Re: Ezekiel Elliott - Possible Suspension
Good break down of bar fighting metrics. You could take it a step further and compare the amount of fights involving your typical bar scum, college kids, multi-million dolaar athletes/entertainers, and politicians. Would be an interesting pie chart.

Re: Ezekiel Elliott - Possible Suspension
Oh, and to answer OP's original post. I wouldn't buy McFadden for anything. Maybe a 4th. I would blow some FAAB on him. He has value as a handcuff regardless of a suspension but only in leagues deep enough where you can actually afford to roster a player who literally does nothing most weeks.
And in terms of Zeke, doesn't impact his value at all IMO. Even if Goodell struck down some bogus suspension against him.

Re: Ezekiel Elliott - Possible Suspension
I personally feel the most concerning information we have seen/ heard about Zeke is his father's quote .... "My biggest worry is ... I don't believe my son knows how to navigate in life being a superstar,"
From what we have seen so far, his father was/is right to be worried. Every few months, Zeke finds his name in the tabloids due to some immature action.
All of that aside, though, he is still a top fantasy asset.

Re: Ezekiel Elliott - Possible Suspension
Says the dude who proceeds to emotionally, hypocritically, and uninformedly criticize forum members.
It's a hot take society and a slow news cycle. People are going to jump on every bit of news that trickles out. One witness says Zeke knocked the guy out. Another witness says somebody reached over Zeke to throw the finishing punch. The story is going to be all over the place with a lot of he said, she said for awhile.
It's just interesting when any of these incidents occur to see the line drawn and what side people take and watch their biases come out. I wonder where these same forum members came down on Mixon who had a similar one time incident at a younger age?
Goodell better be careful with punishing Zeke and going against Jerry. Without Kraft on his side, Jerry's all he has. I don't think anything will come of this. 2 game suspension announced for the previous stuff then an appeal to drop to 1 game and everyone saves face and pats themselves on the back.
Re: Ezekiel Elliott - Possible Suspension
Man, a lot of people get touchy when you bash Zeke a little it seems. I'm not going to comment on the suspension possibilities, but I will say Zeke has kinda rubbed me the wrong way from the door. Aside from all those other off field issues, I don't like his "feed me" celebration, I don't like the flamboyant clothes and attitude in pressers, I didn't like the way he ran around like a moron with no shirt at the skills competition at pro bowl. I'm not saying these things make him a bad person or a thug, It's just his whole persona doesn't sit well with me. But can't deny those stats though...

Re: Ezekiel Elliott - Possible Suspension
Sounds like you're kind of boring and prefer players to not have personalities. Also sounds like you hate every football player ever because every one of them does some sort of feed me persona.sugbear65 wrote: ↑Tue Jul 18, 2017 1:07 pm Man, a lot of people get touchy when you bash Zeke a little it seems.

Re: Ezekiel Elliott - Possible Suspension
Nope, I actually really like some of the me first mentality players, like Sammy Watkins for example. There's a difference between a "my ball" kind of personality, and just acting like a clown. And I think Zeke is a clown. So I guess if not approving of acting like an immature self destructive dolt is boring, count me in. But rest assured I don't hate all football players, I certainly picked the wrong hobby if that were the case.Jason3123 wrote: ↑Tue Jul 18, 2017 3:42 pmSounds like you're kind of boring and prefer players to not have personalities.

Re: Ezekiel Elliott - Possible Suspension
I don't think dynasty owners should just blow this off as nothing. I would be selling - you can get tip top value for him, he has nowhere to go but down. His decision making off the field seems suspect, just a matter of time before there's a real big story, the warning signs are all there staring everyone in the face.
Re: Ezekiel Elliott - Possible Suspension
As a Zeke owner of course this crosses my mind... but what will be worse? A) a long suspension for something. B) him never getting any long suspensions and continuing to tear up the leaguethebeast wrote: ↑Tue Jul 18, 2017 6:00 pmI don't think dynasty owners should just blow this off as nothing.

B would hurt too bad... if he screws up big time I think I am going to have to go down with the ship

Re: Ezekiel Elliott - Possible Suspension
It's obvious Zeke is putting himself in bad situations. I say 4 weeks and could be more in 2 months depending on his off field issues. Grab DMC and watch him gain carries throughout the season because the first few games will show that they will want to rest their starter now and again. With no Dunbar and their starting back making stupid choices, McFadden is an easy flier behind a very good line for practically free.
