Danny Amendola Fantasy News 2013/14

HacheMan · Sep 11, 2013

Danny Amendola (groin) and Rob Gronkowski (back) are both listed as doubtful for Thursday night's game against the Jets.

Don't expect either to play. Both players got in limited practices this week, but look for the Patriots to sit Amendola and Gronkowski out to give them ten days to get ready for Week 3 against the Bucs. Julian Edelman will man the slot Thursday night. He's a strong WR2 candidate after posting two touchdowns in the opener. Tom Brady trusts Edelman, and the coaching staff loves him.

Thanks Hache, love the updates!

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports Danny Amendola (groin) and Rob Gronkowski (back) are not expected to play Thursday evening.

Even Schefter admits he's stating the obvious, but this being the Patriots, we won't know Amendola's official status until inactives are announced. Even were Amendola to be a shock "active," he'd be on a snap count, and an extremely risky fantasy option. For now, Amendola is 50-50, at best, for Week 3.

Sources tell Yahoo Sports that Danny Amendola (groin) "might play" as soon as Week 4.
Yahoo's Les Carpenter confirms that Amendola completely tore the adductor longus tendon in his groin during Week 1 -- but actually calls that a good thing. The tear eliminates the need for surgery and speeds up the recovery process. Amendola is reportedly healing faster than the standard 2-6 week recovery time and is at a pace closer to 3-4 weeks, meaning he has a shot to play against the Falcons a week from today. Amendola does not have a sports hernia injury.

he Boston Herald seconds ESPN's Chris Mortensen and reports Danny Amendola (groin) is unlikely to play this week against the Falcons.

"I anticipate being 100 percent shortly," Amendola said Wednesday. Beat writer Karen Guregian "wouldn't completely rule out" Amendola suiting up for Sunday night's game against the Falcons, but suggests he has a "better shot" of playing next week against the Bengals. Amendola was limited in practice Wednesday.

ESPN Boston believes Danny Amendola (groin) has a "good chance" of playing in Week 5.

Ace reporter Mike Reiss isn't citing sources here. He's likely just going off his own observations and gut feeling, so we wouldn't pen Amendola into fantasy lineups just yet. The good news is that the Patriots face the Bengals in a 1pm ET game on Sunday, so we'll know Amendola's status by noon. If he's active, he projects as an immediate target monster and WR2.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports Danny Amendola (groin) is "good to go" for Sunday's Week 5 game against the Bengals.

Amendola has been looking like a "go" for the past few days. He was listed as questionable on the injury report after getting in three limited practice sessions this week without any setbacks. We'll know Amendola's definite status within two hours, but owners can safely pencil him into lineups as a WR2.

FOX Sports' Jay Glazer reports the Patriots plan to limit Danny Amendola's (groin) reps against the Bengals on Sunday.

Amendola is going to play Sunday. But the Patriots are 4-0, so they don't need to throw Amendola into the fire as an every-down player. He'll be making his first appearance since tearing the adductor longus tendon in his groin in Week 1. With the news that he'll be limited, we'd drop Amendola down to a WR3 this week.

The Boston Globe's Ben Volin recommends for fantasy football owners to sit Danny Amendola (groin, questionable) in Week 5.

"Getting a lot of fantasy questions about Amendola this week," wrote Volin, who we can confirm plays fantasy football himself. "I'd still bench him for now, let him prove that he's healthy first." We believe that's the best approach, too, especially after Jay Glazer reported early Sunday Amendola's snaps would be "limited" against the Bengals. He's a shaky WR3 play.

Danny Amendola (concussion) did not practice Wednesday.
This confirms Amendola indeed suffered a concussion in last Sunday's win over the Saints. The Patriots had previously been silent on the situation. They didn't reveal anything else Wednesday, unsurprisingly. It'd be a major surprise if Amendola played against the Jets. Julian Edelman, Kenbrell Thompkins, and Aaron Dobson will be Tom Brady's top three receivers this week.

CSN New England reports Danny Amendola (concussion) is "doing well," but remains without a timetable for a return.
That's just because the Patriots don't release injury information. It's possible Amendola will be back for Week 8, but we're unlikely to get a real clue before Wednesday. Even then it's possible the Pats will engage in their usual injury report games, but there's less room for vagary with concussions. If Amendola gets in a limited session on Wednesday, it will be a very good sign.

Danny Amendola (concussion) has been cleared to play in Sunday's game against the Dolphins.
Amendola passed all of the concussion tests and is expected to start despite being listed as questionable. He made it through a limited week of practice without any setbacks and will return after missing just one game. Amendola is Rotoworld's No. 24 wideout for Week 8.
