Cowboys | Rico Gathers handed one-game ban

Dallas Cowboys TE Rico Gathers was suspended one game for violating the league’s substance abuse policy Friday, June 14.

Footballguys View: Gathers had basketball background tight end fantasy upside when he came into the league, but the Cowboys remolded him into a tackle-sized player and his movement skills suffered for it. This is third Cowboys player suspended this offseason after Randy Gregory and David Irving were placed on indefinite suspensions.

Jets | Chris Herndon facing two-game ban?

New York Jets TE Chris Herndon is reportedly ‘facing the likelihood’ of a two-game suspension for pleading guilty in January to driving while intoxicated, according to ESPN’s Rich Cimini.

Footballguys View: This makes Herndon tough to draft in short bench leagues because he’ll clog up a valuable roster spot for the first two waiver wire runs. He’s still draftable in deep bench and tight end premium leagues, although his absence could open a crack in the door for fourth round pick Trevon Wesco.
