So yeah, my first real money draft is tomorrow and I have the 6th pick and today's news........has me a little nervous. Anyone else concerned he might just play his 6 requisite games to accrue the year towards free agency and then be much less willing to play through any injuries he gets the...

Didn't know that. So I'll rephrase, those elite guys should be holding out the second the whistle blows on the last game of their 3rd season. In every case like Zeke's, with no exceptions. Both sides are right on this.  The owners are correct that paying a 27/28 year old back who's been 5th...

I hear you...but this is just a concept I see TOTALLY differently than what you are explaining here, and that same narrative the owners are feeding ESPN to use on their talk shows. I would argue that, IF ANYTHING, Zeke is doing them a favor by making them pay for the BEST PRODUCTION YEARS OF...

 Something HAS to change or running backs are going to start routinely holding out after their ROOKIE years if they outperform their salary. I don't think all problems get solved with the new CBA, but I think this is one that has a decent chance of seeing some reform. Either way, I hope Zeke...

This isn't going to be a popular opinion...but as someone who has no dog in this fight, I'm gonna speak my mind. I'm not a Cowboy fan or hater.  I don't own Zeke in any keeper dynasty formats.  What I'm about to say goes for ALL running backs. Zeke is absolutely doing the right thing.  The...

Any of you scholars know if the "accrual season" issue covered by the CBA speaks to the playoffs? I mean, if he really wanted to take this to another level couldn't he just report for weeks 10-17 to "accrue" his free agency and then turn around and re-start his hold out by refusing to show up...

I'm in the exact same situation, but mine is a 12 man league.  Njoku was dropped this week and my starter is Burton so I picked him up.  Talent isn't the kids' problem, sometimes it just takes longer for some guys to figure it out.  That being said I'm keeping him on a short leash, I'm not going...

Call me crazy, but Barber is a sneaky flex play this weekend if you're in a pinch.

Yeah but I would think that the Steelers and Bell's agent would come to some sort of agreement BEFORE the Steelers would be willing to rescind the tag. So basically all this talk about the Steelers not being able to do anything other than follow through on the franchise tag is false.  There is...

Ok...and then at THAT point the Steelers could then offer him a long term contract no?

Forgive my ignorance, but do the Steelers still have the ability to rescind the tag or are we passed that point?

I'm torn right now choosing between Gordon and Baldwin as my flex in week 1.  Each presents risk for different reasons.

He's about as safe a ppr pick as exists.  I take issue with some of the posts in this thread throwing a negative connotation toward his situation.  I'd argue he's in a fantastic situation. 1) I'm personally high on Rosen, so in my opinion he's got not 1 but two good QB's on the roster.  If...

Pretty wide range of outcomes with Lockett, but given his draft price....why the hell not?  I actually picked him up off waivers in one league yesterday so it cost me nothing. My initial reaction to his contract extension is that the Seahawks view him as a key player this season.  A key player...

I can see opinions on this guy vary all over the map but personally....I think he's in for a big year.  Might just end up being the biggest steal of drafts relative to ADP when we look back months from now.
