No inside knowledge, but the way it is worded it COULD be as simple as exposure to a covid positive person, contact-tracing type deal.

Harbough said he tested positive after several consecutive days of negative results.
Adam Schefter tweeted Covid-19 related and now the league is going through the science. Whatever that means.
Someone tweeted he has to sit fir ten days bc he’s positive and not vaxxed. 1) wouldn’t you also have to sit if you were positive and vaxxed? pretty sure being vaxxed doesn’t guarantee you cannot transmit. 2) it hasn’t been confirmed he is not vaccinated. that is suspected to be true bc he refused to confirm or deny last month when asked.
Budda Baker is vaccinated but everyone assumed he wasn’t bc of some tweets he made last week.

I believe if you’re positive and vaxxed you sit 2 days and retest. If he in fact is already required to sit 10 days then he had a positive test and isn’t vaccinated. Which when you’re the face of the franchise and on the brink of signing a $40 mill per year contract isn’t very smart. Just get the shot. Ravens supposedly have 90% vaccinated and I guess if there’s a good time to get the Covid it’s now vs in season.
What's the current medical guidance on receiving the vaccine after you have already recovered from Covid? Is it recommended, or still a gray area?

I had it mid December and my NY contact tracer person and my doctor both said to wait at least 90 days to get vaccinated then. Maybe it’s changed the past several months but that was the advice then
Bad. Dobbins was gonna help move the chains and help Jackson get chances for more passing TDs. They face 4 good defenses, PIT and CLE, so the more weapons, the better overall for the offense.

I mean, it's not great. But they'll still have a good running game. Edwards is fine, if not as elite as Dobbins.
The bigger worry with Jackson is that both the O-Line and WR rooms are a damned mess.

Major investments in him, including in my longest-term dynasty league. But man all of the injuries worry me.
Now Hill gone for the year. Ingram is listed as a starter in HOU. Any chance they make an offer?

It would make a lot of sense for both sides. Not that it would be good news for Gus drafters though. You have to start to wonder how all this injury attrition affects Lamar’s stock this year.
I liked him over Kyler going into a contract year, but given the injuries I’m bumping him down below Kyler and possibly into the Dak/Russ tier at this point. Anyone else here downgrading his stock with the recent news?

Longest-term dynasty investor, and drafted him in my "big" redraft. Too late at this point.
#### no. Lamar's ceiling just keeps getting higher and higher every time another RB gets hurt.
As does his likelihood of getting injured. He already doesn’t do as good of a job as a Russ or Kyler at avoiding hits.

Nice breakdown here in what it COULD mean in terms of how effective the option will be.

Lamar makes the RBs more than the RBs make Lamar….but yeah probably not great. You’d expect a drop in efficiency running, maybe made up for by more volume but with an increased injury risk.

Yes, everything is based around Lamar. But when you haven't developed as a passer, the defense will begin to cheat without the inside/outside RPO. Right now there is no established inside runner, yet. Let's see what Williams can do. But if the inside run game is not established, that's one less thing to worry about for defenses and ultimately, the threat of his legs is tremendously diminished.

He was under a lot of pressure. Max Crosby had his way with OT Aledrandjo Villanueva. Looks like that will be a big problem especially facing AFCN pass rushers.
Not to mention one of the worst receiving groups in the NFL. I can't think of a worse group. Andrews dropped a key pass late in the game (actually was stripped, but still) and Watkins, who failed with Mahomes, was the #1 receiver last night. Lamar was erratic passing early in the game, but settled down late.

The fumbles.

I know. I was going to say something about zero separation on most routes, Lamar had nowhere to go on most throws.
It 'looked' like he double-clutched and hesitated because he was looking deep when the flat was wide-open on most of his attempts. I think the defense game plan was to take out the TE since Lamar's biggest passing strength is over the middle of the field, he's poor throwing outside statistically.
What? This is a really good wr group. Andrews is a top TE in this league and Hollywood would be a superstar on another team.
Pff had them at 23rd best, with Bateman.

I suspect all those teams in the middle are pretty bunched up in terms of 'score'
And they repeat what i said that andrews is a top te, brown is great and watkins is not a bad number 2. If bateman works out then they are even better
This is not the lions wr corps, or the patriots or the so many other teams that really stink
These guys are middle of the pack like 75% of other teams in the nfl
Hollywood is a 1 trick poney. In 3 seasons in KC, Watkins never had more than 3 TDs or 700 yards. With Mahomes. Without Bateman, they're a bottom 5 group, only Andrews is special, and last night he let the LB strip him of the ball on the play before the fumble.
So you are saying you are downgrading Andrews from one of the best TE's in the league to terrible because of a strip last night?
We will just have to disagree. I actually think the opposite that this wr corp with an actual qb would be dynamite.
