Leonard Fournette's appeal of his one-game suspension was denied, and he's out for Week 13 against the Colts.

Hope he does more for you than he did for me. I drafted his worthless ass.
Josh Adams has been a nice fill in.

He's just a flex, Elliott and Lindsay are my RB's, rolling with Thielen and Reynolds at WR this week.

Sure glad I didn't.

Same. Although I’m going with Ekeler if Gordon is ruled out, to go with Hunt and Mixon.

[imsounoriginal]

They need to sit Gordon regardless, gotta think playoffs at this point.

He’s not getting big numbers this weekend, guaranteed he will be double covered all day.

It's...very hard to double from the slot because of how many angles you can release from. Diggs is more likely to be the victim of the doubles than Thielen is.

I wouldn't play Hyde, not if Yeldon is healthy as he has already shown to be the clear #2.

Yeldon is playing as the number 2 not Hyde

[imsounoriginal]

I thought I read Hyde was gonna be #2? That's why I didn't pick up Yeldon in my league even though he's available.

The Redskins said in their statement about picking up Reuben Foster that they spoke with his former college teammates and they supported Foster. Both Ha-Ha Clinton-Dix and Jonathan Allen, who played with Foster at Alabama, said nobody from the organization discussed Foster with them. Clinton-Dix and Allen aren't the only Redskins players who were Foster's teammates so it's possible they went to other players, but if you're considering picking up a player with a very checkered past you'd think you'd consult with everyone.

[imsounoriginal]

Terrible look for the Skins. Several of the 'Bama players said "no comment" when asked by reporters about it today. Of course the whole reason Snyder/Allen/etc. said they consulted with 'Bama players was to deflect the media towards the locker room rather than the front office. But the radio made a good point today, which is that now all non-'Bama players in the locker room look like second-class citizens. Because apparently the Skins only care about your opinion on player acquisitions if you come from a certain school. (And frankly, the front office going to the locker room in general to ask for opinions on potential acquisitions is asinine unless you're a franchise QB or someone of that ilk.)

Reportedly, only the Eagles called the Tampa PD to inquire about the Foster case. That means Washington signed him without bothering to ask any questions.

But theres the flaw in your argument. 7 Losing seasons from 2008 onward, a losing season is defined as below .500 meaning the 6-10 and 7-9 mediocre seasons are just that losing seasons.

It's in the past! That's like the constant reminder of Sanchez's butt fumble, or Cleveland, or whoever knows what else - it's way beyond beating a dead horse. It's old, it's irritating, and it came from a fan of a team that hasn't had any success besides last year. Unfortunate, as it may be, they are my team, and I will defend them against false statements. Perennial doormat of the past, yes, but I'm just saying that statement can't really be said of the Lions post 2008. Everyone can have their own perception, but that's reality. This year looks bad when looking at the record, but they've beaten some good teams. Coach's first year, change of team culture, but we have great front office and definitely going the right direction. And though we didn't win, the truth is playoffs last 3 out of 4 years, isn't doormat material. Give us some respect I can say the same baseless statement about Philadelphia, or Pittsburgh even (far stretch), because they have all those wins and divisions, but no recent hardware to show for it (aside from last year's miracle win).

The Lions were a 9-7 team last year and I quote Bob Quinn here 9-7 is not good enough which is why Caldwell was fired. Patricia has made some dumbass statements and the same if not worse dumbass clock management then Caldwell has done. The team has been ill prepared for every aspect and every game they have played.

Who have the Lions legit beat this year besides the Patriots

Green Bay - 5 missed field goals game was handed to them

Carolina - Really do not even go there the coach for Carolina handed Detroit that game by being a bonehead and going for the win instead of the tie. Lions had no business winning that game.

Dolphins - sorry but the Dolphins are a crap team it was all smoke and mirrors and a hot start.

They lost the games that counted this year when it really mattered as always

Seattle - They choked when they could have proven their worth they choked.

Jets and Niners - How can you defend those losses the Lions looked like crap and played like crap

Dallas - Elliot is still running

Vikings - Another poor ass performance

Chicago - This loss is purely on Stafford and rather then telling the media and public Stafford cant make these mistakes and has to be better he put Stafford on a pedestal of he can do no wrong. The Lions have done nothing but enable Stafford for 10 damn years.

In fact, I've been pretty civil with just about everyone here this season, aside from the one usual suspect. My take.

I have no comment on this as I was simply pointing out the record and flaw in your argument. Its a discussion that's all.

IMO, Yeldon has more upside if you play PPR. If not it’s a complete toss up. There’s always the chance Indy goes up early and Jax is playing from behind which might lead to more pass plays.
I don’t think I’d have either in my Top20(10 team) or Top24(12 team).

This weekend will be Suh's first game back in Detroit.

[imsounoriginal]

Oh wow, did he never play them when he was a Dolphin or he just never played em in Detroit?

[ChadFL]

Initially I thought this Foster nonsense on the part of Washington was all Snyder. But it's looking like the idiocy is spread around in their front office. Doug Williams is referring to the allegations against Foster as "small potatoes."

“We’ve got people who are in high,*high,*high, high*places that have done far worse, and if you look at it realistically, they’re still up there. This is small potatoes [compared to] a lot of things out there. But at the same time it’s a big issue in America today, whether or not it’s in football, whether or not it’s in everyday life, whether or not it’s in politics, it’s out there.”
