Brady and Peterson said the same thing. Lotta sports law guys are saying under the CBA it’s near impossible for the player to best Goodell, given his power. Delaying the inevitable, so to speak

I should've added they were speaking in terms of pushing it to 2018. My mistake.

I don't know how that impacts the point you're making though. Just passing along information I heard. I don't have any stock in the situation.

Crapshoot IMO.

Could be either but Morris has done well in Dallas every time he has touched the ball. I think he is more likely to stay healthy and is capable of handling a true workload.

Mcfadden I hate with a passion. He is the annually hyped must add RB. Every chance he has had to be featured ends with him not on your roster by week 15.

I can live with dropping Morris if it doesn't work out. I can't live with rostering Mcfadden and have him burn me one more time.

I agree with “no telling” and understand that some analysts are picking McFadden but doesn’t add up to me. This isn’t like the Fozzy Whitaker situation. Morris can handle the load.

How does this effect Dak? Better or worse?

I would think it means more volume for Dak, especially in the redzone. Short yardage situations were a no-brainer give it to Zeke...now they might want to lean on Dak more than a Morris or McFadden. But I don't expect the run game to become completely ineffective allowing teams to key in on stopping the pass or anything

So how much FAAB money should I expect to blow on McFadden?

Not much imo. Hard to see Zeke not appealing imo. I think the time did just eating the suspension has come and gone.

NFL says Ezekiel Elliott suspension is effective immediately, meaning he couldn't go to practice if the Cowboys had one tomorrow. He would be eligible to return to the team Nov. 24, the day after Dallas' game against the Chargers.

No

Riddick's usage has been declining, it's what we've been waiting for for Abdullah to possibly become a thing.

Plus we dont know about appeals and alf morris very well likely could be the guy. On top of that, that line isnt what it was last year. Zeke has been doing the majority of the work w/ yards after contact. Alf and DMC wont be as effective imo

Would you drop Perine for Morris in a 16-team PPR league?

I would drop Perine for him. He hasn’t looked good and looks like Kelley is the guy. That backfield has hurt more than it’s helped FF. I’d wash my hands of it first chance

Surprised Alf’s available in a 16 team league. Bad mistake Zeke owner

Is Cohen worth dropping for DMC? I'm leaning yes

Agreed, and this is a very competitive league filled with fantasy nerds and one ESPN producer.
