Welcome to Our Forums. Once you've registered and logged in, you're primed to talk football, among other topics, with the sharpest and most experienced fantasy players on the internet.
Ridley has essentially been useless the entire season. What did he have, three games in double-digits in half PPR? Yep, and two of those just barely. That's horrific production from a second round pick. I honestly can't remember if I lost a first rounder early to a season-ender but I can't recall any. Sure I have but this one just hits different... probably because I have Pitts too and see how awful Ryan and that offense really is.
I'm almost there. Just can't take it if he comes back week 16-17 for the championship and my potential opponent got him before me.
Redraft? Presumably.
Even if he does I dont think he puts up WR1 #s. He wasnt earlier in the year. At this point I wanted the roster flexibility and if he comes back so be it. Im at peace with my decision lol. I also dropped AB at the same time. FYI since I dropped him nobody has picked him up but I dropped him late last week.
I really considered picking him up and stashing him if the owner in my league dropped him, but he hasn't. I guarantee he isn't stashing him though; this owner has basically given up and hasn't done anything with his team in weeks.
I flipped Lockett to a playoff team for Ridley about 3 weeks ago, just as a data point for you.
I do have a playoff spot sewn up and our FAAB will re-set so I could theoretically bid on him again. But, the Falcons are not very good and he will likely be out of game shape anyway. I don't see him coming back--hence the move to drop him.
I've limped into a playoff spot... and have been still hanging onto Ridley.
I call it the SETL - somebody else's team list.
I have no information, but my stance is same as yours. I think he is done for this year and hopefully can come back next year.
Hasn't been anything. I've scoured Twitter for all the best writers and fantasy insiders and there's just nothing. So with that in mind, even if he suddenly walked into the building today and said he was ready, he hasn't played football in over 2 months. He wouldn't be ready to go for at least 2-3 weeks. You'd be putting him in your lineup hoping for a WR1 score but actually getting a dart throw off the bottom of the waiver wire score.4th&inches said:
So does this mean ATlanta has already picked up/activated his 5th year option, or they still can? Not sure exactly how that works...
This is…..a less than charitable approach.
That's a lot of power 1 player yields that can jeopardize an entire franchising by missing some regular season games.
I’ll stand up and say yes, I have some sympathy for Hernandez. He was clearly mentally disturbed. It must have really sucked to go through what he did. It doesn’t excuse his behavior or imply that I don’t have sympathy for his victims, but mental health issues are tricky and difficult and if we as a society had a little more sympathy and a little less judgement about folks who struggle, we’d all be in a much better place.
Thank you for that thoughtful contribution.Someone quoted this from Rally Monkey:
"Im just amazed you think I care about their NFL players feelings.
It sucks people try so hard to act like they are righteous about people they will never meet or interact with cuz they are on their fantasy team while attacking people they actually interact with.
The fake morals are amazing. Hurt? Empathy? Listen to you guys. LOL
Bet you people hope they get back in the game and pass the concussion test with lies to help your fantasy team though, eh?
So do you wanna talk football, or do you all wanna pretend to be Dr. Ruth as if it makes you look like men?
Empathy wouldnt even allow you to watch football as their brains are mush cuz of this game. Fake as heck as if you all cared, why let them play such a violent game knowing what this game does to their mental health. These saying things on the interent to justify your allowing the players to bash their head in, but pretend to care about their mental well being.
Its like those who watch MMA, but hope a guy doesnt get knocked out. "
I can't find where this post is, or even a post by Rally Monkey from the hour that it indicates in the quote, but this is spot on and I am giving it an unofficialreaction right here since I cannot find the post. I don't even have a problem with what Ridley has done. But these people everywhere pretending to weep and gnash teeth because people criticize the guy while he has mental difficulties. Gimme a break.
I'd like to see some stronger discussion on these 2 sentences and less about his current mental state and everyone wanting to take a position and sell themselves on their own .02
