Penny for your thoughts....
Previous comments indicated he had turned the corner and was going to practice today. Hmmm. Sure hope IR isn't a possibility.
Own both Carson and Collins. Minus Wilson hope I'm not latched onto a sinking ship.
Actually have the D. Harris owner looking to trade for Carson. Considering it. Just get off this train.

As long as he isn't trying to swap Damien Harris for Carson, you have to consider it.kyoun1e said:
I declined the trade...about 10 minutes prior to the news coming out Carson may go on IR.
Of course.

Only news I’ve seen so far is “may go on IR” but both yahoo and mfl are showing him on IR already. Idk if they know something we don’t or it was premature
edit: nevermind he’s on IR for sure per twitter as of a couple min ago

I’m wondering if we’ve seen the last of Chris Carson in the nfl…
I have a friend who played IHL hockey with the same condition and he’s 45 and basically close to crippled with it. All he does is drive a backhoe and he says that’s agonizing to do in his condition. I can’t imagine Carson playing nfl football is going to be in that much better overall shape than my buddy who played hockey and had to retire as a result.

I don't know if we even know what the exact condition Carson has is. It's just a pretty vague "neck issue", which could be a pinched nerve, a misaligned disc, inflammation, we have no idea. Not even sure if it's nerve, skeletal, or muscular.

Well, I stayed in a Holiday Inn Express last night and got a great night of sleep. It's clear that any team who would wear neon green uniforms is dealing with mental health issues that psycho-semantically affect the neck .

I wouldn't go that far but he's definitely not going to be very reliable this whole season.

Part of me hopes not but part of me says get out without a catastrophic injury, have always enjoyed watching him play
You get two arms and two legs, but only one neck. Take care of it

Carson is droppable at this point, right? Elijah Mitchell is somehow available in my family league, and seems like a better option for my desperate (3-3) team.

Guy with Carson on dynasty league basically dumped him like a bad contract. This cat is usually pretty shrewd in getting value and feels like he basically added Carson in to the deal to inflate his side. Smart move and I think the only way you can get anything for him at this point.

Heading into waivers tonight, would like to know how droppable people think this guy is. I would love to set up my QB bye week and pick up someone else with upside if he's done.
Upside: Could be back week 10 same time as Russell Wilson after their bye. If he goes back to his old role, he'll be getting 12-14 carries and two targets a week. Mid tier RB2 in an offense that'll be looking to rebound. More or less a 14.3 ppr projection guy.
Stretch run RB ppr points against :
10- @GB (-.0.2) (likely confidence level low if you're starting him unless health reports are glowing, Russ might be back but he too may not be feeling super confident)
11- Ari (-4.1) (seemingly bad matchup so even if he resumes workhorse role, hopefully you have better options)
12 @Wsh (+0.1) If all goes excellently you're starting with confidence here.
13- SF (+0.5)
14- @Hou (+2.4) I'll be scrapping for the last spot in my league so this week will probably be huge.
Playoffs:
@Lar (surprisingly +1.9)
Chi (-1)
Det (+5.6)
(at Arizona week 18- most leagues this won't count)
Downside obviously is that he's not healthy and/or is now part of an RBBC. More paths to failure here than paths to glory.
I've been scouring the internet, does anyone know what his actual situation is?

No info but I have him too, week 10 this team could be 2-7. No real reason to risk your neck

What options are on your wire that hold as much or more potential in the meantime? Maybe a better questions for the other forum though...

Agreed, I am dropping him this week. I have other needs and I really doubt he plays again.

CEH, Hunt, Pollard are all available in my league. CEH is who I'm leaning to.
Have CMC/Hubbard, Robinson, Mitchell and Darrel Williams. Top 3 is above average once/ if CMC is healthy with two past byes. But you can never have too many good RBs. Darrel is likely getting dropped in a week or two once CEH is back.
Also, Gronk and Beasley. Have Pitts and Ridley/Woods/Tee/Jeudy/Toney. Feel like I need to stockpile WRs, not much has turned out how I planned it in the WR dept. Jeudy/Toney were picked up and held, kinda need more upside here with my top two guys not really panning out.
I'm planning to shop aggressively in trades for some higher end WR help.

That seems to be reddit's conclusion. Pete Carrol's negative comment that Faust posted above seems like a sign that he'll never be seen again. He's usually overly optimistic so when he says stuff like this, it doesn't look good.
I have Collins in three leagues and Carson in one. I may stick with Carson until after bye and if no favorable news comes out that he'll be coming back after bye I think that's probably the safest time to drop him because it will always be week to week...

Yes, that is what I was hearing from the start. It wasn’t a question of getting back this year. It was a question of if he would ever play again.

Hate to see it, but these are my feelings... Carson will make the very difficult and quiet decision to retire in the off-season.
I dropped him. Hurting at other positions and need to focus on winning this week. If he comes back oh well but counting on it may cost me wins this week and a few more weeks. Seems riskier and more uncertain to hold him at this point so rather stream flex and defenses to increase chances for winning now than hoping for a long shot that will make my team better a few weeks from now.

He's already on IR. From their perspective there's no reason to announce anything. Hi might get better at some point and if he does they will activate him. If he doesn't get better then nothing changes.

Holding for now but also to go with this, a neck injury is a prime candidate for reinjury

This sucks. He was playing well too. Now I need Collins to stay healthy and outplay Penny. Or dumb the Seattle O and hope Michael Carter to continues to break out in that nasty Jets O.
Link to this?
I have not seen this quote anywhere.
On the verge of dropping Carson too and I think many just did.

I would like to know if this is accurate. I don't see it anywhere. If it is true I could drop Collins tomorrow.

Regarding Collins, did Seattle just decide not to run yesterday because the pass was so effective? Or did they give Penny, DJ & Homer more reps because the win was obvious?
Wow. How did this get lost in the shuffle?
Maybe they'll trade Penny if things are trending positive.
