2017 #YFDynasty League (NFL)
and most importantly a revitalised Julius Thomas who is going for 75/900/12 this season...!
In Madden maybe.
NFL Newswire August 8th
Quincy Enunwa (WR, FAIR) - is on IR with neck injury.
Ezekiel Elliot (RB, RMTC) - Suspension on the way, expected this week, rumours are trending upwards, previously thought to be 1 game, some are now mentioning as many as 4. Is taking into account all of his off-field behaviour.
Jarvis Landry (WR, SWRL) - Investigation into battery of his former girlfriend. There are two statements out there from her, the first one is the affidavit from the time it happened saying it was a verbal argument and he never touched her, and one from today asking that the false stories stop being spread.
George Kittle (TE, FA) - Kittle has missed five days with hamstring injuries
Josh Doctson (WR, LOHA) - Has a hamstring pull, is listed as day-to-day
Latavius Murray (RB, LOHA) - Has been taken off the PUP list, will now compete with Dalvin Cook openly.
Jordan Matthews (WR, GAUL) - Is losing pace with the competition for the slot role he had last season, with Torrey Smith & Alshon Jeffrey outside it leaves Matthews & Agholor (FA) fighting out the slot role.
Tavon Austin (WR, IR) - Has missed the last 5 days of camp with a hamstring injury
Devonta Freeman (RB, USOS) - Signs a 5 year extension with Falcons,
fairly lengthy deal that, Highest paid RB in the league now
fairly lengthy deal that, Highest paid RB in the league now
Until Lev Bell signs his Franchise Tag.
Ezekiel Elliot (RB, RMTC) - Suspension is in, 6 games, won't return until Week 8.
Just been the equivalent of a three way trade in the NFL...basically for us this is what matters:
Jordan Matthews (WR, GAUL) - Traded to the Bills
Sammy Watkins (WR, NUCK) - Traded to the Rams
Wow quite a bit happened yesterday. Beervana ruled the day for me so just catching up now.
As a Bills fan I like the trades with getting extra draft picks. Will pretty much be a write off this year (but was likely going to be anyway).
Surprised with the length of the Elliott suspension, but might come down a game or two on appeal.
haha Watkins, - Woods back under Watkins on the depth chart again...
Ryan Kelly (C) - So we don't normally care about OLine injuries, but this one is huge, the center for Andrew Luck is going to miss at least part of the season, possible IR for return, given his back-up is already on PUP this is bad news for Luck with his injuries already.
Hey Jono, any changes to the ADPs by team, or won't see that until after pre-season etc?

Update: The Bills have come out and denied this, but they did exactly the same just days before trading Watkins away.
good time to be a Bills fan.... looking at that roster I'd say they're making a run at the Browns for worst team ever
Will still beat the JETS JETS JETS.
At least the Bills appear to have the right way of doing it, getting future picks and possible pieces (Even though they did give up two good young players in the moves), the Jets have got NOTHING!
Blake Bortles (QB, RMTC) - Has been benched for the third preseason game, Chad Henne has got the start.
Donte Moncrief (WR, VAM) - Has been dealing with an AC Joint issue, is expected back Week 1, but still no contact at practice
Devonta Freeman (RB, USOS) - Will miss the 3rd Preseason game with a concussion, will be hoping this doesn't linger.
Mitchell Trubisky (QB, FAIR) - The rookie has been getting some first team reps this week.
Brock Osweiller (QB, VAM) - Brock is back on the trade block again, given this development I could see him being cut with Kessler/Kizer keeping the jobs.
Deshone Kizer (QB, AY) - Will get the start in the 3rd Preseason game, looks to be the favourite of the rookies to start Week 1.
Devontae Booker (RB, IR) - Is hoping to be ready for week 3 vs Bills, would be irrelevant for Fantasy unless CJ Anderson is injured.
James Conner (RB, NP) - Appears to be behind Toussaint in the Steelers depth chart, will likely get some play this season and a challenge next year for the job if Bell leaves.
Jordan Reed (TE, NUCK) - First tiome this preseason we have seen Reed on the field for practice, is slowly progressing with his toe injury.
Jordan Matthews (WR, GAUL) - Is back in individual drills this week, is a good sign for his Week 1 status.
Allen Hurns (WR, USOS) - Hurns looks to be on trade block with Jags sahopping him, could get some game time late this week to show what he can do.
Julian Edelman (WR, IR) - Left the game with a knee injury, given the way it went I'd say MCL, but no call on severity
Spencer Ware (RB, FAIR) - Left the game with a knee injury, was running towards a defender and then fell clutching his knee, likely ACL tear, probably gone for the season.
