The minimum return time from a torn ACL is 4-5 months from what I understand, this is long after the fantasy season will have ended.
In all 3 leagues I am in, he didn’t even clear waivers before he was picked up after being dropped. Are these people morons or do they know something I don’t?
He has a torn ACL?! damn i just picked him up, maybe i should lay off the guitar hero for like 10 minutes and watch sportscentre lol.
im co-managing David D’s teams, and he’s going to kill me.
oh great.
I noticed that too and checked to see how good the players they released to pick him up were but they couldn’t dent my deep, yet highly inconsistent roster. Some people just don’t do any homework. I found out about his injury for the first time by clicking the link to see why he was dropped. It just reinforces the old saying, "If something is too good to be true, it probably is."
Chris: Don’t sweat it. Even on the IR, he’s probably more productive than the guy you released to get him. At least he know you tried now!

stupid guess, but it may be connected with Satan and his 666..
I dont do the fantasy thing, but i kinda understand the concept..
This doesnt seem like a wise choice.

He isnt listed as IR yet. People dont do research to why he was waivered? My guess.

I go with Morons!
People in keeper leagues will pick him up. If you are in a one year league it would make no sense.

I have him in my fantasy team, and it sucks that he got injured. Now my team has become really weakened. Bonus is I was short on games for my wingers so it might not be the end of the world.

I think in your case, people are not looking at the tag associated with his name. They see a big player that is available, and decide that IR is only short term. You are correct about the torn ACL. It should take that long for him to completely heal and get ready for games. Add on to the fact that Ray Whitney is posting numbers comparable to Williams, the people in your league are just not reading what kind of injury.

Last I noticed, he’s not listed as IR or DTD. Nobody bothered to check the lastest news. They probably figured "Look at that moron who dropped him, I’ll just scoop him up and get a great steal"

Because it doesn’t say "IR" or "DTD" next to his name, lmfao! Some people *cough*chris*cough*, just look at a player’s stats and pick him up based solely on that. Yahoo is slow with their injury reporting sometimes, you have to go check that the player isn’t injured people, or at least click the little newsflyer thing next to his name.
Btw, Chris, I’m sooooo gonna pick up Svatos now that you dropped him from David D’s team >:D lmao xD I don’t know, I’ll think about it though…

Lubers: Actually, Svatos has been on fire of late. You can see that jump in his step from his rookie season. Playing with Hlinka has really helped him.

Asked and answered. That is also a very low minimum, my understanding is that the ACL is more like 7-8 months minimum.

People are stupid, Zam. I think some people look for the big red glitzy, flashy "IR" or "DTD", and that is about it. Also, I have noticed that the herd follows the little folder (new update) looking icon next to player’s names, and never bother to see if it is good news or bad news.
Of course, these are the same people that breed, think Megadeth is better than Metallica, and prefer Natural Lite. So sad.
