I'm holding off on doing it, personally. It feels a bit skeezy. Also, somewhat removed from the ethical considerations, you want people to trade with you in the future. There has to be mutual trust that no one is hiding info imo.
There's still risk involved trading him away, he could show up at practice tomorrow for all we know. Once an official report hits, then it's slimy to try and trade away imo
Depends on your league. If you're in a 10+ year league with long time friends, completely ethical. Fantasy Football is war, and all is fair in love and war.
The only explanation for rumor guy starting a baseless rumor that makes any sense is he was trying to devalue Chase cause he’s trying to work a deal to acquire him in his league. That’s, literally, the only plausible explanation I can come up with for that being a fake post.
Couldn't it also be possible that he DID hear that information...but the source was wrong about the "out for the year" prognosis? Could be a receptionist who misheard or misinterpreted something, you never know.
I drafted Chase and Diggs 1 and 2. Traded Diggs away for Cook and Pittman a few weeks back hoping Chase would start playing to his rep. That happened but if he's out for rest of season???
He injured his hip and was limping right before halftime against the Falcons. He ended up finishing that game. This just might be precautionary extra rest. I don't think rumor guy is right.
I'm not overreacting. I think he could be fine..but if Boyd is for some reason still available on your waivers you need to pick him up and inject him into your veins immediately
He came out of the game with a non contact injury. Went back in. Wouldn’t be the first time a player went out with an injury, went back in, made it worse.
So we are choosing to believe a reddit rumor saying he's out for the season but his coach said minutes ago that he "probably" won't practice today? As in, there's a shot he could practice today? With a season ending injury? Got it.
Yeah this all but solidifies it for me. I’m not gonna deal with the backlash of trading him and then getting yelled at by my league mates all season so I’m just gonna try and grab Higgins. Boyd owner won’t trade him.
OPs friend works at an orthopedic hospital and chase was getting examined there, OP said it was bad enough that they would rule chase out for the season
Thinking it might be time to shop him for a WR + RB package perhaps. Whenever a bold rumor like this comes out, no one takes them seriously and it turns out as true.
Lmao y’all playing with some crazy ass league mates if this is the kinda trades you can work out. Who is trading away a potential league winning RB and stud WR for chase? Even pre-injury rumored chase lol.
Lot of talk about trading him before people find out he's out for the year. Personally I want to win because I built an amazing team and drag my nuts across peoples face. Not because I trade damaged goods before anyone else noticed. Just feels weird.
This is scary either way, but the dude came back played and was even resting last week for this injury. I doubt the bengals would wait to put him on IR, and find a replacement if this were to be true. Also, with the amount of reporters there who actually have credentials, would this not be something one of THEM would catch? Why would they say day to day? Very odd rumor with smoke, but it just seems like everyone is trying to gain internet "clout" with this one. Hope for the best for Chase.
Same reason it took forever to get news on the reality of Hiltons calf injury and for the Hawks to keep pushing the narrative about Carson, who ended up retiring altogether.
Even if this is true, I find it hard to believe that they'd shut him down for a hip injury. Obviously it depends on the specifics of the injury, but hips aren't knees and theoretically could get cleaned up with a smaller procedure that has him back in time for this season.
Just dropped Chase for Toney
League weiner right there
Duh, Only one of those guys has Mahomes as his QB
Average
This but unironically
I legitimately laughed out loud 🤣
Someone in my league dropped him for Eno Benjamin this week lol
But did you actually.
What if the rumor guy was right
I sort by new a legitimately unhealthy amount and still don't know what you're referring to.
Reddit has gotten some of these crazy situations right. Like the Chris Carson situation.
Possiby one of the greatest moments of
The same rumor guy who posted about TY Hilton in 2015-16(?) about the hamstring /IR stint out of nowhere. Then a few days later it was confirmed.
what rumor guy
Rumor guy just had all his comments today scrubbed from this sub.
this rumor guy shit is gonna make me panic and trade him
Hope you did
Did you? 😂
…Did you do it in time..?
they play Monday so this may be a Dudesday?
The delayed Dudesday
I’m choosing to believe this over rumor guy
Good call.
I forgot about this
Aged like milk
If that dude was right my god this sub will BURN
Post is deleted, text body here, mods don’t ban pls
Mods deleting all of rumor guy’s (
i’m lost.. what rumor?
It’s like that weird post last year about Chris Carson that actually had merit
I’ll admit this with paired with the other rumor made me a little nervous so I sent 1 for 1 trades, chase for:
I believe him. I've heard weirder stories on here that was proven true
Somehow this will only benefit Tyler Boyd
Just got him off waivers Tuesday
Debating dropping Pats D to scoop up Boyd. Already have Higgins but don’t mind having another WR3 with WR2 upside to go with Wandale.
I picked Boyd up earlier this week as a filler for bye weeks, if this somehow is true I may have just punked my league
God do I tilt and trade Ja’Marr?
Im gonna try to get tyreek or jefferson. If I cant get a top wr Im just gonna hold and hope the rumor guy is wrong lol
just traded him and kamara for ajb, jt, and boyd
We are contemplating trading a first round draft pick off a RANDOM REDDIT ACCOUNT.
I have the Burrow and Chase stack 6 Pt tds for passing and receiving this is tough.
Zac Taylor saying day to day gives me 2020 Mixon PTSD
Since nobody else is linking the rumor...
Rushing to pickup Tyler Boyd
I just lost Breece Hall. I think I'm gonna be sick...
“He’s out for the reason of the season” is my favorite part 😂😂😂
Plot twist.. Rumor guy is actually Ja’Marr Chase and just straight trollin us while he takes the day off, sore guts from lol’ing at us
Rumor guy was in here doing an AMA for like 10 seconds then the comments got deleted . It’s happening for sure
Mods are so lame
So that guy with the rumor was right
Rumor dude was right…
PFT just said it was Hip soreness, that is a bit of a yikes
You got a Link?
This does not cause me concern … downs another whiskey.
I just traded for Chase… fuck
Holy fuck
[удалено]
Staring at my phone mouth breathing waiting for an update
Please bro let us know more
Thursday is Monday's Dudesday.
Well this aged nicely.
Generally I'd take Day-to-Day at face value... but with Taylor who knows
[удалено]
Go draw your chili bath fam
Oh my god rumor guy was right
He good. I had brunch with him
They play Monday
Didn’t he come back after halftime?
He did, and looked fine. Rumor seems pretty BS and this is probably just a rest day.
Yeah and was good. Also the injury looked more like a hip flexor on the front of his leg the way he was stretching it. I doubt this is true
He wouldn’t disclose injury when asked but even said he was “all good” after game against Falcons.
That one guy who made that reddit post saying chase is out for the season might be right
Mother of god… he said out for the SEASON?
Oh god, the rumor that I’m gay turned out to be true after all. That’s the rumor we are talking about right?
[удалено]
Hip bone is connected to the d_ck bone 🦴 and Chase has been swinging it around the last 2 weeks. Rest up king 👑
Some Rumor Guy was right about TY Hilton and his leg/calf injury being way worse than expected. I believe he was IR’d or done for the year basically
Some guy was also right about Deebo last year in the Cin game.
What’s everyone’s thoughts on how ethical it is to try and trade him away before (if) anything is announced?
Completely ethical. Nobody even truly knows the severity yet
I'm holding off on doing it, personally. It feels a bit skeezy. Also, somewhat removed from the ethical considerations, you want people to trade with you in the future. There has to be mutual trust that no one is hiding info imo.
There's still risk involved trading him away, he could show up at practice tomorrow for all we know. Once an official report hits, then it's slimy to try and trade away imo
Depends on your league. If you're in a 10+ year league with long time friends, completely ethical. Fantasy Football is war, and all is fair in love and war.
I mean, this is just some single random dude on the internet. It's just as risky to move him and have it turn out to be nothing.
The only explanation for rumor guy starting a baseless rumor that makes any sense is he was trying to devalue Chase cause he’s trying to work a deal to acquire him in his league. That’s, literally, the only plausible explanation I can come up with for that being a fake post.
Couldn't it also be possible that he DID hear that information...but the source was wrong about the "out for the year" prognosis? Could be a receptionist who misheard or misinterpreted something, you never know.
The rumor didn't state that it was a hip, but even so, that information was already known
Pick up Boyd if he is available guys!
I picked him up yesterday and felt kinda dumb about it. Um I still don't want Chase to miss time though. The urge to trade him is high.
If rumor guy is right, there goes my season
I drafted Chase and Diggs 1 and 2. Traded Diggs away for Cook and Pittman a few weeks back hoping Chase would start playing to his rep. That happened but if he's out for rest of season???
I’m OOTL what was the rumor?
Chase done for the season.
If that rumor is true, please hold off on announcing it for a few hours
Picked up Tyler Boyd on this past waivers.
Well the dude did say they would announce it today so hopefully we wouldnt lose sleep over this
Another guy on Twitter is saying the same thing, post was 2 hours
Rumour guy was definitely Zac Taylor
I got out of work early and was having a good day until I came here.
this dude pulled his hamstring and went back in…I was shocked. Thats a bad injury to brush off
Fuck zac taylor. Tried to pull the same shit with mixon but on chase
Gonna try to trade chase for tyreek
This is a TEE HEE post
Bro. I do not feel good about this. And the fact that it's a Monday Night game adds to the fuckery.
How much should we really trust the rumor guy
Not much, probably, but as a Chase owner, I grabbed Boyd from the wire after reading it
This is the "Rumor Guy"'s post
Make him the decoy this week to repay for your sins zac
Can he be a decoy for Higgins for once?
Should I ship him for cook and olave?
Bruh now im wondering if I should try to get Tyreek Hill or Davante Adams for my Jamarr Chase
Idk if I’m trading Chase but I’m certainly trying to acquire Boyd
“Day to day” changed pretty damn quick.
Soreness huh
Bro the rumor guy no way
I know this is a Chase post. Can we just get one Tee boom week though? Just one.
What if dude is just trying to panic the owner of chase in his league and pick him up
This is what I’m thinking. The only problem with this is the rumor was posted before the Ben Baby tweet saying Chase going to miss practice.
He injured his hip and was limping right before halftime against the Falcons. He ended up finishing that game. This just might be precautionary extra rest. I don't think rumor guy is right.
[удалено]
Trying to grab Boyd everywhere they can
I'm not overreacting. I think he could be fine..but if Boyd is for some reason still available on your waivers you need to pick him up and inject him into your veins immediately
Rumor starter deleted their account so I’m just gonna hope it was some trolling that escalated
Hopefully
Lol Mods deleting the other threads about him not practicing. That copium is real, folks. Y’all should pivot to Boyd or Higgins if you have Chase.
Y’all are coping hard
HELP WHO DO WE TRADE CHASE FOR
Wasnt he resting last week before the game with a hip injury and he ended up playing?
I'm no doctor, but I would assume that it is in the realm of possibility that an injury could be
He came out of the game with a non contact injury. Went back in. Wouldn’t be the first time a player went out with an injury, went back in, made it worse.
What is Thursday if not Monday's Wednesday?
Did I just trade Brian Robinson for Tyler Boyd? Yes I did.
Rumor guy was right lol
"a little soreness"
MF Liar
This escalated quickly
So we are choosing to believe a reddit rumor saying he's out for the season but his coach said minutes ago that he "probably" won't practice today? As in, there's a shot he could practice today? With a season ending injury? Got it.
I’m as skeptical as you are, but the Bengals aren’t particularly forthcoming about injuries
If it was true, surely there'd be more smoke, and the idea of Chase practicing would not be possible!
To be fair, it’s Zac Taylor.
Got a message from a coworker on this at 11:45 am this morning.
Yeah this all but solidifies it for me. I’m not gonna deal with the backlash of trading him and then getting yelled at by my league mates all season so I’m just gonna try and grab Higgins. Boyd owner won’t trade him.

