Martavis Bryant Suspension

[Bomm Bastic]

So Bryant couldn't make it to May w/out another violation. Of course, it's not an appeal w/out a trip to rehab

Pro Football talk had this to say:

t was widely reported last August that the NFL suspended Steelers receiver Martavis Bryant because he failed multiple marijuana tests. His latest predicament suggests a violation for something other than a positive marijuana test.

The three possibilities are: (1) a positive test for something other than marijuana; (2) failure to cooperate with testing, treatment, evaluation or other requirements under the policy or failure to cooperate with the terms of his treatment plan; or (3) at least two separate positive marijuana tests.

Unreal....

When will this guy ever learn?? He is such a talent on the field, but also such a disaster off it..

Apparently he suffers from depression and that's what he is going to be treated for. I hope this guy gets things right because he's a great talent.

In a dynasty league....say 12-14 team, considering this 2016 draft class, would you buy/sell Bryant for a mid-low second rounder?

Yes. I think there's relatively good chance Martavis never plays another down of football, and an even better chance he never plays another snap for Pittsburgh. How good is Martavis on a different team?

Would you sell him for a second? Or just buy? I'm just curious cuz I made a move similar and the owner turned me down. Now I own Josh Gordon' stashed him for the past year+, and my thinking is this other owner is looking at Gordon (assuming he does indeed return to his full potential) and sees him as the rule not the exception. I guess my point is what are the odds an enigmatic, highly talented yet underachieving kid can make it a year+ away from the game?

Sorry....just thinking out loud here. I have no real point other than trying to get a feel for the community's perspective. I would absolutely buy him for a mid second this year. Boy it would be tough to sell him despite the odds of a successful return.



EDIT: I just re-read your post RT...I get it.

I would sell him for a second, I absolutely would not buy him for a second. Sorry for the confusion. Josh Gordon was worth holding because he was the #1 WR in the football in 14 games and almost broke Calvin's record with Josh McCown. Outside of that, I wouldn't even have bothered holding him.

Agreed.Glad I kept my second rounder.

I would absolutely be buying for a 2nd rounder. Small price to pay for what could be a big payoff in 2017.

I keep flipping on this, but I think ultimately I would hold for now, see how the NFL draft plays out, then on fantasy draft day see what falls to 2.3 - 2.7 range then buy/sell at that point if my target players are no longer on the board.
