I refuse to touch Lamar Miller with a 10-foot pole in fantasy until i see him have a consistent full season.

I see people hyping him up as a first round pick and im just like

The talent is there i think, but he's done nothing as of yet to prove hes worth that high of a pick.

Il give you that he just was remaining late in the draft and just drafted him to fill my roster paid off lol

DO IT. I won my league last year drafting AB in the first and having eli as my qb along with matt ryan (2 qb league). Think i drafted them in like the 8/9th rounds or something respectively

Oh yeah i think mid to late round hes a steal, but at the top of the draft no way lol

Then again being on a team coached by Bill O'Brien im sure Lamar will be involved a lot in the pass game as well as running it, so maybe the change of scenery is the difference maker

Yep ab/obj first then running back 2nd ap/lb/dm. I usually pick a quaterback in 8th but ive gone as late as 12th as well. Ive read a few people saying big ben is supposed to be the quarterback this year for fantasy points.

We had people pick Peyton and Luck in the first round. 10 QBs went in first two rounds. I got Dalton and Eli in like the 15 and 12. I never draft a QB early unless it's a stupid league that has crash QB points (draft for a buddy of mine. 2 QB league. QBs got .5 pts PER COMPLETION wtf)

Cardinals' S Chris Clemons may face assault charges

Invalid Link Removed

TEMPE, Ariz. - Scottsdale police recommended to the city prosecutor's office that assault and disorderly conduct charges be brought against veteran Arizona Cardinals safety Chris Clemons for a May 8 incident outside a Scottsdale night club. The recommendation was made two weeks ago.

Clemons allegedly assaulted a female outside of International, a night club in the Old Town area of Scottsdale, according to a police report. The victim was knocked out for 20 to 30 seconds by a punch to the face after an altercation in a parking lot near the club, according to the report. According to the victim, whose name was redacted in the report, Clemons punched her with a closed fist, which caused her to bleed from her nose and mouth, fall and hit her head.

Yeah agreed. going qb early is NEVER smart in fantasy. I was in a huge QB points league and the guy i beat in the finals had blake bortles as one of his QBs. Pretty sure he was picked up off the waiver wire after going undrafted and was putting up huge stats all year (lot of garbage time numbers, but hey it all counts the same in fantasy). I also had kirk cousins on the bench and subbed him in occasionally with great success.

Point is you can get a good fantasy QB late in the draft or even the waiver wire. no need to waste a top pick on a Brady or Rodgers when you can get an Eli or Rivers or Romo in round 10 and still get 4,000 yards and 30+ touchdown passes

NFL medical adviser Elliot Pellman retiring; move prompted by Roger Goodell
Invalid Link Removed

The NFL will replace longtime and controversial medical adviser Elliot Pellman with a new full-time chief medical officer, commissioner Roger Goodell wrote Wednesday in a letter to club executives.

For years, Dr. Elliot Pellman has been a central figure in the NFL's concussion crisis.
Pellman will retire, Goodell wrote, but the commissioner made the decision that prompted Pellman's retirement, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter. Goodell understands that the NFL must demonstrate strong leadership on health and safety and that its players and fans need to trust in the league, the sources said.

Pellman is retiring after a 30-year career with the NFL. A rheumatologist, Pellman had served as New York Jets team doctor and was also chairman of the league's powerful research arm.

You will believe DEZ is elite after he schools that "second coming of Nnamdi Asomugha " Josh Norman. He had one good year and skins paid him 5 yrs @ 75 mill. Trust me if he was that critical the panthers would have kept him they let him leave without a fight.

There is something called a salary cap. Panthers didnt want to have to compete with 5 year 75 mill contact.

Jerry Jones does not mind paying an arm and a leg to have headaches on his team.
And then going 8-8 and missing the playoffs.
They are known for both of these things.

Lawrence suspended 4 games for drugs
They signed hardy last year after his horrible track record and it did not improve.
I am surprised Manziel has not found a home there yet.

If Dallas was smart they would draft Defense... They can't stop a team to save their life. Elliot was a great pickup, don't get me wrong, But you need to address your weakness. Defense wins championships. You won't win or go deep in the playoffs trying to play shootout every single game.

Hey now no need to diss my man Nnamdi. He had accomplished 10x more than Norman has to this point. He flamed out with the Eagles but the people forget the dude was a beast with the Raiders for like 6-7 years straight

He flamed out with the Eagles for the same reason most high priced FA acquisitions do - scheme. He was a beast with the raiders on the outside. The Eagles used him inside because apparently, using a primo outside shutdown CB inside makes sense.

