C.J. Gardner-Johnson: NFL suspends him one game for spitting

THE FACT. The NFL suspended Buffalo safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson one game for spitting at a Raiders player during Sunday's Week 6 win, per NFL.com. The Bills' official site reported Monday that the ban costs him the Week 8 meeting with Baltimore, that he may appeal, and that Joe Brady called the act inexcusable while saying the team will not add discipline of its own.

THE VERDICT. Redraft: this barely registers unless you stream the Buffalo defense. IDP: pull him from lineups for the game he misses and slot a replacement. The Bills' site noted Damar Hamlin and rookie Jalon Kilgore filled in after the ejection, with Hamlin posting six tackles and Kilgore drawing 10 snaps as the third safety in dime, so Hamlin is the safer one-week streamer of the two in tackle-heavy formats. Dynasty: hold. A one-game ban carries no long-term weight.
