WR Driver Questionable - Will he play? (1 Viewer)

[Billy Bats]

Mort just said he is starting and his ribs are not injured.

 

[NRV77]

ESPN just reported that DD WILL start. for what its worth

 

[scott72]

Packer pre-game said Driver will start, however not sure how far he can go. KRob is ready to step in. Very risky play imo. High risk, poss high reward. Make your decision accordingly.

I thought they had pain killers for rib injuries so players could play through it.

Terrell Owens took them all this week.

 

[NCPanthersFan]

I am definitely vested here, so take it for what it is worth. But as long as a player knows they have no damage and it is all a matter of pain - that keeps their head allot more clear.

Lets face it - this is a big game at home for the Packers. Their offense is playing well enough to keep them in the game plus they have a BYE week coming up. As long as DD can mentally go over the middle on his slant route, I think he will be good to go.

 

[Mr Anonymous]

Robinson ready to step in you say. Well with Ferguson inactive he's already the #3 receiver. That's pretty much a starter given how much the Pack has been throwing the ball. If Driver can't take it Ruvell Martin becomes #3 and and don't even know who is after him on the depth chart. The team needs Driver badly.

Anyone catching my drift?

 

[Hoodlumman]

From the FBG "Sunday Morning Updates" :

STL - CB Brown OUT

Summary: Good news for the Green Bay passing game as starting CB Fakhir Brown is out with an ankle.

Good to know for the fence-sitters. Maybe.

 

[bonesman]

I think Driver has a good game... but since i'm starting Favre and my opponent might be starting V. Morency... i think i'm going to diversify my portfolio and go w/ Reg. Williams or Shockey... hope Donny hauls in 3 for you guys

 

[red]

with green out, does that help or hurt the WR. more passes? less security for favre? poorer offense/unable to move the ball?

 

[ConstruxBoy]

So please stop quoting and re-quoting and making this thread even longer for crying out loud.

IS DRIVER STARTING OR NOT? That's the only question we answer in here.

Driver is STARTING according to Mort Anderson.

Should we really take the advice of the Falcons kicker?

Beauty...Hank Aaron. Good catch Bristol. That is sort of an inside joke with myself. Mort Anderson is my pet name for Chris Mortenson.

"Wonder if he can hit?"

Morency did pretty well against Philly.... i don't see it having a dramtic effect for or against.

Green was out last week as well ... do you remembre how that went? I know Phil D does not = St.L D

 

[Steve Dallas]

Should i play Troy williamson or D Mason over Driver

Williamson -- you do realize the Vikings are going to kill your team today, right?

 

[shakeybarn]

Is he gonna end up the dreaded "Game time Decision"? I guess I'll sit him this week. I haven't been able to get any info on him this morning.

It's too early - we won't know until around an hour before kickoff.

I think Driver is a terrible play this week even if he does play. He is obviously hurting quite a bit with his side so one hit and he may leave the game anywayI'm starting either Travis Taylor or Mark Clayton over him

Maybe Favre can score him those "Game Streaking Painkillers"...

 

[JohnnyCat]

So who's starting Driver? I'm in.

 

[Exile]

For what it's worth, I'm starting Driver over Reggie Brown. /shrug

 

[my man otis]

I'm out.

Starting Jennings and Reggie Williams over him in two leagues.

I just don't see the need to risk it if you have other top 20 options.

 

[SickThing]

I'm starting Colston over Driver.

 

[bonesman]

w/ sportsline servers acting up... i didn't get him out... had i not checked the game center to see if my oponent put in morency, i probably could've made it

need some paydirt baby

 

[JohnnyCat]

I just don't see the need to risk it if you have other top 20 options.

Unfortunately, I don't

Who cares who you're starting?This is a friggin' injury thread !!!!!!

 

[Bri]

ESPN just reported that DD WILL start. for what its worth

but I wanted to see Ruvell

 

[SickThing]

I'm starting Colston over Driver.

Which is why I waited until game time to post it. There is no need to check his status after it's too late to change your lineup.

The games started now. Just wondering how many people went with it. Relax bro.

 

[mlball77]

This isn't looking too good for Driver owners that started him thus far.

 

[dwaynecherokee]

My goodness is Driver on the FIELD!?!?!

 

[mt99808]

I have Roy Williams and Driver starting today. Safe to say I'm playing with 1 receiver today.

this is not a 'who I'm starting over Driver' thread. People were looking over this thread for Driver updates, not who 'SickThing' was starting in his place.

And your whining is a Driver update? There are people who like the comparisons, whether you do or not. It was also clearly pointed out to you previously that my post was made after everyone had their decisions made.

No. There is NOBODY that cares. And don't tell me that this post is useless, either. Mine serves a purpose - to get tools like you who think that their lineups and decisions are important to ANYONE else to stop posting this drivel.

thanks for backing me up, 'tribecalledjeff'.Tools like SickThing think the world revolves around his picks for fantasy starters.

I went back to the beginning of this thread and counted 26 posts in which people stated their preferences of who they'd play above or below Driver. That's 26 posts that go against your nobody cares theory. The fact that I read them proves that your "nobody cares" claim is false. In fact here's a direct quote from this thread that proves your "nobody cares" claim is false before you even stated it:

Guys, nobody here cares who you're playing over whom. Can you leave this thread to any actual info about Driver, it's hard enough to wade through the crap here as it is.

Please speak for yourself. I find it very valuable to know who is starting a player in a questionable situation and who is going another direction, and specifically, which direction they are going. Judging from the number of posts you are likely in the minority.

Besides, those other 25 came before lineups deadline, and mine came afterwards so why am I a tool and not the other 25? I'm the only one who waited for the deadline passed as to not interrupt the playing status info.

They are tools, too. Ask the mods if those posts are appropriate.

 

[tribecalledjeff]

I just realized that you actually took the time to count 26 posts. Get a life, guy.

 

[Da Guru]

In retrospect I am glad I sat Driver, but I played Drew Bennett instead!

 

[gump]

Was Driver limited due to injury, or is he becoming more of a decoy?
