Vincent Jackson might not play this year.
He had until yesterday to sign his tender... he didn't sign so the Chargers put him on 3 game inactive list... then when he gets back he has sit out 3 games because he's suspended by the league for misbehavior. So he's at the very least going to miss the first 6 games. Then if he doesn't sign his tender still he won't play the rest of the season....

in a nutshell, when the waiver period opens, you are the first to pick up on any dropped players. Are undrafted players up for grabs? Of course.
Waiver wire is based off of record first, then points scored. So your WW position will have changed by the end of week 1, when the WW opens (unless you lose and score the fewest points).

At this point, I'd take Housh over Jackson. You can acquire Housh for very low money for at least one season (because Seattle HAS to pay him 6.5 mil this year, regardless of whether or not he gets signed by another team). And his release has been made official, too. I don't think he ever saw this coming last season. From the most sought after FA on the market, to a guy looking for a job in less than a year.
The closer the draft gets (19 hrs), the more nervous I'm getting. I'm ~60% on CJ, 35% on AP, and then part of me says to pick MJD because he's so damn consistent.

Jackson will play this year, to not play would be stupid. I believe he has to come back for week 10 (but maybe after week 10, I can't remember) for it to count towards his years of service. If he sits out the whole year he'll be in the same situation next pre-season as he is this preseason. If he comes back for week 10, he's a free agent next year.
Anyway reports are he's worked out a contract extention with another team and is waiting for the Charges to agree to a trade with this other team.

Jackson's two 3-game suspensions can be served concurrently if I remember correctly, so he'll only miss 3 games if he signs/gets traded.

I'm a bit worried about MJD. He's always been super consistent, but he hasn't been doing ANY football related activities in the past week. I can understand not playing in a preseason game, but not even running a bit in practice? That worries me a little.

I don't particularly want MJD to be seriously hurt, but I wish he underproduces in week 1 cuz my opponent has him. lol

Jackson only has 1 3-game suspension. The other three games are because the chargers put him on the roster exempt list. Apparently if he gets traded the NFLPA will try to get him off that list, so he'd only sit 3 games.

The team announced the agreement in principle early Monday morning, but they didn't release contract terms. However, The New York Daily News cited a source in reporting that Revis received a seven-year deal that can be voided to a four-year, $46 million pact with $32 million guaranteed.
Still gunning for Asamougha #1.

Mojo is the man. But I just wanted to say that the Bengals apparently want to get worse as a team, because they let the Jags dump Reggie Nelson on them and gave us a player and a pick. Sorry Bengal fans, if your franchise picks up a guy like Nelson you know you aren't gonna be doing anything for a while with that GM at the helm.

Yeah, that's what I was talking about. I heard the trade talks kinda died, so I'm not really expecting him to be traded.
It's likely if he's traded he'll only sit 3 games. But if he's with the Chargers he'll likely be sitting 3 from the chargers and then 3 from the suspension. He'll haev to come back week 10 to get free agency, BUT even then would the Chargers play him?
AJ Smith/Norv Turner combo may not even want to play him for holding out like that. That's why if he's not traded which it's looking like he might not even play. Sure he'll come back/sign for week 10 so he can get to free agency, but he might not play at all for them (unless they REALLY need him to make the playoffs).

Ehhh, well, the surgery rumors are unfounded. It's pretty clear he didn't have arthroscopic 2 weeks ago when that rumor started going around because arthroscopic is at least 4-6 weeks recover time minimum if not more.
Sore knee he'll likely play. They're PROBABLY saying his "injury" is worse than it really is to conceal whether they'll be playing him. A lot of teh teams in the NFL like to do this with their PUP lists and such.
Heck, people were saying McNabb and Haynesworth might not play vs. Dallas... ya really think they won't? Of course, they're going to play. They'd be foolish not to play them if the goal is to win.

Well sure, if you want to think logically about MJD that all makes sense. However, in the mind of a fantasy football player, the slightest doubts will grow like a cancer inside their tormented mind. The word "injury" sends shivers down the spine.
And yeah i agree on the Redskins thing. I'm not sure about Haynesworth I haven't read about that, but honestly, McNabb OF COURSE will play vs the Cowboys. The man's been in the NFC East his whole career, he would play vs the cowboys if he was in a fully body cast.

The reports are that Haynesworth will not start against the Cowboys because of how awfully he played in preseason. This is the exact reason that the Titans didn't pay for him.

