He would've been on deathrace for sure had he made the starting line, and had an 80% chance of making my DDP team, as while he would've only been worth 8 points, he was interesting enough that he would've been worth it. He would have been on my team as it stands, but, its August. Better picks will appear later in the year. Always do. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
