Hope he is healing and returns soon. Some info on the injury would be nice but that it isn’t happening.
“Joe Mixon Update Account”
Thanks. Nice of him to again not ask any follow up questions. I honestly think Baby doesn’t even want to know and is doing it out of spite at this point. Nobody can be THAT incompetent at their job right? I mean this is literally all a beat reporter is supposed to do. I’ve seen high school football teams with better coverage.
No, not petty. You just said they are now paying for not putting him on IR. I am wondering how you think they are paying for it or suffering because they didn't put him on IR.
They may not be paying for it but I sure am. Gave up a first so I could have him for a playoff push thinking he'd be back after their bye at the latest.
I don't see why that would be the case. The bungles have been out of contention for a while, they're basically playing to get their young team game experience playing together. In order to do that they need the whole team. Otherwise why not bench everyone? They already know they've got their qb and two solid wrs, why risk them?
I have not followed Mixon's situation very carefully. Was his injury initially diagnosed as something which would require at least three games out? It is easy to Monday-morning quarterback, but when a player who is key to your team's success is injured, that initial diagnosis (and second opinion) is vitally important. If it was initially believed Mixon would recover and return within three weeks, it would have been mismanaging the team to IR Mixon. If, however, the team either grossly mis-diagnosed Mixon's injury or failed to IR Mixon after a diagnosis that he would be out three weeks, then leaving Mixon on the active roster was certainly a case of mismanagement. That could have been valuable practice time for a young, developing player.
As a fellow Bell owner, I would say he is not flex worthy. He is nearly drop worthy. His only value at this point is as a handcuff, which is considerable value in the KC offense, but as long as CEH remains healthy, Bell has essentially no value. I would guess it will take a substantial offer to pry Mixon away from someone now that they have already endured a prolonged absence and he is nearing return.
I don't think that's enough. Bell has done absolutely nothing this season, on either team he's been on. He's actually a FA in one of my leagues.
In my dynasty league I traded a first plus for Mixon a week before the bungles bye. Personally I'm stuck with him at this point.
That's pretty much what I keep hearing from the Mixon owner.
Yeah, if I didn’t have Gio and just Mixon, I wouldn’t consider that offer. Bell looks line just a lottery ticket handcuff at this point. And it’s shocking how little KC is running the ball at that. You might have more look dealing a WR, as any RB that the guy could use, you’re probably hesitant to give up.
I have Gio and Mixon in standard as well, so I can relate regarding the catches. But unless your RB room is stacked, I wouldn’t drop him. I’d put the odds on Mixon returning this season less and less with every week that passes. Cincy still has some nice games on the schedule so I would hold. If another week goes by and it looks like Perine is making this more of a RBBC I would reconsider.
Curious how Mixon owners would feel about this offer now. Have to think we're getting close to rage drop mode with this guy. Feels like he just aint comin back.
I was thinking of offering my Mixon for his Chris Carson. Just a swap of injury headaches. But the Carson owner in my league is kind of an ### so I skipped it.
Yeah, I don’t think I’d even want to waste a roster spot on Bell at this point given the Chiefs RB usage and the odds that they just use another RB in a committee with Bell if CEH were to go down. So that deal would do nothing for me personally.
I agree but its the Bungles so of course they mishandled it. I drafted him in 2 leagues this year and traded him away in one because I needed a WR1. At that time I thought he was playing that week and am still shocked that he is still out. In the league where I still have him I was unable to get Bernard on the waivers because someone else beat me to him. This is so frustrating!!!! I think I blame whoever named this thread because I usually only hear my middle name when I am in trouble so whoever named this thread has doomed Mixon to having injury troubles.Razors Edge said:
I doubt any RB on wire has the upside that Mixon has in the playoffs IF he can get healthy.
That's too much.
DO IT!
