Superbowlner Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 I'm in a league where we only have 5 bench spots. I also own Gronk and Steven Jackson... with the bye weeks it's getting tough to stash 3 injured players on my bench. With Roddy White turning out multiple half-assed performances so far this season, is it time to consider dropping him and let someone else use the bench space?

nelsosi Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 (edited) A 3-0 owner would be interested I'm sure - great stash for someone who can afford to be patient. Edited September 29, 2013 by nelsosi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cowboyz1 Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 No way I drop White. It's only week 4 due. WEEK 4 and you will be very sorry come week 8 through 17 while he is going off for his team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SecondString Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 I've heard that he's playing through a high ankle sprain to keep his consecutive games streak going, which is crazy. He should have just been out for all of this time in order to heal faster. After their bye week, I think he will be back to being the "normal" Roddy White. I would love to buy low on him right now.

Wolverines Fan Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 (edited) Per rotoworld: Roddy White revealed Friday he suffered a setback with his high ankle sprain in last Sunday night's loss to New England. White played 74-of-76 snaps against the Patriots, but emerged with the ankle feeling worse than it did before. "Yeah, and I learned a very valuable lesson from that," White said. "I ain’t where I need to be yet." White is already looking beyond Monday night's game against the Jets, and toward the Falcons' Week 6 bye. "I’ve got to get right," White said. "The bye week is coming at really, really good time. No vacation. No time off for Roddy. No cruising. No, none of that. I’ll be cruising right here in the training room."

Source: Atlanta Journal-Constitution Shocking - you continue to play on a high ankle sprain and it gets worse. I love Roddy but his injury business this season hasn't made a lot of sense to me. Seems like sitting out would have been better for everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scorcher Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 (edited) He needs to sit out and get right. Agree, and now they are 1-3 with Roddy playing obvious decoy. The Falcons need him before it is too late for a wild card. I don't understand why Smith lets him continue to play injured.

coordi88 Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 1-3 but the 3 teams they lost to are a combined 11-1. Clearly hes not making great decisions if hes playing 70+ snaps on a high ankle sprain. I would never drop him thought. Look for him to finish out the season super strong after the buy.

True but with White at full speed the outcomes could have been different. Part of the 11-1 is the 3 wins over the Falcons. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darin3 Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Dude has his active game streak going. Never struck me as a me-first, accolades kinda guy but I can't see any reason other than this streak to why he's playing. High ankle sprains are no joke. In most cases it'd actually be better (and faster-healing) to just break the bone. They're especially difficult for WRs (and RBs) to get over based on the cutting involved in playing the position. One week would not help much (ie, his bye week). The dude should have rested it coming into the season. He'd be over it by now. But instead, the injury has been exacerbated by trying to play through it (which is next to impossible). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hardway Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Reminds me of Andre Johnson in 2011, he kept suiting up and aggravating his ankle sprain, while producing nothing of fantasy value. Just sit and let it heal Roddy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darin3 Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Reminds me of Andre Johnson in 2011, he kept suiting up and aggravating his ankle sprain, while producing nothing of fantasy value. Just sit and let it heal Roddy! He had a solid Weeks 1-3, and then got hurt Week 4. He sat out until Week 11. Then he came back (perhaps too early) but managed one 4 catch, 97 yard effort before sitting the rest of the season (effectively... he did play Week 17). I kinda see where you're going but at least he rested the injury and came back when he felt he was ready. You make it seem like he was trotting out there every week like White is.... when in fact that is not the case at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slinger Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 is it time to consider dropping him and let someone else use the bench space? No....drop Steven Jackson, he will be worthless the remainder of the season. He's too old. Though I wouldn't have drafted Jackson nor Gronk, Especially Gronk since it's week 5 and you've gotten zero points from him so far, and only five bench spots, he's not helping you, but that wasn't your question.

brg88tx Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 this is really ridiculous. I have NEVER seen someone nurse a sprained ankle for almost 3 MONTHS!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keggerz Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 (edited) this is really ridiculous. I have NEVER seen someone nurse a sprained ankle for almost 3 MONTHS!!!!! fwiw, White aggravated the initial injury...he initially suffered the sprain that the team said was NOT a high ankle sprain on August 15th (2 1/2 months ago) but White latter admitted it was a high ankle sprain...had he not played from day 1 he probably would be back and 100% but he tried to gut it out and contribute. http://www.aofas.org...kle-sprain.aspx Recovery As mentioned above, the recovery for high ankle sprains can take considerably longer than typical ankle sprains. In fact, it can take six to seven weeks before athletes return to play. In those cases in which a separation of the tibia and fibula or fracture has occurred and surgery is necessary, patients will likely need to be nonweightbearing in a cast followed by a walking boot for about 12 weeks. It is important to do early range of motion passively, meaning with the help of a therapist that moves the ankle, so help avoid stiffness. The screws are commonly taken out in a second, small surgery before full weightbearing is allowed so they will not break. http://www.hss.edu/conditions_high-ankle-sprain-whats-different.asp High ankle sprains occur from sudden twisting injuries, which occur commonly in contact and cutting sports. Athletes will typically say the pain radiates up the leg from the ankle, and is worse with cutting motions that mimic the original twisting injury. The high ankle sprain is typically treated with the same treatment principles as for the common ankle sprain: Rest, ice, compression, and elevation – the RICE protocol. However, since the syndesmosis is subjected to such high forces with each step, the amount of rest needed tends to be longer than for the common ankle sprain – nearly twice as long in most studies. If the ligament is severely sprained, or even torn, a screw is sometimes placed between the tibia and fibula to hold the two bones together to allow for the ligament to scar and heal. Athletes will typically return to play within 6 weeks, but about half will experience symptoms for up to 6 months.
