Redskins Suspensions Have Fantasy Implications

by Ken Meringolo on Dec 7, 2011 10:20 AM EST in Fantasy Football

In addition to losing two solid players from our...ahem...high-octane offense, there are other issues that stem from the benching of Fred Davis and Trent Williams. That's right...there are fantasy implications.

When I drafted Fred Davis this preseason, Chris Cooley was still on the board. Dallas Clark was still on the board. Jimmy Graham was still in the board. Simply put, I placed a great deal of faith in the USC grad. His suspension is as much his fault as it is mine. After all, my fantasy team has a far more relaxed policy towards off-field behavior, and I really dropped the ball when it came to petitioning the league to try and align their policy with mine.

If you were riding #83 to the fantasy playoffs, your ride has come to a smoky, hazy stop.

I'm guessing not many teams drafted Trent Williams, but if you have any member of the Redskins offense on it you are affected. If you own any defense the Redskins will be playing in the next few weeks, you are affected.

Today's question: which player's suspension has the greatest fantasy impact?

(Please don't comment that there are issues bigger than fantasy football at play here. First of all, that is debatable in and of itself. Secondly, this is a quick-hitting fantasy football poll. That gives us the rest of the day to save the world. I have already spent more time on this disclaimer than I did on the entire post.)

Fantasy wise.

Helu can still run to the right to make up for no Trent on the left. Davis was a top passing option. Davis is the bigger lose Fantasy wise for me.

I’m still waiting for the HH writers and commenters Naughty/Nice post though Ken…

I thought you meant that it should be written by either a commenter or HH writer...

I can’t write that because I would just give you every award.

And I would expect some serious British candy…you know…the ones with the crazy names and ridiculous amounts of sugar.

Nah man, Naughty/Nice was your idea originally

Has to be you to write it.

Crazy named candy? First of all candy is called “sweets” here. Secondly, I have no idea what crazy names you’re on about… Shifty eyes

DEFENSE- Take every teams defense playing the Redskins

With no Left Tackle to protect a fumbling/interception prone Rex Grossman, and the only deep threat on the team gone, this is a Fantasy Coup for teams that do not have the 3 or 4 great defenses.

Fred Davis

because he’s on one of my teams, but good point about opposing defenses and Williams being gone.

+1

Now I need a new tight end. Hhhmm that kind of sounded bad.

I want to get high, so high. I want to get high, so high. Sleepy, Silverback, and I are going to roll a blunt if anyone wants to join us.

Davis and Williams are devastating for my fantasy

…my fantasy of supporting a team of well performing professional athletes that aren’t complete morons.
