dudewithabadcat 1,078 Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Rather him get through this whole season. Worse case scenario, get me through this bye week and I will drop him for Rod Smith. Let's see all that happens though. This is a super messy legal situation now.

Savatage79 2,427 Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 I think they just need to just let the kid finish the season as I mean hes played half of it already and then just handle this bs off season and if it comes to suspension just get it done next year. Because this on and off again makes me feel like Daniel son. Elliot on, elliot off, elliot on, elliot off Quote Link to post Share on other sites
frog34 982 Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Rooting for Zeke like crazy in recent months for the sake of my fantasy team, and now rooting against him. Really need him for weeks 15-16. If he gets to play week 9, I may not even make it through week 15 since my RBs other than Zeke suck. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cousinal111 214 Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 30 for 30 hopefully picked 10 fantasy Owners to follow & document the past 2 months & the impact Zeke's domestic violence has had on the fantasy football world. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Panthor 813 Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 16 hours ago, gufomel said: You contrasted it with things like rape and said he’s only getting suspended 6 games as if a 6 game suspension isn’t a big deal or indicating that what he’s accused of isn’t a big deal. I agree that impact on HoF is going too far. It’s only one of the many things I listed. No s--- stats are quantifiable. But they aren’t monetarily quantifiable. He can’t be repaid the stats (either in actual stats or monetarily) should it be determined after he serves his suspension that the suspension was actually incorrectly handed out. Brand value - how are you going to determine how many endorsements he misses out on as a result of the suspension (not just endorsements he loses now, but how many don’t endorse him throughout the remainder of his career)? you miss the context, because i was specifically addressing someone's mention of molestation. yes it is monetarily quantifiable. if by some stroke of luck he actually wins the appeal, they will be going for his back pay, as far as i know he isn't getting paid by the yard or by the carry. as for his next contract, it won't be his performance on the field that keeps him from getting top dollar, it will be the fact that he gets himself into these situations. not that he was suspended and missed 6 games but that he makes bad decisions and puts himself in jeapordy. but even that may not be the case because he is such an elite talent. and as far as just damages go, a lawyer can easily make the argument that here is the amount of money he lost out on, but simply extrapolating this season, projected stats, past performance and come up with a number. brand value - i don't know how the lawyers are going to do it, but i'm sure they have their formulas to come up with a number.

vthokie3 1,371 Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 nothing changes unless a judge comes in today or tomorrow and grants a stay ( this circuit is usually off Thurs/Fri). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tonycpsu 5,252 Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 [A couple of comments removed. @t8ertot, welcome to the forums -- this thread is for discussing Zeke as a player, not what you should do with him in your situation. Questions like that belong in the Assistant Coach forum. Thanks.] Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pooskay 807 Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 I like Zeke. Zeke good player Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SadFaceHappy 2,049 Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 I'm finally at peace with him being out 6 games and coming back for playoffs. (FWIW: 6-2 with Kamara, Hunt, Woodhead, yadda, yadda, yadda at RB) I just want him to do the 6 and bring some resolution. It's selfish. Zeke, I'm guessing, would rather fight to defend his rep and I can't blame him for that. BTW, Papa John pulled advertising and blamed "bad leadership" on conference call with NFL. Repeatedly stressed importance of leadership and clearly implied Roger was the reason (specifically his handling of the kneeling situation). Roger looks likely to get canned Quote Link to post Share on other sites

1972Miamidolphins 1,374 Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Wouldnt be bad to serve a week suspension before a reinstatement, atleast ud get a sneak peak if its team alf or team dmc with no zeke, or team smith too, or team all Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They're huge in the sports world. They're also terrible as far as pizza is concerned. 45 minutes ago, 1972Miamidolphins said: Wouldnt be bad to serve a week suspension before a reinstatement, atleast ud get a sneak peak if its team alf or team dmc with no zeke, or team smith too, or team all As a Chiefs fan, I would be fine with this.

bgar15 521 Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 I'm 7-1 and recently traded some depth for Zeke to load up for the playoff run. Didn't take much either honestly - low risk move for those who are shoe-ins for the playoff hunt/bye week. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Really hope that Zeke doesn't play just one more week, if his 1st week back is week 16 he won't help much unless you get to the championship/semis without him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Finally Detroit Wins 666 Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 (edited) Kinda pissing me off that he can possibly miss the fantasy playoffs after possibly taking my team there but i’ll take the 20 points...
