Vick Ballard done for the year

[mudloggerone]

The Indianapolis Star is reporting that a knee injury that Ballard suffered at practice yesterday has knocked him out for the rest of the season. Bradshaw now has the chance to assume the featured back roll for the pass happy Colts.

Vick Ballard tore his ACL in Thursday's practice and has been placed on IR.

Oh snap! no pun intended....that is a big deal, as I am not sure Bradshaw is ready for a full load yet.....

Here comes Andrew Luck, throwing on 70% of downs!

I snickered to myself when my nephew reached in the draft and took Bradshaw sooner than I would have ever considered. Now he'll go as far as his surgically repaired feet will take him and a whole lot sooner than anyone should have thought.

Reggie Wayne, whom I own in 33 leagues, just added 2 catches per game as well.

 

[mudloggerone]

I have him in my $$ league Axe so I hope you're correct- ppr to boot.

Those who are RB needy could pick up Donald Brown. Not a great RB, but could get significant playing time if/when Bradshaw gets injured. He will be the "next man up" with only a practice squad call up playing behind him.

 

[mudloggerone]

Good point Fire cuz we know it's very unlikely that Bradshaw will be good to go for any where near the season.

Indy better put Ahmad Bradshaw in a protective case or something. Donald Brown is quite unspectacular.

my rb depth is taking a beating.....first Brown, now Ballard...i have lost depth in about every league i am in.

Seems to be the story on most. Either it's 1 of those 2 guys or Vareen. Early season RB woes

The only guy I've really lost so far is Bell, and he should be back in a month. There was only one league I had him as more than a RB3 though, so it hasn't hurt too bad--although Lamar Miller was my RB3 in that league, so it does sting a little.

My draft was so bad I didn't get the chance for any of these players lol

HUH ???

Bell, Brown, Barner, all out. Brown, Sproules left. Isn't that your doing ???

Assuming you're referring to Norm's team in the Shula league, I suppose you could say that--I just don't consider that one of my teams, since I was just improving Norm's train wreck of a team by taking over while he was away. But yeah, I'm sure he will be glad when Bell gets back, too.

In Landy league I was lucky to have both Bradshaw and Ballard. Thanks for the assist.

Nice to see you back on line Coach..........

 

[Coachnorm]

Thanks, it's been an itch that I couldn't scratch being off line......

 

[Axe Elf]

So does this mean I don't have to do your lineups and waivers any more?
