I try to follow every talking head guy that talks to teams/players that I possibly can

La confora, Glazer, schefter, rapaport, any and all fantasy guys from ESPN CBS yahoo - news breaks about 20-30mins faster than roto
Wow.
I follow the Bears and Blackhawks on Twitter and I get 30 tweets a day already.
I'll just stick with Rotoworld.

I don't have notifications turned on, I just check it when I'm on my phone a couple times per day and do a quick scroll - and agree that if you follow a few you'll get the news soon enough, but I don't read every single tweet, just scan and scroll

It could be a drug thang.
But if it was, trading him would make the Browns look bad knowing he's headed for a lifetime ban.
Maybe it is what the Browns are saying... they just don't want to put up with his (untrustworthy) shenanigans anymore.
'Boys cut Dez for the same reason (and money).
New leadership. They are cut from the Packers cloth and don’t put up with that crap

Rodgers and Adams a go vs Vikes today

hate the matchup, but I'm pretty sure I benched Jordy one time against X Rhodes, and Jordy put up 100+ and 2TDs - not letting that happen ever again

Davante Adams (questionable, shoulder) is expected to play Week 2 against the Vikings.

He and teammate Aaron Rodgers (knee) will both be available for Sunday's divisional tilt at Lambeau.

Fournette unlikely to play. I’ve got Yeldon but Agholor is awfully tempting going up against that yampa secondary.

I hear what your saying and still have mixed emotions. Doubt Rodgers and Jordy where both banged up in that one. Of course it's always risky to bench a stud.

Schefter and rapaport for fastest breaking news.

But there are tons of other great football accounts out there (including dozens of awesome fantasy football specific ones).

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports both Sony Michel (knee) and Rex Burkhead (concussion) are expected to be active against the Jaguars.
