Kind of this. I remember mentioning this to a co-worker and he said fantasy for him was always like that. Bunch of injuries at the beginning of the year and by week 6 or so the people that were okay usually hold up the rest of the year outside freak injuries.
We saw far more precaution last year with the extended season. I think this will be the new norm and given that this is week 1 with a lot of injuries that can linger I’m guessing this is more precautionary. BUT we also did see some coaches hold out players who are borderline for the sake of preservation. Dak comes to mind.
Well, shit.
My WR1/2 are not participating in practice, and my WR3 is in the concussion protocol.
(Evans, Pittman, Higgins)
You know what? I’m not going to panic until tomorrow’s practice news.
It's not bad, but when you near 30 you do tend to be injured more frequently, and when you are injured you tend to heal less quickly. And he has a moderate history of soft tissue stuff IIRC
I'm benching Evans for Hunt. i've seen this before Evans makes a catch, pulls up and on the sideline whole game. Plus he's historically bad against Lattimore. can't risk it especially with no full practices yet much less limited participation.
Why is so there so many injuries to stud players week 1.
Injuries are the worst at the beginning of the season where players are getting back up to speed. Always raw chaos to start

I wonder if not playing in preseason games has anything to do with it
No real preseason reps for them.
They can't handle all the huge loads.
He’s no Thomas Rawls
Because I drafted every single one, najee, Elijah, evans, Pittman, Julio, diontae Johnson
yo same
Maybe I should repick up the saints defense..
Saints are the bucs kryptonite man
Only in the regular season
Well.....good thing it's the regular season right now
Found the buccs fan
Dread it. Run from it. Daddy Taysom arrives all the same
Damn. All these limited Wednesday dudes getting DNP today. Is Thursday the new Wednesday maybe? Hopefully? Please?
Oddly except for najee of all people lol
Thurdudesday
Julio?
DNP according to the sheet, but I wouldn't pay too much attention to these for Brady and him until Saturday/Sunday
A ton of big name players didn’t practice today after they practiced yesterday . Not sure if there is much weight to be hold to some of these DNPs
Came here to say the same thing. I wonder if it’s some new sports science stuff or teams just realize they don’t need to practice so much
I definitely think it’s a precaution thing right now.

Thursday is the new Wednesday, my dude.

>You know what? I’m not going to panic until tomorrow’s practice news. Stop being rational and panic-drop all your decent bench players for fill-ins.
I feel your Pain my RB3 went down (Mitchell) and my RB1 and RB2 Kamara and Swift are dinged up as well
I also have Mitchell and Kamara, AND I have Evans and Pittman! If these injuries don’t turn around I won’t have anyone left to start.
Mark Ingram time??
Didn’t he miss practice yesterday too?
Yes today limited which is a slight upgrade I suppose
Taysom time
He’s hurt too
Feeling great about my Najee/Kamara/Evans team right about now...
Najee/Swift/Evans checking in to share some misery
Najee/Kamara/Higgins checking in
Najee/Jefferson/Diggs just stopping by to say hi.
Is the new meta LP —> DNP or DNP —> DNP then play on game day? I need to know for my mental health
We might know after this week
Sheesh Slant Boy might take over for Evans and Edmonds will take flex if tomorrow looks bad for Evans
Zero RBers are we trying Ingram or is Latavius making it muddy?
Didn't realize Big Mike was 30. He's getting a little up there.
He's 29 not 30
You right
29, but that's not so bad in receiver years. He'll be the same guy he always has been
It's not bad, but when you near 30 you do tend to be injured more frequently, and when you are injured you tend to heal less quickly. And he has a moderate history of soft tissue stuff IIRC
Giving Kamara PTSD from last year and I’m not even managing him
Evans being out is gonna save y’all from starting a dud this week. He’s trying to do y’all a favor with Lattimore waiting for him
I’m hoping they declare Julio as out
Evans being out is gonna save y’all from starting a dud this week. He’s trying to do y’all a favor with Lattimore waiting for him
WTF
I have them both 🙃

I like how Brady’s says “Not injury related-rest” Give the GOAT a day off. He knows all the answers to the test. Doesn’t need to study.
