And soo, Wow, so many of you are really bad at listening. Just not a skill that many in this audience have because the feedback that I'm getting on social media in my email box.

Email us, Roto Underworld at gmail.com, tweet us at Roto Underworld is just

oozing stupidity. I never said drafting handcuffs was a good idea.

I don't care if it's a running back

hand cuff, a wide receiver hand cuff,

a tight end hand cuff, a quarterback hand cuff,

drafting pure handcuffs is a waste of a draft pick. Why is that? Two reasons. Number one, a pure

handcuff has no standalone value. You can't play them.

Inevitably, they linger around your roster on your bench for a couple weeks

crowding out other potential breakout players that you could be picking up and then

ultimately injuries hit other areas of your roster and you have to drop the

handcuff for a real replacement with real fantasy production.

It's a pretty easy opportunity cost formula. I could take a player who could break out in week one versus a player who will likely not break out at all.

Pure handcuffs are pure nonsense. I'm talking about

James Connor. I'm talking about Darren McFadden, Brandon Oliver. I just saw

Brandon Oliver get drafted in a dynasty rookie draft in which a handful of

fringe veterans are also available in the player pool. I just

smacked my forehead. The Melvin Gordon owner just burned a pick that could have been used on a player with real value in year one, week one.

It's just irrational risk aversion because while running backs are more injury

prone than many other positions they're not more injury prone than

the tight end position the tight end position is actually the most injury

prone of the skill positions and so what if you're running back gets injured?
