What do the betting markets say most recently about Elliott? In betting markets that don't block out actors with inside information, to me that is usually the best indicator of what will happen.....
You quoted me when you said that. This is after you sent me a private message earlier essentially saying the same thing. Don't try to pretend you were talking about "some people," in general. You were clearly directing your comment at me. Why don't you stick to the topic & not throw barbs at those who you don't agree with?

Charles Robinson replied to that tweet with the below:
If Henderson rules against #Cowboys Zeke Elliott and he can't get injunction, suspension wouldn't begin until week 2, regardless.

Makes sense. The delay in a ruling from Henderson means that even if the suspension is upheld, Elliott will receive his Week 1 game pay; part of the terms of the suspension is that he would be suspended without pay. Because of the delay, any suspension (with pay) could begin with Week #2 at the earliest.

Come on lawyers, drag this out until next season. You can make it happen. Think of the fees you can rack up.

Running backs, even stud ones, aren't worth as many points as you would think. Elite QBs are worth the most - basically a touchdown (Luck being out moved Colts from -3 to +3) . Pinnacle already has Dallas -3.5 so they aren't worried about crossing any key numbers. Even if insiders know he is playing, might not move the line at all.

I think he is talking about odds of Zeke getting his suspension overturned. There were odds out there very favorable toward him being suspended.
In these cases you can "follow the money" and pretty much be right on most of the time. I can't find any betting that discusses odds of Zeke's suspension being overturned
Currently there are none on this website:

Dan and Mavis, please keep this 100% on Elliott and not back and forth shots between you two. Thanks.
I agree with following the money. If there were, I assume they were taken OTB some time ago.
Obviously, I was referencing the fact that when steam hits a betting market it's a good indication that people have information that isn't yet public. Even if the game side doesn't move, it doesn't necessarily imply anything about an EE decision because RBs playing/not playing don't move lines significantly.

We discussed this before. There's no way any of us can know whether he's guilty or not. Since I have no idea, I'm rooting for him because I drafted him. That's the whole of my concern.

Zeke was the RB24 and the RB26 vs NYG last year while ranking as RB14 or higher all other 14 games.
Saw this on twitter and the scoring system wasn't mentioned.

No need to withdraw it. It's certainly a point worth noting, that as sports fans we root for some pretty bad guys on occasion. I have spent the last several years of my life rooting for Kobe Bryant and Ben Roethlisberger, two men who may have been rapists. I'd prefer not to know the details, so I don't have to feel guilty about cheering for them.

Several sources now reporting that Elliot will be eligible to play Week 1.

Yeah, never trust the NFL is what I have learned.

Apparently NFL did about-face on "no Tuesday 4:00 p.m. ET deadline" routine & said he plays Sunday even if appeal decision comes Wednesday.

If it's the full suspension, or even 4 games, then I think I'd rather it start immediately. i calculated that without him my team needs to tread water and go .500 and I'll be OK.
Or..would it better to start 1-0 and then take the hit?

When it comes to money I will hope for good statistics from my players to win me games and win me money. Outside of that, I couldn't care less what these athletes amount to. I try not to draft these kinds of guys, but at the end of the day many elite athletes aren't upstanding citizens. Much of it we don't hear about TBH...

I don't quite understand what's Taking Henderson so long. This doesn't seem that complicated a case.

I wish it started immediately and got cut to less games.
Now I have to make a decision.

On Zeke, my understanding is the NFLPA called BS on the league's effort to abandon the 4 pm ET Tuesday rule and the NFL promptly caved.
Lock and load Zeke this week, wait and see on the rest...

Ezekiel Elliott 6 game suspension has been upheld by Harold Henderson, per source

Of course it was. Once Elliott filed his suit, there was no reason for the NFL (I mean, Henderson as an arbitrary party) to reduce the suspension by even a single game.
