Lynch is out!

My opponent this week picked up Rawls in week 4 and has held onto him all year. Scrub team with no shot at the playoffs, 4 game losing streak, 2nd to last in the league in points. Starts Rawls for the 1st time all season (I have Lynch) who accounts for over 1/3 of his score and he beats me, likely ending my hopes for the playoffs.

In 2 of my leagues yesterday the Lynch owner did not get him switched out for Rawls. Both of these guys are very into their fantasy teams so this is rare for them. Anybody else see this happen in their leagues yesterday?

I think he was listed as probable so most people weren't stressed about it.

Almost caught me as well. I was out Christmas shopping with the family and happened to look. I was expecting it to be the usual routine with him. Unfortunately at that point with all the injuries/byes I had my only other option was Starks.

Haha I feel like a stud with my last minute grab at Rawls to clinch my playoff spot. Then I realized I play with idiots because the No.1 Handcuff shouldn't be on waivers, but whatever.

 

Anyone hear news on whether or not surgery is gonna happen?

Don't know yet. He's going to see the same specialist that Hurns saw, and Hurns was able to play.

Reports indicate he was in a lot of pain before Sunday's game. I'm thinking he's going to go ahead and have surgery, and the Seahawks will roll with Rawls. Lynch should be back in time for the playoffs.

I need to go after Rawls NOW then. I'll offer Megatron and see if the owner bites. I'll wait for the reports and then jump hard and fast. My trade deadline is Thanksgiving.

If you can afford to do that, I would. Based on reports so far he's trending towards being out for the rest of the regular season. Obviously that could change, but I think that's a risk worth taking especially if you need help at RB and can afford to let go of Megatron. Once it's confirmed that Lynch is out and Rawls is the starter, Rawls' value is going to shoot through the roof. It's going to take a lot more than Megatron to swing him then.

I'm extremely weak at RB, but "stable" at wide receiver with Julio Jones, Megatron, LaFell, and D. Jax. My RBs are Lacy, Draughn, and M. Jones. So yeah, I'm desperate. That's the price of a 16 team league.

I'm thinking question as he will visit a specialist and found nothing about a decision being made.

Yeah, I was just double checking. My understanding is that we actually won't hear until tomorrow when he visits the specialist, but that if it is confirmed he will actually have surgery tomorrow.
