giraldi02 470 Posted August 30, 2014 This weekend there are a lot of fantasy drafts...and the next two days are going to concrete a lot of questions. If anyone wants to post and add to it it might help you get that last minute edge over the weekend. So..just off of initial look today, here are the first few observations.Is Santonio Holmes a lock with the Bears?The Eagles are releasing Alex Henery and going with a kid named Cody Parkey (he can boot 50+ yarders). He will be the very definition of sleeper kicker on a high powered offense that might have gotten better. The Eagles had to get within the 35 yard line to be comfortable with Alex Henery. BJGE was released...which helps Jeremy Hill's rookie campaign in deep redrafts.Kyle Orton has apparently signed with the Bills for a one year contract. I don't trust their QB's at all. Love Watkins as a dynasty guy, but hate the Bills entirely in redraft.Terrell Pryor was cut. The Jets maybe? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigMilk 40 Posted August 30, 2014 Santonio is getting hyped by the Bears as having a "real role" in the office and reports have him splitting the WR3 job with Morgan. https://twitter.com/ProFootballTalk/status/505410707933102080 Not sure I buy it, but worth keeping in mind for those still drafting super deep.

That makes me salivate at waiting on quarterbacks and then drafting Cutler . Been able to pair him with Foles or Brady in almost every league. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

giraldi02 470 Posted August 30, 2014 Are you certain the Eagles cut Alex Henry? Eskin and Reuben Frank both tweeted about it. McManus implied it in his tweet but referenced an article immediately post-game. Just a suggestion. Maybe a rookie kicker isn't anything special. But they should be able to kick beyond 47 yards. Henery cant and he contributed greatly in New Orleans' win in the playoffs. But beware. We got what we wanted when Akers screwed the pooch in the playoffs.

Cuse9 128 Posted August 30, 2014 Are you certain the Eagles cut Alex Henry? Cody Parkey - K - Eagles Undrafted rookie K Cody Parkey has reportedly made the Eagles' 53-man roster. Alex Henery is now likely to be cut. Parkey was acquired from the Colts on August 20, and went 3-for-3 with two 50-plus yard field goals in the Eagles' final preseason game Thursday night. Parkey should be a solid streaming option in the Eagles' high-powered offense. Source: NJ.com Aug 29 - 8:10 PM 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Candygram4Mongo 8 Posted August 30, 2014 With McCoy and Foles on my squad, I grabbed Henery to add to their numbers. I'm still waiting for official word from the Eagles, but I'm sure Parkey will replace Henery on my team by this afternoon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One of the three is bound to score. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spec7ral 6 Posted August 30, 2014 Washington cut 3 RBs including royster. What's up with the RB situation there? Shannahan leaves but it still seems a bit murky with the nasty comments about Morris as a pas catcher. I feel like helu has some good value at his adp... Thoughts?

giraldi02 470 Posted August 30, 2014 Helu went in the 12th round in my last draft. Excellent value. I think a lot of people are going to be disappointed with Alfred Morris' numbers this season. He's a good back, don't get me wrong, but that offense is going to utilize a pass catching back and he isn't it. Given their cutting of Royster, it makes me almost itchy for Seastrunk too in a deep league. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cyclone24 1,837 Posted August 30, 2014 I forget every year this week how ruthless the NFL is. Guys that were on the brink of having real roles on their team last year, dont make the roster the next year. Its brutal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mike FF Today 613 Posted August 30, 2014 Redskins release three running backsEvan Royster, Lache Seastrunk and Chris ThompsonBy: Mike Krueger | Aug 30 2014, 7:29 am The Washington Redskins resumed roster cuts on Saturday morning, releasing running backs Evan Royster, Lache Seastrunk and Chris Thompson, according to people with knowledge of the situation. (Washington Post) FFToday's Take: Seastrunk is a candidate for the practice squad and will likely land there if no other team claims him. This move mean undrafted free agent Silas Redd has made the team and will operate as the third running back behind Alfred Morris and Roy Helu. Redd lead the team this preseason in rushing with 157 yards on 34 carries. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Candygram4Mongo 8 Posted August 30, 2014 Alex Henery released by Eagles. Cody Parkey, who hit two 50+ yard fgs last week, is the kicker. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TennisMenace 156 Posted August 30, 2014 I'm hoping to see some promising OL guy on this list so my Gmen can snatch him up. My grandmother could probably block better than most on that line. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

giraldi02 470 Posted August 30, 2014 A bit surprised that Matthew Tucker didn't make the Eagles. Seemed like a good power back in limited exposure. Will be very interesting to see if he or Josey gets picked up by anyone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tanatastic 2,061 Posted August 31, 2014 Not notable from a fantasy perspective, but Michael Sam got the ax.Afraid he won't get picked up. The rams missed a folded opportunity for PR and a revenue stream they don't have to pay big bucks. Hope they enjoy venomous backlash and hatred from the people who bought Jerseys. Dumb to cut him. But oh well, that's the end of that story. Still no openly gay players ever in the nfl. Gotta make the final roster to count. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
