purplemonster Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 (edited) I wouldn't sweat it too much I think he will sign. Jerrah hasn't shown much inclination to play hardball. Gordon though would worry me if I owned him. He could be out til week 10 Edited September 2, 2019 by purplemonster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaft Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 I'm not getting the Pollard Hype. He only carried the ball more than 10 times TWICE in college. Am I missing something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I missing something? Despite that, he appears to be the clear cut backup; Morris hasn't done anything in years. Pollard is super athletic and scored a lot of TDs. YPC was insane and he caught 78 catches his last year in college. These types of pass catching backs can offer great value in deep leagues. Even if Zeke signs, Pollard can still be this year's Nyheim Hines. This year I find myself targeting a lot of WRs in rounds 2 through 5. I have a number of RBs I like in rounds 6 through 15. Pollard is one of them, but his ADP will be too high next week if Elliott still hasn't signed.

michaelredd9 Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 (edited) Cowboys 'not close' to deal with Zeke Elliott https://www.rotoworld.com/football/nfl/player-news NFL Network's Jane Slater reports that despite continued talks between the Cowboys and holdout RB Ezekiel Elliott, a deal is "not close." SOURCE: Jane Slater on Twitter Sep 2, 2019, 10:33 AM Jane SlaterVerified account @SlaterNFL FollowFollow @SlaterNFL More A source informed tells me that while talks with #Cowboys RB Ezekiel Elliott continued late Sunday the deal is still “not close”. When I asked what’s holding it up the answer was the same as last month “everything”. 7:11 AM - 2 Sep 2019 Edited September 2, 2019 by michaelredd9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpkrufus Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 That's depressing. I'm Drafting this evening, looks like I'll be staying away from Zeke and looking to sneak Pollard in at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has 2 more years on the books and can be franchised 2 more years after that. Not to mention that the Cowboys need him BAD. They know they are 8-8 without Zeke. The Chargers can win without Gordon.

Who said he's gonna be out most of the season? Not happening. And yes, I'm plugging Ekeler in and I'll be fine. It's not my fault if you can't draft.

You said owners will be fine if EE is there for your playoff run. Doesn't that sound like YOU think a team should be able to make the playoffs without their 1st round pick? I'll simplify it... when do you think EE will start playing? Twitter › MikeLeslieWFAA Mike Leslie Source close to Ezekiel Elliott maintains that things are “still on schedule” for a deal to come together in the next 24-36 hours I'm reading the same reports you are Opie. The point is that it's gonna get done soon. Neither benefit from a long term holdout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby Brown Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 Have 3 high stakes league drafts this Thursday through Saturday. Playoffs start after week 11 and total points are as important as record for advancing. If Elliot isn't signed, I'd expect his DP to fall to 3rd or 4th. Those who took a chance on Bell late in the first round last year wasted an awful lot of money; and your 1st round pick missing even a couple weeks can be a substantial obstacle.

Yes but assess the risk. What's left after the big 4? A scrap heap of ok backs that may or may not be worth a first round pick and will NEVER put of Zeke type numbers in their respectable offenses. For me it's a risk worth taking. This is not the Leveon or Gordon holdout, this is much different. Both sides need a deal and it will get done.
