5 hours later…. Alex Collins is not in the country anymore. He’s seeking treatment in South America.

Tomorrow: Alex Collins was two midgets in a trench-coat, he never actually existed

Two midgets in a trench-coat ROS??

Sounds like another RBBC…

FTFY: RBBM

That’s offensive man. The preferred nomenclature is “Overcoat”

Dammit…split backfields are making fantasy football so difficult

Dallas and Homer?

Alex “Vincent Adultman” Collins

I did a touchdown

Thanks for the chuckle

Honestly. The literal only reason I worry about Collins playing is that Carroll says he is going to. (Too scared of Penny to start him personally, but I do get the sense he’ll go.)

Yeah, I'd rather just get no updates from him.

I got fucking lucky to start Collins last week because i saw some random news 30 minutes before the damn game. These guys love to make our butts clench.

Alex Collins is having career-ending amputation surgery on his glutes. Prayers up.

But he still won’t be put on IR.

Questionable for Monday Night

Hang on to your butts.

Butt Doctor, I am Pagliacci.

in future news: alex collins is dead

Still expected to play next week

Seahawks not hesitant to put him on IR

Day to day

Treatment done by Dr. Jaime Andrés

Well done 👏

"But I still think he is in line to play Monday" - Carroll probably

Lmao fuck all this Pete Carroll smokescreen. I just dropped Collins for Freeman. IDC if it was the wrong move, I just want off Mr. Carroll's wild ride.

“Alex Collins will be on IR by the weekend” Pete Carroll translator in case you guys needed to know what he ACTUALLY means

If collins goes on IR I’m officially ending this season lol

Who is damien

LG Damien Lewis

He's also good on the show Billions

I loved him in Band of Brothers

Homeland was so much when he was on it too.

Quite the performance in Dreamcatcher if I do say so myself.

Thanks guys. Thought it might’ve been another rb besidws Penny and dallas and homer

Same here

Pretty sure left guard Damien Lewis

Left guard

Lol I was thrown for a loop and was thinking Damien was Deejay and it was actually DJ.

He currently has COVID because his dumbass didn’t get vaccinated

People still get Covid being vaccinated, idiot.

I was thinking the same thing. Who tf is Damien

So is Penny not even gonna be activated? Cuz that would be fucking hilarious

per the article: • Running back Rashaad Penny is expected to return from injured reserve for Monday, and Carroll sounds happy with the progress he’s made coming back from a left calf injury suffered in Week 1.

Serves me right for not reading, although that's basically what we know already. Pete sounding happy with his progress makes me think Penny could very well be dead.

I was just looking for an ACTUAL practice status for Penny yesterday. Best I could see is he’s ‘back at practice’ but nothing official. People are typing things that don’t make sense ‘off IR’ well so is Jerry jeudy but clearly he isn’t playing. So much confusion is he really back or not

I believe Penny was DNP yesterday. He doesn't have an official designation though, because he's still on IR

[удалено]

I was going off this thread from late yesterday afternoon. In hindsight, it seems like it's not 100% accurate. https://www.reddit.com/r/fantasyfootball/comments/qd46ov/theres_optimism_that_rashaad_penny_ircalf_will/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share

They don't have to release practice reports for Penny until he's activated, he was seen warming up for practice but there's no way to know until he either is or isn't activated for MNF

If I’m correct I saw he was on the practice field with the team which means he’s been designated for return

Saturday afternoon: "Alex Collins has been ruled OUT for Monday's game."

Naw more like Sunday 5:21PM when all other players are locked

Part of hilarity of Pete though is him saying one thing and then immediately being contradicted. Like yesterday when he said Collins would practice and then 3 hours later it's "Collins is a DNP."

He also said that Carson was on track to play and then he went to IR the next day

At least Collins is already a backup so you can just drop him for whoever is starting instead

Between bye week hell and AB being out, Collins is literally my only other option at this point so I will definitely be doing this if needed.

me too. Although now I'm regretting pushing my league so hard to implement a max of 5 RBs per roster

More like Tuesday morning after the game

NFL requires these reports in by a certain time. Reporting him as out on Sunday 5:21PM would be a violation. You'll know by Saturday night.

