Well, I got to enjoy 1st place in my fantasy league for about 10 hours at least... Maybe I'll get lucky and Amendola will stay healthy from here
In fantasy? He wasn't great with White out. He's not very good. I like him as a 3rd WR on the field, but he's just not talented enough to produce.
I agree but who is Matt Ryan going to throw the ball to now with White hobbled and Jones out....Douglas is a must own in all leagues if Jones is done.
Harry Douglas is the guy, but he just doesn't pass the eyeball test for me. Even with him as the #1 option I don't see him being more than a borderline WR2. That offense is screwed now until Roddy comes back. Matt Ryan is going to be pretty much locked into Tony G all day. I own Julio in both my leagues. Not happy today at all. Thankfully in the league I care most about, I drafted well for depth so I still have Pierre Garcon, Randall Cobb and Josh Gordon to fill in.

Epic opportunity to throw in the towel for the year, reload with high picks and come out 2014 guns blazing. There was never much room for hiccups in the NFC, even for the wild card chase. Just unfortunate for Tony and Jackson, unless Gonzalez gets traded.
Falcons are saying no way, but I could see them trading Tony to the Chiefs before the deadline, especially if Tony says anything about a trade and if the Falcons lose the next couple games.
I know he sucks, but he's now the #1 WR (until White is healthy) on a team with Matt Ryan as your QB and defenses will now double and triple team Gonzalez. I had Julio and picked up Douglas just hoping he gives me half of what Julio did. I still have Decker and Antonio Brown, so Douglas becomes my flex rotating with Chris Givens.
That would be a cool return. Tony is a stand up guy and I know Chiefs fans apperciate his play there. Hope it happens.
