He isn't/wasn't.

check the date on that, July 25. Like I said, I am going off of last night where Battle had 2 carries for -1 yards. Brinkley did a lot more than that

It's roto. They aren't perfect as no one is but honestly, if that's the last they have on him, I'm rolling with that. Not to mention that was only 2 weeks ago...

Valid point. I am just going based on how they performed last night. He will at least be on the team for the first two weeks

Sounds like he for sure will now. I grabbed Brown in my deeper dynasty league. Almost grabbed Brinkley until I saw the roto on him. Decided against it since I couldn't justify dropping someone else for him. Sounds like Mathews break wasn't that bad afterall going by reports today. I wouldn't so much be worried about this single incident more than the fact that this dude seems to shatter when he gets sneezed on.

But who am I to judge? I'm a DMC fan and have been drafting him heavily in mocks this season. I think this is the season for him. Who knows... I will say without hesitation that I'd take DMC over Mathews everytime regardless of bias.

if it makes you feel any better, I did throw in cash with it

I was actually gonna use that as my entry if I made it in the league until I traded it lol

Hahah yes you did and I don't mind it as much as how much I traded for the five star. That's the one that hurts hahahahah

I have been getting him as well. Mid 2nd round pick is not bad for his potential

The sky is the limit on him... people are just scared to pull the trigger and rightfully so. High risk... but HUUUGGEEE reward...

I picked him first round last year in my big money league and he was a monster early. With the vulture in Chicago now, I wouldn't hesitate to grab him early again. Glutton for punishment maybe, but like you said, the reward is through the roof.

I'm right there with you. I grabbed him in my Dynasty draft last season. Luckily I also drafted Bush so the pain was lessened. But now I'm looking at McCoy and DMC as my 2 RB's this season and just foaming at the mouth thinking about the possibilities. Good luck with your DMC!!

Bump! Two weeks until we draft!

[yankeesfan24]

pumped for this draft. also have one tonight in a few hours

[tolrobb]

do any of you have AOL instant messenger?

[tolrobb]

hey guys, i think it would be cool and really help with trade talk, league talk, etc. if we all were on AIM and had each other linked up on our buddy lists throughout the season (and hopefully beyond). we could even have something like a pre-draft chat room set up a couple hours before the draft so we can get the smack talk off on the right foot.

[yankeesfan24]

1. Tom Brady
2. Jamaal Charles
3. Fred Jackson

Aol? Not a fan at all, so old and bloated with spyware don't want to use that. if you want old school what about mirc? Doubt anyone knows what that is but its been around for 20 year lol Sorry security manager in me speaking now nothing personal. I would suggest using facebook instead. The idea of a chat room is solid and think we should do that. What do you think?

Yeah I remember all that. I had AOL and MIRC when it first came out. There was only a couple of chat rooms at the time. Crazy. I thought it was so amazing I can talk to someone thousands of miles away on a computer.

[tolrobb]

sorry, it's not really referred to as AOL anymore, force of habit. It's a lot different than it was back in the day and very user friendly. check it out.

AIM | Chat, Share, Connect

[yankeesfan24]

just signed up. no freaking idea on how to use it though

super easy to use, what's your user name? a lot of the guys from the group formerly known as BRAD are on AIM.
