Need I say more?
It's time to bid farewell to Odell Beckham Jr. As much as I'm trying to hold off and let my talent develop, I don't believe there's any reason to allow this relationship to go any further.
I chose the Ravens not only because they're one of the top-rated free agent defenses, but also because of the 11th-round bye. While I sort of "forgot" to really pay close attention to byes during the draft, I figure now is as good a time as any to start. It's really nice to know I don't need to look for a replacement until Week 10. I'll look closely at byes when I'm shopping for a kicker and backup QB, as well.
This leaves 3 rookies on my roster. Brandin Cooks (WR) is impressing everyone in New Orleans with his blazing speed. Alfred Blue (RB) could potentially be the backup in Houston. And Terrance West is making a bid for starting running back in Cleveland!
I have mixed feelings about the emergence of West. By all appearances, this may foil my plans to make Ben Tate a Top Five back. At the same time, what if West is a star? The likelihood, of course, is they'll really only be a committee half the season when one or the other isn't hurt. And when one of them is injured, it looks like I can start the healthy back with confidence when I need to. It'll be interesting to see how this plays out.
