I’m leaning towards starting him over Tee Higgins in ppr and I’m starting him in a bunch of places over Steelers wrs unless there’s some really positive news on that game today. Hoping the kid doesn’t throw too many picks and gobbles up some yards on the ground. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Picking up a guy late who may get snaps at QB. Picking up a guy who is a QB who will be allowed to play TE, weaksauce. Taysom had played more snaps at other positions. I could be wrong but I don't think Hinton has taken a snap in an NFL game at any position. So when he gets added, it's at the position he was signed to play. Although, he's still a wr in my sleeper league, he was in the database before. So at least that's somewhat consistent. Taysom was always a qb there so...

Ghost Rider Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 2 hours ago, Cobbler1 said: Ravens and Titans are/were having several players pop up with positive tests across multiple days. Their games were moved to prevent actively infected players from taking the field. That doesn’t appear to be a concern for the Broncos and wasn’t for the Niners or several teams earlier. The NFL is clear they won’t move games to prevent teams from taking the field at a competitive disadvantage but they will move them to prevent teams from blatantly spreading the virus on the field. Yep. I am a longtime Broncos fan and they have no but themselves to blame for this fiasco. The QB's should have been safer, and the coaching staff should have done a better job in making sure the players were following protocol.

Well yeah, the league wouldn’t allow them to sign one of their coaches to play QB because they’ve long had a rule specifically against doing so to avoid teams illegally expanding rosters by signing a player as a “coach”. And I don’t think that having an owner would have changed anything for them. The team made the decision to not isolate a QB for just three situations. The team made the decision to put all of their QBs in situations where they were in close contact without masks. The team tried to game the system by having their players not wear their tracking devices at times. The team initially lied to the NFL about contact tracing. This was an organizational decision to fail. Vic Fangio’s comments in September made it clear that he considered a game without his top 2 QBs as being essentially a loss anyway, so now Broncos fans and players know who to actually blame. The organization made the decision to essentially punt any game without their top QBs and now we’re seeing it play out. Frankly, I think their decision looks even worse because Lock has been awful anyway, so the idea that the backups would be a lost cause compared to Lock seems like bad calculus.

If a team announces that a player has switched from WR to QB, then the fantasy services should follow suit. Although the Broncos have not updated the roster on their website, they have officially announced that Hinton will be the team's quarterback today. At least that is a more consistent rationale than what ESPN did with Taysom Hill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since all 3 quarterbacks came into contact with Jeff Driskel (who did reportedly test positive), it meant that none of them would have been eligible to play by Tuesday. Of course, the reasonable common sense solution here would have been to just waive the 5-day requirement for anyone who tests negative and doesn't have any symptoms. But it's pretty obvious that the NFL had no interest in being reasonable. They wanted to make an example of someone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
