Zeke startup stock drop?

Postby hockeyBjj » Mon Jul 17, 2017 11:34 am

For those who haven't seen, allegedly Zeke punched a DJ in a bar and knocked him out cold. How does this effect his startup price?

I'm drafting startup for a friend this Saturday, so details are very murky. He has the #5 pick and originally he was hoping one of Evans, OBJ, Johnson, or Zeke fell a spot out of that top 4. If Zeke is there at 5 in light of this pending assault, do you take him or pass? 1 suspension isn't enough to drop value in dynasty really, but he's looking to have some pretty bad behavior problems. Domestic abuse allegations (found innocent) whipping out that girl's titty on Mardi Gras, and now finally this.

I'd still take him at 5 easily. Worst case he's suspended for a little bit and then comes back and is just as valuable.

I would also include Bell to make it a top 5 and take whoever is left between the 5.

Agreed.

The only reports I've seen so far are from TMZ, so unless a better source surfaces, take advantage of any discounts than can be had.

I am in a startup this week as well and have the #4 pick, so I have the same dilemma. Given the latest news, I expect OBJ, DJ and Evans to go top 3, leaving me a choice of Zeke or Bell. I'd probably still take Zeke at 4 if he falls...

personally...i just dont like him. im avoiding in all leagues, ive had enough problems with guys like that in other leagues and teams...

i will say this...remember that Shady didnt get even a warning from his altercation last offseason from a philly bar brawl. it may be different but i wouldnt expect Zeke to face too much for this

BUUUUT there's been a lot more stuff from him that isnt as widely known that i think will lead to issues down the line. id much rather have Evans (who i think is in for a down year anyways) or OBJ or DJ and some other guys.

Same here. At worst, I might move him from my RB1 to RB2/3, but he's still a top 3 RB and top 5 overall.