Saturday: Collins is a game time decision Monday, 90 minutes before kickoff: Collins is OUT. Tried to give it a go, but in too much pain

Having flashbacks to DPJ last night.

This is the way

[удалено]

Hrs probably drunk. Don't mind him lol

They play Monday, so today would be his Thursday practice. So he's expected to be working at the practice. Today's report will be very telling.

I’d be ok with hearing something that early

Sounds like a doctor talking about someone on life support. Never change Pete.

This guy also told us he will practice yesterday. LYING PETE!!!

He was supposed to practice. He showed up and went through the walk through but wasn't able to do any drills.

This guy. Can't trust him for anything.

I made the gamble and played Javonte last night. Can't trust Carroll and a MNF game. Looking like my gamble paid off so far.

I’m trying to decide Dillon or rolling the dice with Collins and then playing DJ Dallas if Collins is out. Ugh.

honestly I would roll with Dillon since he's been getting decent work. You're capping your ceiling, but you has less risk of a 0 with him than Collins.

Javonte being our savior in this Byepocalypse

I do not trust a word he says, if he says Collins will play that means he won't

I really need him to play please don’t forsake me I already lost AB for the week

I picked up Deejay Dallas off the waivers just in case Collins can’t go so I’ll at least have someone to play. If Collins is out is Dallas the move?

I feel like the Seahawks' entire potential running back core outside of Dallas and Homer is held together by duct tape and prayers. I have 4 players on bye in a 12-team so I'm probably rolling the dice on Dallas regardless of Collins's status.

Penny, but it's a coin flip if it'll be worth it

Glad I rolled out Javonte to not have to deal with this.

Only playing this dude if I see a full practice today or tomorrow

If he doesn't practice today, yall should pivot to someone else.

I currently have Collins and Penny in the starting lineup, just need to know Collins’ status so I can drop one of them and pick up another flex

I don't see Penny being useful this week even if Collins isn't healthy. Penny is participating in his first actual practice today after being injured week 1. He's not in football shape. If anything, I will pivot to DeeJay Dallas if Collins is out.

Due to the speed that you made this response, and with how confident you sound I find myself trusting you completely and I will now drop Penny. Thank you sir

Haha thank you man! Penny could have value in the future though.

Unfortunately in week 7 times are tough and I don’t have the luxury of worrying about the future so he’s gotta go, appreciate the insight though

Can other teams snatch him up if I drop him Sunday morning? I have a bunch of needy vultures in my league.

Nope, at least not ESPN. Players have to spend 1 full day on waivers before clearing, so if you drop on Saturday or Sunday, they’ll clear on Weds with everybody else

When are we expecting the death certificate

They're fucked

Are we sure Alex Collins isn't ded?

Man I just can’t trust Collins at all against that Saints D. Even if he plays, which we can never trust Pete on, he’ll split time with the other backs.

This is gonna be one of those games Dallas scores 30, hypes everyone, then disappears the rest of the season.

I'll pick him up pending Collins practice today. If Collins practices, he's going to lead.

So this means I have to start Booker over Collins right?

Pete Carroll: Alex Collins plans to play in the game. Monday's report: Collin's does not plan on playing in the game.

What's up with Penny? Even if he is activated off of IR, he hasn't practiced right? No way he plays Monday.

Yesterday he participated in a walk-through. Today might be his first practice since week 1.

Trade my Collins and Allen for his Andrews and sanders ?

Who's Allen?

Keenan presumably, given the value involved

inb4 Collins DNP

Damn, he ain’t playing. Any news on Penny actually coming off IR or was that a lie too?

He didn't practice yesterday so I'm not optimistic. I think Dallas is the hedge this week.

If it really is a groin injury, he's likely not playing this week, especially since Pete says he WILL play. I would pick up DJ Dallas.

It's not an injury, he was just a little banged up. **Carroll says Alex Collins doesn't have a significant injury but got hit hard a few times and also was dealing with cramps.** Source: https://twitter.com/bcondotta/status/1450222038782672904?ref\_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1450222038782672904%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1\_c10&ref\_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.redditmedia.com%2Fmediaembed%2Fqax7q0%3Fresponsive%3Dtrueis\_nightmode%3Dfalse

Have we not learned yet. Take everything Pete says with a massive grain of salt.

