Still a first rounder? You lose your first round pick for 23% of your regular season.

...but still have him for when it counts the most. If you're a solid drafter, he's still a first round pick.

Heck no he isn't. But, it really depends on the playoff settings in your league. The larger the playoff field, the more valuable he becomes. If it is a small field, you can't afford to possibly lose a couple games and run the table.

See I actually believe this. I play in a 12 man league and a 10 man league. In both, 6 teams make the playoffs. I would think he is WAY more valuable in the bigger league even suspended.

So is the assumption, that maybe now he could be a late first rounder instead of a top 2 pick?

If it's an easy league to get into the playoffs, my math says grab him in the second round...if it's a four team playoff league, I view having to wait too severe and drops him way down to an untouchable.

defeinitely hurts but could you realisticcally be without your #1 overall for the first 3 weeks? I think not.

Drafted AP last year and made the playoffs. I think so.

I'd say he's still top 10 pick no matter what. Keeling that in mind, is Jeremy Hill a 1st rounder, or do you think he's safe to drop to late second or possibly below that?

Still a first rounder IMO.

He's a late first rounder (instead of being the first or second pick)

When you consider how many running backs drafted late first round are total busts every year, it's worth it to miss 3 weeks and then get a basically guaranteed top 5 running back (imo).

Definitely still a first rounder. You might have to overpay for Deangelo a round or two, but he should be a decent fill in for those games. Having LeVeon at the end of the year is what matters. Plus he'll have fresher legs down the stretch than other top-tiered RBs.

Well, I can tell you this. In my keeper league, I can keep L Bell for a cost of my 3rd round pick and this doesn't affect that decision.

In my non-keeper league, there are only a few players that I would draft over him, suspension or not. So I guess to me, it might drop him from 1st overall to a top 4 or 5, but certainly not out of the first round.

I agree. No way he gets the first overall pick. It'd be hard to see him before 6 or 7 pick. He should stay in the end of the first round, though.

I'd still take him after the first half of round 1. Also depends where you pick, draft another position then grab a RB top of round 2.
