Yea, why not.....  His ejection cost me a win that would of locked up a playoff spot (5 yds away from a 5 point bonus).  Been waiting for how many weeks to get this guy in my lineup and now this. Add this to the Kupp injury and Tate becoming a shell of what he once was since the Philly trade.

He's apparently appealing.  Not sure on what grounds.  Hell, maybe they'll look at it more and give him TWO games.  

I was wondering the same thing.  Dude - you left the bench and not only once but a few times swung at someone.  Stupid in its own sense as dude has a helmet on - but come on man..  Serve your sentence and move on.

These guys need to realize they are not at some park with their buddies, they are PROFESSIONAL ATHLETES, playing the game in front of 50-80K fans and millions on TV. 

 

Story on lost appeal from NFL.com

 

"Your brothers are getting attacked, they're fighting out there, you're going to have to go there and also protect your own, but at the same time, professional now, I mean, you can't have that," Fournette told the press on Sunday. "I apologize to all those kids out there who look up to me and all of our fans. The biggest thing is this whole loss, totally on me. I take full responsibility." Fournette also issued an apology Sunday on Instagram.

How did his ejection cost you a win? He had 2 TDs before that even happened? Were you relying on him to get you 3 TDs or something??

Yeah surely he had someone who didnt perform as expected. Seems harsh to go after the guys who'd already wracked up over 20pts as stupid as it was.

 

Bad timing, just as his owners were starting to forget the months on the sidelines.

I get a 5 point bonus when a RB breaks 100 (He had 95 when he was ejected).  I lost by less than 5 so I blame him....  And now in a must win situation this week I will have to start Yeldon or Howard in his place :sick:

But if someone else scores a TD you also win so why isnt it the fault of those players?

Obviously counting on 100 yards out of a guy that hadn't done it all year, and not counting on his other players to score.

 

His fantasy points the last 3 games are pretty similar, (22.9, 20.1, 22.8) was he expected to score closer to 30 ?

 

PS  I'd suggest changing to a scoring system that doesn't have those huge bonuses for just a few more yards, we finally went to fractional scoring so every 1 yard rushing/receiving counts, no more agonizing over a loss because I almost got that next point.
