ahavrilla Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 appeared to be on decoy duty in week 2, do you start him in week three or start looking at wr3 and wr4 options instead until he's healthy? For example, i could start t. austin or l. moore or dig up a ww darling matchup play. How low does fitz go on your week 3 rankings due to this injury?

Shorttynaz Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 (edited) Bench him in favor of Eddie Royal. Hard to say really. Hammy injuries seem to linger for a while. Even if Fitz were to play, how effective can he be. Easy for me to say it, but I think they should sit him a week or two and let it get as close to 100% as possible. Why risk aggravating it more and letting it become a bigger issue. At any rate, the obvious is to wait and see if he practices this week..

ahavrilla Posted September 16, 2013 Author Share Posted September 16, 2013 what worries me is that cardinals were pretty candid about it in the news "sorry fantasy owners" "game time decision" "i wish i was 80% when the game started" and then he was basically a decoy. I suppose if i was on the cardinals staff though i'd want the other team to prepare for fitz, game plan for fitz, and then use him as a decoy too. So i'm concerned that will happen again for a week or 2 instead of them resting him for a week or two until he is close to 100%. Am I crazy to entertain other options, might not be eddie royal exactly...though i suppose it could be. I was thinking more along the lines of using my bench for a couple weeks tavon austin/lance moore as my wr 2 or picking up marlon brown/roberts/harry douglas Any other opinions on fitz? What are you doing with him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riffraff Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Monitor his practices. If he doesn't practice in full by the end of the week, sit him. Goes for any injured player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darin3 Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 I was kind of surprised to see him play as a decoy, if that's what you want to call it. I figured Fitz to be the kind of guy that would go balls-out if he was good to go, otherwise wait a week and rest up. I'll be exploring FA options this week just in case.

I've already got some good options in case I need to bench him, Roberts being one of them. Edited September 17, 2013 by Tripleshot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fitz is sitting on my bench until further notice along with Roddy White. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Finally gets a QB and can't play effectively. I benched him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegrab Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Will wait to see what happens this week. I didn't have a chance to wait for late updates and swap him this week so I rolled with him. I could have subbed Reuben Randle in, but that wouldn't have helped me. I do have Edelman as well, but have been shopping him around. First time I recall Fitz playing and being a decoy like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take away his 3 TDs he had a very pedestrian day. He has never been a TD threat and still isn't. Are you willing to bet that lightning will strike again or that Defenses will take away his flukish play? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