His friend works at a hospital, but doesn't know which one he works at? Yeah, I'm calling "bulljive" (Shannon Sharpe voice) on this!
Ohhhhhhhhhh
Yall what was the rumor
OPs friend works at an orthopedic hospital and chase was getting examined there, OP said it was bad enough that they would rule chase out for the season
Was trying to trade for Chase. Rumor Guy and this post stopped me from sending offers.
👀 Did yall scoop another one?
Lol yahoo just sent me the update of him being questionable…adding to the already tense fuckin moment
The rumor thread for
In case this is not true, is it safe dropping Dotson for Boyd?
[удалено]
He's getting removed lmao
Thinking it might be time to shop him for a WR + RB package perhaps. Whenever a bold rumor like this comes out, no one takes them seriously and it turns out as true.
He rested last week with the same injury???
Omg rumor guy deleted his comments . I think this is real and I just traded to acquire him this morning
So do we send him for kupp or jj with an overpay just in case?
Just sent a trade offer for JJ. If it ends up being fake JJ already had his bye so it's still a win.
I'm up against Chase & Adams this week - watching this reports with bated breath lol
HAYDEN HURST COME ON DOWN
Traded Waddle and Miles Sanders for Chase 3 days ago lmaoooo
DO I TRADE CHASE AND CONNER FOR WADDLE AND CORDAROLE??
He was questionable leading into last weeks game.
Walker and Hopkins for chase? I’m panicking
Lmao y’all playing with some crazy ass league mates if this is the kinda trades you can work out. Who is trading away a potential league winning RB and stud WR for chase? Even pre-injury rumored chase lol.
A Bengals blogger tweeted that he was getting DM’s about this as early as Tuesday.