Hunt..Hunt..Hunt..Hunt..WOOOOOOOOOPPPPPPPP
Julian Edelman (WR, IR) - Left the game with a knee injury, given the way it went I'd say MCL, but no call on severity
Spencer Ware (RB, FAIR) - Left the game with a knee injury, was running towards a defender and then fell clutching his knee, likely ACL tear, probably gone for the season.
Edelman is now likely gone for season with a torn ACL, while Chiefs are saying Ware is a PCL "strain" aka small tear, this is generally 2-3 months.
FFS. IR cursed indeed.
Final Updates:
Julian Edelman (WR,IR) - Out for the season with a torn ACL
Spencer Ware (RB, FAIR) - Will miss 2-8 weeks with a "sprained" MCL (Remember in most cases a sprain in these knee ligaments is actually a partial tear, very easy to reinjure - See: Tannehill, Ryan),
Kareem Hunt (RB, NUCK) - Has been named the starting RB with the injury to Spencer Ware, question now is whether it is likely Ware can get the job back when he returns.
Patriots Receivers (WR,TE) - So this position gets messy with the injury to Edelman, Hogan would be the first guess as he played a lot of slot last season, Gronk sees a small bump, Cooks might get slightly more targets, James White/Dion Lewis over the middle, but also is Austin Carr (Who would've been Practice Squad, but will make the 53 now), Dwayne Allen & Danny Amendola ar both looking like missing the 53 at this stage, so no bump there either. With Hogan possibly moving inside Malcolm Mitchell could be the wide guy in 3 WR sets.
Will be a huge series of News Dumps tonight, I'll do a post at some point later on after all the dust clears
Roster cuts starting to come in, will also see waivers Monday (about 4am NZ Time), and then more cuts as they have to be down to 53 players by Monday 8am NZ Time
Also Suspension News: Zeke (Court) & Bryant (Re-instated), and confirmation of players to IR finally.
In the News
Ezekiel Elliot (RB, RMTC) - Appeal still in progress with the NFL, but NFLPA has already filed an injunction against any punishment, they want all suspensions postponed til the end of any legal proceedings. There is a claim of a conspiracy to cover up evidence of his innocence, this would be their only case as the issue of whether Goodell has the right to pass down suspensions was already tested with Tom Brady, I'd guess now that he will end up serving 3-4 games to start the 2018 season, with a change from a permanent ban on next offence to a season long ban.
Martavis Bryant (WR, IR) - Bryant has been reinstated by the NFL, now this means he can play in the regular season, but as per Josh Gordon, one more slip and he'll be done.
Andrew Luck (QB, USOS) - He is slipping slowly through, team has not put him on IR, so his injury will see him miss less than EIGHT games, but he will definitely be out Week 1, given the dodging of questions about him, I would suggest 3-4 weeks missed.
Tim Hightower (RB, NUCK) - Hightower has been cut by the 49ers
Cody Latimer (WR, FAIR) - Is going to be cut or traded by the Broncos.
Jermaine Kearse (WR, LOHA) - Has been traded by the Seahawks to the Jets for Sheldon Richardson (Hawks also give up a conditional pick 2/3rd round)
Paxton Lynch (QB, AY) - Will miss 2-4 weeks with his shoulder injury.
Greg Olsen (TE, FAIR) - Has had a $2m incentives package added to his 2017 contract, he wanted an extension, but Panthers didn't want to sign him to anything past 2018.
Tyrod Taylor (QB, NUCK) - Is still in concussion protocol, the Bills are hoping he is ready for Week 1, if not he will be replaced by Nathan Peterman.
Matt Forte (RB, AY) - Appears to be on roster bubble at Jets, they have attempted to trade, probably can't get rid of him with a $4m contract, is also a $5m cap hit if they release him, could be a tough one for them.
C.J. Fiedorowicz (TE, NP) - Has been signed to a 3 year $21.5m extension, this takes him through til 2020, will make him their #1 TE for time to come.
DeAndre Hopkins (WR, IR) - Texans signed Hopkims to a 5yr $81m extension through 2022, massive deal, and keeps him around for a long time in the same place.
John Ross (WR, NP) - Had a knee injury in the final game, will miss 3-4 weeks, was already struggling to make the starting line-up as he couldn't get past LaFell as the 'speed' guy, AJ Green other side, and Boyd in the slot.
Corey Davis (WR, GAUL) - The rookie WR will be ready for Week 1, has been dealing with a hamstring injury all offseason
Joe Williams (RB, RMTC) - He appears to have fallen to 3rd on depth chart behind Matt Brieda (UDFA), especially with the fumbling issues he has had this preseason
Marcus Wheaton (WR, FA) - Wheaton had a chance at competing for the #1 spot in Chicago with the loss of Meredith, but his finger injury is now stretching on, will miss Week 1, and possibly Week 2 as well, helps Kevin White & Kendall Wright, but look to Bears signing a WR this weekend.
