I think the fact that he was DNP on a day he was scheduled to practice on a limited basis is a pretty good sign that he's worse than last week when he practiced in full.
No it doesn't because I am not saying that he is the same/better/worse. I'm saying that there is more than one logical explanation for why he would go from scheduled limited participant to DNP.I think the fact that he was DNP on a day he was scheduled to practice on a limited basis is a pretty good sign that he's worse than last week when he practiced in full.
It sounds like you're a river in Egypt.
Why would you need more than one logical explanation when we have the very specific singular reason?
As I said earlier the conversation about his sore foot is the issue that we don't understand.
I expect better from you, Chaka.
Well that's what you get for having expectations.
I'm kidding brother. 
I don't see any haters. I see reasonable people commenting on an ongoing situation.
This team hasn't made the playoffs since Sammy was being potty trained. I don't see them shutting him down until they are mathematically eliminated.
I don't think that's true at all. He was obviously not 100%. He wouldn't have been on a snap count otherwise. They just needed him badly. If he was 100% there wouldn't have been any question as to whether he'd play, which there was until the end of the week.
NO
So much for reasonable people discussing things.
I didn't say he was 100%, he obviously was not, considering it was said multiple times that he needs conditioning work. I said the foot was 100%, which I suppose is also incorrect, considering it still hurts. My point was that the foot structurally is healed. The second opinion he got indicated that the foot was healed, rest and rehab was all that could be done. If the foot is healed, the second opinion advised against another surgery, and he still has pain after all of the rest and rehab, that simply cannot be good.
Okay I mean hurting to the point of sitting out practice completely. Maybe the Bills are just playing it safe?
Considering you and a large handful of others here were dead wrong about him after fear mongering about some injury or something that was going to happen after a few snaps.....I'll take my chances.Hot Sauce Guy said:
I don't feel like reading back through 70 pages of posts but based on the last two pages you do seem to have an excessive dislike for Watkins. Did he ruin your season at one point in time?
He's the only poster here I've ever put on Ignore.
I'm certainly not taking yesterday's news as he re-aggravated the injury or that he isn't playing this week. I think the worry some have was that he was supposed to practice but ended up being held out because his foot was sore. I definitely agree that it's pointless to get worked up over a Wednesday practice report. Today and Friday will be telling for him. If he can get in some practice today and tomorrow, I think he'll be fine. But if he is a DNP again today, then it may be time to panic a little.
True. In one of the leagues I have him, he's a complete luxury since I have Julio, Fitz, Hilton, Michael Thomas, and Britt. In the other, I could definitely use him since I have Dez, Landry, Cobb, and DJax. But you're right, anything we get from him at this point is a bonus.
I don't know about Moncrief and fantasy football, but man that 62-yard play shows just what this guy can do when he's healthy. Beats Jalen Ramsey 1-on-1 even though he's not really at full-speed, ball is slightly underthrown, uses his body to shield Ramsey without using his hands (no OPI) and make the play look so easy. Such a shame he's never healthy.
We were dead wrong?
Not at all - I have no personal feelings about him whatsoever. I drafted him and wasn't thrilled when he got hurt. But I'm well past that and in 1st place in that league:
He checked out fine following the game according to the team. The soreness likely came a few days later. If you were paying attention...And I'm not so sure you were...nobody ever said he'd play more than half the snaps. He did exactly what was said he was going to do.
Actually Sammy himself declared himself 100%. And said he wouldn't play unless he was 100%.
Okay. Source wrong, info/statement correct.
Point still stands. Sammy's played through worse at this point than wahhhh...soreness. Lol
Mike Rodak just indicated he took part in individual drills, and then started work with the WR coach on the sideline as special teams started going through their drills. Better than a DNP, but not sure exactly what that all means.
Sammy is only 23 and doesn't turn 24 until next June. He's been in the league 3 years already and is half a year younger than rookies like Josh Doctson who hasn't even played more than a game yet due to his injury, and Sterling Shepard. He's younger than Saints' Michael Thomas too.
A very true statement. And one of he reasons I wanted him this year when he was reportedly 100% in the preseason.
Yeah he needs to prove it before he gets in any of my lineups that aren't starving. Luckily I own him everywhere cause he got dropped by many, but I can't really start him except in leagues where injuries have devastated me. It's nice to have him as an option where I own AJG over guys like Tyler Boyd or Kendall Wright (14 teamers).
Hopefully that'll (health) change next year going forward. Sammy's been dinged up a ton and he's unfairly scrutinized because of his scintillating talent that to this point is still unrealized. People need to remember that Julio started out similarly and we all know how that's ended up.
