Looks like I'm not keeping him in my fantasy league.

 

has there ever been a player who didn't get hurt after going on the cover?

 

Yes, but they had terrible years or retired.

 

well, i don't see megatron retiring and he will only have a terrible year if stafford gets hurt again so i guess this means either megatron or stafford are going to get hurt?

 

Yup.

 

well, this sucks cuz stafford to megatron was getting fun to watch.

 

I was thinking of staying away from Megatron in fantasy football this year as well, lol.

 

The Madden cover is his Optimus Prime.
