Wolv Posted December 15, 2005 Author Share Posted December 15, 2005 Jamal who? 1216273[/snapback] Exactly. Billick needs the same mindset... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 Exactly. Billick needs the same mindset... 1216344[/snapback] I drafted him in the first round. Spain said he'd have a breakout year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TripleW64 Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 Word is that if you are starting him in the playoffs, go ahead and start planning for next season. 203 carries 638 yards 2 TDS :doah: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolv Posted December 15, 2005 Author Share Posted December 15, 2005 I was just wondering what the deal is with his mysterious thumb injury. Certainly not looking to play him. At this point its all about Chester Taylor value... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedroz13 Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 Last I heard he was the front-runner for the 'Bust of the Year". If I hear any updates I'll keep you posted. Read: who cares, if you are still playing in fantasy league playoffs it has nothing to do with Jamal, don't even think of starting him. Chester Taylor might be a decent play this week though if you are stuck at RB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goopster24 Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 I also remember Suzy Kolber said he was gonna have a breakthrough year. She said she had the inside info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slinger Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 I'm such an SOB. I had Jamal on my bench for the longest time but actually played him two weeks ago when he gain over 100 yards rushing in one game. Lucky me as the was the first time I started him in quite a while. Any way, my oponent for this week has LT, Westbrook, Patrick Pass. Having Westbrook go out with an injury for the season, he has only one starting RB going into the playoffs. Yikes for him, yeah! for me.... Since I had Jamal on my roster, I decide to make the big decision to finally drop him from my roster. After all, he just posted a 100 yard game for the previous week. The last two years, my opponent has drafted Jamal Lewis I had a hunch he would pick him up if I were to drop him. My hunch was correct, he added him to his roster later that evening. Poor guy didn't know about the thumb injury....I'm such an SOB ain't I? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geaux Saints! Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 If your still wondering about Jamal, you probably ain't in the playoff hunt! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyBalata Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 So...can any of you smart guys answer the f'n question? At this point I think it's pretty obvious no one is going to start Lewis this week, but some of us are sure interested if we can start Taylor.

Nowhere in my post did I say I have Lewis, nor wanted to start him. Its all about Taylor BTW, the Huddle reported that it looks like Lewis is gonna sit this one out.

Marauders11 Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 Heard benched for the rest of the season, can anyone confirm? 1218980[/snapback] I've hard similiar- the hand injury is just an excuse- apparently Lewis has had a bad attitude and basically quit on the team so they aren't gonna play him.

TheCMB Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 (edited) This is on CBS Sportsline... Ravens RB Jamal Lewis (hand) has been upgraded to probable and will play vs. Green Bay in Week 15. "It's good," Lewis said. "It's still a little bit tight, but I'll be all right. I'll be ready to go." This sucks. Ravens and Patriots are quickly becoming my least favorite teams in regards to fantasy football...

MudSkipper Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 Agreed. I was ready to start Chester and ride 20 plus carries. Should the fact that Jamal has been upgraded to probable damper things? I am in a postion like many of you where I am considering starting Chester in a flex starter position over people like Andre Johnson. Would starting Chester at this point be a big mistake? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCMB Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 (edited) Chester over Andre Johnson? Definitely. I'm still rolling with him over Warrick Dunn. How about Jamal's comments about being hit with the franchise tag? Yeah right! Like the Ravens would bother to lay the tag on him now - he wishes! He's looking at a low guarantee, incentive dependent contract for next year, my prediction - with the Cardinals.

Buffalo4 Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 Dec 16 Jamison Hensley, of the Baltimore Sun, reports Baltimore Ravens RB Jamal Lewis (hand) practiced Friday, Dec. 16, was upgraded to probable and is expected to play in Week 15. He may not start in favor of RB Chester Taylor, however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke davenport Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 (edited) This situation sucks. I needed Chester without the complications of Lewis. How does this slug get upgraded to probable? Sit him and see what you have in Taylor for next year. Plus he's earned the playing time. Edited December 17, 2005 by luke davenport Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
