Lkr Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 After the first week of the regular season, we already have our first major injury to a No. 1 running back. Ryan Grant of the Packers suffered a sprained ankle in the first half of their opener against Philadelphia and did not return. With good reason. Fox Sports' Jay Glazer is reporting that Grant's ankle and leg injuries are severe enough that he'll miss the rest of the season. Glazer says Grant suffered a high ankle sprain that also resulted in a fracture near his knee. Hopefully, fantasy owners who were counting on Grant to carry the load at running back also grabbed backup Brandon Jackson -- who rushed for 63 yards on 18 carries and also caught two passes for 12 yards. Although the Packers will certainly look to pick up a free agent for added depth, Jackson figures to get the bulk of the workload the rest of the way. However, he may not get those precious red-zone touches. Fullback John Kuhn had Green Bay's only rushing touchdown on Sunday, a three-yard run in the third quarter. As the starter in one of the most powerful offenses in the NFL, Jackson gets a major boost in fantasy value, especially since the Packers don't have a proven backup for him on the roster right now.http://content.usatoday.com/communities/fantasyjoe/post/2010/09/report-packers-ryan-grant-out-for-the-season/1 http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b324/austinjg/fuuuuu.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Great iBoldin Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 Lkr, you think we make a deal now to bring in a starting quality RB? Marshawn Lynch comes almost immediately to mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 (edited) Marshawn Lynch comes almost immediately to mind. Well, he and Rodgers are familiar with one another from back when they played at Cal albeit for a year so it makes sense. His value is at an all time low too. [expletive], let's do it lol.

Jenneral Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 Obviously a big blow but I think we'll be fine. Whether we make a trade or keep Jackson back there I don't think our expectations for our end goal change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
