E. Sanders traded to the 49ers

FYI...DEN believes Sanders tore his Achilles at practice today. RIP

[Elroypedro]

Sounds like torn achilles in practice today. This could be it for him if it is full achilles tear, and Sutton gets another huge bump.

[Life of Pablo]

Damn. That is rough.

For any leagues that have DaeSean Hamilton available, scoop him up.

Just brutal. I like Hamilton long term, but he's not helping ease the pain this year.

[Space Cowboy]

Now they'll probably cut him. It was looking like he'd stay.

Ouch. Always loved the production I got from him. Glad I sold earlier but you hate to see an older player tear an achilles. Going to be tough to come back from that

Yeah, it's sad. Honestly I'd sell Sanders for a 3rd. Achilles injuries are incredibly difficult to recover from. Michael Crabtree looks like a shell of his former self, and he wasn't productive at all until two years after his injury.

So the question is, what does this do for Sutton? Not so much his future outlook, but ROS? Do we have confidence starting him in the fantasy playoffs as a flex type? Would you start him over an Fitz, Alshon Jeffrey or Golden Tate type guys? More proven guys on teams that spread the ball around and/or are under performing this year.

Possible career-ender. Gonna be hard to recover at his age, with enough juice for the NFL.

[Cameron Giles]

This sucks. Sanders has become one of the best route runners in the league and so dependable. Hopefully he can comeback from it.

[slaughterrt]

Lost AJG and Sanders for the year on one of my playoff teams.

Oh boy.

Starting Funchess and Josh Reynolds now.

Oh boy.

I've always felt that Sanders was an underappreciated receiver.
This could be the end of his career which would be unfortunate.

He is certainly no spring chicken anymore. And the older you get, the harder to fully recover from these type of injuries.

Hope he comes back strong but I’m not counting on it.

Does anyone think he will even be healthy enough to start the beginning of next season? I doubt it since the injury happened so late this season.

Maybe it’s time for him to hang it up.

[Valhalla]

Someone remind me on the contract rules when someone gets injured. Can they still be cut to free agency as though they were healthy?

[ArrylT]

Guess it will be seen if he decides to go the Steve Smith route (also tore his Achilles tendon late in career) or not. I hope he does whatever he feels is best for him.
