I know, Best has been good for my teams in my two ppr leagues.
That is what is fueling the speculation. No news other than Best sitting out practice and the Lions picking up two new backs, although as was said, Davis is only practice squad.
He basically walked out of Redskins training camp and went MIA with no explanation. Shanahan was pissed as hell. You get blackballed for that #### in the NFL, if you can't act like a professional.
Pretty early on a Wednesday to be drunk hahaha.
This needs some clarification as its all speculation right now. There really isn't much reason to think that Ronnie wouldn't start over Morris, other than Morris being more familiar with the protection packages. The Lions run a lot of plays out of the shotgun but I don't know if that increases the importance of having a back that knows the packages or not. Given Stafford's injury history, and that neither back is expected to "light it up" if Best is out, makes me lean toward thinking that Morris might see more snaps. However, that's not to say the RB won't see more carries
Very muddled situation right now.
I think he was pissed that they brought in and then he was working behind Hightower, Helu, and Royster in addition to Keiland Williams & Torain (who were already on the roster). I think he saw that 6th string RB's don't usually make the team
This post makes no sense whatsoever. The dude is #8 in PPR and could have been drafted in the 4th / 5th round. Insane value even if he misses a game or two.R.Brown will be mostly vulturing Stafford's TD passes and Jason Hanson's field goals, not Best's runs so even this signing doesn't impact him hugely.
Ronnie "FG Vulture" Brown
Pretty sure you just muddled things more with your post.This needs some clarification as its all speculation right now.

Nothing worse than watching your placekicker put the team on his back and drive the length of the field, only to see some backup RB come in off the bench and put it through the uprights!!
For the simple minded among us, Jason Hanson has 6 FG's from 20-29 yds. A higher percentage of those possessions should be converted into TD's with Brown. Best wasn't converting GL looks anyway so his stats shouldn't be affected too much by R.Brown's acquisition.Nothing worse than watching your placekicker put the team on his back and drive the length of the field, only to see some backup RB come in off the bench and put it through the uprights!!
Well, Ronnie Brown has 0 career FGs of 20-29 yards AND 0 career TDs of 20-29 yards. I predict he vultures 0 20-29 yard FGs going forward.For the simple minded among us, Jason Hanson has 6 FG's from 20-29 yds.

By the time he runs out to the field the game is over.
and Hanson will probably also hit more 40+ yard FGs now because the DET running game wont be as good and they wont sustain as many drivesFor the simple minded among us, Jason Hanson has 6 FG's from 20-29 yds.

Harrison is on the Eagles
Negative.
Great Zeus on a toothpick, what?
F@$k, no wonder it still says PHI on Yahoo! waste of waivers
I was talking about the best not being an NFL RB for tge lions. I was not talking about the player on your little fantasy team that I could care less about.
That is without question the most peculiar sentence I have read all day.
Dude... I think he is saying now that Schwartz would have run a bunch of fake FGs with Brown getting the ball.

Man, I think that just tells us that any talented RB on this planet is currently rostered.
I find it funny you put me on alert because I ask a trade question on how much people value Ingram, and you quote Joe's pinned thread on the shark pool and get the mods on me, yet I click on this thread for an update and get nothing worthwhile. Youre a joke and a hypocrite, and thats coming from someone who makes plenty of posts in jests like this.Dude...

Yep, it is a tight market out there. Reaching deep for lightning in a bottle.

It sucks playing board cop. But I place an extremely high priority on keeping the Shark Pool a great forum and on topic.
