Sandman, I agree. I've checked into the recovery process from a punctured lung, even if it's a tiny puncture...Recovery time varies, but playing QB in the NFL 7 days after puncturing your lung is ridiculously dangerous. Injury reports are used to each coach's advantage. I'm starting to wonder about the whole story.

A week after everyone is questioning Romo's leadership and toughness he plays with a cracked rib and a punctured lung...hmmmm...maybe the punctured lung neve happened....good spin to portray Romo as not having the weaknesses people were citing the week before.

This is the week DWilly proves his worth. CAR will get ahead and he and Stewart will pile on rushing yards in the 4th quarter.

Ride him now! so far this year i can't seem to pick the right guy....so i am going to "ride" the sandman here, , and go with willy

Good luck. We'll be on the horse right next to ya! (in one of our Onlines)

Of course, BJGE could score a TD or two. But I expect a shootout (despite NE usually having Fitzpatrick's #) and I think Woodhead's on the field more than Law Firm. We shall see.

[/QUOTE]Matt, that would be some story if the Cowboys did this just to raise public opinion about Romo. But even with Jerry (Springer) Jones, I don't think Romo would take part in such a false story. It did look a little like bad acting when Romo kicked dirt on the sidelines though...lol

What a crock. There was never any "collapsed" lung.
He got a painkilling injection which may have slightly intruded into his lung tissue, but "collapsed" or "punctured"? What a joke. He'd be in the hospital.

In that "other" league where TE receptions count as 1.5, is Marcedes Lewis startable this week? He practiced yesterday so he looks good to go. I also have Keller and there are 2 flexes. Was going to go with Daniel Thomas in the other flex.
Not sure if I should go with the second TE with 1.5 PPR.

Speaking of TE, Antonio Gates is being held out practice...and a game time decision. So much for a comeback year.

Cam Newton or Matt Ryan

I posted this on a different thread, but it may have been more appropriately put here:

Beanie Wells and Steven Jackson are my RB#1 and RB#2 on my Classic team, and they BOTH play in late games (of course) so I'll have to make my lineup decisions prior to game time.

My backups are Pierre Thomas and Jonathan Stewart.

Both Wells and Jackson have tough rushing matchups to boot: Wells vs. Seattle run D (surprisingly stout so far...held Gore and Mendy in check) and Jackson vs. Baltimore.

Any advice from anyone?
