Wes Welker

No new drug-testing policy this weekend

The NFL and the players’ union are close to an agreement on a new drug-testing policy, but not close enough to get it done this weekend.

A league source tells PFT that the earliest a new policy could get done is early next week. The ball is currently in the league’s court, as the NFL Players Association has made a proposal that requires the league’s response.

Fantasy Impact: 

There was some hope that players suspended under the current policy — including Broncos receiver Wes Welker and Browns receiver Josh Gordon — could have those suspensions lifted in time for them to play in Week One. But that’s not happening. It’s still possible that a new deal could get done and that the new deal would be applied retroactively to players like Welker and Gordon, but not in time to spare them from sitting out Week One.

Broncos WR Emmanuel Sanders (thigh, probable) took full practice reps all week and is probable for Week 1. Sanders will be leaned on heavily with Wes Welker suspended and we love him this week against the Colts.

More detail on a possible NFL/NFLPA drug/substance deal

From Albert Breer's Twitter feed:

Union chief DeMaurice Smith on @1067thefandc in DC on Josh Gordon/Wes Welker: "If we get a deal done that covers players in this league year, I don't like that we punish players under a deal active in the old league year."

Basically, he said he'd want all players busted during the 2014 league year to be penalized under the new rules.

Worth mentioning that Josh Gordon's failed drug test reportedly came in the 2013 league year. So he wouldn't necessarily be off the hook.

Fantasy Impact: 

Breer interprets Smith's comments to meant that Gordon would not be punished under the new policy since his infraction occurred in 2013. Regardless, we recommend holding on to Gordon (if possible) through the weekend to see if anything develops.

Josh Gordon, Wes Welker could have suspensions reduced under new drug policy

As Mike Florio reported on NBC, Broncos WR Wes Welker, Browns WR Josh Gordon and potentially other players in the midst of suspensions could benefit from a new drug testing policy that the owners and players could agree upon soon.

If the NFL changes its policy and agrees to apply it retroactively to players who tested positive this year, Welker and Gordon would benefit. Which means that while the players’ union is stopping short of saying an agreement is very close, Welker and Gordon would be wise to call their union representatives and urge them to get the deal done, and get it done soon.

Fantasy Impact: 

We recommend that Gordon owners hold on at least until Week 2 waivers and take a wait-and-see approach depending on how things develop over the next several days. Albert Breer of the NFL Network reports that there is a 'soft deadline' of Sunday for the NFL and NFLPA to agree to a new drug policy.
