ESPN was talking about his return in December, I muttered something about his fantasy projections and my wife - who usually tunes out any conversation in the fantasy football stratosphere, immediately looked up from her Microsoft Surfacebook Pro Tablet and shot me a puzzled look.

She asked if someone in our league had DeShaun Watson. I told her yes, indeed he is on a roster. She then went on this 3 minute rant about how wrong it is that he's playing and having him on your fantasy team is basically condoning sexual assault - just like the Browns and the NFL are doing.

When she got done huffing and puffing, i informed her that I had drafted Watson for $3 (standard $200/12-team auction) had been stashing him on IR all season and that I may or may not play him. I havent made up my mind yet.

I have Justin Fields who is enfuego and PUT THE TEAM ON HIS BACK this week. Plus Tom Brady, but Fields might not have the hot hand come playoffs weeks and Brady has been pretty meh so far this year anyhow. We'll see how it goes. I'll make the call Sunday morning in December.

What do yall think? Could Watson return to his Houston form and be a major factor during fantasy playoffs? And does my wife have the right to be upset that I could not give a flying f*ck about her morals. Im trying to put up points, win games, and hang banners. End of story.

If he dropped his towel and jerked off on my wife or sister or daughter, i'd want to punch him in the f*cking face but I'd still play him if I thought he was gonna have .01 more points that Fields or Tompa. I play for keeps.

Michael Vick is a piece of shite. But that championship he helped me win was oh so sweet.

Your wife needs to relax…

Tyreek in dynasty, no shame felt although a lot of his accusations seem to be exaggerated by a jilted lover

I won a championship with Tyreek Hill and he pleaded guilty to domestic assault and battery of a pregnant woman.

Watson has not been charged or convicted of anything. The justice system has the job of meting out justice for crimes. Your job is to the best roster together. So, my thought is to play Watson if he's your best option.

That said, based on your other options, he probably isn't.

There are no morals in fantasy, I want to win period.

I am fairly confident that you fabricated this whole story based off the tv show series “the league” when the same situation occurs with a league member having Ben Roethlisberger

We play with stats, not feelings. Give me a championship. I have Watson and Kareem Hunt on my team.

I don’t need to read your long post to say that your wife shouldn’t have any input on your fantasy team

Women really should stay in their lane. She has nothing to do with your fantasy league, so tell her to take her opinions and shove them

Whether or not you play Deshaun on your fantasy team has absolutely zero bearing on whether he stays in the NFL or not.

If she is upset at Deshaun still being in the league, be upset at the NFL/Cleveland. Fans has nothing to do with it.

Tell your wife you were going to take her out to dinner with your winnings, but since she is all bothered with morals, you're going to take your girlfriend instead.
