WR - Almost as Decimated as Secondary

[OldTimer1960]

Depth Chart:

Diggs

Davis - really too injured to be effective, but gutting it out

McKenzie - concussion, likely out at least 1 game

Crowder - out for season broken ankle

Kumerow - out, ankle

Shakir - likely starting v. Pitt

 

Boy, that is f*cking ugly.  Davis should be sitting until healthy, but they NEED a body on the field.  Shakir will be fine, I think.  Nobody else even has much chance at all of playing this week.  Can’t go into a game with only Diggs, Shakir and a seriously hobbled Davis.  
 

Who is available?  I loved Isaiah Hodgins effort in preseason, but he can’t create separation against preseason fodder.  I don’t think he will contribute anything of note in the regular season.  None of the other practice squad bunch is likely to help.  I guess maybe Tavon Austin could make a play once in a while, but I would not want to count on him much.

 

Do they have $ to sign a vet?  Is one available who could be more than just a guy?  Is Emmanuel Sanders in shape?  Beasley signed elsewhere.  TY Hilton?  Will Fuller?  
 

Things are desperate enough to consider a trade, but really can’t take on significant salary so maybe  for a young guy they liked that hasn’t hit it big yet?

I believe the strategy will be gut it out this week and help from the magic bean might just come before the buy week

Welp, might as well move Cook to the WR depth chart since they don't want to use him at RB.

[Augie]

I don’t suppose a trainer has ever been voted MVP before……

[nedboy7]

I don’t want to hear it. All we hear is how Josh carries the team. Go find some dudes from the street and we should be good. 

[DCbillsfan]

I think McKenzie will play this week

[Miyagi-Do Karate]

I think this week they go:

 

1) Diggs

2) Davis

3) Shakir

4) Austin (from PS)

5) Hodgins (from PS)

 

Then they probably mix in more of Cook and DS into the passing game, and maybe go more two TE’s.

[CA OC Bills Fan]

I don't think we can assume McKenzie is out. Conclusions come in all levels of severity. I read on this board he's doing his show today which implies it's likely not severe. And hopefully Davis will be better with resting most of the week. Othersise, Hodgkins or Austin it is.

This level of panic amongst the denizens of this forum is reassuring to me. Look at secondary and the utter panic people had.. and they've actually been pretty ok.

Per Spotrac 1.681 million cap space. That won't get a ProBowler but maybe a promising young player.

Crowder out for the season? Damn. It's only been FOUR games.

He has a broken ankle.

I think so too. He's doing some event tonight (Monday). I'd imagine if he was in that bad of shape, he wouldn't be out doing events

I expect Diggs, Davis, McKenzie, and Shakir to be ready to go.

 

We have Hodgins and Austin on the PS.

 

Stevenson also just completed his 4 game IR stint if we want to activate him to fill Crowders spot on the roster.

 

I think we are fine.

 

 

[Juice_32]

Need to get Knox/Morris involved.

[BananaB]

Lots of people want Shakir on the field more, this is his opportunity. If he strives it’s better for the team.

One could make an argument that when everything settles down (with luck and no more injuries) the backfield will be stronger than ever.

[Rc2catch]

Maybe we should try and establish a run game. They’re healthy.
