I also heard

that he is in according to Fox and CBS during the pregame shows

"If you're gonna shoot, shoot, don't talk."

"We have clearance Clarence. Roger Rodger, what's our vector Victor?"

Hmm.

I bet he plays tonight, but only because the Saints lost. If they hadn’t, it might not that important that he play.

The more important question: If he gets it treated, how long is he out? Is it a quick fix?

According to wikipedia:

The majority of herniated discs will heal themselves in about six weeks and do not require surgery. One study found that “After 12 weeks, 73% of patients showed reasonable to major improvement without surgery.”

They also say that surgery is a last resort after waiting it out and NSAIDs.

Damn!!

Do I bench Harvin and put in Driver, or roll with Percy?

Driver?

Don’t talk about Driver! You’re kidding me….Driver?

All kidding aside, couldn’t tell you. I’m debating whether or not to trade for Harvin if I win my playoff game today.

For now

Def play Driver. . .

the dude’s solid as solid gets at wideout. He’s nothing super spectacular but he is def playing and a solid option. Can’t take that risk on Harvin today from a fantasy perspective.
