msaint Posted December 12, 2004 Share Posted December 12, 2004 FYI... Just saw on Pats Gameday, Givens is out today. Why, I don't know. Check closer to gametime just to make sure, but they had him listed along with DGraham as definitely out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msaint Posted December 12, 2004 Author Share Posted December 12, 2004 Also, Fauria makes a pretty nice option if you're hurtin' at TE, was always a red zone target for Brady until Graham came along...and expect Dillon to get 25-30 carries. I'd bump up Branch & Patten a bit, too, if you need a deep WR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was probable, so I'm not too worried, but it'd be nice to know definitively that he is fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Czarina Posted December 12, 2004 Share Posted December 12, 2004 I'd guess that really bumps Branch up, not sure about Patten. I did bench Patten last week to my detriment last week though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busby Posted December 12, 2004 Share Posted December 12, 2004 From Rotoworld David Givens - WR - NE Reports out of Boston indicate that David Givens pulled a muscle in warmups and will not play for the Patriots today. David Patten should get the start. Deion Branch and especially Patten get a boost in value. It should be a shootout in Foxboro. Dec. 12 - 11:41 am et David Patten is expected to start at wide receiver for the Patriots today. David Givens is inactive. Patten is a fine last minute one-week pickup if you need help.

msaint Posted December 12, 2004 Author Share Posted December 12, 2004 Yup...bump up Patten alright. Just reeled in a lonnnng TD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vet Posted December 12, 2004 Share Posted December 12, 2004 Sadly, this could cost me a playoff spot in one of my leagues. I have a 1 game lead with 1 to play, but the tie-breaker is really close and I started Givens today. I don't believe Givens got hurt in pregame warm-ups. I guess that's what I get for trusting Bill Belechick who is known for screwing with the injury report. Hopefully my other guys can pull it out for me.

This was reported around 11:30-12 Noon, plenty of time for you to bench Givens. Too bad, man...hope it doesn't cost you. And Givens was not on the injury report all week, so I don't think it was any Belichick shenanigans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to be consumed by this stuff, but no more. By the way MSaint - I have your book. I love it - actually, I lived it for may years. I'm in a dynasty league that started in 1984. But - with 2 kids now, both ankle biters - and trying to start up a new business this year, I just don't have the time to run to the computer and/or watch all the pregame shows anymore. No big deal - Hopefully, I'll be OK without Givens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grits and Shins Posted December 12, 2004 Share Posted December 12, 2004 I had already benched Givens in the league I have him in because of his poor performance the last couple of weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
