ChiSox_Sonix Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Aug 26, 2014 -> 05:03 PM) Tell that to the coaches of the team, then, because they don't seem to be on board with Davonta this year. In fact: "With Steven Jackson (hamstring) still sidelined, Rodgers started and handled the vast majority of first-team work. Antone Smith mixed in sparingly and Devonta Freeman got just one series to himself. It's clear that Quizz, now in his fourth year with the Falcons, has the faith of the coaching staff even though they are aware of his talent limitations. He'd lead a committee approach if Jackson misses any time early in the season." If anything, it would be RBBC if/when SJax goes down. Good team but I'd definitely see if any other true handcuffs/backups are available and drop Quiz. (West, Polk, Davis, Starks etc...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Aug 26, 2014 -> 09:06 PM) 12 team, PPR, standard scoring QB: Drew Brees RB: Ben Tate RB: Toby Gerhart WR: AJ Green WR: Michael Crabtree TE: Kyle Rudolph FX: Michael Floyd D/ST: Bills K: Dan Carpenter Bench: RB: Mark Ingram, Lance Dunbar, Christine Michael WR: Dwayne Bowe, Justin Hunter, Kenny Britt TE: Tim Wright I had the 12th pick and wasn't happy about the running backs I had to pick from, and I'm still not particularly happy, but I think I can live. Dropped Tim Wright for Jordan Matthews.

Yes, the idea of a handcuff is to have a guy who will assume the full workload of the guy who got hurt, not someone that's going to be in a committee.

bmags Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Well, crap. Gordon is officially out. I don't think the NFL could have handled that ruling any worse. They continue to look like they rule out of spite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't mean that I didn't want him or that I'm blaming anybody else for taking him. I stated in this thread that I was looking to draft him around that time frame and someone else picked him before I could. I got Dwayne Bowe and Justin Hunter with my 9th and 10th round swing picks, two guys who I think have the possibility to be WR2s and, had Gordon been there for my 11th round pick, I was going to take him. I've never said otherwise, but yes, in hindsight, I'm glad someone else took him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSox_Sonix Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 I own Gordon in a league with 20 roster spots (9 bench spots) so I'm hanging on to him. I'm going to post this in both this and the NFL thread. It's basically detailing how Gordon could, and by Ohio law should, be able to appeal this. http://fieldandcourt.com/component/k2/item...his-appeal.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chw42 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 (edited) I joined a 10 team public league on Yahoo just for fun. Those leagues are no real fun. Way too many good players left on the free agent market. My bench is absolutely stacked. There's 3 guys who would have been starters in a 12 team league on my bench (Spiller, Decker, Kaepernick).

zenryan Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 I drafted Brady and Rivers and then looked and saw they have the same bye week in week 10. argh. might need to trade Rivers or pick up some scrub QB in week 10 and hope for a miracle. Brady Rivers Peterson Martin Lamar Miller Bush Harvin Floyd Jordy Nelson Mike Wallace Mike Evans Greg Jennings--last pick, probably will go another route Martellus Bennett Blair Walsh New England Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Brady's WRs had the 2nd most drops in the NFL last year behind Stafford. Also, 7 times, his WRs were tackled at the 1 yard line. Also no Gronk. Resisting temptation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
