We finally have a decision on Deshaun Watson's discipline. Former Judge Sue Robinson, the independent arbiter jointly appointed by the NFL and NFLPA, ruled that Watson violated the league's personal conduct policy and recommended he be suspended for six games.
that they wouldn't appeal Judge Robinson's decision. The NFL might not feel inclined to agree with that call.now must grapple with whether Roger Goodell is a more fair/accurate/appropriate arbiter of justice in the Deshaun Watson case than an impartially appointed federal judge who weighed the presented evidence for a month. It’s a sizable question with a consequential answer.
For starters, Watson remains undraftable in standard one-quarterback leagues. Burning a bench spot for nearly half of the fantasy regular season is tough to justify in any situation. Doing it for a quarterback in that format ranges somewhere between wasteful and foolish.Maybe Watson gives you difference-making efficiency from the quarterback spot when he returns in Week 7 but that is an unknown. He’ll be working into a new offense that’s run-heavy and light on pass-catching talent.
It sounds like the Browns want to get one of those contracts off the books and would prefer to do so via trade. If Hunt leaves, that would help Chubb's floor projections in the weeks without Watson because he would likely walk into a bigger passing-down role.Leonard Fournette, Joe Mixonand be a comfortable second-round pick. I'm not at all interested in aggressively drafting either Hunt or Johnson outside of the late rounds as injury-based upside fliers.
