piratesownninjas Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 myfantasyleague.com just reported that Pinkston is out for the year with the achilles injury. Looks like Reggie Brown and Greg Lewis' stock rose quite a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtomicCEO Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 I'm the Pinkston owner in Fusion... I'm the Greg Lewis and Reggie Brown owner in Fusion! I actually think this will be better in the long run... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigmike4969 Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 (edited) EDIT: Sorry this is a repost of info. From the Eagles official site... BETHLEHEM, Pa. -- Receiver Todd Pinkston and running back Correll Buckhalter both left Friday morning's practice with injuries. Pinkston suffered an Achilles injury and will undergo an MRI. Buckhalter, who has lost two seasons due to knee injuries, once again hurt his knee. Both injuries occurred during the team's live period. First, Buckhalter came up limping after a run between the tackles. He was examined a short time on the sideline before being taken to the trainer's tent for further examination. A short time later, Pinkston got tangled with cornerback Matt Ware while going for a pass down the left sideline. Pinkston got up briefly, but then laid down and awaited medical attention.

piratesownninjas Posted August 5, 2005 Author Share Posted August 5, 2005 Reggie Brown's 2005 fantasy value soars ... Published Fri Aug 5 2:28:00 p.m. ET 2005 (Rotoworld) Reggie Brown's 2005 fantasy value soars following the news that Todd Pinkston will miss the season. Impact: Brown has wowed coaches all off-season, but he was battling for the third receiver spot at best. Now he can compete to be a starter. Even if he starts the year behind Greg Lewis, the former Georgia star could see his role grow. He's worth a look in deeper leagues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainHook Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 The Eagles love to go "live" don't they? And then they have the most injuries every year. could the two be related? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keggerz Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 the sleeper here is Billy McMullen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avernus Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 the sleeper here is Billy McMullen 912823[/snapback] you mean Greg Lewis...people still don't even mention McMullen... someone compared lewis to MH ... ...but that was last camp, and I liked this cat all of last season... McMullen is already being set aside by Reggie Brown....even Dawkins was talking about him yesterday and how he's really picking up the playbook quick...unlike McMullen and FredEx....this kid is going to fill the slot nicely unless he beats out Lewis for the starting spot... Lewis wasn't starting before because Pinkston was signed to a long term contract and they don't like doing that.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darin3 Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 I'd put Brown ahead of Lewis in sleeper rankings, IMO. Achilles injury? :doah: And I speak from experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Achilles injury? :doah: And I speak from experience. 912856[/snapback] I like both of them more than Pinkston...so I guess it doesn't matter.. but Brown is still in his 1st year in the system...regardless of how fast he's picking it up...I think it will play a factor in him starting unless he's just amazing... this situation will play itself out...I wish I could have my draft on the 27th instead of the 20th Edited August 5, 2005 by Avernus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

notamomo Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 Let's Review: Eagles top receivers from last season: Terrell Owens- not a happy camper, and I'm not convinced that he plays his season Brian Westbrook- not a camper at all. Doesn't look good right now. Todd Pinkston- Done for the year. Freddie Mitchell- In KC L.J. Smith- Big bump for LJ? Chad Lewis- still busted up. IS McNabb really a top-tier QB with this mess going on with the Eagles O? I wouldn't take him unless he seriously fall. Not looking good in Eagles camp right now.
