Hopefully back next week so we get a look before playoffs.

I need him in the league I'm in right now. He carries that team when he's healthy. Man, I need a miracle. Even if I max my lineup I'm a fifteen+ point underdog. At 6-6, I can probably kiss it goodbye.

FBG email today speculated he may be shut down. Not sure it’s based off any actual news. Hope it’s wrong.

4-7, bud. I think they might have all the reason they need to shut it down. 😭
 
The Falcons have a very small glimmer of hope for the playoffs. London owners have to root hard for the Falcons against the sad sack Jets.
 
I know this has been talked about in the Burrow thread too. But it seems that teams rarely shut down healthy’ish players for the season just because their team is out of the playoff hunt. Anyone got any data to support or disprove that theory?

I believe you’re right. I think it happens more in baseball.

He could aggravate the PCL strain, so why risk it if you’re out of playoff contention? Now if he’s completely healthy, go for it, but if he’s not, then don’t play him.

Round and round we go. Players get hurt all the time. When they are healthy enough to play, they generally do play. Rarely do they get shut down for the year when they are able to play

I generally agree but it seems like the narrative has changed a bit in recent years in which guys do tend to get shut down more frequently than in years past. Could be wrong though and would have to do a bit more research. And obviously not every situation is the same though for sure.

I think it would come down to can the player protect themselves and are they at risk for a more debilitating injury that will affect their future performance more than playing healthy. If they can play normally with no additional risk of catastrophic injury then they should play. If more time will get them healthier than they shouldn't play (when their team is out of contention).

Fair points. I also think what could be a contributing factor is if you have a young future QB trying to build chemistry with his top WR. In this case, with Cousins just minding the store, and potentially on his last legs with the team, that might not be a catalyst to have London suit up and build that chemistry.

Also how the hell did London not make the pro bowl last year with 100 catches for 1270 yards and 9 TDs?

Mike Evans 74/1004/11
JSN 100/1130/6
McClaurin 82/1096/13
 
I need him to play like others, I worry about the idea of the team shutting him down for the year. However, I wonder about the level of incentives in his contract that he may want to reach..

With a Thursday game next week I wonder if they hold him back this week to play the next game which is an early one.

While I sure could use the help now, I would prefer he is 100% next week than rush a 90% this week for example.

Get him right for the fantasy playoffs.
 
I wonder if the dipspits at Yahoo are going to take them off of their no-cut list. I mean, I get why you shouldn't and why I won't, but that thing is thirty times more offensive than a helmet law for a biker.
