click on this thread and scroll down for the latest.

 

[Dinsy Ejotuz]

Love the new format MT -- thanks!

 

[rct]

If a player is a late scratch do we have to keep going into this thread to see if there is an update?

 

[ShamrockPride]

Far superior. You could tell with one glance on the main page where your player stood, now you got to click on this thread and scroll down for the latest.

Yeah I liked the idea someone put out that we do exactly what we're doing in here, but by specific position in 4 or 5 stickied threads.

All these positions overload my brain sorting if I look too quickly. I think doing specific positions fulfills a happy medium between old and new styles, more organized, and cuts down on the millions stickies of last week.

 

[Air Stich]

Markus Wheaton Inactive.

Is this a major boost to Eli Rogers? I'm erring on the side of starting him where I can.

 

[Bad_Mo]

Like the combined thread with list of FF relevant players with bold and cross out.  Thanks, MT.

 

[elshagon]

The new format is 100x better. I like the updated first post

 

[msommer]

I liked the individual threads. 

Biut they took up too much room, so this is a compromise

 

[Buffaloes]

Love the new format MT -- thanks!

+1

one-stop shopping and all that...frees up the frnot page,  etc

 

[msommer]

Far superior. You could tell with one glance on the main page where your player stood, now you got to click on this thread and scroll down for the latest.

Updates in OP

 

[JohnnyU]

Love the new format MT -- thanks!

Yes, this was a good idea.

 

[Johnny Rock]

Excellent MT. I concur that this format is much better. 

 

[Chasers Dawg]

MFL Gameday inactive for the 2nd week in a row. Time for them to start reimbursing patrons

 

[PIK95]

Is Wendell Smallwood active?  I'm starting him!
