NE RB Faulk Pleads No Contest to Marijuana Charges
Kevin Faulk has pled “no contest” to misdemeanor charges of possession of marijuana, due to a February 22nd incident at a Lil’ Wayne rap concert in Louisiana. Evidently, Faulk possessed 4 marijuana “cigars” when he was cited for the crime.
There is no word yet on any possible team or league sanctions related to the substance abuse conviction - but now that the legal system has run its course we may see action on one or both fronts.
Fantasy owners will want to stay tuned to the fallout from this event as Faulk’s production this year would drop if he receives a lengthy suspension. If Faulk were to be out of the picture for a chunk of time, TE Ben Watson would probably receive more pass targets in the short passing game, while Laurence Maroney could see an increase in his workload as primary ball carrier. The offensive mix in New England would definitely look different with Faulk off the field.
