Martavis owners

[Dynastychamp111]

There is a guy in my league that is so High on bryant he wants Jordy nelson and my 1.05 for him. Obviously i told him to go fish....

Team 1 I sent out Bryant trying to get Ty Montgomery and 2 3rds. Dont really care either side. Just disappointed

I think you can do better than T.M. and 2 third round rookie picks even while considering the risk involved looking forward with M.B. I'd suggest not moving him for that. Hold on and be patient. Unless of course you are a big fan of T.M. I am not. I also think it quite likely that absolutely nothing comes from the two 3rd round rookie picks.

If I had him and roster spot wasn't critical, I'd keep him till next off season hype. At which pointt sell for high first or low second. That's even if he is reinstated. I wouldn't give a second for him now. I'm in camp that if he gets reinstated, it will happen again. Just a matter of time.

MB just went for 2.3 in my league

I get this line of thinking, but how big of rosters do you need before you don't miss the slot? A lot of people like to compare this situation to Josh Gordon, and that's understandable. But seriously, 2013 was a REALLY long time ago. Maybe Gordon gets reinstated, maybe not. The Commish is taking his sweet time in letting the world know one way or the other. And if/when he does come back, what will his numbers look like? Many owners believe that JG is going to ball-out and be the same player he was years ago and it may or may not work out that way.

I simply imagine all the players that one could have kept over Gordon, or players that could have been drafted/pulled off waivers instead of tying up a roster spot with an individual that's guaranteed to get you a "0" week after week. Not to mention players that you did cut/trade/neglect to pick up from the wire because one's hands were tied by Josh Gordon taking up that spot on your team.

It seems to me that Martavis' use of marijuana may not be the problem, but a symptom. If his agent is credible, Bryant is battling depression and getting high seems to help him through his rough patches. For many occupations that would be just fine, but not so in the NFL. So maybe rehab helps Bryant find better ways to deal with his demons, or maybe there's something pharmaceutical that can get his mood regulated and allow him to pass a drug test. Let's hope so for his sake.

But in the meantime I'll be drafting players, making trades, and picking guys up on waivers to fill my team and maybe one of them becomes that late 1st/early 2nd that I could possibly get for Bryant in trade if/when he's back from suspension. That's why I was happy to deal him for a 2nd rounder when his 4-game punishment was announced last summer. I wish it could have worked out for him on my team, but I've got no room on the roster for a player who's not even in the league, and may never be again.

(I also realize from your post that you're not a long-term believer Sixx. I'm just commenting on the idea of holding Bryant and hoping to cash-in down the road)

I can almost beat that...somebody just offered him to me for the 1.3 rookie pick. Seriously.

What do people feel the chances are that Martavis Bryant is reinstated for the start of next season?

Good chance. People will say blah blah another delusional owner but the NFL wants these flashy playmakers in the league. The NFL needs guys like Gordon and Bryant and Bell. He may not be a Steeler for long but if he is clean, he plays

He was dropped in my 16-keeper league.

I have #1 waiver priority - and it doesn't reset weekly so I would be at the end of the list.

Would you use it in him?

Without knowing the specifics of your league, no doubt I would claim him
