Jahvid Best advised to sit out rest of season
Ronnie Brown would look nice in a Detroit uniform now, wouldn't he?

Jahvid Best, RB DET
News: CBSSports.com NFL Insider Mike Freeman reported Thursday that Lions RB Jahvid Best has been advised by people close to him to "strongly consider sitting out the year" after suffering his second concussion of the season. As Freeman noted, Best was forced to miss the final four games of his college career due to concussion-like symptoms. Speculation is that further concussion issues could wreck his career. Best did not practice Wednesday and the Lions are mum on whether or not he'll suit up against the Falcons.

luckily the one team i have him on (CM3), I'm stacked at RB. But this week is gonna be tough for me

Frank Gore - Bye
Fred Jackson - Bye
Jahvid Best - Dead
Arian Foster - Playing

I even have Ronnie Brown so thought a couple days ago even if Best misses an extended amount of time, at least I have Brown to fill in - but not any more

So i'm searching the WW scraps for a 2nd RB - not much there as you would expect

neither available. Ben Tate, Michael Bush, Pierre Thomas, Cadillac Williams probably the best of whats out there. And with the 4 RBs i already have, I'm not trading for a 5th RB as a 1 week replacement

resteasy - both of those gone also

me too! Montario Hardesty isn't a bad flex pick up considering Hillis's issues.

As a person I hope he does what is right for his health. Concussions are a serious issue and there isn't any good that can come while playing with symptoms. He needs to take care of his health, then worry about his career.

As a fan, I hope he sits out and heals....it would benefit GB greatly.
