FitzMagic 4,260 Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 I wish I had Samuels for that TE spot. Conner owner in my league scooped him up like three weeks ago. Link to post Share on other sites

LMAO at people buying the BS Tomlin is spewing about a contusion. Conner sprained his ankle. Pretty clear to me. Maybe he plays this week and puts up monster numbers, but I would be scooping up Samuels every chance I can get. Link to post Share on other sites

Sounds like the same nonsense from falcons saying Freeman was fine. I’d be shocked if Conner plays this week. I have a bye and have Samuels as a cuff. I got bashed on earlier for insinuating that Samuels at TE might even make my team stronger so I wouldn’t mind Conner sitting week 15 either. Link to post Share on other sites

oliminator123 3,448 Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Steelers have enough character where I could see Brown and JuJu convincing Conner to hobble around in front of the press for ***** and giggles. Especially after the report of him not limping last night. Link to post Share on other sites

Try last year when he had 1200 yards and was an RB2 despite the QB carousel. I don't think he is done and I think his release from Carolina had more to do with him being unhappy with his role than anything. He was probably expecting something similar to what J-Stew saw last year but his workload has been minimal. I'm kind of surprised the Chiefs didn't pick him up but that was the first situation that really made sense for him. I guess he could've potentially signed for a bad team but they likely don't care that much about who they have at RB at this point with their seasons effectively over and would prefer saving money.

We honestly don't know until the report comes out but I already made plans to get samuels so that one of my playoff opponents (who has Conner) can't replace conner just in case he misses 2 weeks Link to post Share on other sites

Very telling photo. With the weight of Phillips on his lower leg combined with the torque, it's likely a ruptured patella. Link to post Share on other sites
K197040 2,412 Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 and yes...it can be season ending and career threatening. Probably need to have a patelladectomy this offseason. We just don't have enough history of RB and this type of injury to really make a prognosis for fantasy purposes. Link to post Share on other sites

Photos captured at exactly the right moment can be deceiving, especially because body parts have flexibility to them normally. Link to post Share on other sites
RyanM915 24 Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 we have a bunch of fake doctors chiming in.. just listen to reports from actual credible people. that's all we can do. But let's also be realistic.. I wouldnt expect to see him practicing before Thursday if at all this week either. If he's sore and limping today, he's not going to be running through practice in just a few days. Link to post Share on other sites
