Welcome to Our Forums. Once you've registered and logged in, you're primed to talk football, among other topics, with the sharpest and most experienced fantasy players on the internet.
IIRC these two were touted here with all the Hernandez news. I'm kind of curious if this actually hurt some dynasty folks.
The same thing happened with Zac Stacy and Da'Rick Rogers. The lesson should be not to spend high rookie picks on guys who were late rounders in the NFL draft. Not only is there a reason that they fell, but NFL draft status imparts a prospect with a bit of inertia to protect against sudden shocks in value. If Gio Bernard had a crappy preseason, his value wouldn't drop much. When Jonathan Franklin does it, his draft value is going to tank by a round or more.Bri said:
True, but then you have the AJ Jenkins' and DHB's of the world who are NFL first round picks, but should not be drafted fantasy wise as such.
Also true, but that's with the benefit of hindsight. Many people thought Cam Newton should not have been drafted as a 1st round pick, too. Chris Johnson seems to have fallen awfully far for a 1st round RB. Demaryius Thomas wasn't a very sexy rookie pick, as most people were too busy blaming him for not being Dez.
Pats are only down to 65 players. They still have 12 more moves to make by tomorrow.SaintsInDome2006 said:And now this...

Someone's missing.....
Oh yeah Sims made the team.
Not saying I doubt you but I am not seeing this news anywhere.
Yes. This. For this reason I have Christine Michael instead of Stacy and Marquise Goodwin instead of Rogers.
I haven't seen the Deji Karim part anywhere else yet either, though John McClain also said Wood made the team. Here's the original tweet:
He looked solid in the Seattle game. That's all I saw. From reading the conversations of Packer fans it seemed a lock he would win the backup job. Am I wrong here?
Some reference to the team being bad enough/amateur enough to get blacked out, I assume. Do they have problems with that?
So she is taking to twitter after her husband was cut via email? Sounds like a ficticional reason why white people riot.
No..thought he would be.I don't think Coleman is ready...or good...and trusting a recent cut who doesn't know the system?
Not sure how certain it was, but read something that said Thompson was likely going to PUP or IR. And I think Brown was already on the 53, so Mellette is the one that gains from Doss's departure.
WOW, what? I thought Young played great given his lack of time to get the system down.
I've been known to scroll through page after page of comments on only a single topic. Five? Luxury.
We know the season is over if Rodgers has a major injury, but what if he misses one game like two years ago? We need a serviceable backup that can keep the game competitive. Flynn did a great job against New England when Rodgers missed a game due to an eye injury. They did lose, but not by much. Coleman offers no chance whatsoever to win games with Rodgers out. At least with Young they would be able to catch a defense off-guard for a week or two because of his running ability. I thought he did really well on the bread and butter of recent Packer plays... the roll-out. He had some good passes and runs off the play-action. Totally shocked he was cut, at the price they could have kept him.
I was more shocked that they cut Harrel than Young. They invested a lot of time into Harrel and IMO he played better this preseason than he had in past years.
Me too. I wonder if they aren't working on a trade. I can't imagine they're going to sit with what they have.
