Anyone heard anything recent about Arenas' health?

Is it back to 95%+?

Or is he still battling?

any links would be great.

Arenas not expected back until at least December, if not longer.

Time to drop him down your cheat sheet, and bump Butler up.

I'm still trying to figure out when would be a decent time to pick Arenas up. I remember a a couple years back Gasol was slated to be out for a couple of months with a broken foot. He ended up slipping to round 8 in one of my drafts. Needless to say, he came back on time, put up monster numbers, and propelled many a team to a fantasy championship.

I'm thinking you can't let Agent 0 slide out of the mid-late fourth round. A 5th round pick would be a STEAL. Anyone else got any input?

I'd definitely be taking Caron in the mid-late 2nd round of a 12 teamer.

Arenas in a 12 teamer... even when he comes back he won't be playing 40mins a game, and will be missing the odd game here and there...

so, in Roto i'd go with 6-7th round in 12 teamer
H2H, depending on format, maybe a 5th? but you'd have to be confident with the way your draft is going to make sure you'll be a playoff chance before selecting him.
