That should get baked into his value, and if some naive owners don’t want to realize this fact then sell them Zeke at his inflated price of a top 3 dynasty asset.
I agree that this is a red flag in that it could be an indication of higher chance of possible incidents down the line. However, realistically, how much does this hurt Zeke's dynasty value?

He's still a locked-in elite dynasty RB. Maybe you move him down slightly in that top tier from RB2 to RB4 and elevate McCaffrey and Kamara over him. Maybe now you break the tie in favor of Beckham or Hopkins in a startup draft. I don't see anyone moving Zeke down further than that in their rankings though due to this video.

Yeah, this doesn't really change his value one bit. Everybody already knew that Zeke was full of red flags, so the type of person that accounts for that already had Zeke discounted and probably doesn't own him wouldn't have traded for him for full value. The type of person that doesn't care about the red flags isn't changing their opinion and will still pay full value. It's really a nothing story other than to confirm what we already knew about him yet again.

They're gonna pay him. If there's one thing Jerry Jones is good at, it's overpaying his players and blowing his money.

Yes this most certainly impacts his value. Why? because we are talking dynasty folks. Running back career spans are notoriously short the way it is. How can one pound their fist on the table and say they will stay away from an otherwise talented and productive rb with a degenerative knee issue that will shorten a career and yet be completely un effected by reports, video and a history of stupid behavior? they are essentially the same damb thing.... Don't ignore off the field behavior. The Cowboys / Jerry Jones - Not the smartest imo,..... Because they have faith in him and are willing to over pay him, That doesn't mean there is fewer concerns about his juvenile behavior that will eventually cost him more games. I own zero shares of Zeke. I think he is a punk and even though I respect his ability, I'm not a fan of what I know of his character. He likely isn't a bad human, he is just a young very rich and famous athlete. It is often times a toxic combination. He just needs to stay home.... But, I digress - He is talented and runs behind a good o-line. Im sure if he is on the field and healthy that he can and will put up top 5 rb production. Problem is - He is a ticking time bomb and if you are comfortable putting your eggs in that basket, go for it. Not for me. I was actually considering an offer for him in one league. I've moved on. :nono:

Even though some may write it off as division trash talking, maybe the truest comment in this thread.

Jones certainly has money to blow I guess. When he bought the franchise it was nearly broke and today it's the most valuable sports franchise in the world.

FF is supposed to be fun. If I can't stand a guy, because he's a terrible human being, I don't want to cheer for him, (like Tyreek,) so I don't roster him. Nobody is talking about curing the world's problems. This statement is clueless.

You're the one that's being combative. Classic trolling. Calling people's actions pathetic when you really don't know them, or the total background of their decisions is grade A hypocrisy.
