Russell is a total wildcard, coming off multiple leg injuries and the academic issues and whatever may have got him cut at KC. He's not going to contribute this week and they didn't dress either reserve guard. Hopkins is possibly the guy to go when Burfict comes back, so now it will be Brown or Russell himself if they find out he isn't worth it. I asked in YXD's FA thread, but I believe they get him for his base salary as KC would likely have to pay his bonus money, but maybe I'm wrong. Either way, it's a cheap pick which is reason enough to pick him up with only the knowledge your own scouts had on him. Hardly any risk, could be a big reward.
