He better practice if he wants to become good enough to hold off Alex Collins!!!Terrance West is practicing today
same hereI was all over this guy as a rookie, had him in all three leagues. Ran out of patience/taxi spots for him so had to move on, but fortunately was able to get him back in a bunch of leagues.
If your only cost is dropping Blount, absolutely.Thinking about picking him up in one dynasty, but here is the question. Short benches, best ball league, and I am a contender. Do I drop Blount and stash him? It is hard to stash people in this league with large starting lineup, and superflex.
If your only cost is dropping Blount, absolutely.
I say this as an Eagles fan who's watched every snap of preseason and regular season: Blount is cooked. I have no idea what sort of fairy dust Belichick sprinkled on him, but it's sure as #### worn off now. He just can't hit the holes before they close (and the Eagles have an above-average OL).
If you're a contender, I'd rather have a guy with a 10% chance of being a league-winner than a guy with a 90% chance of taking up space.
Okay, how's this? I'd rather have a guy with a 10% chance of being a league-winner than one with a 0% chance.But... by definition... if you drop Blount for someone who is a 10% chance of being a league-winner... the other 90% of the time that "league-winner" will also just be taking up space...
MATH!
Not sure if he was full, limited or what but BLEH.Terrance West (thigh) returned to practice Friday.
We should have a final injury report soon, as the Ravens are across the pond in England. West's game status probably has more effect on Buck Allen's fantasy appeal than West's himself. Allen is worth starting no matter what
He is feeling Collins breathing down his neck. Hopefully the coaches make a wise decision and rest him this week.Not sure if he was full, limited or what but BLEH.
Fixed it for you.He is feeling Collins breathing down his neck. Hopefully the coaches make a wise decision and rest him the rest of the season!!!
I'm of no mind that this is West's backfield on any front. They are working hard for someone to take it away from him. Whoever that is, I don't know but he won't lastCowboysfan8 said:That was a short train ride
A little early for that one. It may slightly put the brakes on but the old model is terrible.Cowboysfan8 said:That was a short train ride
So... he is practicing. But still questionable. I think Collins is just a stash at this point, as most of these types of guys are.Terrance West (thigh) is questionable for Week 3 against the Jaguars.
Michael Campanaro (ankle), Anthony Levine (chest), Chris Matthews (ankle) and Za'Darius Smith (ankle, knee) also drew the questionable tag while Maxx Williams (ankle) has been ruled out. West didn't practice on Wednesday and Thursday but returned to a full session on Friday and should be good to go for Sunday's game at Wembley Stadium. Buck Allen has out-touched him 40-29 through two games, though West has two touchdowns to Allen's one.
seems like the hype train on Collins has slowed a bit. With the above news, thoughts on his game script this morning?Terrance West (calf) is active for Week 3 against the Jaguars in London.
West sat out the first two practices of the week, but he was able to get in a full session on Friday. Despite being active, West may not be ready for a full workload at less than 100 percent, and Buck Allen has out-touched him 40-29 through two weeks. Allen looks like the better fantasy play and a quality RB2 while West is more of a hope-for-a-touchdown FLEX option.
I’d love to see a big game from him! I need one of my ‘lotto tickets’ to hit!I guess this is a really good time for a London game. As someone else posted earlier, we can see how Collins is used today and drop him if he never sees the field. There's also a chance West is just active as an emergency back, Collins gets 15 carries and goes berserk on our benches, and we poor Champagne (not sparkling wine - Champagne) all over each other.
I was considering dropping him in favor of Collins just in case Bell gets hurt, but hard to drop another 70 yard performance...Obviously the game script is awful for this guy.
But he has looked good in limited run. How are people evaluating him? Any chance he takes the job over West?
He is my lotto ticket but Yahoo allows you to drop bench players in game, so I was thinking of dropping and moving on to another one in the 1 PM game.
I wouldn't drop him, but I would guess about 50 of those yards came in garbage time.82 yards on 9 carries right now. Why on Earth is anyone considering dropping him?
because it was mostly in garbage time.82 yards on 9 carries right now. Why on Earth is anyone considering dropping him?
Did you miss west and Allen running in garbage time? Terrible.I wouldn't drop him, but I would guess about 50 of those yards came in garbage time.
Two weeks in a row he's showed dominance in "garbage time." You did notice that Allen had runs during the same portion of the game? How did that work out?because it was mostly in garbage time. yes, it's encouraging and you'd expect Baltimore to give him the nod from here out.
I'm likely holding now, but the coaching staff may be this guys biggest downfall
Exactly.Did you miss west and Allen running in garbage time? Terrible.
I agree, Collins should be the starter next week, Allen the 3rd down/passing back, and West should be handing out Gatorade, and massaging Flacco's back and Woodheads hamstring.Did you miss west and Allen running in garbage time? Terrible.
idk why you're arguing with me when I said I'd be holding. but you can't ignore how Baltimore seemed to game plan completely away from Allen. he had a great run then sat the rest of the entire drive. he's got talent but the coaching staff is holding him back big time.Two weeks in a row he's showed dominance in "garbage time." You did notice that Allen had runs during the same portion of the game? How did that work out?
lol dominance.Two weeks in a row he's showed dominance in "garbage time." You did notice that Allen had runs during the same portion of the game? How did that work out?
I apologize. Didn't mean to come off like an argument. Wasn't trying to be snarky.idk why you're arguing with me when I said I'd be holding. but you can't ignore how Baltimore seemed to game plan completely away from Allen. he had a great run then sat the rest of the entire drive. he's got talent but the coaching staff is holding him back big time.
I'll be more encouraged about him when he is used more than in garbage time. I don't like to count on that scenario for my team. I'm sure others don't mind
You can find my comments in this very thread from last year, I like Collins.Says the Buck Allen owner.
"lol"
