Week 7 Discussion Thread

[revo]

Jimmy Graham OUT
Rashard Mendenhall & Ike Redman OUT
Ahmad Bradshaw "very" questionable
Dez Bryant expected to play

[Erik]

Mohammed Massaquoi out, not that anyone should be starting him anyway.

[revo]

So who do we like better long term for fantasy purposes --- Andrew Luck or RGIII?

I'd take RGIII for his rushing ability, which could get him another 500+ yards. Not that Luck will not be mobile, but I don't believe to that extent.

Fred Davis out for WASH (Achilles?), and could be for .. a while longer.

One combined punt, 0 turnovers in 1st half of NYG vs WASH.

Torn Achilles, out for the season.

The Skins are running all over the G-Men today, despite the score.

[Judge Jude]

Uh, the Redskins didn't overpay for Griffin.
Holy moly.

[JudeBaldo]

My God how good is the Manning to Cruz connect. Sheesh.

Uh, the Redskins didn't overpay for Griffin.
Holy moly.

He's a really nice guy. There is none of that star athlete persona you run into a lot. My wife was doing a food demonstration at Walmart. RG III came up, dressed in Baylor gear. She asked if he was on the basketball team (he's tall enough to be a short guard). He said, "I play basketball."

Sitting Santana Moss wasn't a great decision. But there's no way I could have known that the move was to play him at flex over MJD. Anyone have an update on MJD's foot?

Long-term RG3 vs. Luck depends on how long you define as "long term." I'm not convinced RG3 is headed for a 10+ year career with the way he runs. For the next 5 years, I'll take RG3, but if you start looking beyond that, Luck could be a 15-year guy.

Falcons 6-0 at Eagles 3-3

For those of you planning to take this game in the Week 8 Odds Thread, keep in mind that the Eagles under Reid have NEVER lost the week after their bye. Not once in 14 years.

Also that the Falcons under Smith have not been nearly as good on the road as at home.
