How are Arizona boards not giving me any information on Ellington. There has to be a twitter update. Somebody with Twitter please get me off this ledge.

Who should I pick up now that Cam is possibly not playing? In a 6 pt passing TD league my options are:
Palmer
Cassel
Eli
Tannehill
Henne
Smith
Big Ben
Carr
Fitzpatrick
Flacco
Some additional scrubs

Both Palmer and Tannehill are good adds. I'd lean Palmer, he literally has four elite-to-excellent people to throw to. A chimp could go for 4,000 yards in that offense.

The story I saw said they are trying to add testing for HGH, and would try to raise the threshold for weed and move amphetamines to substance abuse instead of PEDs.
It also said Sunday would be a "soft deadline" so I guess we'll have an idea then.

Just grabbed Gordon off Waivers in a 20 team league that I went RB/RB on. :getin: indeed.

I was sitting in my office on that drizzly afternoon listening to the monotonous staccato of rain on my desk and reading my name on the glass of my office door: regnaD kciN

10 team non-PPR

Starters are RB: DeMarco Murray, Montee Ball, WR: Antonio Brown, Randal Cobb, Roddy White, TE: JimmyGraham

Bench is Joique Bell, Bernard Pierce, Jeremy Hill, Mike Wallace, Golden Tate, Kelvin Benjamin, Travis Kelce


Can't decide if it's worth to drop one of my bench players to pick up Gordon. Help me

Kelce? He still isnt the starter and you wont ever bench Graham anyway.

Everything I'm seeing on reddit (his #1 fan club) is saying it was an issue with his shoes and it's not a big deal. lovely its the late monday game tho. Monitor the situation and plan accordingly I guess. I might have to switch Spiller in for him vs the (hopefully still) pathetic Bears run D.

I'd certainly drop Isaiah Crowell.

Team is below average in my opinion, good depth at RB but no studs except for Forte.

Ugh, do I really need to go and pick up Gordon in all 19 of my leagues?

I think 3 is the sweet spot. I did 4 last year, was trying to cut down to 2 this year but got dragged into my brother's league because they needed 1 more team at the last minute, so I'm in 3 this year. Last year there was one league I stopped paying attention.

It is actually. I love the management aspect of fantasy football more than actually rooting for the players while watching, and it also prevents me from having to root against the Browns when my fantasy players are on the opposing team since I can't even keep track of which players I have in which league.

If it makes it any better, 8 of the leagues are free leagues with crazy rosters/scoring just for fun. One is a dynasty league, and the 10 remaining are low-stakes paid leagues ($10 or less buy-in).

Just picked up Gordon in almost all of my leagues by the way :)

I had a public league draft with 5/12 people there. The commish thought it was too few and reset the draft.(I didn't know that was possible) He rescheduled for last Friday at 1pm central.....needless to say I wasn't there, and others said there were less people there.

I tuned into a radio stream right as the announcers were saying "... and he's down in obvious severe pain. Looks like the same leg he hurt last year. Really tough to watch." As a Cobb owner, prepared myself to :smithicide:

Then they said it was Baluga :unsmith:

Still obviously a bad thing for the GB offense as a whole to lose a starting lineman but at least it wasn't Cobb!

Also, currently trying to identify shitlords to drop for the 0.0001% chance Gordon beats the suspension on this latest news. I'm in 3 leagues and he's unowned in all of them. For better or worse I already cut bait with my worst players to pick up Kelce in a couple so it's hard to ID a lottery ticket guy I'd gladly drop for a nonexistent shot at owning a top 3 WR.

Similar dilemma. I have Gordon, but need to drop a bench player for a kicker by Sunday. Who do I drop?