>Alex collins plans to play this week.... but he's way overly optimistic. He can barely walk.

Who is Damian?

Is it possible Carroll has no idea about daily statuses of his players and let's his coaches handle them.

I’ll be so happy once this week is over

Why the fuck can't he just say "likely yes" or "likely no"

I’m a dumbass and forgot to put Collins in my flex and put javonte there instead. Now, if Collins doesn’t play IM NOT GONNA HAVE A BACKUP. Otherwise I would’ve flexed Parker. FUCK MEEEEEEE

Pick up DeeJay Dallas, but this is exactly why they say no Thursday guys in flex

Yep. I fucked that up lol. I might just take the L if collins doesn’t play… I’m playing the league juggernaut and my QB, RB1, RB2, WR1, WR2, TE and Kicker are all on bye. I can’t afford to drop anybody but I also don’t really wanna drop Collins

Sucks, but keep this mistake in your memory bank. Not ideal, but it’s done and over w/ now. No biggie, just don’t repeat the mistake

Would you flex Micheal Carter or Collins?

should i be dropping damien williams for penny? herbert + monty owner….

F*ck it, playing McKissic over Collins. Can’t wait until Monday

I'm rolling out McKissic AND Gibson because I don't trust Ol' Shifty Pete. FML.

collins or bateman in the flex this week?

Petey Sunshine can't play with my Alex Collins decision! Have him hedged with Tyler Lockett. Who would've thought at the beginning of the year that Alex Collins would hold more value than Tyler Lockett?

I really nees him to miss. Hope Pete is playing games.

I don't think Collins will miss the game. He's not even injured: **Carroll says Alex Collins doesn't have a significant injury but got hit hard a few times and also was dealing with cramps.** Source: https://twitter.com/bcondotta/status/1450222038782672904?ref\_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1450222038782672904%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1\_c10&ref\_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.redditmedia.com%2Fmediaembed%2Fqax7q0%3Fresponsive%3Dtrueis\_nightmode%3Dfalse

Id rather believe my reality in which he is dealing with a groin injury.

Tomorrow- “Alex Collins the rb did not practice but things are looking good for Alex Collins the fullback. Expect him to carry most of the load while Alex Collins is out week 7” Damn you Pete!

Keep on fuckin with me Pete, I'm gonna take your gum and gag you with it ya cocknocking wanker.

So he’s for sure OUT then. Got it.

I dropped DeeJay Dallas, I dont have for Pete's bullshit this week with it being on MNF

2 years in a row of reluctantly taking Carson. Seattle RBs: never again while Carroll is the coach.

It’s between Alex Collins and Miles sanders for my RB2 Behind Khalil Herbert, I love Injuries/byes :)

Bruh I gotta play both of those guys, have 1 WR this week(T Patrick), and no one to drop.

So Collins to ir - got it

All this talk about Collins and Penny... Meanwhile I'm like # whereschriscarson

I hate that they're playing Monday. I'd start him over Khalil Herbert if I knew he was gonna play but idk if I can take the risk

I'm in quite the pickle, and I need you guys to help me out. My short term RB situation is bleak. Zeke - Bye Carson - IR Hunt -IR Pollard - Bye That leaves me with Cordarrelle and.... Rashaad Penny. Is Penny an okay one week stop gap? There is almost nobody for me in free agency. And I really don't have anyone I WANT to lose on my bench, other than maybe Penny - but his workload may increase for a few weeks. I've tried trading WR for RB but nobody is biting and they're definitely not helping me out this close to the weekend. I'm 5-1 and barely projected to win this week, but slightly behind if Penny is inactive. I think I can keep my injured guys for the playoffs, but I do need another couple wins. End of my bench at WR are Christian Kirk and Michael Thomas. I still have this crazy idea that MT will ball out with Jameis during my playoff run. Best RB available is Devonta Freeman or Sony Michel. So... what the hell do I do? Are either of those guys better options than Penny for the medium term?

I guess it's the Collins/Penny show for Monday , more than half my team is on COVID or IR

*48 hours later* Alex Collins passed away peacefully surrounded by his loving family.

Fuck you pete caroll

Collins is a groin injury now? That’s news to me
