Chuba was phenomenal today but despite Sanders' TD he still did not look very good at all. Would be great to have a 2 headed monster of Chuba and Brooks. Have there been any updates on him/is he on track to return in week 5?

Haven't seen many updates on him either; but he's projected to take over soon after his return.
I stashed him on both of my fantasy teams so I'm double invested lol

I think he'll be slowly introduced. Think D-Will in his rookie year. By season's end, if he's playing well, he and Hubbard will be sharing evenly unless one is especially hot. Sanders will get in on two back sets some and have packages designed as long as he is here, but he's mostly going to be the guy to fill if the other two go down or need a few minutes off

if Chuba does not end up wanting HUGE money after this season, I would work to keep him here. He is not a superstar but he is consistently good and runs hard no matter what every chance he gets. He is a blue collar guy and a great roster is made up of guys like him. Even when Brooks comes back, Chuba deserves his fair share and chances.

If Chuba keeps playing like this, Sanders performs ok in a complementary role, and the offense can stay in the middle of the pack or better, I wouldn’t try to rush Brooks back…even if it meant keeping him off of field into 2025.

He needs to get hit and learn to trust the repair. This is the year for that to happen. I think.

That is a valid point. I could see playing him during the back end of the season “if” he was medically cleared. I just wouldn’t want to rush him back to the field prematurely to justify the 2nd selection in the 2023 draft. I’d rather have 100% in 2024 than 75-80%in 2023 and risk a medical setback.

      I believe I just read somewhere that the Rams don't do Top 30 Visits. I mean, it makes sense from the standpoint of trying to keep information close to the vest.

      Emanuel McNeil Warren + Jacob Rodriguez

      I'm not sure 19 is too high for Rodriguez anymore.  He looks to be moving up boards, but it could be smokescreens.

      Panthers WR Xavier Legette named potential trade candidate for 2026 offseason

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I see XL this way---great athlete.  Good person.  When we drafted him, we knew he was raw.  One year of WR in college (starting) and in HS, he was a QB, I believe. We knew we would need patience with him.  I think year 3 will be make or break.  He is older, and I think that people with his athletic ability have always been better than those with less---but those with less can become more successful.  Why is that?  in my view, it is mental. XL can learn the mechanics and nuances of playing WR if he becomes focused on it and works at it.  I had the opportunity to talk to Armanti Edwards one day after OTAs (great guy) and he discussed how overwhelming it was.  He seemed shocked.  At that time, I knew that Fox hated the pick (I heard him mock Armanti to another coach when he saw Edwards drop a punt from a jugs machine--then I saw Armanti look back at Fox as if to suggest that he was feeling the pressure to please the coach. We forget that these are kids in their early 20s.  At the time, Fox was a lame duck.  Remember when he had Clausen as the #3 QB and was forced to move him up the ladder?  I liked Fox, but I think the climate and culture was influenced by the politics.  Currently, I see another Wr from SC who is struggling, but he is ina  very nurturing, positive culture. Let's see what happens with XL.  I am frustrated too---but XL was a second round talent who was raw and we traded up to get him.  He had 500 yards as a rookie--lets call 2025 a sophomore slump and see if we can't get at least 50 yards per game out of him.  If not, cut bait.
