Meh, I seem to remember L. Bell getting knocked out cold during his rookie season and coming back the next week. I'm not ready to assume TB will be sidelined for an extended period of time.
Yah, I call BS on Steed being a doctor (my apologies if he is). Doctor on Fox post-game said being knocked out isn't necessarily any worse than not being knocked out. Obviously it's a wait-and-see situation, but I don't think we can assume anything from watching the hit. Other players have suffered worse looking hits, and even been knocked out, and still played the following week. I think it happened to one of the Vikings in the pre-season or practice earlier this year (Rhodes maybe?)
Yeah, look at Karlos Williams. He suffered his concussion on a seemingly innocuous hit and wasn't diagnosed until Monday. He also missed nearly a month with terrifying symptoms. Every case is different.
Kinda thinking this if you have the guy to replace him or get a great deal. I think he's the real deal, but his ceiling tends to be a little capped because of Minn's general gameplan (DF + rushing).
1 catch for 5 yards first half. Bridgewater's first 9 completions went to 9 different receivers. Sick double move twisted Jenkins into a pretzel, 30 yards. Caught one other 12 yarder, 5 targets in the day. On the RZ interception he was getting mauled, fought out of it & got called for offensive PI (head scratcher to me.)
Raiders pass defense is average to below average. Damn good team, though. Carr is legit.
Rapoport tweeted this morning TB woke up feeling much better. Between this and Teddy greeting all his teammates in the tunnel yesterday you have to feel like he's going to be fine.
Yeah 9 posts ago.
Diggs was absent today
from the injury report
Rotoworld's verbiage almost gave me a panic attack
I thought I was the only one. It was because of the Willie Snead blurb right? I literally panicked for a nano second.
PFF (fwiw) has him as the 9th best WR this season. Very unlikely, but if there is a "this years ODB", Diggs just might be the guy. Lots of similarities in size, skills, and usage. ODB didn't get on the field until week 5. His first 5 games, he averaged 13 standard ppg with 83 ypg and 3 scores on 25 receptions and 35 targets. Diggs didn't get playing time until week 4 and through his first 5 games is averaging 12 standard ppg with 92 ypg and 2 scores on 28 receptions and 45 targets.
skill wise I might agree but I don't think he will get the volume of targets to pull off an OBJ run. As a Viking fan and Diggs owner I would love to see it though.
After those 5 games, ODB's targets went from 7 to 13.5. Diggs is at 9 targets. Unlikely he will get the bump he needs to go from good to elite, but much of the narrative is in place.
Of course not. Like I said, no sane person would ever predict any player to do what those guys did.
Exactly. Very good WR, outstanding stretch to open his career, but in reality he hasn't had an elite 30-40 point game.
After 5 games nobody thought Beckham was going to be Beckham either. People have asked who could be this year's Beckham. Diggs has the most similar stat line and situation.
Lots of similarities
Apples and oranges have a lot in common.
They both have seeds and make great juice.
That's exactly my flex choice, and I'm now leaning Martavis unless I hear something good about the weather in Oakland.
If he had a QB who threw 45 times per game, absolutely. He's been putting up great numbers with a QB throwing half that much. But as it stands, no. He can't equal OBJ's numbers.
