Who is holding their breath wondering when MJD and/or All-Day AP get h (1 Viewer)

I want to be clear this is not a thread hoping for anyone to get injured. In fact, it is the opposite.

I think MJD may get hurt being forced back into a heavy load too quickly. It seems to me that players that skip training camp generally either get hurt or have sub-par years anyways. Not many can transition from street to NFL. MJD beat the odds last year. Now MJD will try to beat the odds 2 years in a row. I just don't think the odds are good.

It also seems to me that AD is coming back, not just faster than anyone I have ever seen, but, MUCH faster than anyone I have ever seen. Months and months earlier. How can it possibly not be too soon when you have 300+ pound animals trying to crush his knees weekly? And he came back too soon last time he was hurt (which is how he hurt the knee). I think AD is amazing. I wasn't a fan, but he made respect him. A true warrior. But there comes a time when I have to question what is humanly possible. As a fantasy football owner, I wonder outloud whether he is taking it too far too fast.

Am I the only person holding their breath with these two?

Disclaimer: For the record, I have neither player on any of my teams.

I have both players and trust me, I'm worried lol. Having said that, I'm not keeping gerhart or jennings on my bench, it's really hard to use 4 roster spots on 2 "players" and am just going to hope for the best.

I always fear Mashall Faulk/Deuce McAllister knee for the first year after any player has a knee injury; especially a torn ligament. You know what I mean, they look good for a game or two, then you start to hear about swelling and missed practices. Next it's GTDs and a week missed here or there.

I'm not saying by any means that I think these guys mentioned will have problems, it's just a general concern and one that makes me want to see them healthy for an extended period before I am completely sold. Of the guys that are coming off injuries, Peterson's worries me most as I read the substantial nature of multiple ligament and meniscus tears has a far higher rate of degenerative issues than a simple ACL partial or full tear.
