It doesn't look like this is going to go anywhere to me, but it's a pretty serious accusation as it would involve atleast some jail time if proven to be true.

The more I think and Hear about this the more I think that the Woman was probably in Bettis's car, and probably did "perform".
 
But even then, I can't believe that Bettis forced her.  In the end result, Bettis will most likely just take a big PR Black Eye from this, but will not be charged with anything.
 
Even if he is charged, it will take weeks, maybe months before anything happens.  I can't say that it's worth running out to get Zereoue yet, but it's a concideration?

Or Fuamatu'Mafala?  What is your take on that?  I have one, but I would respectfully like to hear yours first, Mr. Runner!

More info coming out on this:
 
The Woman that "Performed" is a stripper at a Greensburg, PA strip club.  Not that it means the story is false, but it will certainly make it harder to prove her accusation.  Hey, don't blame me for that statement, it's just the way society reacts.
 
The article in the link above states that Bettis passed a polygraph, that is not actually true, he passed a voice stress test.

Just Briefly, I'll try to come back to this
 
Zereoue is the better long term shot, but Fuamatu-Ma'afala keeps stealing the Goal line. If you were counting on this sitsuation, I would say you are in trouble. Don't allow yourself to get in a spot where you need one of these two guys because they will split time if Bettis is out. However, if you are looking to strike it big with a roster spot you don't need, I think Zereoue is the way to go.

Zereoue is the better bet at RB.  Keep in mind the large contract he signed in the off-season.  There has to be some justification for that kind of money.
 
Fuamatu-Ma'afala would be the better choice in goal-line situations, but Kordell could get those calls as well.  Or the old fade to the tall receiver (Plaxico) in the corner of the endzone.
 
Either way, this whole thing most likely will be off the radar as soon as Bettis puts up some good numbers against the Super Bowl champs.
 
(By the way, the spellings of the names above are the correct ones... I know they're not easy, but someone has to get it right.)

I'll give my take on this.  Since Cowher has been the head coach at Pittsburgh, there has been only one year when the leading rusher was not the prototypical "big back".  That RB was Ericc Peagram and during that year he split time with a developing Bam Morris.  If you really want to see the potential upside to Zeroue, look up the stats for that year and substitute Amos for Peagram and Fu for Bam.
 
One other thing to consider is that Amos was ill this offseason and has not yet come back to form.
 
If you are in a very deep league and want a RB who will consistently give you some stats, Zeroue will do that, however he will come at the price of a solid #2 backup (which he isn't).
 
If you want to bet that the Bus is out of the lineup, whether due to this scandal or injury, the RB that will get you the most bang for the buck is Fu.