Drafting right now. Moved from #1 to #9. (The complete roster is at the bottom, I just wanted somewhere to put my thoughts as I drafted.)
So far I have SJax, and Reggie Wayne. Calvin Johnson in the third.
Shonn Green went pick 13 with Mendenhall, Grant, AJ, Wayne, Moss all on the board. Ryan Matthews went end of the second round. .
More to come.
I'm hoping to nab Dallas Clark in the fourth. There isn't much consistent talent left at HB, but I'm crossing my fingers that JStew will fall another 20 picks or so, so I can use him as my 2nd HB. If not, I might roll the dice on Donald Brown.
So Clark was taken two picks before me, grabbed JStew instead. I'm hoping now that Owen Daniels will fall to me, because he's going to murder this season again (and hopefully not get injured). I still don't have a QB, but Favor is the only one worth a damn that's left. It's like the people in my league are reading this. Owen Daniels taken five picks before me. Fuck. This run on TE's is murdering me. Gonzalez is gone, Witten, Finley, VD, Clark, Daniels... fuck fuck fuck.
So with all my TE hopefuls gone, I took BRIT FARRRRRRR in the sixth (fifth? idk what round I'm in). So I took Kellen Winslow in the sixth (guess Favor did go at 5). I'm not 100% sold on that pick, but I needed the best TE available, since the HB's that are left are sleeper-type picks, and a couple that should last (I'm expecting good things from LT this season, and he'll last, D Brown is still there, a few others that can fill the third RB role to play match ups with). There's nothing left at WR save a few sleeper-type picks... these late rounds are tough, but they're also what wins money.
So I took Michael Bush in the seventh. I'm not too hot on that pick, but I think he'll take most of the carries this season, and he's shown some promise in previous seasons. With a QB that can actually throw, he may do something because the line won't always be stacked. Thomas Jones is still out there too. It's possible that I'd take him with the next pick, he's pretty much the BPA at this point. Save for a couple of defenses, but the ones I liked are gone (GB, NYJ, and Minny). The rest of the D's are a crapshoot, imo.
Dez Bryant in the 8th. I think he's the best prospect that was left. Miami D in the 9th. They have the weakest schedule of any available team, and they had a good D last year.
I'm unsure on how to approach this next pick. I want LT or Thomas Jones here, but idk. I think I'll grab someone like TJ Housh in a later round to fill a bye week spot. Just gotta check week 7 MU's. And so I actually realized that Donald Brown was left, so I took him in round 10.
Devin Aroumashadu at 11, and Fred Jackson at 12. Hoping to land a backup QB in 13 (Matt Moore). Then idk. So I took him at 13, took Jabar Gaffney at 14, and we play with a HC so I took MIA HC at 15. Took Steve Slaton in 16, I still believe buddy... I still believe (I love the guy, he carried my ass in '08, so I'll always have some space in my heart for him).
ROFL THIS TEAM: QB Kolb, Kevin QB (PHI - 8)
RB Gore, Frank RB (SFO - 9)
RB Greene, Shonn RB (NYJ - 7)
WR Jennings, Greg WR (GNB - 10)
WR Ward, Hines WR (PIT - 5)
JUST DRAFTED ALEX SMITH! WORST TEAM EVER! ROFL! And this is a $150 buy in league. Why waste the time/money for this team?
Also, a different team with a humorous name: Somewhere, over Dwayne Bowe.
It's round 8, and two PK's have been taken. Our kicking rules inflate the value of kickers SO MUCH, that we have people reaching to ROUND FUCKING EIGHT to take them. WTF? It's a completely random spot too, even the best kickers in the league don't maintain top ten fantasy status year after year.
TL;DR my team looks like this:
QB: Bret Favor; Matt Moore (I think he's going to have a very respectable year).
HB: SJax, JStew, Michael Bush, Steve Slaton, Fred Jackson, Donald Brown.
WR: Reggie Wayne, Calvin Johnson, Dez Bryant, Devin Aromashodu, Jabar Gaffney
TE: Kellen Winslow
K: Sebastian Janikowski
DEF: Miami
HC: Tony Sporano-Miami (+2 pts for a Miami win, -2 pts for a loss... worst position ever)
I'm fairly happy with my team, and VERY happy that I got rid of the #1 pick. I'm sad that AJ isn't on my team this year. This is the first time we've been apart since 2008. : ( I feel like, yet again, I have the best WR corps of any team in my league, and I think my backfield is VERY solid. QB is a bit of a gamble, and that's bad in this league. I'm hoping Moore pans out in case Favre gets injured/sucks. TE.. Freeman beasted last year at QB, and I pretty much expect more of the same from those guys, with some good hookups leading to ~10 pts a game. Kicker, who cares? Defense, like I said, weak schedule + overall good D = picked.
The team that picked first ended up looking like this
QB: Joe Flacco
HB: Chris Johnson, CJ Spiller
WR: Roddy White, Crabtree
TE: Witten
K: Prater
DEF: Eagles
Bench:
Jason Campbell, QB
Darren Sproles, RB
Darren McFadden, RB
Tim Hightower, RB
Anthony Dixon, RB
Nate Burleson, WR
Pierre Garcon, WR
Chris Cooley, TE
That's what I hate about #1 overall. You end up with a top 5 of each position, if you're proactive enough, but then some random nobody to fill the other slot. Granted, Crabtree is a bit more than a random nobody, he's not exactly who I'd want as my #2 WR. I think he made some mistakes on his bench picks, because a lot of the guys I took (and that others took that I wanted) went after he picked guys like Dixon, Garcon, and Burleson. His bench is shit, though, imo. That was my main problem last year when I picked #1. It's really hard to build a good bench from that spot, imo. And to top things off, my starters were kicking ass last year, putting me as the top scoring team for most of the season, so I could never get a good WW spot; that is typically fine, and what you want, but it makes filling roles a pain for byes when your draft picks don't pan out. Then you start struggling for a couple of weeks, but you're still like 5 on the WW and your division win slips out of your grasp.
I changed my whole drafting mentality this year, though. I normally try to pick BPA at X position. I just went BPA, and figured that if I had to fill a spot with random garbage, I may as well get value SOMEWHERE from that pick; I figured that maybe I'd get some trade bait or something (not that anyone in this league fucking trades).

I guess I phrased that wrong. From what I remember, Jackson's 3 game suspension and his time on the inactive list can be served at the same time. Meaning if he signs/gets traded then he only misses 3 games, not 6.

Ugh... Housh ended up on the Ravens. Seriously? That's like the worst thing that could happen for my fantasy prospects. >: (

Haha, the move hardly makes sense either. He's going to a team that already has a guy that's better than him at what he does (Boldin).

Well, he wants to go to a contender... and Stallworth is injured so I guess the Ravens wanted him for insurance.
Since Seattle is paying him more than 7kk for free he can basically play a 1 year deal with whoever he wants for nothing... contender would be best choice for him I guess.

Clayton to the Rams, became expendable after getting Housh I'd guess.