Josh Gordon met with Roger Goodell on reinstatement

Invalid Link Removed

Suspended Cleveland Browns wide receiver Josh Gordon met with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell this week to discuss his return to the NFL, according to sources.

The meeting was first reported by the NFL Network and confirmed by ESPN.

Gordon can reapply for reinstatement to the league on Aug. 1, and the meeting had been scheduled as part of that process. Sources tell ESPN's Dan Graziano that a decision on Gordon's status is not likely before the start of the season.

Gordon was suspended two games in 2013, 10 games in 2014 and for the entire 2015 season for violating the NFL's substance-abuse policy. He was denied reinstatement in April after reports he failed a drug test because of a diluted samples that also tested positive for marijuana. The level of marijuana did not meet the NFL's threshold for suspension, but the diluted samples are considered the same as a positive test.
 
Packers confirm NFL will interview Clay Matthews, Julius Peppers over PED allegation

Invalid Link Removed

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Green Bay Packers president Mark Murphy confirmed Thursday that the NFL will interview Clay Matthews and Julius Peppers, who were named in an Al-Jazeera America report linking them to performance-enhancing drugs.

It was the first acknowledgment by anyone from the Packers' organization of the interviews, which are expected to take place in Green Bay when training camp opens next week.

"The league is pursuing that," Murphy said following the team's annual shareholders meeting. "I know there's been some resistance from the NFLPA about the credibility of some of the sources there, but I don't think we know much more than that."

Speaking of Headache Hardy:

Jaguars work out Greg Hardy; no plans to sign him, source says

Invalid Link Removed

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- The Jaguars confirmed they worked out free-agent defensive end Greg Hardy over the past two days, but a league source says the team has no plans to sign him at this point.

Pro Football Talk first reported news of the workout.

Sources told ESPN that the Jaguars were doing their due diligence by bringing in Hardy and wanted to sit with him face-to-face to see where he was mentally and physically.
 
No need for Hardy unless Fowler has a set back

Leveon Bell skipped a drug test and may be facing another suspension. Idiot
 
Steelers RB Le'Veon Bell facing 4-game ban for missed drug test

Invalid Link Removed

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Le'Veon Bell is facing a four-game suspension for a violation of the NFL's drug policy, sources told ESPN's Dan Graziano.

The suspension is the result of a missed drug test, not a failed one, sources said. The reason it hasn't been announced is that the appeal process is ongoing.

No date for Bell's appeal has been set, although it's expected that it will be heard before the regular season. If it isn't overturned, Bell would miss the first four games of the season.
 
Ezekiel Elliott's Girlfriend Posts Photos Of Bruises, Claims She's A Victim Of Domestic Violence

Invalid Link Removed

A woman named Tiffany Thompson, who is known to be Dallas Cowboys rookie Ezekiel Elliott’s girlfriend, just posted photos on her Instagram account showing bruises that she alleges are the result of domestic abuse.

Thompson does not specifically accuse Elliott of abusing her in the caption on the first set of photos, but directed the second set of photos at his Instagram handle.

Update (10:20 a.m.): TMZ is reporting that they have obtained a copy of a police report detailing Elliott’s alleged assault of Thompson. According to the report, Elliott allegedly attacked Thompson while she was sitting the driver’s seat of her parked car. The report states that Elliott was not arrested due to conflicting reports from witnesses, but that Thompson was referred to the prosecutor’s office.

Moron. His contract is up next year I think. I know he came into the NFL in 2013, so it should be up 2017. He has yet to play a full season too due to injury or suspension. He just shot himself in the foot with his new contract. He will get paid, don't get me wrong, but I don't think he will become to new highest paid RB.

See i agree i dont think he did it. Although there was at one point "witnesses" who said ray rice didnt do it either. Money talks and people will attest to anything for the right pice. It also goes the other way around. People will accuse innocent people because of money. With that said i don't think he did it.

He is actually a FA after this season, he really goofed.

In terms of Zeek, going off of what we know, I would say he is innocent. So many other vouched for him. Who knows, I'm sure there is other info that is not yet out.

True!!! I want to see him play a full season, as he is always the leading rushing(or close to it) until hes injured/suspended. He average 4.9 yards a carry last year before he was out, thats just ludicrous!

I dont know if he is innocent or not, you cant just not show for drug test. I mean come on if it was that easy i think no one would ever show up for them. So if you dont show you up they assume you guilty and slap on a 4 game suspension. Idiot!!!

Im glad though as it means my steelers are more likely to keep him.


Anyone else think tampa could be pretty solid this year? Doug martin was #2 rusher last year. Winston is getting better and they said their line has improved a lot; over the offseason. I still dont think theyll make it to the playoffs but i think they be a solid team now.
