Mad Titan here and it seems that need to talk about something again and that is injuries. In FF, injuries happen and they will always , i.e Saquon Barkley, Christian McCaffrey. Fearing that they aren’t going to be productive or as productive is ridiculous. Why do we do this and why is it necessary to constantly overreact? Let’s take a dive and see what we are being absolutely ridiculous.

Injuries Are A Part Of The Game

This has been bothering me for a long time and especially this season, to where we are forgetting how good Barkley and CMC are. Yes, they got hurt, but to question CMC at 1st overall is absolutely maddening. CMC average ADP according to ESPN is 1.5 so he isn’t a unanimous 1st overall, and that is just crazy. Barkley is going at 6.6 overall and just why? Do we not forget how good he is? Do we not remember how dominant he was? I understand Barkley not going 2nd overall like last year, but he is a top 5 pick. Oh and, CMC IS THE ONLY RUNNING BACK THAT SHOULD BE ONE OVERALL!!!!

Why Play Scared

If you are worried about players getting hurt and effecting your season, then don’t play FF. Simple as that. my top 5 never change due to injuries. To not draft Barkley before the 5th pick makes no sense when Dalvin Cook has yet to finish a full season healthy and he is consistently top 3 pick. I am not playing FF to not take risks. I have seen Barkley go in the 2nd round and people drafting Nick Chubb, Aaron Jones, Austin Ekeler over him and they all have injury issues. They aren’t injury prone, but they also aren’t Derrick Henry. Why stray away from Barkley when you are ok drafting Cook and other backs.

Stop Being Afraid

When playing FF, you should never assume the worst because you will make mistakes. Will Barkley get hurt again? Maybe, but then again so can anyone else in the league. Injuries are a part of the league. Why let someone like Barkley get away because of something that probably won’t happen. Very high ceiling and amazing runner. Play to win and continue to be cutthroat and go for that amazing runner, don’t avoid someone for a ridiculous reason
