'Bombshell...Dwayne Bowe suspended 4 games effective immediately - violates NFL performance enhancing drugs policy'

ETA article:

The Kansas City Chiefs today confirmed that the National Football League has suspended WR Dwayne Bowe for four games for “violating the NFL policy on performance enhancing substances.” Bowe’s suspension will begin immediately.

As a result of the league suspension, the team will have no further comment.

Ouch.

There is no way to overstate how much this hurts the Chiefs. For an offense that has had nothing but problems this season, it’s hard to imagine the passing game doing much of anything against Pittsburgh.

Todd Haley likes to talk about opportunities… Well, Lance Long, Mark Bradley and Bobby Wade have a huge one in front of them right now. Chris Chambers immediately becomes the Chiefs No. 1 receiver and one of the aforementioned guys will have to step up to be his running mate.

Chris Chambers listed as the number 1 receiver.

 

[beavers]

Oof

 

[frogpond11]

[Black]

Well this hurts my chances in more then 1 league

x2...have him in two leagues: Dynasty and Keeper Redraft.ARE you freaking kidding? Oh man that sucks.Is this why they got Chambers???Next 4 weeksIT @SDG DEN BUF...maybe only SD was a decent start anyways?? (he says, looking for a silver lining...)

 

[identikit]

Long-term, this may be his ticket out of KC...

Which can't be all bad for dynasty FF owners...

 

[ghawk]

WOW... I just traded Greg Olsen for Bowe last week and I was planning to use Bowe alongside Sims-Walker for the rest of the year. There goes my plan.. GOOD GRIEF!

 

[FGITLOTR]

okay, is the right pickup Long or Chambers?

 

[thehornet]

really? really?

man oh man.

 

[Black]

Long-term, this may be his ticket out of KC...Which can't be all bad for FF owners...

knowing Haley, they sit him the rest of the year, then cut or trade him....

 

[munygon2]

I'm definitely interested in seeing who the best pickup will be.

Great - I kept this bum over Marshall before the season.

Very possible...I should have said for 'dynasty FF owners'...

 

[Payne]

This sucks

 

[FFCardsFan]

effin' sweet.

 

[Ted Lange as your Bartender]

If he wants to enhance his performance he should take catching lessons!

 

[Literary Reference]

Whatever he was taking to enhance his performance, he wasn't taking enough.

 

[Crusaderfan]

This plus losing Ronnie Brown puts the finishing touches on one of my crappiest seasons ever. Bowe never really got it going but there was always hope that he would. Crap

 

[bonesman]

Frack

A couple notes from Adam Schefter:

'From what I gather, Chiefs WR Dwayne Bowe was trying to lose weight in training camp and took a diuretic.'

'Bowe found out about his suspension earlier this month and has decided not to appeal it. He knows those are battles players don't win.'

'So there it is. Now we know why the Chiefs claimed wide receiver Chris Chambers off waivers. They knew Bowe suspension was coming.'

 

[BRONG]

Could somebody give me an update on what this does to their team?

 

[FavreCo]

Could somebody give me an update on what this does to their team?

They suck worse. Chambers goes to #1 spot, draws #1 coverage and hopefully doubled since I am going against him this week.

Who should I pick up - Floyd or Hartline?TIA

Unless you're in Minnesota

 

[Banger]

perfect...just what I need.

or you're guilty.

 

[Otis]

Wow

 

[Andy Dufresne]

If I played for that squad, I'd take painkillers too.

[lyon812]

If it's a diuretic, it's very akin to the StarCaps case. I'm surprised he didn't try to appeal it like the Williamses.

 

[fasteddie_21]

Lance Long benefits the most imo. Chambers will see the majority of the coverage and in PPR, Long becomes very viable imo.

how sure are you of that? what's Bowe's contract like?also, would be helpful to know for myself, whether to drop Bowe now or hold on to him for weeks 15 and 16.

 

[jurrassic]

I have Bowe in a re-draft league and I am dropping him. Any holding onto him?

I am, but I'm 8-2 and have a bye Week 14. I still think he'll have value in weeks 15 and 16.
