Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
But St. Paul Pioneer Press staffer Sean Jensen advised readers it appears they're protecting themselves from having to pay a vested veteran for the entire season. Coming off a torn Achilles and acknowledging to Jensen the other day that he wasn't 100 percent, Pinkston would not be a good player to lock into having to pay $585,000. Or perhaps they weren't thrilled with what they saw.
