donald brown out 2-3 weeks

ramones951 · 10-10-12, 12:31 PM

Hurry and pick up Vick Ballard since your league's waivers have probably cleared and they're on free agency

I just did the same

convick · 10-10-12, 03:05 PM

Fukk me. I just traded for Brown too, accepted the trade Monday and now this.

dudekid · 10-10-12, 03:12 PM

can we get the offical "i just traded for donald brown and then this shit happened club" going?

i loved his rest of the year schedule too, this is such a dagger

ramones951 · 10-10-12, 03:24 PM

It shouldn't really affect him too much once he returns, it just really hurts me because I'm in a virtual must-win scenario this week.

This news literally came out 2 hours after I made my trade

convick · 10-10-12, 03:40 PM

I added Ballard but I think I'm going to end up rolling with Shonn Greene in the RB2 slot.

Mikail · 10-10-12, 03:45 PM

seems like these type of scenarios always happen when one is in a must win situation the coming week.

Is Ballard much better?

Brown is their clear starter but if you are shallow at RB you don't have much of a choice other than to handcuff him. All other waiver candidates were probably already claimed this morning.

MexicanStallion · 10-10-12, 04:36 PM

That is crazy to hear. I was going to recommend Brown as an option to trade for, because my friend needed RBs bad. Now he has a Free Agent pick up at least.

Alex Green or Ballard?

Alex Green I feel. More upside, and could/should be the starter for rest of season.
D.Brown gets his gig back once he returns, unless V.Ballard goes out and tears it up.

Sucks how these "BYE Week" fill-in type RB/WR's get hurt right in time for the BYE Weeks.

veeds1690 · 10-10-12, 09:14 PM

I traded for D. Brown last week, he helped my team to a win then gets hurt. He'll be back.

In a predicament now for this week. I grabbed Vick Ballard. Do I go w/ him or LeShoure in the flex? Right now I lean Ballard because of how horrid the Jets rush D is.

xraygord · 10-10-12, 09:41 PM

See ya later Brown. lol oh well too bad

Jrod124 · 10-10-12, 09:47 PM

Vic Ballard only if u are hurting at RB. Guy is not going to set the world on fire but will get touches. Prolly 5-8 FP in standard leagues

Yeah, Im going to have to think this one over. Greene has been a bag of aholes since wk 2. I also got Leshoure so I dont know which one Im going to end up starting. Might have to use one in the Flex position.
