JaguarCrazy2832 Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Let me start with saying lets try and keep it strictly to football but Are you downgrading any players/teams that are struggling to get their vaccine %s higher? Is there any level of concern with teams like Minnesota with the lowest %? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammymvpknight Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Honestly...I think that it might be reasonable to downgrade specific players. For instance...Cole Beasley has been really vocal about the topic and I think it could end up hurting him. It's enough to bump up Gabe Davis a little. Same story with Lamar Jackson. He's already had COVID twice, and it wouldn't be surprising if he finds a way to get it a third time this season. I doubt he'd get real sick, but that doesn't matter. A positive test means that you miss time. It might also serve as a decent tie breaker if for instance you have Hopkins and Diggs close in your rankings...and you know that Hopkins is anti-vax.

In that Hopkins/Diggs scenario isnt it concerning the Vikings are only at 65% or something like that? If a WR tests positive wouldnt Diggs be out a while? 2. The protocol is different for vaxed and non right as far as quarantine? Non-Vaxed is 2 weeks no matter what, right? What about the vaccinated?

I'm not sure that the rules are different for one group versus the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vaccinated individuals are still capable of getting and passing along COVID. There are even some studies that suggest that vaccinated individuals pass along the infection at a pretty similar rate (I would disagree with that...but that's beside the point). The biggest benefit of the vaccine is that there is a SIGNIFICANT reduction in the individual needing hospitalization/ICU or dying. But that's not really what we are talking about here. We are really only focused on positive tests which results in one or more player missing time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammymvpknight Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 I just read this on NFL.com. “High-risk close contacts are required to isolate if they've had previous contact with someone who tests positive, according to league protocols. Fully vaccinated players, however, are tested daily for three days after exposure but do not carry the high-risk designation and thus are not isolated.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
