Last I heard Mathews could be out at least 2-4 weeks, so Tolbert is a great pickup for a few weeks. When Mathews goes down again you put him in again... Link? There is none, because NOBODY is saying that.

I have Tolbert in 4 out of my 5 NFFC leagues, having picked him up 2 weeks ago on the cheap after he looked good in Game #1. I would love nothing more than an extended Mathews absence, but at this point I think we'll just see a reduced role. I think he loses the GL carries and most of the 3rd down action. He was way over-drafted.

Matthews isn't even listed as out yet for this week and people have him out for 4 weeks.

Probably just coaching gamesmanship. My guess is it's the usual high ankle sprain and he'll be out a month - or worse, he'll rush back Turner-style and be unproductive for a few weeks, while his owners start him anyway. :rolleyes:

Now there's a question as to whether he really has a high ankle sprain at all.

There's a chance he's back in there next week.

I want to see tape of Eddie Royal or Jabar Gaffney getting double covered. Agree here. I saw the most of the game and never appeared that Eddie Royal was being double teamed.

Matthews vs Tolbert... Tolbert will likely steal away plenty of goaline carries and like bwazz said, sproles will get most of the catches out of the backfield.... The bottom line is that Matthews will not produce like the 2nd-rounder many thought. [/QUOTE]There was a safety over the top on Gaffney most plays

I got Demaryius Thomas for $2.00 (last week) latwttb!

The reason Turner couldnt get back last year was because he is fat eating white castles and cheetos.

Lol Skinrod...

About Mathews, I subscribe to rotoworld and get msot of my news from them, this was earlier last week and I thought they stated that he would be out 2-4 weeks but thankfully his outlook improved...