Le'Veon Bell (RB, RMTC) - Turned up to Pittsburgh today and signed a 1 year $12.12m deal, he will be a Free Agent next year, unless the Steelers want to tag him again ($14.54m), will be good wherever he goes. Steelers must be happy with him as they released Fitzgerald Toussient who had looked good in Preseason.
Doug Baldwin (WR, IR) - The Seahawks have restructured Baldwin's contract turning 6.975m into a signing bonus which clears $5.2m in cap room for 2017 (This is the cap room needed for Sheldon Richardson from the Kearse trade)
Juwan Thompson (RB, SWRL) - The Broncos have released Juwan, this would mean De'Angelo Henderson makes the team, Jamaal Charles' spot on the roster still up in the air.
Kerwynn Williams (RB, FA) - With the release of Chris Johnson, Williams has won the back-up job in Arizona.
Kenneth Dixon (RB, IR) - Has been put on season-ending IR, no surprise here, but the roster move finally made.
Brock Osweiler (QB, VAM) - Has been released from Browns, they are going with Kizer & Kessler.
Victor Cruz (WR, SWRL) - Is out, released by the Bears, career likely over as he couldn't even stick with the injury to Meredith
Willie Snead (WR, MET) - Has been suspended 3 games fr Substance Abuse, this relates to a DUI in the offseason, appeal already processed dropping it from 4 games, the strange thing is that no one has reported this earlier, explains the Saints lining up with Michael Thomas/Ted Ginn in 2WR sets, Snead may have a fight to get his job back after the suspension
Right that is the first big dump of news, a lot more to come I am sure.
Cuts Continue
Jeremy McNichols (RB, FA) - Has been cut by the Buccs
Matt Jones (RB, USOS) - Has been cut by the Redskins
Sammie Coates (WR, MET) - Has been traded to the Browns (They gave a 2018 6th & received a 2019 7th)
Tajae Sharpe (WR, FA) - Has been placed on IR by the Titnas
Alex Collins (RB, FA) - Has been cut by the Seahawks
Mostly depth moves at this point, but Collins cut means Carson won a roster spot, Sammie Coates move means Eli Rogers will keep his roster spot, might hurt Rashard Higgins on Cleveland though. McNichols cut probably the biggest surprise, means Martin, JizzRod, Sims will be their RB corps.
Phillip Dorsett (WR, GAUL) - has been traded to the Patriots for Jacoby Brissett, would guess that means Luck out multiple weeks, but also an interesting move on the Pats end. Possible Edelman replacement?
Joe Williams (RB, RMTC) - Has been placed on IR, leaves 49ers RBs as Hyde, Breida & Mostert
Mike Williams (WR, IR) - Will be removed from PUP and on the active roster
CJ. Spiller (RB, FA) - Released by Chiefs, with Ware on IR this leaves just Kareem Hunt & Charcandrick West as RBs on roster
Donnel Pumphrey (RB, VAM) - Has been kept on roster by the Eagles, talks they may try to IR him. currently 5 RBs on roster: Blount, Sproles, Smallwood, Clement & Pumphrey.
Andrew Luck (QB, USOS) - Removed from PUP list, away goes the 8 missed games chance, still no word on when he'll be back.
Shaun Draughn (RB, MET) - Has been released by the Giants
Brock Oswieler (QB, VAM) - Ha sbeen signed by the Broncos
Carlos Henderson (WR, RMTC) - Has been placed on IR
Elijah Hood (RB, NUCK) - Was waived by the Raiders, likely goes to practice squad.

Austin Carr (WR, FA) - Formerly of Patriots has been claimed by the Saints
Kasen Williams (WR, FA) - Formerly of the Seahawks has been added by the Browns
Jeremy McNichols (RB, FA) - Passed through waivers without being claimed, for a hyped prospect this is career killing
Jonathan Williams (RB, FAIR) - Has been CUT by the Bills, will go to waivers
Rashard Higgins (WR - FA) - Has been cut by the Browns
Jeremy Langford (RB, FA) - Has been cut by the Bears, would guess this means Tarik Cohen has got the back-up job.
wow some surprising cuts there, thought Jonathan Williams was a lock for shady's cuff...!

Court hearing still continuing, but single ruling has leaked that because the appeal not completed by 4pm Tues that he cannot be suspended Week 1
Gives him and the NFLPA an extra week to go through the courts I guess?
