Of those 5, only 1 played 16 games and didn’t regress. That player is: LaDanian Tomlinson When a player is getting tackled 400 times in one season, it’s hard to expect their body to recover, even with a full offseason of rest (or rehab in DJ’s case). 19 minutes ago, boltup15 said: Yes... was including the hits they take from pass blocking. Not a single rb had 400 touches last season... Nobody is talking about pass blocking other than you, and god knows for what reason. Feel free to point me to a website with pass blocking stats. Yes DJ only had 373 touches. Not 400. Huge difference, right? Regardless, large workloads often aren't repeatable and the 400 touch thing is common fantasy knowledge if you've been playing for awhile: http://www.footballguys.com/06yudkin_400touches.php https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/football/news/2015-fantasy-football-draft-prep-400-touch-running-backs/ Edited September 12, 2017 by Iron-cock Link to post Share on other sites

I agree large workloads are hard to repeat. All I was saying is RB's get hit all the time whether it's running, receiving or pass blocking. I pulled the 400 # out of my ***. You're thinking too hard about this 400 number.. Edited September 12, 2017 by boltup15 Link to post Share on other sites

If they're out of the division and playoff picture when he's ready to return, why bring him back? This is just terrible. I own DJ in one league and I think I'd really rather just have him out for the year so I could comfortably drop and move on. Is it time to label DJ as injury prone yet? The knee last year and now this? It's probably too early for that as this is a pretty fluky injury but it's going to take awhile for me to get over the sting of this injury. 1) DJ wants to play 2) Fans want to see him play = ticket sales 3) Bruce Arians doesnt seem like the type of coach who would just give up unlike Todd Bowles 4) The type of injury sustained by DJ is not a type that could be aggravated Link to post Share on other sites

Anyone smarter than me care to weigh in on the topic? Nope. A break is easier to heal. This is worse, hence the need for surgery Link to post Share on other sites
ccsae 294 Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Between now and week 9 , they get IND and SF twice.. and LAR. I know they suck without DJ, but hopefully they are still in the playoff picture or close to it.. Link to post Share on other sites
