honestly it affects scrambling ability more than anything. with plant foot I suppose there is the risk it affects his throwing motion so maybe in pre season you may want to make sure. I will say the one camp report I saw said Cousins looked extremely sharp so I'd say the odds are decent that he will be fine. and as he is not a running QB this shouldnt change the way he plays in any significant way. Hes a pocket passer and that wont change. This injury is far worse for a RB than it is for QB.

I think you are overreacting here. dude has had trouble with the law so it is a legitimate risk he gets suspended. what we dont know is when that happens or if it happens at all but it is still a risk. and you should treat that the same as an injury that could keep him out a few games (or not) if you wanna ignore that risk as a fantasy owner thats your choice and you are free to do so. I dont expect everyone here to know the ins and outs of the law in each state. (I know I dont) all I know is hes been arrested and that is a risk. I've also found that on average when a player has an off field issue they are dealing with it quite often will affect on field production. my theory is that this happens because the guy is not 100% focused on football. so I dont just avoid because of risk of suspension. I also avoid for this reason. case in point Desean Watson. while he paid dearly to make the legals go away I'm sure this wreaked havoc on his personal life too and no surprise, he signs a huge contract and flops. I think eventually he may bounce back. dont know if it happens this year or not but I dont think he just became a bad player overnight. There is more to this. the dude is human. either way, food for your thoughts. you dont have to agree with me but thats where i'm at on this issue.

its more an endorsement of whoever emerges as the #1. right now that looks like him but is subject to change. whoever wins the #1 job is the one who puts up the numbers. that's what I'm saying.

irrelevant. hes not draftable unless hes at least a #2 WR and right now it looks like hes #3 on the depth chart. Like I said, the talent is there but he seems to be struggling to put it all together.

I actually like him this year. I think he puts up draftable numbers. John Brown put up 1000 yards in this offense and at the time he was considered to be washed up. it is my belief that whatever WR turns out to be the #1 WR in this offense will likely put up 1000 yards (or close to it). You can take this one to the bank boys and girls. and Samuel right now is my bet on this. (though I reserve my right to change my mind if someone else flashes a lot in camp)

or they have no choice. if Aiyuk refuses to sign an extention that likely scuttles the deal

either way, I dont care all that much. Im not drafting the guy. never have, likely never will. for most people here, thats really all the validation you need haha. do not draft. the rest may be nice to speculate upon but in the end, it doesnt really matter

honestly I think the goal line TDs are the one thing about him you can rely on. its the rest of the workload I'm not sure about

yeah, but any rookie not ready to step up and be a starter gets this kind of coach speak at one point or another. thats fine. given that the starters were deebo and Aiyuk I was not expecting him to beat out one of those guys. he may get a better chance to show what he can do if Aiyuk gets moved. but it also depends on whether a WR is coming back in the deal

he does have that kind of upside. but due to rodgers age/health I'm still treating as a low end WR1. but the upside on that pick is considerable. it looks like his ADP is shortening up so people are catching on that this is a good pick at his ADP.

I think the only way hes not a WR1 is if Rodgers gets hurt again. look who was his QB the last 2 years when he put up 1000 yards in his rookie year and 1100 last year. I think with a legit QB this guy could be a stud. I'm treating him as if hes a low end WR1 right now with upside

well, it is worth noting that on each team he had an alpha WR on the other side who is a deep threat. he doesnt have this in Buffalo so maybe his need is greater here.

fully agree on the skill. that leaves only one reason why he could possibly be there. they want a guy with a superbowl ring on the roster. Its the only logical (or semi logical) explanation. hes not there for his production on the field I doubt. unless for some reason the coach thinks he can get more out of him than any other team with an elite QB has.
