myhousekey Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Sounds like the MRI came back good but now I'm hearing reports he still may sit out against Arizona in Week 12.... Anyone else have any news? 11/18/08 11:54 AMTHE NEWS Updating an earlier report, Brandon Jacobs may not play in Week 12 due to his knee injury, according to the NY Daily News. He said, "I could line up and go play on Sunday if our team was in serious need of a running back. But as everyone knows, they�re not. We have a stable of horses lined up and ready to go. So I could play if I wanted to and I needed to, but I don�t know if they�ll let me." Our View His MRI showed no structural damage, but he is dealing with swelling that is causing concern. Fantasy owners may be wise to pick up Derrick Ward for insurance if available on the waiver wire, in case Jacobs is held out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrooklynCrew Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 It would not surprise me at all if they sat/limited jacobs this weekend... we'll have to wait and see if he practices this week. He's been fairly injury prone in his short career, so they may be extra cautious with Ward and Bradshaw running so well lately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
51Butkus Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Sounds like he'll see limited touches, if he does suit up. Which is good news for SUPERCRUNCH! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose228 Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 If Jacobs is out would the starter be Ward or Bradshaw?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty Sanchez Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 If Jacobs is out would the starter be Ward or Bradshaw?? I would think Ward would get the start, but they would split the carries close to 50/50. They would both be good plays this week if that were the case.

Bonedaddies Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 It will not matter who is running the ball as the Cardinals will win this game and set up a rematch for the NFC championship game Call me crazy......but this is the year for the Cards!!

pig devilz Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 I would think Ward would get the start, but they would split the carries close to 50/50. They would both be good plays this week if that were the case. i tend to agree with this logic. each week it's been a rbbc with jacobs in there, why change it now. plus, if the injury isn't that bad and jacobs is back in a week, why burn out ward in one week. i see ward taking jacob' role and bradshaw taking ward'...if jacobs doesn't play one concern is who returns kicks....does bradshaw still fill that position and also get enough touches/looks in or out of the backfield?

They would both be good plays this week if that were the case. im not so sure its 50/50...id be willing to bet its more like 66/33 Ward getting the majority.

FWmaker Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 For FF purposes, I was hoping Jacobs would be playing, but with 3 divisional games in a row and a 3-game division lead, I can't see the Jints playing him in week 12. That being said, I see 66/33 Ward over Bradshaw unless the game gets out of reach, then more touches go to Bradshaw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, I know it's a Fantasy Football forum... but that's near to me as a Jets fan proclaiming they are bound for the Super Bowl. They beat NE, right? Yeah, but they lost to 'em too.... my gravy has no drugs in it. The AZ D has no run stoppers in it. Nuff said. Back on topic....Right now, Jacobs fully practiced today and is officially "probable". That probably means he starts, get 10 touches, and Ward gets 20? What a cluster flock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonedaddies Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 He lives in New Orleans. Grew up in the STL.....back in the days of Hart, Metcalf, Green, etc......team moved, but my love for them remained.....tough life I know, they have not given many reasons to get excited......and yes, have said this is "our year" since the late 80's....it's coming I can fell it baby!!
