I understand not wanting to remove Aaron Hernandez from your rankings completely, but he should not be in your top four hundred or so tight ends. It is obvious to me that he has less fantasy value than any of: Leonard Pope, Brit Miller, Dominique Jones, Todd Heap, Will Heller, Dallas Clark, Jake O'Connell, Randy McMichael, Chris Cooley, Justin Snow, or Shannon Sharpe, just to name a few.
I am still baffled that this isn't completely obvious to all. Guys either don't really comprehend the big picture or are in some sort of denial that a guy can fall from TE3 to completely done without being dead. HE IS COMPLETELY DONE IN THE NFL, PERMANENTLY.
As of Tuesday's arraignment, I think most of us get it. Most of us aren't holding out hope thinking he's going to come back and play. Most of us can see the evidence stacked against him, the pre-draft issues, the other crimes that are now surfacing in the media and agree that this guy
looks like the worst human being ever.
If the law were designed so that anyone can claim anything about anybody and they are immediately convicted and put away forever, than this thread would have ended long ago.
Some of us, despite knowing what he is up against, are willing to let it play out in court until we rule out that final 1% chance he ever plays again. There is nothing wrong with that. You obviously don't agree, and I respect that. I just wish you could respect my opinion.
And as far as rankings, I speak for myself, but in a 14 Team start 1 TE league, I don't care if the staffers rank him 42nd or 400th because the odds that any player in that range ever see my lineup are slim to none.
