LOL!

I think that I have become high on Abdullah and Allen Robinson

You were asking for potential sleepers? Abdullah is looking more and more like he will have the LIONS share of the Lions backfield! Even before that, he was a target on everybody's board to at the least assume the old Reggie Bush role.

Robinson? Clearly Bortles favorite WR last year before he broke his foot and right back there this pre-season. Having Julius Thomas at TE will only help open up the field for him even more this year.

Seminole just made a sneaky move in our league picking up Fred Jackson after seeing the news that he was cut by Buffalo. As of now, New England appears to be sniffing around, but do not rule out other teams, maybe Houston either!

Now, really depends if your draft is tonight/early in the week or late week or next week. If Jackson has already been picked up by a team where he could take over a backfield, or at least assume a large share, then he will go much higher off of the board.

FYI, if your draft is tonight, Julius Thomas is out for a few weeks!

I can't wait for my draft next Tuesday! That is my auction draft and he will be the first player that I throw out! Get him out there when everyone still has most of their money, so no one gets a bargain on him late!

Wonder how he will go in my snake draft this Thursday? Probably very late round pick now, as that league does not require a TE. 2 RB, 2 WR and 3 Flex can be RB/WR/TE.

Julius Thomas is expected to require surgery on his broken hand, and will be sidelined 4-5 weeks.
Specifically, Thomas needs surgery on a finger tendon. For what it's worth, Thomas is getting a second opinion on Tuesday. He can safely be ruled out for Weeks 1-3, and is highly questionable for Week 4. Considering Thomas' injury history, it's not a guarantee he'll be back for Week 5. It's a major concern for the Jags' entire offense, as Thomas' presence won't be commanding attention in the red zone as Blake Bortles looks to build off his big summer. Clay Harbor is the next man up at tight end. Already a low-end TE1, the injury-prone Thomas is firmly a TE2 for the final week of drafting.
