Willis McGahee broken ribs - OUT indefinitely (1 Viewer)

[tandl71]

My initial reaction to his injury was "Oh, no!". I traded Maroney and Plaxico for him in week 4, and he's been my RB2 since then. However, since then I've won games IN SPITE of him.

Unless you have NO other starting RBs to ride, I don't see how losing McGahee can be a big hit to any team (I'm starting T. Jones or C. Chambers in his place from here on out, 0.5 PPR).

Losing him for 1,2, or 6 weeks may be a blessing in disguise. A. Thomas has scored twice with only 25 touches. Face it--McGahee is a fantasy turd.

I think you're overreacting.He was a lock for 10 points in "my league".

MANY other RBs had 3,4,5,6 point games. When you draft "stud RB theory" that 3 or 4 point game can be considerred a loss IMO

Before he got hurt he was about 9 or 10th rusher in the NFL

http://www.nfl.com/stats/leaders/NFL/RYDS/2006/regular

The guy ran for 112 yards in a half and Jauron barely used him in the second. That's not his fault. That was one of the better halfs of any back this year. Heck 100 in a half would be considerred very good any year.

For the year, McGahee was the 53rd ranked scoring RB/WR/TE in my league. Scoring 1 pt./10 yds. rush-rec., 6 pts. TD, 0.5 pt./rec.That puts him behind such powerhouses such as Keyshawn Johnson, Mike Furrey, and Maurice Jones-Drew. And that ranking is based on his full season stats, not his diminished stats since week 4 when I traded for him. He's the 25th ranked RB in my league, and that puts him in Kevan Barlow 2004 territory.

Talk up the Bills' O-Line woes and McGahee's yardage all you want. My point is, it shouldn't be a struggle to replace a fantasy RB who has been outperformed by fantasy WR #3s.

' date='Nov 6 2006, 03:00 PM' post='5860005']Any chance Shaud Williams ends up carrying the workload? Thomas did OK yesterday but it's been 3 years since he was a starter in this league.

Did Ok? 20 rushes for 95 yds. and a TD. Wow, hopefully maghee was watching what it looked like getting into the ENDZONE!!!!

IndeedThomas has been the better RB this year, so far, hands-down. Whether, he can continue with the full-time gig is a question, but I am not at all bothered by this injury, as a Bills fan. When he got hurt last week I was actually hoping he'd miss a game or two, so we could see more of Thomas.

Hands down?I dont know about that. I guess we will see.

I picked him up Sunday for the sole purpose of peddling him for a wide receiver.

I traded him to the McGahee owner for Reggie Brown a couple of hours ago.

I was fortunate a couple of weeks ago to trade a DB to a desperate owner for this week's FA pick, turns out he was the worst team in the league and he has the #1 pick, so I got lucky and added Train last night. The McGahee owner has only S Jax and Bukhalter left at RB, and I thought about grabbing Matt Jones (keeper league) for Train. Instead, I'd rather hold Train and see if I can sneak a very expensive Willis for Mike Bell and Travis Henry. Now I am starting to think that's too much for Willis, he hasn't really done anything this year anyway.

 

[j3r3m3y]

Willis is ranked #24 in my league, BARELY a starting RB#2.

Big news huh?

 

[Leo2228]

What kind of number do you guys think A-Train will but up against IND ?

I'll say 25 carries 110 yards and a TD—pretty generic prediction, I know.Buffalo will need to lean on the run to keep the Colts offense off the field. And I bet they keep running even if they're behind.

Good luck with that. I have a sneaking suspicion that Reggie Brown's numbers are going to take a huge hit with Stallworth finally coming back at 100%. Not that A-Train is really a long-term solution either.

Now or a week or so ago? before the little stats due to injury week?Mine was similar scoring but 1 PPR not .5.

 

[Isotopes]

I grabbed A-Train for 2 reasons. First, as an insurance policy...I have 2 good backs in SJax and Westy. Beyond that my depth is questionable (Jordan, Turner). So, if either Westy or Jackson goes down, I would more than likely play Thomas over what I have. But, perhaps more importantly, I grabbed Thomas so my other league mates couldn't. The McGahee owner claims he is fine at rb and doesn't want to trade - but there is still a chance another rb will go down with an injury these next couple of weeks, and Thomas is always there as trade bait.

Those might be "generic" stats, but that was more than what McGahee was getting them!

Tandl,

I went to "my" league's top 100

http://football35.myfantasyleague.com/2006...ints&TEAM=*

He's good for 10-20 a week at 90pts, Addai is at 100pts, Addai is ranked 74. T Jones is 52 at 110pts. If we give him a typical week's score that's somewhere in between?

I gotta say I haven't been looking at overall so much, just RB rank and such. Thanks for that.

Buffalo will need to create a WR or two. I don't see how they can keep up with them. Didn't NE spank them like 28-6 or 7. I don't disagree they'll need to run but I'm worried about A-train this week. Quite fearful they ditch the run by the 2nd quarter down 21-0 or somesuch.

I think Stallworth is a great pickup right now. I would be trading for him on the cheap.
