Dri Archer

Earlier before the preseason this guy was seen as possibly the next Chris Johnson. With Blount and Bell looking at a team suspension, is this guy worth a pick up for the first few games?

I don't know if there will be any suspension right away and I don't know if there will be one at all, but that said I love Dri Archer anyhow. If those guys do get suspended then I would say it would be worth the gamble of a waiver wire pick top grab him. i actually drafted him but everyone knows I am the Al Davis of fantasy sports. heck i even have Jeff Demps on my squad.

The cool thing about Dri that I am wishing upon a star about is I feel there is a chance he could see time as a slot guy. The coach and eveen some of my Steeler;s fans friends believe he will get 6 to 8 touches a game minimum which if those are all receptions that's not to bad in a ppr league and since rbs are scarce as it is.

Is against the CBA for individual teams to suspend players. And even if they "benched" each for a game, probably wouldn't be both for the same game.

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette confirms the Steelers are not going to impose any suspensions on Le'Veon Bell or LeGarrette Blount.
Beat man Ed Bouchette has heard from fantasy players worried that Bell and/or Blount would be suspended by coach Mike Tomlin for Week 1. It's not going to happen because 1)The Steelers want to beat the Browns and 2)Team-imposed suspensions violate the league's collective bargaining agreement. Furthermore, any discipline from the NFL won't be handed down until after the case plays out in court -- something that can be held off until after the season. "If you have not yet held your fantasy football draft and want to take Le'Veon Bell, you can do so without fear it will cost you or him a game," writes Bouchette. Aug 27 - 8:58 AM

The next CJ0K?!?!?

Every rookie draft I have taken part in this summer he went in about the 4th-5th round at best. Most of the time not even drafted. I don't see him having any impact with the Bell/Blount situation. Demps 2.0?

 

[SteelersPride]

no, no one in pgh even said he was the next cj0k

hes tiny and explosive

if you blow on him he may fall over

Think tavon austin, but at a much lesser drft pick..and just as good

But tavon as a top 10 pick, in a talentless group of wr, has failed to do much fantsy wise......

expect archer to have a role, but just tht a role, never gonna be a feature, he will have package of plays

I don't think he's ever going to be a featured running back. But I'm also not convinced of Bell. In my opinion, that makes him worth a flier if he fits on your roster.

He's one of the few players I have on my watch list.
