Fantasy Football Xtreme is proud to announce that we now provide interactive Fantasy Football Mock Drafting. Of course, we still have our Draft Simulator Tool, but the Rolling Draft Simultor is bigger and better. We have a mock draft running every 5 minutes - just select the draft and draft slot that you want (if available, as taken slots are grayed out) and wait for your draft to start. Then mock with fellow FFXtremers. You can even chat as you draft, as each draft has its own personal Chat box. Mock it up!

Welcome to our Fantasy football Injury Informational Desk, where we will educate you on all of the major injuries that NFL players encounter.
Knee Injuries |
What is an ACL tear? ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) injuries often occur when an athlete quickly decelerates, followed by a sudden change in direction, also referred to as cutting. In football, athletes can often tear ACLs in other ways, ways which are often more damaging to the overall structure of the knee (which is why some ACL-related injuries are worse than others). For example, if the knee is hit from the side, more than just the ACL is being stressed and often torn. Like a door hinge, the knee joint is designed to bend and function in one direction - Forcefully bending in another direction is damaging to the joint. The major function of the ACL is to stabilize the knee. The femur (thigh bone) sits on top of the tibia (shin bone). The knee connects the two and acts as a joint. Without tight fitting ligaments to stabilize the knee, the joint would not be sound and would be subject to dislocations. The ACL, in particular, keeps the knee joint tight and does not allow the tibia to slide forward. An individual without an ACL is more prone to developing arthritis, cartilage tears and is more subject to dislocating the knee, which will often damage and tear the remaining three ligaments. Professional running backs usually cannot function fully without an ACL, because the position demands tremendous pivoting, deceleration, strenuous cutting and stopping — Again, all of which will ultimately lead to possible knee dislocation if an individual does not have an ACL — Dislocation would likely result in damage to the remaining knee ligaments. |
 |
It isn’t just the threat of dislocation that is the problem for a running back without an ACL — The knee is rarely ever tight fitting after an ACL tear and often feels “wobbly” and as if your knee will “give out” from under you. The instability has been said to feel like when one stands on top of a chair that feels unstable and could “give out” from under you.
It is possible, but extremely rare, that the thigh and surrounding knee muscles can alone keep the knee tight enough that an ACL isn’t necessary, but again, it’s so rare you will almost never hear about a running back having much success in such a situation. The real question is, can an NFL running back rebound from such an injury after undergoing surgery to repair the knee? The answer to that is yes, but that does not mean that the athlete will ever truly be as good as they were, especially that first year back from injury. On rare occasion, can a player be as good as he was? The answer to that appears to be yes as well, but on rare occasion. For this to happen, the right combination of youth, NFL mileage (on the legs) and opportunity must be in place. For example, an NFL running back could tear his ACL late in his NFL career and that might appear to be the cause of that running back’s decline in production, but it could just be that the opportunity was no longer available for that runner upon his healthy return. It can’t always be assumed that a lack in production after an ACL tear is the result of the injury itself, but it is clear that most who suffer the injury are never the same. Again, on rare occasion NFL backs can still be an elite athlete (Priest Holmes, Willis McGahee, etc.), but it’s truly rare and the ACL injuries on these still-elite talents usually occur very early in their careers, if not in college, so it is a tough injury to follow… but let’s try:

Spinal Stenosis - This is a condition in which the spinal canal narrows and compresses the spinal cord and nerves. This condition is usually the result of the natural process of spinal degeneration, which occurs with aging. However, when this condition is present in a young athlete, such as an NFL football player, it can shorten and end a player’s career (Lee Suggs).
