Let’s talk about severely injured stars & their values 🚑🏈
I will start by saying that I have seen a lot of differing sentiments on players that have gone through catastrophic injuries. Interested to read the justifications for buying in on or fading assets with a history.
Examples:
Malik Nabers- Young stud, bad injury but generally considered safe and a late first/ early second level startup asset. Though I have heard a few managers express concern and fade over potential long term effects on his abilities.
Quinshon Judkins- Workhorse back, brutal leg injury. Generally valued strongly & did not lose too much stock value despite a long road to full recovery. Also has the caveat of being a brown and not a receiving back.
Cam Skattebo- Another stud workhorse back, with a freak ankle injury. Not as highly touted of a prospect & I see many concerns of his play style, which I personally feel are exaggerated but I understand why there is an idea he would not have a long career. He showed incredible upside when on the field with his TD prowess, but many have seemed to turn on him as a flash in the pan & believe he likely will not get back to ripping off 3 TD games like childs play & that he’ll have CTE by & retire by 25.
Feel free to add other examples, past & present.
Are you investing in these players at their current values? Or are you fading them and sticking with safer options & why?
