Possible suspension looming for Blount

Fantasy Impact:
Dale Lolley reported on Twitter that any punishment from the NFL would not happen soon. This will be Blount's first offense in the NFL which normally carries a one game suspension. However, Blount did have the incident in college of striking the fan in the stands. It is conceivable that Goodell uses that incident in his decision and could extend a suspension out to 2 games. With L Bell also being charged with marijuana possession and DUI the same day, Pittsburgh's RB corps may be taking a huge hit during the season. Blount's ADP was as the 49th RB off the board (146th overall). With this news, expect his draft stock to take a hit and drop from a 12-13th round pick to a flier in the 15-16th round.
