Shockey out for Sunday, Thomas questionable

[Fiz]

per rotoworld

Jeremy Shockey (ankle) has been ruled out for Week 17, meaning his season is over because New Orleans is out of the playoff race. Pierre Thomas (back) is questionable to face Carolina.

Shockey ends his first season in New Orleans with 50 grabs for 483 yards, but no scores. He battled injuries all year, missing four games, and did little field stretching. The Saints will likely hold off on upgrading Shockey's contract, something he wanted done in New York, but there's little chance he'll be cut. He's always an injury risk, but could be undervalued in 2009 fantasy drafts. Thomas didn't practice Friday and seems unlikely to play Sunday. Dec. 26 - 4:13 pm et

it's looking less and less likely that Pierre Thomas will play.

Also jesus christ, Shockey is worthless. I seem to remember some saints fan claiming how injury proof and awesome he was before the season started. Pity all those great conversations got lost.

I remember at the begining of the season I was worried about the Saints adding Shockey as a weapon hahaha.

This is good, because IMO, Pierre Thomas is their most important offensive player right now. Everybody thinks Drew Brees is, but I guarantee you that he will throw us some picks if his offense can't get a decent running game going.

With them trying to beat the record, I say were good for about 2-3 picks .

Shockey has been out all season in Fantasy football L O L

so like 8-9 balls bouncing off corners' hands?

[Vegas Heel]

They were prob going to go even more pass heavy than usual anyway 'cause of the record. The good thing is that this will make them focus on the WRs more than the short passes which will def work in our favor.

Yeah me too haha

hahahaha me too

Shockey out is a plus for the Saints, though the coaches may not recognize this, and this is no cause for rejoicing by Panther fans. TE Miller will get more playing time and knows how to run without stumbling and falling down without being hit.

Pierre Thomas, if healthy, is a fine runner; but McAllister still is a great player.

^^^^^^ lol

Billy Miller: Panthers killer

[Kyle82]

Looks like the Aints will be throwing all day,,,Gamble and Marshall should be licking their chops :patriot:

[cookinbrak]

For anybody that is playing in a fantasy league final game, Miller could net a lot of points. TEs kill us.

i was kinda hoping shockey was gonna play, his fumble last time really turned that game around for us.
