KENYAN DRAKE
RB, MIAMI DOLPHINS

FOX's Jay Glazer reports Kenyan Drake is on the trade block.
The Dolphins are trying to get rid of anyone even remotely good at football, and Drake has been treated as not good at football by successive coaching staffs. The Dolphins probably can't wait to move on, and Drake certainly can't wait to get out. The 'Fins will have one of the worst backfields in recent memory if Drake is sent packing. Wherever he lands, it would likely increase his fantasy value.

i just dont get what they're doing philosophically - when you tank/rebuild arent you supposed to keep young players who are valuable to build around rather than shedding any talent you can find

Tunsil was potentially a cornerstone franchise piece to build around
Fitzpatrick has been inconsistent but is a young player with lots of team control who's shown promise
Drake is a good looking back

Beats me. Nothing makes sense.

DREW BREESQB, NEW ORLEANS SAINTS

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports Drew Brees is believed to be dealing with a ligament issue in his throwing thumb.
Brees visited a hand specialist Sunday after exiting the Saints' Week 2 game in Los Angeles. The full extent of his injury won't be known until later today, though Brees fears the injury is "significant." Rapoport also noted that surgery is an "option" for the 19-year vet. With Brees' status in limbo, all signs point to Teddy Bridgewater getting the ball at Seattle in Week 3.

  • BEN ROETHLISBERGERQB, PITTSBURGH STEELERS

    According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, a decision on whether Ben Roethlisberger needs surgery on his injured elbow will be made Monday.
    Roethlisberger is headed for an MRI Monday, which should enlighten doctors as to whether he needs surgery, though Ben is hoping to avoid that "at all costs." Mason Rudolph played admirably in his NFL debut Sunday (112 yards on 12-for-19 passing with two touchdowns and one interception in a loss to Seattle) and would be in line to start against San Francisco in Week 3 if Roethlisberger can't get the green light. He could be worth a spin in two-quarterback and superflex settings.

Brian Flores gets a HC job to tank the team for Tua or a 2 year tank for Trevor, then gets fired. Why would any coach take this job.

What pisses me off is that the Patriots have 3 bye weeks this season.