Scheftwr just confirmed
a little soreness AKA a 4-6w hip injury... zac taylor strikes again
I just traded chase for burrow and Godwin after this broke
A little soreness my ass! His whole hip is missing!!
I was already mad that I dropped Boyd for Alec Pierce two weeks ago 😤
Yelling in Phil Leotardo's voice: "A little soreness?!" OP: "God bless his soul"
"While he deals with a little soreness" we were so young and naive 21 hours ago. Those were the days.
Lot of talk about trading him before people find out he's out for the year. Personally I want to win because I built an amazing team and drag my nuts across peoples face. Not because I trade damaged goods before anyone else noticed. Just feels weird.
Just think about how much a goober you were when you were 17 and you will understand why this sub is reacting this way.

In my mind it’s on my league mates for not believing/reading potential rumors on Reddit comments

Highly doubt reporters have any kind of direct source from hospitals.
Same reason it took forever to get news on the reality of Hiltons calf injury and for the Hawks to keep pushing the narrative about Carson, who ended up retiring altogether.
Even if this is true, I find it hard to believe that they'd shut him down for a hip injury. Obviously it depends on the specifics of the injury, but hips aren't knees and theoretically could get cleaned up with a smaller procedure that has him back in time for this season.

Is chase for Higgins and devonta smith a good trade?
Jamar, Lazard, Gus Bus
Rumor guy deleted his whole account now 💀
It’s still there? I can still see all his posts and comments.
That is a 10yr old account. Sheesh.
Saw that too. What does it all mean? I don't know what to believe now.
I just traded Chase & Kelce for Diggs & Taysom Hill YOLO
Yikes
You dropped this 🌮
Bro tf you just got fleeced
