Was searching for updates when he first went out and I read a tweet some tweets from DR. Chao. First one said it looked like more than just a mild AC joint sprain. Second one said he can't recall a player ever being in a sling and returning. Between refusing to let the concussions keep him out and what he did yesterday I just don't think this guy gets nearly enough credit for being one of the toughest players in the game. He's the kind of player fans should respect. But that's not reality. Reality is when he first got injured yesterday people were tweeting up a storm how soft he and always injured he was and the next time he's hurt people will do it again. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That isn't going to get better this year. Could limit his snaps going forward. Even if you wanted to consider that last drive garbage time, which I don't, he stil had a strong game and also missed most of the first half so don't really get the nitpick here. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
unckeyherb 1,428 Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 I have three championships I've the last 15 years that were all aided heavily by garbage time. Not sure that's a knock. Also as mentioned above, were there really any garbage time points? I equate garbage time as being behind by three scores in the fourth and defense is bending, allowing for large chunk yardage plays. Washington kept it honest the whole game. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He single handedly may be sending me to the playoffs in all of them even if he's done for the year. It'll be a blow if he's out but he helped get me there. In PPR getting him in the fourth was a steal even with missed games. Kinda like getting Bell early second due to missing first three games. Him injuring his shoulder like that was a hard luck circumstance. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

STEADYMOBBIN 22 3,981 Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Fantasy he's gold but as a NFL tight end he's basically only a oversized receiver and a complete liability when asked to block.

Fiedo, Green, McDonald and Gresham have plus match-ups if they're available. I'd be hesitant to use Davis against ARI as they're allowing the least points to TEs this season.

Chicago keeps losing bodies and I believe they just lost their best ILB who covers TEs. L. Green snaps are increasing. Could see him breaking out against a NYG secondary that's good vs. WRs. Longshot: J. Hill (instead of C. Fleener) vs DET who love giving up points to TEs. I have both Reed and Davis, but hate the AZ matchup. If Reed is ruled out I may go with McDonald over Davis.

Stompin' Tom Connors 4,242 Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 I am betting Reed doesn't play this weekend. Have same info as all of you, so we're all in the holding pattern together and any updates can change the opinion, but from what I've seen so far -- the grade 3 separation, the MRI having been done with Reed still unclear of timetable, 30% range of motion, etc. -- all makes me skeptical he can practice in the next two days. Skins need wins to stay in the hunt, so both Reed and Gruden will want him out there even if he's only limited -- he can still have an impact that can help win games. But they also have a decent backup in Davis who has show resurgence and the ability to take up all the slack if needed, so they may opt to go that way against ARI. Your guess is good as mine at this point, but my money is on "under" -- Reed sitting out, and me planning now to have an alternate ready to go. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kutta 5,497 Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 Just as a value check in dynasty - before last week's game I sent Hunter Henry and a late 2017 2nd round rookie pick for Reed.

Pigskin P 6 Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 My back up is Kyle Rudolph, who plays Dallas tomorrow night. As much as I love Reed, I can't afford a goose egg, so it's a no-brainer for me. Kind of glad I don't have to be teased up until the Sunday kickoff. Even if Reed plays, which I doubt, I suspect he's limited to being a decoy on passing downs to help clear out routes for the other receivers. Wouldn't be shocked if he doesn't get a single target.

I have a legit shot at a championship this year, and the other guy is in a bit of a rebuild. I am not sure where this would line up in terms of ADP for start ups following the 2016 season, but I do think with the risk of other concussions for Reed in the future that Henry has more value in the long term or big picture valuations of the two players at this time. Henry is a promising young player in a good situation in the near term. I don't know that Henry will ever have the same upside in terms of the high number of receptions that Reed has been producing however. If you look at it in terms of dynasty rookie draft picks, Henry was a 2nd round pick value except in leagues with higher scoring for TE where Henry was likely a 1st round pick. So two seconds or a 1st and a second round pick for Reed is the price being paid. Personally I think the goal is to obtain as many of the top players available as possible, so I think Reed helps you win more than the value of two 2nd round rookie picks. So I like the Reed side of the deal. This sounds like a situation where it is a good deal for both owners. Getting Reed helps the team trying to win now have a better chance of accomplishing that. The team not in a position to take advantage of Reed right now gets a safer younger player who could match Reed possibly with Rivers in the next couple of seasons. I think is I were the Reed seller, I would still ask for something more. A 1st and 2nd round value instead of two seconds for example. The second round pick gives the Reed owner some insurance if Reed does get injured again and his career ends quickly as a result. If you have Reed you should also be carrying at least another TE option as well, perhaps more than one. So from the buyers perspective you are just upgrading your immediate line up. Now that may have been Henry but not likely with Gates still there this season and him being a rookie. Maybe after he showed he can put up some numbers this season I guess that was a huge value bump and could have moved him into some starting lineups then. Anyhow a Reed owner should always have a plan B and possibly a plan C in mind and roster spots are the most valuable asset you have.
