Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk believes there is a "very good chance" Ezekiel Elliott plays Week 1.
Elliott's appeal will be heard on Tuesday morning with a decision likely to come in the next week. If the decision does not go his way, Florio believes Elliott will take the case to court, seeking an injunction which allows him to play while the legal situation shakes out. Of course, doing so would make it possible he misses late-season and even potentially playoff games instead of the first six. Even with the appeal today, this saga is far

So who's the one who name dropped me on SleeperBot

This actually makes me more worried as a Zeke owner. Don't want them end up missing late season games, I was fine with him missing the first 6

Yep.

The Cowboys have four RBs on their roster (Elliott, McFadden, Morris, Hillman) who all have a 100-yard game more recently than Todd Gurley.

Vance McDonald traded to Pitt. Value up.

Anyone think this helps make Kittle viable? I'm not sure about rookie TE's, and that offense isnt necessarily setting the world on fire. Still seems like something to keep an eye on.

How high up? Right now I have Engram as a TE and have no idea how he will fare.

Agreed.
I keep forgetting about this thread.
This guy was Kaep's favorite target. He could do some things in that offense. Ben likes his TEs and McDonald is more athletic than what they've had lately. Except for Green obviously, but how many games did he even play?

Jets put Forte on the trading block

Kittle dynasty value up too
Posted on 8/29/17 at 12:21 pm to CE Tiger
He will be cut if anything
Posted on 8/29/17 at 12:33 pm to AUtigerNOLA
I like Engram a lot. I'd keep him for sure but if you have a roster spot for Vance I'd look at holding both

Rotoworld re Forte
Powell has pretty mediocre numbers over his six-year career. Bright spot is only one lost fumble. How's he going to carry the load for a team that will need to run the ball to run out the clock. Reminds me of an old interview someone did with Barry Switzer. The reporter asked him what he would do if his team was getting slaughtered by a bunch. He said, run the ball three times and punt. It's the only way to get the game to end.

USA Today's Tom Pelissero reports the Jets have "gauged the trade market" for Matt Forte.
This one was easy to see coming. The Jets are scrapping the entire plane as they tank 2017, selling even the nuts and bolts. A running back entering his age-32 season isn't exactly a necessary piece for a rebuild, especially when Gang Green could see what Bilal Powell offers as a true three-down back. Sixth-rounder Elijah McGuire is also vying for work. The problem is, Forte's entire $4 million salary is guaranteed. If the Jets are going to move on from Forte, it will likely be via release later this week.

The Fort Worth Star-Telegram's Clarence Hill reports NFL lead investigator Kia Roberts recommended no suspension for Ezekiel Elliott.
It is notable because Roberts' recommendation was omitted from the NFL's report, and Hill reports Roberts was barred from a meeting discussing potential discipline. She did testify during the appeals hearing, and her testimony among other things "improved" the likelihood Elliott's suspension is reduced or even overturned, according to Hill. Appeals officer Harold Henderson is reportedly "under pressure" to reach his decision by Monday, so hopefully we will know Zeke's fate in the next several days.

It's so obvious that the NFL's position on this whole thing is a manufactured narrative. Everything is so artificial and orchestrated.

Wow Goodell is a bigger bitch than I thought. Didn't think that was possible
Posted on 8/31/17 at 8:43 pm to Byron Bojangles III
Goodell must belong to the DNC.

With Kearse being dealt out, Lockett and Paul Richardson's stock is looking better in deeper leagues you would think.

Does it boost Baldwin or Graham any?
