NFL.com : Hernandez Out vs Colts

[danam404]

Saw this when setting my fantasy lineup. Hope it is incorrect.

Looks like Gresham is going to get the start for my fantasy team again this weekend. As for my real team?

Report: Aaron Hernandez will miss another game | ProFootballTalk

I just swhooped Hernandez off the wire because his previous owner got tired of him. TE is my only real weakness, if he comes back in a few weeks o should be set for the play-off push.

 

[Modest]

Glad Ive got Gates as well, but at 3-7 it doesn't really matter.

 

[CityOfChampions]

hopefully they're just being extra cautious.

 

[Kid~Brady]

He's out. They just reported it.

Still the 8th best offense in NFL history without him, I just want to see all four of them together.

 

[Kontradiction]

They shouldn't have rushed him back.

 

[Brady_to_Moss]

Yeah i didn;t expect him to play. Fantasy team is suffering big time. If he is still out..i think he will be out another 2+ weeks. It's not a sprained ankle anymore IMO. Maybe surgery needed?

With Welker banged up as well..not good

 

[BadMoFo]

Good ole glassy ankle.

I like the guy, but, he is reminding me of Glass Joe Maroney.

Don't ever do that again.

It's to be expected, if you've followed his career at all. He was banged up quite a big at Florida too. When he's on the field, he's a big difference maker. I will say, though, that if Hernandez were to be the true "Welker replacement", the team should take a look and assess the amount of games Hernandez has missed over his career and factor that into the proceeding contract negotiations with Welker in the offseason.

 

[Foxypats]

I hope this isnt so serious that they put him on IR. It sounds like its more than an ankle injury.

 

[Sciz]

Makes a lot of sense. Play him on Sunday, and he only has four days before playing again. Hold him out until Thursday, and then he gets 10 days to heal up before the next game.

And let's be honest. The Pats shouldn't need him to score lots of points against the Colts. Now if both Hernandez and Welker are out, then I'll be a little worried.

 

[Patriot Missile]

OT fantasy wise this guy is the weak link on my team. 6--4 still but cant help but think his being out was the result of 2 or 3 of those losses. Always stop gap waiver wire pickups to try to pick up the slack.

He will come back when he is ready I guess. Would love to see what this offense could do with him. Little scared at the depth this week if Welker sits.

 

[Deus Irae]

This place is really slipping....

Ok, there we go. Now the thread feels more 'right'.

 

[Nehalem]

Should we start calling him Aaron Glassnandez?

 

[Mack Herron]

I hope this isnt so serious that they put him on IR. It sounds like its more than an ankle injury.

He'll be fine. They just brought him back too soon and now they are paying the price. Hopefully they don't repeat the mistake with Welker.
