If you see this referenced anywhere, it's BS.
It's from a fantasy site and a very real-looking spoof.

Mods, move this if you want.....FFL forum maybe? I just didn't want any fellow OManers to get duped.

The NFL has reportedly suspended 16 more players for violation of its substance-abuse policy. The Associated Press reported that of the 16 names 12 are starters on their respective teams. While an official announcement is expected from NFL Commissioner, Paul Tagliabue at a formal press conference Tuesday morning, the respective coaches have already been notified. Players that are rumored to be on the suspension list are: Vikings QB Daunte Culpepper, Raiders WR Randy Moss, Chargers RB Ladainian Tomlinson, Dolphins rookie RB Ronnie Brown and WR David Boston, Browns RB William Green, Denver RBs Tatum Bell and Mike Anderson, Eagles DE Javon Kearse, Colts WR Reggie Wayne, Patriots DE Richard Seymore and Panthers DE Julius Peppers. The others on the suspension list include Patriot LB Dan Klecko, Seahawks DE Joe Tafoya, Buccaneers CB Juran Bolden and Raiders T Chad Slaughter.

The report states that the players named will be suspended for the first four regular-season games without pay. For Cleveland RB William Green, the penalty may be more severe. He was suspended for violating the same league policy during the 2003 season and was forced to sit out 4 games and enter a diversionary program. Miami WR David Boston falls into the same fate as this would be his second violation.

The suspended players will be allowed to attend team meetings and work out, but they can't practice with the team during their suspensions. The league changed a rule this season to allow suspended players to participate in some club functions. Under terms of the collective bargaining agreement, all NFL suspensions are confidential. NFL spokesman Greg Aiello would only confirm the suspensions.

Does the author of this trash really believe some roto player is going to panic and drop one of those players because of this one story?

All I'm saying is it's very real and I saw it pop up on the Pats board.....so I figured I'd prevent any freaking out here.

And you reminded me.....I need to get my hot tub fixed. Winter is coming.

Well, I really didn't want to see a thread here titled "Tatum Bell and Mike Anderson SUSPENDED??"

Wow. Do people not think that there are an awful lot of premier FF players on that list for the sole purpose of you dumping them so they can pick them up. Wow, just wow.

Believe me, the NFL is never going to go after its bread and butter like that. They'll stick with the occasional suspension of 2nd tier guys.
