GFFL EFFECT: Vincent Jackson Hold Out


This new thing I'm doing for 2010 is I take some NFL news and do the GFFL EFFECT and explain how I feel it effects the league. So let's start with some huge news the VJAX holdout. Vincent Jackson missed the deadline to sign his tender and he is strongly expected to sit out the first ten games of the season. Reason being he needs 6 games for it to count as a season credit for his contract status thus making him a freeagent in 2011. So how does it effect the Gibson Fantasy Football League

Rayz - The current owner of Vincent Jackson who he selected in the 3rd round is obvioulsy effected the most. The Rayz were counting heavily on him to be their flex play and to allow them to still have two strong receivers even on bye weeks. The original starting line up was good enough to be in the top 2 of the league, but without VJAX the flex options are HB Hardesty, HB R.Bush, HB C.Williams, HB D.Ward, and WR Demar. Thomas none of those are strong options and none of them are week to week starters. Add on to the fact that when R.Moss and Colston are on byes Demar. Thomas the very raw rookie out of Denver is the only replacement currently on the roster. Tray is in some trouble and needs to find a legit WR3 or flex play cause it looks like VJAX will be of little use this season maybe even when he gets back I can't see them using him that much. With this news the Rayz are still a strong team but the Kings may have by passed them for 2nd place. A weak flex spot when facing the top tier teams could be a huge problem for the Rayz especially in the Beast East.

Princesses - The owner of Malcom Floyd who has instantly become a strong WR2 and while the Princesses are still far down the list of teams they have just received a gift. Their widereceiver core of Sidney Rice and Malcom Floyd isn't too bad if she could somehow secure a stronger HB2 this team could really fight for a playoff spot...too bad they have nothing to trade for one and runningbacks are scarce so still cellar dweller just better.
