    Default Looming Zeke Elliott Suspension

    We have the general preseason news and notes thread, but I thought this deserved its own given the significance of the potential fantasy ramifications.

    Sounds more and more that not only is a suspension likely for Zeke, but it could be a fairly significant one:

    It may come Friday, it could be bumped into next week. Regardless of the timing, the prevailing view in league circles is that Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott will be suspended under the Personal Conduct Policy.
    One league source characterized an Elliott suspension as ?definite.? The specific duration of the suspension isn?t known, however.
    http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com...sion-expected/

    "Multiple sources" have told NFL Network's Jane Slater that Ezekiel Elliott's suspension will be "closer" to or at six games.
    Slater's colleague, Ian Rapoport, reports the "benchmark" is six games, which is standard for all domestic violence cases. It could be more or could be less, so this really doesn't give us much at the moment. However, an announcement from the league is expected to come down the chute on Friday. Six games would be a big blow to Elliott's fantasy stock. Darren McFadden would figure to be next in line, though Alfred Morris looked like the far superior back in the preseason opener.

    Wow... this shakes things up in the first round. My guess is that if it is 4 games or less he is still drafted in the first round... just like Bell the year he was suspended for 4...

    Anything more than 4 games and I think he slips out of the first round... wow... football is such a crazy fantasy sport with all the stuff that goes on... I love it!

    Even if he misses the first four games he still has to be a 1st rnd pick, doesn't he? You may struggle early on but come fantasy playoffs you have him.

    I remember last year when Bell missed the first four games and he came back with a vengeance.

    Four games, yeah I think he probably is. Longer than 4 games, and that's really tough.

    Not only are you looking at nearly half the season without him and perhaps putting a dent in your playoff hopes to begin with, but you'd also have to navigate other injuries and bye weeks with Elliott burning up a bench spot. Not impossible, but not a given that it can be done either.

    L. Bell was a 2nd round pick last yr in most 1yr leagues. 4games is the equivalent of getting suspended 20games in the NHL, it's a big chunk for a top pick.

    Look at how I did in the Dobber league with picking Bell in the 2nd round and how another player could have really helped me get into the playoffs.

    Prolly will appeal and goes to 4. 6 is the NFL determined for domestic abuse but they can go up or down depending on circumstances, but Elliot hasn't been charged so that's why i think he appeals and it goes to 4.

    I would still take him if I'm drafting late in the batting order...and then take another top RB with my second pick and hope to weather the 6 games early on.

    So kinda looks like it's heading down Brady Suspension territory. He can start his suspension whenever, but he's likely going to play week 1 and he also has his hearing to appeal his restraining order against the suspension on Friday i think, so that will shed light on when he starts his suspension somehow.

    Really feels like he's going to push to go all yr without the suspension.

    Hearing on the TRO was yesterday, decision expected by Friday close of business.

    So he's in for Week 1. But Week 2 and beyond is still a total crap shoot.
