NBatum88 2,187 Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 DJ owner from last year. He's pretty tough. I'd bet on him coming back sooner rather than later. good luck to all y'all.. Link to post Share on other sites
ChicksDigTheOPS 2,496 Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 (edited) I'm trying to see the silver lining here, which is that, most people with DJ, got him via sheer luck by having the top 1 or 2 pick, but this injury scare, and possible multi-week injury, will force his lucky owners to truly appreciate his awesomeness, while waiting- and after- his return. Or something. Edited September 10, 2017 by ChicksDigTheOPS Link to post Share on other sites

nonstopfan 4,593 Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 What this thread sounds like right now... "I think he is out just one week. Maybe two at the most. Could be 2-4 weeks. Maybe up to 8 weeks though. Who the hell knows. That's what I think" Link to post Share on other sites

In terms of recovery from ligament damage, I think 6 weeks is about the most he would be out. Hardly an expert though. Did you not hear about the Saints and their medical staff last week? lol Link to post Share on other sites

Nickdoggmoneycash 278 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 This is why season long fantasy football is too luck dependent... Unless DJ owners hit waiver wire gold, they're likely to not make the playoffs, let alone with the whole thing. Link to post Share on other sites
